BCM® 16" SS410 Barrel with Mid Length Gas (stripped) 1/8 Twist

I just broke in my new barrel and if I do my part it will shoot most ammo 1 MOA or better. POI shift is minimal at 100yrds between a variety of ammo. What is amazing is the velocity I'm getting out a 16" barrel.

Overall I've got a few hundred rounds out of the barrel and I'm very happy with the performance.

Have used this barrel and a BCM BCG as part of my 3gun build for the last 2 years. Its let me consistently place Top 3 in every local 3gun I've shot and 15th AM Division at the Brownells-AR15.com Pro/Am 3gun at Rockcastle Shooting Center Aug 25-28. Keep up the EXCELLENT products and I'll keep shooting.

Amazing accuracy ranging from 55gr. to 62gr. to 75gr. bullets. I truly believe this is the best all around barrel for any 5.56X45mm NATO bullets. The stainless shine of the barrel gives my AR an extra pop and is easy to clean. Also features an excellent barrel extension and very clean muzzle threads. This is my first BCM barrel and loving it.

I've had mine about a year now and am very happy with it. If you're looking for a mid weight middy this is a great choice. Mine will put most quality ammo into 1.25MOA groups with as many shots as I can make without goofing. Heating up doesn't seem to effect it much, nor is the first shot from a cold barrel significantly different.
To me that's the biggest plus to this barrel. It's consistent performance regardless of conditions. Obviously the ammo has to do its part, but the barrel seems to be one of the least picky I've used for ammo, weather and barrel temp.

I would definitely buy again, and recommend this or the coated one to anyone looking for a mid weight barrel.

Dear Schmidt upper build: only if you are building this yourself, it is a stupid question and you're probably in over your head. The fact that you're asking really demonstrates this. As a rule you check go/no go. Because you should. Your well-being depends on it. Even though we're dealing with superior quality hardware here, we all make mistakes. If you're not building this yourself, I hope this provided the answer and you learned something.
BUT: don't jerk around with an average rating for a good company with excellent service and an awesome product, just because you apparently lack some common sense and courtesy.

I made a purchase from BC for an upper build, shipping was good and all parts were there. I had a question ( do i need to have the headspace checked) and never have recieved an answer. Was that a stupid question,or don't they care after the sale?

I have one of these barrels installed in my rifle and I can't get over how well it shoots. I shot a 1.25", 20 shot group with it the other day and there is very little carbon or copper buildup when done shooting. Cleanup is easy and break-in was a snap. Very, very good barrel for the price.

Awesome barrel. Fantastic grouping. Cleans up nice and easy, what more could you want?

I haven't had a chance to shoot this yet as it just came in yesterday(thanks for the super fast shipping BC) but as soon as my build is done you can bet it will get lots of exercise. The finish on this barrel looks immaculate (inside and out) and being from BC I'm sure it will shoot as good as it looks
