I want to order a BCM upper and have read as much as I can but i need a little help deciding.
What is the difference between
BCM Standard 16" Mid Length (ENHANCED Light Weight) Upper Receiver Group w/ BCM KMR 15" Handguard
and
BCM BFH 16" Mid Length (Light Weight) Upper Receiver Group w/ BCM KMR 15" Handguard
Is it only the hammer forged barrel? Is this worth the extra cost? What is the enhanced lightweight difference as I don't see weights provided? Lastly, will they come out with ELW hammer forged barrels?
I know I want a 16" barrel with a 15" handguard and after looking at DD offerings I have decided to go with BCM. I appreciate any assistance you could provide.
Thanks!
