BCM. Well, the obvious question is "what do you want to do with the rifle?" I wouldn't hesitate to take the BCM and put the money you save towards ammo and training. |

If accuracy is a top priority, then go with the OBR. Otherwise they are both excellent.

Bit of a difference between the two. What do you want out of it?

This thread needs a poll.
I'd go with the OBR if cost is not an issue.

Since you are looking for a REECEish rifle I would go with the OBR.

you don't need a chrome lined bore with a Stainless barrel. |

Depends on what you want out of it. If you're looking for a tack driver, I'd go with the OBR. If money's an object, and you're not looking for world-class accuracy, go with the BCM. It'll likely be plenty accurate for whatever you've got in mind other that applications that might require sub-MOA match-type accuracy.

Totally different animals. What do you expect from it? What do you plan on doing with it?
You DO realize that the OBR has a stainless barrel, right? Stainless doesn't get chrome lined. |

Like several people said, it depends on how much that little bit of accuracy is worth to you. Personally, I'd go with the OBR.
However the BCM, I'm sure, is a pretty accurate rifle itself and you could have some money left over for extras....ammo, optics, whatever. Just gonna have to be a personal preference. |

This carbine is for serious tactical courses, a gtg, and needs to be hella reliable. Lots of rounds, going to be ran with a T-1 & mag, and a Leupy for longer range targets.

Well then I don't think either is the ideal choice. just my $0.02 ETA: If you must have a FF handguard: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-16-Mid-Length-LIGHT-WEIGHT-Upper-Receiver-p/bcm-urg-mid-16lw%20vtrx11.htm If you must have it asap: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-16-Mid-Length-Upper-Receiver-MI-p/bcm-urg-mid-16%20mi%20ss12.htm Obviously add a BCM or lower of your choice to either option. |

No need to even remotely worry about chrome-lining on a LaRue barrel. The stainless steel it's made out of is extremely durable. Mark put up a post about a guy that finally just started getting minor keyholing from one of his Stealth uppers after 60,000+ rounds! 60,000! And it kept its accuracy through the entire 60,000. Those same barrels are used in the OBR.
Originally Posted By LaRueTactical.com: Barrels: Unless you request bead-blasted stainless, our barrels arrive ION Bonded in black. Ion Bond coating is roughly 5-millionths of an inch thick and roughly 90 Rockwell in hardness (harder than hard-chrome). It won't chip, peel, corrode, and is heat-resistant to over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. LaRue Stealth Barrels are Wylde-chambered in 5.56mm, 1-in-8 twist polygonal rifling in medium-weight contour using LW-50 Stainless. In the late 1980's, it was realized that there were erosion and short barrel-life problems with 416 Stainless in the calibers operating at 65K psi. 410 Stainless also had issues. LW-50 became the answer. LW-50 lacks sulphur, which in high quantity, created short throat-life in other Stainless Steels. LW-50 can also be heat-treated to a point that makes it near-optimal in all forms of rifle barrels. LW-50 has been proven for over 15 years, in military and civilian uses ranging from sniper, tactical, target, and other high-performance applications where long life and accuracy are critical. I would never hesitate to get a LaRue upper or entire rifle if you can afford it. Only reason I don't have one of them is that they're expensive and I spend too much money on accessories for my other rifles.  |

Comparing apples and oranges. A more even comparison would be between the Larue OBR and a BCM built around an SS410 barrel. I didn't get a guarantee, but mine is a sub MOA shooter for five shot groups.
