I can't speak to the BCM barrel, but I have the 11.5" Stag LE upper on one of my SBRs. It runs like a champ, although I only have about 1000 rnds through it. I would say it's a good buy. Accuracy with LC XM193 or 855 seems to be about 2.5 moa from a supported position.
I don't think you'll go wrong with either barrel. Good luck. FB |

Are you talking 2.5 MOA at 100 yards/meters? I don't know that I've pushed my 11.5" BCM out to 100 yards seriously yet. The indoor range I sometimes frequent only goes to 100 yards, and I usually shoot at 25-50. Every now and then I'll push it out to 75, but I'm never satisfied with my performance. I have a feeling that has more to do with me than the barrel. Lately, I've been standing up when I shoot - unsupported.
I guess one can't really expect precision from an 11.5" barrel, but it puts rounds on paper at any distance so I guess that's acceptable. I've put probably only half as many rounds through mine as you've put through yours. |

If you're happy with the bcm you currently have I would think $20 would be worth getting something you know and like.. FWIW I have a 11.5" bcm and its always done everything I've asked of it. |

I like BCM, I own 2, but I wouldn't have any problems with the Stag with it being 4150 and 1/7.

Honestly, at this point, which one is in-stock? Barrel market is cleared out right now.
I'm sure that Stag can build a good barrel. Everything that I've seen in their new LEO line is pretty nice. Always have had good experience with stag. However, BCM has a reputation, and in particular, a reputation for excellent SBR reliability. I'd save a few bucks for the BCM unless you gotta have it now.

I'd like to get it out with better ammo. The results I got were with surplus ammo and a T1 and shot off a range bag. Another option is the DD CHF 10.25" It the most accurate of the short barrels I've shot. FB |

BCM is normally $229 plus shipping but is out of stock. Stag is in stock and local for $199 plus sales tax. The DD barrel is online at ADCO and available right now. I'm in no particular hurry and for the price being so close I will probably wait out the BCM. There really needs to be a significant discount on the Stag over the BCM for me to move on it. I was just curious and maybe feeling a little impulsive.

The DD is available in both 11.5" and 10.3" lengths. I built the last pistol with a 11.5" barrel and am inclined to do the same with this one. DD's price is about $30 less than the BCM BFH model.

I keep looking to see when the standard will be back in stock which isn't a good thing because I don't have any money for it right now. I just splurged on a rail for the build, but the barrel and a muzzle device are the last two components I need and then off to GDS! |

Snagged a brand new, unfired BCM 11.5" BFH barrel the other day.It should be here by Tuesday! I've also got an AAC FH on the way, too. It should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. This could mean that I drop off all the parts at GDS on Thursday which of course means that I could be picking up an assembled upper this Friday!!!
I'm going to go ahead and order some LaRue Tactical index clips & handstops in OD green on Monday. My pistol could be complete by this weekend!
