What barrel are they using in these?  Are they hammer forged?

Are you looking at the uppers on their site or something else?  The uppers list what barrel they have.  Regular chrome lined, hammer forged and stainless are options.

I'll throw a link to what I am looking at.  I already have a 14.5" BCM upper with a kmr but I'd like to go 16" just to have one.  My 14.5" is the lightweight and you are right you get a bunch of options when buying just an upper but this is a complete rifle and I can't seem to find out the specifics.

Doesn't look like it's hammer forged, it looks to be the standard chrome lined barrel.  They'd list hammer forged if it was.

This is good news in a way.  It gives me an excuse to buy a 16" bfh elw upper and put it on a balios light lower
