I think mine is balanced well, but it's not light by any means due to the barrel's heavier profile. I don't have the BCM, mine is a Colt unit.
Mine runs like a sewing machine with everything I've feed it. I have never shot, nor plan to shoot Tula or any other cheap steal cased ammo. Just my personal preference. |

I'm not really so concerned about weight as how well balances. Its good to hear they are good in that category. |

If you're anywhere near nw ohio, you can chech mine out sometime.
Good luck, I think you'll be quite pleased with the SOCOM barrel.

Do not step into the SOPMOD Block II thread. Your wallet will soon regret your decision.
But it is actually a good place to ask this question since the clone guys will have a lot of experience with that particular barrel. |

A 14.5" SOCOM barrel with DD RIS II rail and iron sights is a perfect balance....
with an Aimpoint T1 variant it is also Great. with a Eotech or Aimpoint red dot it is OK... With an ACOG or red dot and magnifier (other than T1 because it weighs so little) it will probably be a bit heavy.... a full on scope and/OR bipod.... and it turns into a PIG.....

Not BCM, but mine balances well and doesn't get very hot.

Mine (Colt 14.5" SOCOM) seems to be OK. I just got it, so don't have much experience with it yet. However, paired with a LMT SOPMOD stock, it does not strike me as being front heavy. I'm running a KAC RAS and FSB on it, so traditional M4 set up. I have yet to run it hard, but at this point it seems to be well-balanced.

Mine (Colt too) with batteries in the SOPMOD Stock balances well. Seemed to balance better with a longer rail (leverage is my guess) than with a shorter one.
