What is the difference between the standard BCM midlength upper, and the BCM BFH midlength upper?
Is one more accurate than the other? Is it just a different way to make a barrel? school me on them. I am working on a SHTF style rifle, and and weighing the pros and cons of these uppers. |

I am working on a SHTF style rifle, and and weighing the pros and cons of these uppers. The BFH barrel is hammer forged. Yes it is a different way of making a barrel, hammer forging has been the European method while we typically use button rifled barrels. For instance, every AK that I can think of has a HF barrel. The selling points of HF on AR barrels is that they are more accurate and have a greater service life over a button rifled barrel. Whether this is true has yet to be proven, at least from what I have seen. |

Or are the arguments about AKs being inaccurate unfounded? Besides the barrel, are there any differences between the two upper assemblies listed above? |

AKs might be considered inaccurate because of the round (poor consistency and what not), loose tolerances built into the system, and the big & heavy piston slamming back and forth. Not really the barrels fault. Besides the HF barrel there is no other difference between the BFH and standard upper. |
