No one will be able to convince me my Satern/Liberty barrel is junk. It shoots right with my BA barrel. The 24" cut rifled barrel is listed as SAAMI spec, maybe that will appease the masses. I emailed BCM with that question and the reply was that all things equal due to the manufacturing process forged was stronger than billet but that billet receivers could be made stronger by leaving extra material on the upper. They then stated that they believed I would be satisfied using the M4 upper. I can and would use another upper to get the most from this barrel. Does the weight of 4" of barrel really make that much difference?
