So BCA Branded 24" 6.5 Grendel Type II 416R Stainless Steel Straight Flutes AR-15 Complete Upper Assembly barrels are made in house? Are they as good as Odin barrels?

I haven't shot a BCA upper, but based on reports this far I'd say no. Odin Works barrels shoot very well for a rack grade barrel, usually holding up to their 1 moa standard.

Odin Works also comes with a SAAMI spec chamber, which seems to help digest and shoot many types of bullets well.

There seems to be some confusion as to what chamber style BCA is using.. some say they claim SAAMI, but a member here recently took a cast of the chamber and claimed it was the parallel Grendel II style.

I think BCA contracts out all there stuff and they assemble them before shipping.

Saw that. I'm wondering why there's such a discount. Is Bushnell releasing a updated version? Seems like this just hit the market within the last year.
