Specifically the SS barrel used in your MK12 Mod0 uppers, who makes the barrel? I'm considering purchasing one off your website or building one and depending on your answer is the way I'll go. So please if anyone knows who makes the SS barrels? Thanks

you'll never get a definate answer. this has been asked many times and some say sabre, but they're out of business now i think. i had a ss410 upper and loved it. just get one if it's what you want and shoot it.

Why such secrecy if it's made by a quality barrel maker?

I have no idea. I know they shoot well though.

Just buy one. Bcm has the best makers out there rolling their barrels!

Not Krieger, not Noveske. If they have the best why not post an answer?

I agree. Nothing but positive reviews on BCM's website about these barrels. I wouldn't get all wrapped around the axle about which shop produced the barrel, only that it shot lights out on my gun.

Curious, but what's the estimated barrel life on the BCM SS410? I have been using a SS 416 barrel on another of my ARs and like the results. I'm torn between going the 16" SS410 or the CHF 14.5 medium contour barrel from BCM for my next build.
