Working on a build, thinking about trying one , they’re priced decent also, what ya think ?

I've only tried one of their complete barrels, but have made a number of others from their blanks in a bunch of different calibers. They've all been pretty good shooters, some surprisingly good. Most of them have shown very little copper fouling as well. I'll continue to use them.

I got one from Keystone Accuracy and it was an excellent shooter.

Don't they make BCM's barrels?

I dunno & have never used a GM barrel.

They might make the CM barrels for BCM, but I doubt they'd be making BCM's stainless barrels since BCM says those are 410SS & GM's stainless barrels are shown to be 416SS.

I put an Odin Works on and it’s real accurate. Thought it was priced well too

If your looking for accuracy there are several known quantities on the market, if your making a chrome lined barrel gun what about PSA? Don’t they sell FN chromed barrels?

I don't know if PSA's chrome lined barrels are FN or not, & while FN makes a very good product, I'd be a little concerned about accuracy, if you're looking for something to be <1 MOA.

The last FN built rifle I saw a while back was an 18" DMR rifle that they guaranteed to be 2 MOA................and that doesn't excite me much.

But for anything less than a "precision rifle", whatever that means to anyone, FN barrels are good.

I wouldn't screw with any PSA or even a DD chrome lined barrel if I was interested in a tack driver.
I have two PSA, FN made Chrome lined barrels. Both are tack drivers.
Also have an Odin which is another tack driver.

What's the definition of a "tack driver"?

I think a tack driver is a hammer. (I have shot at the thumb tacks holding the target, this one makes sense)

"Lights out" is a switch? Never quite got this one

If you looked at the chamber and bore with a borescope you would probably choose another brand but you never know what brands are made by the same big companies. One large company close to me makes barrels for Wilson Combat, YHM, Bison, and Model 1 sales and several others

Green Mtn makes several grades of barrels.

I've got a twenty inch 1x14 twist pencil barrel for shooting light bullets. I was pleasantly surprised at the groups I got with it.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

BCM's 410 stainless barrels are made by Criterion.
