AR15Discounts.com appears to have the 20 inch 308 CHF Bear Creek Arsenal (I know) barrels under their house "NBS" Label (I said, I know!). Normally they sell them for about $119.99. BCA lists them for $399.99 (lol)

Well, right now they have an OVERSTOCK20 coupon making the damned thing $96. Shipping is $8.99 and they didn't charge me tax.

I've spent the last year telling myself I didn't need a 308 and the last 2 or 3 years convincing myself building an AR10 would be a bigger headache than I need.

Oh, well.

At least I know you'll all be here when I try building this out 2 years from now and I post an "AR10 Build Malfunction Troubleshooting" thread 🤣🤣

I’d genuinely like to hear how it shoots. People I know well that have rolled the BCA dice are happy with the results - their expectations were modest, price was excellent, and BCA delivered.

It really will be a while before I build this out. I've seen plenty of good and bad from BCA.

I also purchased a CHF 20 inch 556 and CHF 16 inch 7.62x39 barrel made by them with a very similar deal. I have the 7.62x39 barrel mostly built out. It's not a priority to finish, but when you have parts laying around...
 
I would like to see some bore scope pics... if you have a bore scope.

And pics of any barrel markings.

I might order one just for sh_ts and giggles. and assm. it with inexpensive parts.

Measuring various points, gas port size , barrel extension size... easy stuff.

I have wasted money on other fool hearted things.... just out of curiosity.

I would really like to see how "bad" this barrel could be. Lol

I posted this for anyone else wanting to roll the dice.

Beats putting $ towards your kid's college indoctrination.
