Just took my BCM SOCOM out to the range and brought an ADM 13.9 Core for comparison. I did four rounds of 5 shot groups per ammo type. It did not like American Eagle or IMI 55gr. 69gr Fiocchi, 75gr PPU and 77gr IMI were all averaging 2ish moa with only a couple groups under 1moa, which isn’t great. Next I’m going to try a few match grade 68’s, 69’s and 77’s, hopefully with better results. So far i’m not impressed. My ADM did way better.
@@TacticalAccountants it came in a month ago. i’ve only made two trips to the range. Took ADM 14 weeks after ordering to deliver. It shoots most ammo between 62-69gr really well but everything outside of that is 1.5-2moa. The barrel is slimmer than I expected. It heats up fast. Still my favorite AR so far.
The accuracy you're getting from the BCM is acceptable. It's a fighting rifle. Now for the money, i understand expecting better. My DDV7 will shoot MOA all day. I get anywhere from .75 to 2MOA from it, depending on ammo. I also have a 2013 colt LE6920 and I just recently purchased a CR6920, with the 13629 cage code. I have to say, the Roscoe barrel is definitely an upgrade over the colt. My CR6920 will shoot 1.25 to 2MOA consistently, depending on ammo. The two BCM rifles I own are a regular M4 profile and a Recce16. Both rifles shoot about 2MOA. not the greatest accuracy, but I will trust them both with my life. I also recently purchased a BCA upper for 224, that came complete. I will admit, it shoots sub MOA consistently. I doubt it will last as long as my high end rifles, but I gotta say I was really surprised to see it shoot that good.
I agree that for what it is, the accuracy is fine. Although I haven’t been too impressed with my DD MK12. It’s an older one, but haven’t had it shoot sub moa really. I’m going to try some other loads soon and see how it is. Specifically some 69g SMKs and maybe see how Bergers do.
@@TacticalAccountants I usually run black hills ammo, when I want to test accuracy. I find it gives the most consistent accuracy. I usually run 77grn rounds through my 1/7 barrels as well. Although 69grn is pretty tight too.. To be honest, after owning two Larue rifles, I'm not impressed with other rifles accuracy. The Larue rifles shoot like bolt guns. They are consistently sub MOA.
Nice video.. Colt actually had nothing to do with SOCOM / M4A1 Profile barrel. Lady from Crane made the drawings for that barrel . Since Colt had the SOUL SOURCE contracts. Crane forwarded to Colts engineers. Colt also had nothing to with MK18 . The MK18 was done by Crane and LMT . Since Colt had the soul source Crane and LMT had give Colt the drawings . While they were waiting for those first CQBRs , Crane used left over M16A1 lowers and cut down M4 barrels to 10.3 and opened up gas ports to 0.70.. SCAR PROGRAM In 2004 ended up being flop because of that lady's drawings from Crane . Fn Makes their HF barrels.. Centurion SOCOM HF are insanely accurate as well.. BCM SOCON are not anywhere near as accurate . My best group with Colt SOCOM is 0.73 with 77g TMK and BCM SOCOM was 1.7 with 77g TMK. Centurion SOCOM HF 0.88 with 77g TMK..
Does Bcm make anything?Does Colt make anything anymore.I have a 2013 Colt m4a1socom with usgi 14.5 barrel.I have a EAG complete upper(filthy 14).Both will get the job done but does Bcm make anything.
@@kevinb1060 they're talking about his BCM ELW barrel. The elw comes either standard button chrome lined, or hammer forged chrome lined (also comes in fluted or non fluted)
FN america makes some of their barrels...idk what or how many. I have an FN socom 14.7 inch and its a tack driver. will shoot sub moa all day with an eotech on it
I have a bcm enhanced lightweight with a vortex pst2 on it...only like 300 rounds through it maybe but the accuracy at 100 yds isnt the greatest so far...ive hit 1.5 and 2 moa a few times but mostly its around 3-4 moa. is this normal? im honestly ok with it if it is but curious on others experiences with it
@@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595 ive used a ton of different. sieraa and barnes loads, federal, hornady, aguila, winchester. anything from 55-77 grains. ive gotten it decently zeroed to hit around 2 inches at 100. a couple times around 1.5. im honestly happy with that coming out of a 1-6 pst but i was wondering if I could get it to an inch...would probably need a higher mag scope.
@@rickypickles2219 1.5 moa out most duty grade ar15 chrome lined barrels is pretty standard(pretty standard for bcm barrels that is), along with 2-4 moa with surplus ball ammo is pretty standard as well. It's not great of course, but it's pretty average coming from the bcm elw barrels from what I've seen with others (i have a standard 14.5 elw that shoots right at 1-1/4 moa with good ammo, but won't go under moa). It's not supposed to be a marksman type barrel anyway so I'd be fine imo with that accuracy for its intended use. Is it the bfh elw or the standard button version. I've seen better accuracy come from the bfh ones tbh. Ps-..Also, unless you know yourself to be an accurate shot you might wanna try letting someone else group with it if you haven't already.
Alot of keybord gijoe,s talk smack about colt but colt has the best bang for the buck for as long as I've been on earth I'm 59,colt rocks and alot cheaper than bcm,DD ,and a few more .colt kicks ass when it counts no frewfrew u no no fruefu
I’ve had my LE6921 SOCOM for 5 years and about 5k rounds through the pipe. Still .89 moa since out the box. I have the O stamp under the barrel 2016.
What kind of ammo have you been using?
do you know what it means if there is an "I" under the barrel?
what ammo are you using to get sub moa groups?
Lol dudes really out here thinking they're doing sub moa.. watch some Hornady podcasts and do a 30 round shot group then report back
@@Parado1994 I’m sure my analysis is as accurate as my rifle. I have more guns than you have nose hairs. I know what I’m talkin about.
I have both barrels BCM SOCOM & COLT SOCOM, both are great shooters I like the colt better, friends that have shot both seem to like the BCM more

“Installed by a CPA” has to be worth at least -1 MOA
At least. But probably even more.

Depends on which 6920 you have, CR6920 or LE6920
Heck yes!
FN makes cold hammer forged barrels for BCM.
@John Smith Criterion doesn't make CHF barrels, so no they don't claim that.
I thought bcm made their own barrels.
