I have use 4 of Bear Creeks barrels, I can damn near put every round so far thru the same hole with the 6.5 Grendel. The 3 x 7.62x39 barrels are all sub moa. No hickups, not ever one.
Can someone please explain to me on how to get a response from this company?!? I've emailed and called many times but can't even get a "f!@# off" response from them!!! This is ridiculous!!!
Really hope you can expand the length and calibers you offer in the CHF barrels soon. I nabbed one of the earlier offerings and have been very pleased with it so far, do wish I had waited a little longer for you to start offering the 1:8 twist, but I have had no issues with the 1:7.
Turbocam's TX4 surface treatment is beating out melonite QPQ for wear resistance - I'm getting it on my AR barrels. It's good for cut, button, or CHF barrels. Easy decision!
@BearCreekAR I purchased the BC-15 AR .300blk out rifle. Tried shooting subs through it, and it hung up ever round shot through the 30 round magazine using sub sonic rounds. I called 6 or 7 times, and left messages with there customer service line. They will not answer there phone or return calls. I figure all I need is a lighter spring so it will properly eject the casings. Expect No service after the purchase for Bear Creek Arsenal.
Don't know if you ever heard back from them but instead of messing with different buffers another way to easily make a 300 blackout run not only supersonic but also subsonics if it doesn't want to fully cycle a new round or eject spent is an adjustable gas block
The button is Carbide, Not carbine, (Carbine is a short rifle), . Hammer forging does not rearrange the molecules. Unless you hit it with a Nuke. It does however realign the grain structure of the steel. Same as in Knife Making. Rearranging the Molecular structure was a myth that persisted for years t suggest that a forged blade was superior to a stock removal blade. It is fully disproven.

So is cold hammer forged barrels therefore strengthens toughness, and therefore tempers the metal (I think that’s what he said in video). Does this mean that the tensile strength increases overall. This could imply that cold hammer forged barrels should have longer life but become unstable or drift accuracy as they warm up. Perhaps button rifling work hardens the surface of the rifling as the grooves are cut and now left with a balance transition from high tensile to more ductile steel deeper in the metal underneath the rifling. I have no idea which method is best. I do like the smooth perfection of cold hammer forged.
Why is it so hard to find information on hammer forging machines I've been trying and trying to figure out what type of hammer forging machines gun companies use to rifle barrels I'd like to start my own gun company rifling is one of the most difficult processes of making a gun so idk why it's so hard to find this information
Its just work hardening the metal its not tempering anything. frankly if they just heat treated the steel it might work even better at least untill the barrel got so hot that it would lose the temper but by that point thermal warping will have caused loss in accuracy
You got that right brother! My nephews 450 bushmaster was/is so damn tight I never did get it off . You can only twist so much b4 something breaks and I didn't feel like shearing off the lugs on a brand new barrel. Unfrickinbelieveable!!!
@@silvergrizzly316 when the vise broke I tried heat and still didn't get anywhere finally gave up rather than breaking the whole upper just to change a dust cover and paint it another color
So let's talk about rifling. I want a BCA10, but I'm an old cast bullet guy. I make my own lead, tin, nickle slugs and they work great with cut rifling. CHF barreled means polygonal rifling most of the time, and that means no lead because the hills and valleys aren't deep enough to spin and stabilize the bullets going down the bore. They end up shooting lead like a smooth bore and getting tighter from lead deposits which drives up pressure to potentially dangerous levels (like the old exploding glocks.) So what I want to know is : can I get cut rifling? What is the difference in thousandths of an inch between your lands and grooves? CHF is great, but it limits my ammunition choices. That limitsmy decisionto purchase. And, in a shtf apocalypse situation, lead may be all you can find....
That is true if you’re not already dealing very high quality barrel material… you cannot improve something that is already beautifully beautifully foraged from great material… I find the button process gleans more accurate barrels
Your BC15 straight fluted barrel versus spiral fluted, neither mention much about the barrel. Can you tell me more about the barrels, and why one is rated with a much higher MOA and price? Barrel material? Cold forging? Or something else?
I have looked down the barrel of an Bear Creek AR10 with the 20th stainless steel barrel I don't see no rifling in the barrel I've seen him in the grands in 14's AKSK s's room is in 300 windbacks I don't see one in the Bear Creek AR1020 inch barrel stainless steel where's the rifling at it looks like inside of a pipe no rifling
Depends more on the surface treatment inside. If it is chrome lined or nitrited the surface is so hard compered to projectile that chances of lapping the bore are almost zero.
