14.5in Colt SOCOM vs. BCM ELW Barrel - Accuracy Test

We compare accuracy between the SOCOM Colt 14.5in barrel and the ELW BCM 14.5in.

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.

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

[NotYourFriendPal]

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.

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.

Was this the hammer forged BCM or standard?

“Installed by a CPA” has to be worth at least -1 MOA

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.

Depends on which 6920 you have, CR6920 or LE6920

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..

Good video man. I think I'm doing a SOCOM Block II here soon.

People to jump all over u if u claim its hard for a no freefloated ar of any brand. Doesnt do 1 moa with m193 or wolf

[bigmike]

FN makes cold hammer forged barrels for BCM.

[JCRS-]

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

[JCRS-]

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

[imperialfam]

The barrel is the difference you’re not comparing apples to apples

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
