Pick an 18" upper for me
Posted on 7/5/14 at 11:16 pm

I have a basic Anderson manufacturing lower, DD LPK, and a 4-12x40 Nikon scope. I need an upper for all of that to go on.
Or this 4th choice- BCM

DD option 3 would be the way to go imho. Love the CHF barrels and their new DDMK12 SPR is absolutely amazing.

I'd get which ever one is the lightest.
Has anyone used the DD 18" barrel yet, curious to see how it stacks up against a good stainless barrel.

I think I'm a bigger fan of the BCM. Watch the rail sizes and weights, the 18in is already pretty heavy, rail space is a way to cut down on it.

I've never owned a stainless barrel...what are the main differences than a normal CHF barrel?
Posted on 7/6/14 at 1:43 pm to TigerTatorTots
Without getting a ton into it.
SS is more accurate.
CHF will last longer.

Yes. If you wanted to just buy seperate stuff, I would go SS on the barrel. Shilen makes some awesome heavy contour barrels with just polished SS.

12x scope? Seems like you want a heavy barrel.

This.
Stick with a tubular hand guard that doesn't have permanent rail space. You surely won't be using all of it if the upper is already 18 inches long.

So which of those 4 do you suggest based upon your suggestion, being that none list the weights 
Posted on 7/6/14 at 9:40 pm to TigerTatorTots
That BCM looks like it has the keymod system, should be lighter than the other quad rails.
Posted on 7/6/14 at 9:44 pm to TigerTatorTots
MK4 rail - 12.8oz installed
DD Lite 12.0 - 13.9oz
DD Lite 10.0 - 11.5oz
DD Lite 12.0 - 13.9oz
DD Lite 10.0 - 11.5oz
Posted on 7/7/14 at 4:59 am to TigerTatorTots
I believe the KMR's are like 7oz including the barrel nut
Posted on 7/7/14 at 10:09 am to burgeman
Looks like BCM is the route I will go. Costs come out pretty evenly since its $750 vs $850 but the BCM at $750 doesn't include a BCG and CH

Just pulled the trigger on that BCM 18" upper w/ 13"KMR rail and SS barrel. Also got a BCM charging handle with it
Now I need to build this thing damn lower

It only takes like 45 minutes if you are slow. Just do it already.

Putting together shite like this, something ALWAYS goes wrong...then it turns into a couple hour affair
