The DD that I have is a great gun, the MK18. The DD does have a hammer forged barrel.

Not all BCM's do. The DD's are over gassed, at least mine is. I think it's a reliably thing, but that's a guess and I can't prove it. I also have 2 BCM rifles. I love everything about them.

I have the MK12, and one I built using a ELW fluted barrel. Great in every way for me.One other thing; I can't stand DD's new furniture. It is absolutely personal preference, but I like the BCM stuff fine.Agree with the above posters about both being top tier, pro grade rifles. Much will come down to personal preference. No bad choice here.

Bcm Recce 16 Review

I’m interested in a new rifle – I’ve read a ton of reviews and now I’m worse off than before I started.I want a 16” mid-length free float ar and:. Reliability/durability – most important by a longshot. Accuracy – important.

Weight – slightly less important. Price – will pay a bit more to not sacrifice reliability. $1000 -1400 base rifle w/o optics. Prefer longer rail for buis -but meh.I plan to use it for plinking/HD/heirloom/maybe varmint.How do these these rifles compare in value?How the components barrels/receivers compare Reliability & Accuracy?How the free float handguards compare in durability?Thanks,Browning. Of the three, I would eliminate the Colt. The FN and the BCM are better products and very close in comparison. If you can find the BCM in stock, it is the better buy for the money, but if price is not an object, I would jump on the FN.As far as the answers to these questions,How do these these rifles compare in value?How the components barrels/receivers compare Reliability & Accuracy?How the free float handguards compare in durability?That remains to be seen, since the only real way to answer them is to do a side by side comparison.

I would say, value wise, the FN and BCM are the better values. The Colt is a Colt by name only. Colt has these made offsite and they are being marketed by TALO Distributors and that is why it is listed at $1200. It is over priced for what it is. I will say this, FN and BCM do not make junk.

You will get what you pay for and not just a name. When it comes to receivers, most all forged aluminum receivers are equal. THey are made from 7075-T6 aluminum and have similar finishes. Barrel wise, FN and BCM are known for producing some fantastic performing barrels.

FN has been in the barrel business for decades. I will add that all of the free-float handguards on all of the models are of good quality and should prove to be quite durable.Ultimately, the decision is yours, but as I said in initial statement, I would eliminate the Colt.

I thought he was maybe just marketing then but since you say the same thing about Colt, maybe I'll listen to him more. Of the three, I would eliminate the Colt.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses - sad to know about the colt. I'll drop it from the running.Also, is the FN 3 prong brake removable? How about suppressors, how reliable would they run on the FN and BCM? Would an adjustable low-pro gas block need to be installed on to either? Of those three, BCM gets my vote, not that there's anything wrong with FN.

They make great stuff.To confuse you more, have you considered a Daniel Defense?As to DD, I've held a in hand at the local PSA branch, looks great, feels great - but thought the 4 bolt attachment for the free float handguard looked like a weak point - then I watched Rob @ AKOU have problems with the DDm4 v11 LW (spring, f2f, and rail issues). So, that hurt it in the running and is why I didn't mention it.The FN looks like it uses the wedge lock from Hodge defense/Megaarms handguard, which looks solid. By looks the BCM looks like a little weaker friction system compared to the FN, but looks less likely to rotate than DD. The deal with Colt is they sat back on fat military contracts and didn't innovate past milspec, everyone else took milspec as bare minimal standards and pushed the platform to better standards.BCM and DD are prime examples of this.Milspec isn't always the end all of quality it's just a set of standards for government use.I own a Colt but never hesitate to use better parts on it.The most important thing to me is hell and back reliability, but if I can get accuracy, low weight, and comfort - its nice too. If their is any other reliable high quality options that fall within my criteria (and budget) that I'm missing - feel free let me know too.Thanks again,Browning. Thanks good to know,I think I watched the Vickers video back two years ago, but it seemed imprecise - that is, he show a gun being abused, but not checking the precision or disassembling to check components and type of damage sustained.

Also, he states in the video he is a paid consultant for DD - which I appreciate his honesty. But at the same time, unfortunately, it hurts the creditably of the test by him being on the company payroll.Fast-Forward to October 2016:AKOU (AK Operators Union) does very thorough 5000 round test on guns; mostly AKs and some ARs (most guns fail their tests).

They ran the DDm4 v11 LW against a Vepr AK. Then individually they did a 5000 rd test on the DD.

They had several stoppages due to a spring in the trigger group malfunctioning. Then in the 6 foot drop test on to frozen dirt, the rail shifted. Then after apparently talking with the company and following instructions - a few 1000 rounds later it shifted again in a 6 ft drop test.

Otherwise the rifle ran well.relevant videos:Interestingly, the PSA 'Freedom' AR ran 5000 rds flawlessly.-Browning Edited February 21, 2017 by Browning.
