Should I regret not getting a CHF barrel
So I bought a decent BCM upper during the 4 seconds that they were back in stock and I'm wondering If I should be kicking myself for not spending the extra money on the lightweight CHF version. The one I got is CMV. Is CHF really that much better? Should I be losing sleep or planning on buying a CHF barrel for it down the road? I really just plan on shooting this thing at the range but I'd like to know it will last a long time and function well.

No it's not that much better. Quit losing sleep and go shoot it. With either barrel it'll be a long time before you wear it out.
It would take more than $3K in ammo... at todays prices $10K in ammo, for you to wear out that barrel... the cost of the barrel is tiny in comparison. |

Yup. Don't sweat it. Without having both, you won't know what you're missing. Shoot and enjoy what you got. People sweat too much over the details. It's a tool not a fine watch.

I bought an older DD upper for my wife and was worried that I wasn't getting the best since the barrel is not CHF, but it shoots about an inch at 100 yards with my match handloads and since we can only shoot 10 rounds at a time, I don't think there is any way I would notice the difference.

The OP is worried about bragging rights. What if someone at the range has a CHF barrel? He would get laughed off the firing line.

He would have to surrender his rifle to the mercy of Internet scrutiny. Kind of like the guy that built a comparable AR to the Jack and some internet commando kept harping on him for being cost conscious.

ha, in the DD I get about an inch with the 69gr Sierra Match Kings and Varget, the 77gr Match Kings were closer to 2", I was surprised. (this was with an aimpoint pro) I hope they shoot better in my match rifle cause I loaded up 500 of them.
