BCM 14.5 LW carbine

AR/M4 Custom Build Forum

Just put this together:
BCM LW 14.5 mid length upper
Centurion arms BCG
Troy fixed rear sight
Seekins precision lower
Palmetto LPK
UCWRG grip 23
Carbine RE w/ H buffer
B5 bravo stock
SOB sling (not pictured)

Put 350 rounds through it last night. No problems with M855, PMC bronze, tula. Tried it on my A5H2 lower and it wouldn’t lock back on empty with the weaker ammo but no jams. I’ll try it with the A5H1 &0 buffers eventually but I am happy with it with just the regular H buffer. Noticeably softer than my 16 carbine upper.
Picking up an Aimpoint PRO tomorrow for it.

That is a very utilitarian, all business rifle. I like it alot.
I also think that the Aimpoint PRO is a great choice for it as well. I am one of the very few who (slightly) prefer the PRO to the Micro series.

Thank you. My first rifle was a 16" with a 12" rail and a bunch of BS that I didn’t need. I learned a lot since then and built this to reflect that.
I will also be picking up a light tomorrow and that should round out this carbine.
I would love a micro, honesty, but I can’t justify the cost difference. I would rather spend the cash on ammo & training.

Update:
Put on a Streamlight trl-1 and an Aimpoint PRO and SOB sling.
I put 500 rounds of tula through it this weekend with no problems. It locks back with H-buffer and a standard spring. I will pick up a Sprinco white spring for it soon and maybe later try some lighter weights with my A5 lower on it.

I also want to try a Magpul K2 and see if I like it better than the Umbrella Corp.

6

That’s what I was curious about, if you liked the Umbrella Corp grip or not. I’ve been wanting to try one of the BCM grips.

I like the Umbrella grip, but I am always on the lookout for improvements that can be made.

Painted er up 2 nights ago, nothing fancy just something to blend it in a little better.

13

Also replaced the troy fixed rear sight with a magpul mbus that i had laying around. I found I liked it out of the way better.

14

That’s a great build. I have that exact rifle sitting in my safe right now, minus the handguard. Going on 3 weeks waiting for the MOE Midlength! Wtf…

15

Very cool setup. How do you like the light? I’m running the standard TLR-1 w/ strobe. Any idea how yours compares?

16

Thanks! Did you order one or can’t find one?

17

Thank you! I like the light a lot and I liked that it came with the pressure switch.
I actually compared both models side by side and the HP had a much tighter beam at range.

18

Ordered it from Impact Weapons Components. Almost 4 weeks now…

19

That sucks man, they are in stock locally to me, so if you hadn’t been able to find one I would totally pick one up and send it to you.

Looks really nice! The brown truck just dropped off my 14.5LW middy a couple of hours ago. Can’t wait to shoot it tomorrow.
