BCM 14.5

AR/M4 Custom Build Forum
1

Ive had this built for a while now, just now getting to posting it.

This is my first build, upper was assembled by Gun Gallery in Jacksonville, FL.
My initial goal was to put together an all around rifle and keep weight to a minimum.

Upper receiver:
BCM 14.5 BFH upper
KAC URX 3.1 rail
Battlecomp 1.5
BCM BCG
BCM Marked Troy BUIS
BCM ambi charging handle
Aimpoint Micro / Daniel Defense Micro mount / Tango Down iO Cover

Lower receiver:
BCM lower
BCM Mod 1 Grip
Geissele SD3G trigger
Battle Arms Development 45* selector
B5 Sopmod Bravo Stock
H2 buffer
IWC QD end plate

The combination of selector and trigger make this gun very fast and it shoots very flat.
My issued rifle is a Colt M4 with DD RIS II, and I think this rifle is better in just about every way.

Im very happy with the way it turned out, though now I’m kind of kicking myself for not waiting for the Geissele Mk4.

Just about, oh alright, it’s perfect.

Very nice 14.5! I am getting close to putting together a second AR, and this is almost identical to what I had in mind. I like your selection of components, quality stuff.

I want to do a 14.5 BCM bad. Need more money:)

7

i like it. what case is that?

8

But it looks so evil… and black… :cool: Nice setup. Nothing better than your own build!

the case is a pelican 1700. Its just large enough to fit everything I need for a trip to the range.

Here, Ive managed to fit 15 pmags, sling, cleaning kit with some tools, hands, eyes, and a couple itw fastmags.

This case is great for airline travel, but is a little heavy for everyday use. Setup as shown is around 45 lbs.

10

My solution to carrying around that heavy Pelican case:

Soft case is a Tacital Tailor covert carry single rifle 35" case. Fits inside the Pelican without an inch to spare.


Also holds four mags inside the zippered pocket.

Personally, I would rather have the URX 3.1 over an SMR Mk4.

12

Now I’m giving some pretty serious consideration to switching out the URX with a new BCM KMR once theyre out.

Weighing my options. It may be easier to try and sell the upper and then put together a new one with the BC being pinned and all…

13

Yea, the KMR is next on my list. That is, unless KAC releases a 14.5" with URX4 first.

If I were you, I’d get a whole new upper with the KMR and save yourself the hassle.

Very nice setup.

Thank you

Beauty!! hows the URX rail feel w/o the handgauard covers?

17

Thank you.

I don’t have any need for the rail covers. It does warm up, but it never gets unbearable. Even after 3 or 4 mag dumps. I’ve even been meaning to remove the heat shield just to save a little weight.

To me, the appeal of using this rail is it’s slim profile, so I don’t really want to bulk it up.

IMO, the RIS II feels like I’m holding a 4x4 in comparison.

Any idea the total weight of the urx in that length with barrel nut?
