Finally finished my 14.5" BCM LW

This is my first weapon ever with FDE furniture. Just waiting on a T1 to top it off. I bought it because my other ARs are SBRs and I needed something I could train with out of state. I was sick of the rails, the complexity, and everything else that went along with SBRs, suppressors, etc. I wanted something that was quick, light, yet didn’t sacrifice much. I think I accomplished what I was going for.

Today I took it to the range and zero’d the irons at 50 yards. It was brutally cold and windy. 47 degrees and sustained 15+ MPH winds. (I’m in South Florida - that’s really cold)

I love the new BCM comp. Absolutely no muzzle blast at all yet there is so little recoil and muzzle climb I felt like I could blast away mag after mag. Unfortunately due to ammo costs, I didn’t get to do that.

I had honestly forgotten how accurate and easy iron sights could be until today. Zeroing them was easy as cake and the gun was as accurate as a laser beam with them. It was so much fun shooting with irons that I might cancel my T1 order and just throw an LMT fixed rear sight on the weapon. My only gripe with irons is the lack of low light capability.

I think I shot the wrong target, but I didn’t care. I prefer brunettes.

Great build, I almost went with the LW 14.5 over the LW 16 inch myself. Very well thought out, and a micro is the perfect fit for such small light weigh package.

Nice build, but I still would have shot the zombie instead. Are those other rifles yours? if so, are you able to throw the cans on the new one with the BCM Comp? Again, sweet build dude.

If the Z’s hit, I won’t care what color hair they have because I’ll take any live one I can keep. Gotta releave all that stress some how.

Nice rifle and I like the simple/plain look with irons.

Nice looking rifle, I think the FDE looks great. I also like your idea on keeping the irons. Congrats on the new stick.

Thanks guys.

No, the other rifles have AAC muzzle devices. Since this rifle has a perm’d BCM comp, my AAC cans won’t work on it.
