Just to clarify, your BCM is also a 16 CAR? That case, I would look at keeping the one you like best and selling the other along with you Colt. Then I’d get either the Centurion Arms 16 LW midlength or BCM 14.5 Midlength, and a Centurion 12.5 CAR.
I had sold it off years ago to buy something else. Bad mistake.
I’ve been out of the US so flipping long (On and off since 2006) that I am currently out of AR type carbines. I’ve sold/given away all my crappy carbines, so I am in the process of ordering the parts to my only AR carbine.
I already own a Seekins billet lower, and picked up one of the Palmetto Armory $150 lower kits.
For the upper, what I’d really want is a quality hammer-forged pencil barrel mid-length. BCM for everything but the barrel. Haven’t decided on barrel brand, yet.
Fixed BUIS and Aimpoint T1 w/MOE all around. I’ll slap one of my G2s on it for a light.
LMT lower with Geissele trigger. Noveske N4 upper or something very similar like BCM offers (Daniel Defense or Troy Industries rail - toss up but leaning towards Troy). Battle Comp muzzle brake.
Troy BUIS, ACOG TA30, S&B Short Dot, Leupold Mk IV 1.5-5x or Aimpoint M4. SureFire Scout Light. MIAD pistol grip with bolt and firing pin core. Stubby front vertical grip filled with extractor assemblies. Sling of your choice.
Call it a day.
Yeah, I’d like a palette of these.
only one complete from the mfg ar platform? Kac sr15e3.
I would go with what I have now.
14.5 BCM mid. with Larue 12" and fixed BUIS. BCM BCG, and Vltor IMOD.
Its the culmination of 9 AR’s that ranged from too heavy, too much glam, crappy parts., carbine gas… etc… I am an AR accessories manufacturers wet dream. I dont know if something will work for me until I buy it and try it out; so needless to say I have lots of stuff. Ive got what I wanted all along, light weight, durable, well made; I just didnt know it until this site schooled me. (Thanks members of M4) Yes, I ate the acid on the mid-length gas; I noticed a big diff so I went all out with them, not a carbine left in the safe.
Sticking with what I have now.
LMT Lower with Geisselle SSA trigger. BCM 14.5 Middy complete upper with PWS556, Troy rails, BUIS, and stubby VFG, Ergo grip, UBR, Eotech 553, VCAS sling.
I think I would go with a BCM.
They are a 20 minute drive from me and I like to support the local guys.
Wish I was 20 minutes away.:sad:
There’s no store front.
In SE Wisconsin, we order online like the rest of the country.
If I order in the morning before work, I usually get it in the next day’s mail.
