Want to get a Mk 12 clone.
Which would be better - a BCM made one or a PRI?
BCM: https://www.bravocompanymfg.com/specification/bcm_mk12_moda5_fde.php
The PRI has a Douglas barrel like the MK12 that was issued. So, if you were going for a clone that one would be the best choice.
I’d go PRI, or Centurion Arms.
PRI no question
I was all aboard the BCM train back in 2012 but honestly I’ve moved on from them and don’t really consider their parts anymore.
Of those two, PRI by a landslide.
I have to agree with the above comments. There was a time where BCM ‘was the only alternative to colt for good parts’, that was 10 years ago. There parts really don’t interest me now. I have two of their over gassed barrels. And few of their rails, the rails are not the worst, but not the best either. The charging handles sucked and I’ve replaced them all with Geissele or raptors.
Idk what barrel the PRI uses but for a “MK12” the pri is closer to the real thing.
Also my impression is Monty at centurion arms gets real mk12 barrels. Maybe pri uses these too?
The original CH or the newer design?

Yeah… That’s what I thought question was? Charging handle. I don’t the PRI charging handle but that’s just personal preference.
I’m still puzzled by this recent BCM bashing. I know there’s a few trolls here that make ridiculous claims, but are there real issues or is it just the classic gun forum echo chamber?
Newer design sucks. The Vltor gunfighter one they used to have was great. You can still get them, just not through BCM.
Gun forum echo chamber BS in my opinion. BCM is just not the latest whiz bang, gee whiz product that all the cool kids are buying anymore. Kinda like how everybody started shitting on Larue QD mounts after saying they were the best thing since sliced bread a couple years before that. I still have my Larue QD for my T1, unmount it, toss it down range, pick it up, re mount it, still holds zero. My BCM stuff still works just as good as it ever did too. Even if a lot of people believe it’s crap now. The only thing I hate from them is that new charging handle.
All that being said, I would go with the PRI just for the fact that it uses the original barrel.
Stay away from the BCM version. Accuracy isn’t guerreteed. They won’t back it.
No trolling here. I’m simply not impressed by their offerings anymore.
Better selections of barrels out there that are cheaper
Better selections of rails out there
Better charging handles out there
I don’t really know anything they have that isn’t better somewhere else. And they aren’t cheap so why would I want to continue to be loyal to a company like that?
2012ish they were pushing the “Sig Legion” feeling hard on the Internet and if you didn’t use them you weren’t cool. I fell into the trap, I’ll admit it. We all have moved on though…
I love the new design. The old one pinched my finger. Why don’t you like it?
Agreed on both.
I won’t disagree on there being better options but I don’t know about those being at the same price point nor held to the same standard of QA/QC.
Agreed. They don’t have an accuracy Guarantee. I feel I have shitty customer service to
Trolls? Because they don’t agree with you? BCM isn’t that good. Accuracy issues. Personally experience and they don’t back up their product.
Sig Legion is a pretty solid pistol. What have people moved on from? I have one. It’s a solid pistol. Can you elaborate on your claims? Thanks

Bravo Company was a fad…
I would lump them with PSA…Only more expensive…And less innovative.
Your claims were completely discredited here not that long ago from what I remember.
And now I’ll lump you in with the stupidest gun owners in America. Saying there are better options is one thing, saying they’re in the same league as PSA is beyond laughable. Would love to hear your reasons for this.
Talk about a thread derailment. When people get this goofy, I have to wonder if they are getting paid.
On a side note, if you are talking about a MK12, Monty does the version with the KAC rail. HOWEVER, he sells the barrels in 18", 16", and evidently custom runs of 12.5" (not sure if the 12.5" is a continually stocked item).
As far as BCM being expensive, some of you are smoking crack if you think the MK12 is a poor mans game.
I like the option of having Centurion Arms build it. They are out of stock at the moment. Would you happen to know if Monty would build a PRI-style MK12 Mod H with the 1:8" barrel?
