New BCM Lightweight 14.5" Middy Build

Hello,

This is my 3rd rifle build. This time around I wanted to test out the BCM 14.5" lightweight barrel with mid-length gas system.

All of the parts are on order. I will post pictures when I get it all assembled next week.

BCM 14.5" mid-length upper receiver with lightweight barrel
FSC556 Tactical Compensator
Centurion Arms C4 9" free float rails
Magpul XTM rail covers (black/fde mix)
Magpul AFG2 (fde)
BCM lower receiver
Magpul MOE grip (fde)
Magpul UBR Buttstock (fde)
Magpul rear BUIS (black)
Gear Sector single point sling w/ qd attachment
Sightmark Sure Shot Reflex Sight (temporary until I can afford the Aimpoint T1)

Where did you find the BCM middy in stock?

As of right now it is still in stock:

BCM put them back on last night.

Looks good. The balance will be tail-heavy with the UBR though. I have a 14.5" LW with a DD 12 FSPM rail, G2 led light, Magpul RVG and gear sector sling mount with just an MOE stock, it balances at the front of the mag well.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but if I was you, I would omit the UBR and FF rails and cheap optic, and put the money you save towards a quality optic.

Yeah I really like the UBR stock, but it is expensive. I like how solid it locks into the 6 positions with no wiggle, cheek rest is wide and comfortable, qd attachment point is in the perfect spot. I will see how the weight balances out. I can always sell the UBR and get a CTR.

Yeah I have already ordered all of the parts, but if I had to do it over again, I should have went with magpul handguards, CTR stock, and got the Aimpoint T-1. I feel like these guns are like supping up your car, you always want to do more.

Just don’t be a “ricer”.

As long as it’s based on actual use and discovered need or shortcoming in the existing configuration, change and experimentation is good. Better is better, different isn’t better. Change for the sake of change… well…
:suicide2:

…and got the Aimpoint T-1
My 2nd AR is still just wearing the BUIS. I can’t afford the optic I want yet and I’m not gonna buy twice (a less expensive followed by the one I really want). The irons are serviceable until then.

Yeah good old plastic i mean iron sights will have to do for now.

I just got all of the parts delivered and will be taking to Virgina Arms this weekend to get the hand guards installed.

Got any pics? :slight_smile:

Finally got everything put together.

That is a very nice looking build. Any idea how much the upper and complete rifle weights?
