Anyone know which parts kit is used in the BCM lowers. Thinking of picking up a lower from them, but want to know what to expect from the trigger. How is the trigger on a BCM rifle?
Alternative is a spikes lower in my hands for 90 bucks, and this lower build kit:

Have a bcm upper, so matching brands might be nice, but is it worth it?
bcm uses there own parts kit that they make. the lower your gonna have to decide on. spikes is nice but bcm is also nice. id give the edge to bcm, i heard from grant that the bcm lpk are really nice. but that deal you found is well worth the money. i just paid today for a daniel defense lpk and it cost me 81 bucks
I don’t think BCM ID’s the LPK that goes into their lowers but you can be assured it’s quality. Kinda looks like Stag but I’m just going by looks, and they sell Stag LPKs.
I’d say go with their lower so it matches your upper. Don’t forget BCM sells blemished complete lowers for $270.
Yes I tried emailing them earlier about this and they were evasive about telling me what parts they use:confused:
Quentin: Do you own a BCM? how do you like the trigger?
Not Stag, Paul sources directly from manufacturers that make parts to his specifications which is the TDP.
I have a BCM lower, and yes, the trigger is fine.
I’m guessing mutt-sources, similar to the G&R, DD, and some others out there.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some parts are CMT, while others come from elsewhere (LMT, colt OEM).
There is a fair bit of money involved in purchasing a statistically significant quantity of LPK parts in order to test them yourself, and then continue testing them to make sure they fall within a spec - so I think it’s justifiable that they’d keep the results of that to themselves, otherwise we’d all just bypass that system, and make those parts harder for Paul to source for complete builds.
My BCM trigger is acceptable - but still getting replaced with a GSSA I picked up from BCUSA anyway.
The best deal on BCM Lowers is with included LPKs, similar to how they were paying you to accept a charging handle with an upper.
Buy a BCM complete blemished lower for $250 and $9 shipping

The trigger in my BCM seems fine to me.
I have no advice on what parts are in the BCM lower, but definatly very happy with the blemished lower I got from G&R, have a local guy that did the transfer for 10 bucks, so under 300 shipped and transfered with stock was a great deal, still need to take pics of the “blemish” before I add some of my own.
What is the blem on your gun?
Nope SG, no BCM lowers here but lots of their other stuff. :laugh: I built up M&P-15 and ArmaLite stripped lowers.
I just got one in from G&R yesterday, and I still haven’t found the “blemish”.
Awesome.
i have a BCM lower that was black-t’ed, and i put a dab of NECO moly-slide on the trigger parts, that one is nice.
BCM won’t disclose who makes any (all) of the parts that go into their rifles…basically don’t worry about it because their good/to spec.
It’s not a Gissele, but I didn’t notice any difference from my issue/mil-spc Colt(s).
Alright thanks, just wanted to make sure I’d be happy with the lower. I’ll probably order a cosmetic lower from them now!
Another endorsement for the blemished BCM lower from G&R, and the trigger in my BCM lower is the best stock trigger that I own.
I thought that Colt and FN don’t disclose the TDP of the FCG in the M16A3/A4 and M4’s so any other vendor could not be Colt or FN TDP.
Officially, they don’t. However, it has leaked to various manufacturers.
Yeah my BCM lower trigger is smooth as a baby’s ass. Much nicer than my Noveske N4 rifle I bought!
