I'm just curious how many people jumped on the free BCG/comp deals and what you got. I'm really liking my 14.5" fluted ELW w/13" KMR.
ETA: The muzzle device had speared the bottle of lube they include and cut a perfect circle out of the plastic bottle. My upper arrived WELL lubricated. Thanks UPS. |
|
Only 1 so far, the other upper I want keeps going out of stock before I can order it.
|

Two, neither of which were intended. I was waiting for a BFH 14.5" ELW fluted/13" KMR and picked up the standard, plus I needed a barrel/BCG for a beater and ended up buying a 14.5" M4 w/ Mod 1.
|
|
Just one. I wish I could afford a few more. Here is my 14.5" ELW fluted 10" KMR upper

Impressions on the KMR?
This will be my 1st BCM KMR but not my 1st Key Mod.
|

Holding out for the BFH ELW-F's in 14.5 16 & 18" (if they make an 18" that is)
....and no I don't no nuffin' about no 18" being made just heard a rumor of a rumor... |
|
Just one, but I wanted to pick up a 11.5" while I was at it. 14.5" carbine with pinned FH... she sure is perty. :)

It is lightweight of course but I actually like the profile and it seems surprisingly sturdy for as light as it is. I wanted a plain forend that *might* get a light a 12 o'clock, if that much. I think I'm going to be very happy with the KMR and I'm really digging the ELW profile. Barring durability issues with the KMR that I can't speak to either way yet I think they have a winner on their hands, especially paired with their fluted or plain enhanced lightweight profile barrels. I feel that it was worth the money. |

For a home defense rifle the whole family can enjoy the ELW-F KMR series is a real winner....
It's thin...it's light wt....has a serious lock up....& backed by a first rate company.... I have lost interest in all other hand guards. |
|
In all seriousness I bought two right before the promotion the bought a KMR gun and about to order another tonight.
|
|
|
I'd order one if the non-railed kino uppers were back in stock.
|

Just 1. 16" ELW with a 13" KMR.
It's a bit over a lb lighter than my 16" BFH with a 9" LaRue rail. I got tired of lugging it around, so as soon as I get muzzle devices swapped (need my AAC can mount on the new upper), I'm selling off the old one. I might need to sell my ACS too because my rifle feels ass heavy now
|
|
waiting for the 18" with the 15" KMR rail to come in. hope the sale lasts before that's back in stock!
|

Im really liking the 14.5" ELW with a 13" KMR and the 11.5" with the 10"KMR
|

I had a friend looking to buy or build an AR and I took him some uppers to look at last night. It's the first time I've really handled my 14.5 fluted ELW w/ 13" KMR upper (waiting for funds to finish the build) and I was surprised at how it compared to my 16 LW BCM upper. Talk about light! The 16" LW has always been a light and handy carbine but those ELW uppers are something else. The balance was great too, if it shoots like it handles I may be spoiled.

I had to jump on an 18" ss410 with the 13" KMR. You don't just pass up a free BCG

What's the shipping time been like for you guys? I plan on ordering one next week...

Same or next day depending on when you order. Bingo. Shipping on my stuff was 2 or 3 days delivered, from order. |

Already have a 14,5 ELW-F, picked up a 16" ELW-F for my dad's carbine. Which is bonus, because I can shoot that piece as much as I want as well.

2 of course :) http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g4/zenfoldor/IMG_0368.jpg Had a colt carry handle laying around. Feel like I stole em.

When I found out about the free BCG deal I looked but the blems had flown out the door before I got there. With the pricing on the blem uppers + a free BCG + the comp if you like them it was a sweet deal for sure. |

Couldn't take it anymore had to order a 14.5 with A2X and a 10" KMR ELW-F + (1) free Gunfighter BCG
|
|
Yeah sale will be over soon I think lots of folks are gonna wish they'd grabbed one with the free BCG
If you are looking for a reliable weapon for a loved one the 14.5 ELW-F 10KMR is pretty much perfect especially for a smaller statured person.... |

After looking for a couple weeks I ordered a 16" ELW with 13" KMR .Just ordered a PSA chf right before the BCM sale so should be a good time for a comparison.

I couldn't resist and after going back and forth the past week, I just ordered a 16'' SS with 13'' KMR.
I went from having zero KMR guns to three this month. |

I'm about to get my third, but I'm torn over the muzzle device to pin.
I've almost NO experience with any of them, except 20rds on a BCM MOD0 and 300-400 on a FSC556 like 10 years ago...which I think I remember liking. I've been a SF brake guy forever and hate BCs even if they were $80. |

I've been happy enough with how light the standard barrels are to not think too hard on a ELW just yet. My plan for the SS upper is to swap barrels between it and the blemished 16'' BFH mid with 13'' Larue rail I bought last month. |

For me its about getting old and having to walk a couple of good sized hills (for around here) and hauling my coyote calling equipment
plus thermos etc....an 18" ELW-F would (I think) be just the ticket for me....maybe some three gun folks as well? (I dunno about them). Pretty sure my wants are probably not much of a market for BCM.....but if it was a hit with the 3gun crowd they just might make one? I'm hoping anyway otherwise my 16" will probably do....got a 20" Model 7 in 223 that will probably work also a light wt 20" pencil barrel in 1:12 that will also be just fine.... I guess I really don't need one after all |

I've gotten use to hauling 9-10lb guns around my 1500acre play area so these KMR guns will be nice. |

9divdoc: "Heck you answered your own question......no reason at all not to get another SF...."
Well, there is one reason--BCM is out of SF brakes, so they're not offering them. Otherwise I WOULD have gotten one. The question is, will they get more in stock before the sale is over--I didn't want to miss the sale, so I pulled the trigger on a FSC556. I don't think it'll be any louder than my SF, so I guess the flash suppression will make up for the little bit of recoil mitigation I'm losing. -- Besides, this just gives me another reason to get a BFH version in February with the tax return! :) |

Quoted:
Your logic is impeccable View Quote I'm breaking down and ordering mine with the base A2 then ordering the newer SF pro comp and a lantac dragon to see which I like better before pinning. I wasn't too impressed with the bcm comp mod 1, but the lack of recoil mitigation and muzzle rise could've been due to less than ideal shooting grip while running an MOE handguard. I wouldn't be surprised if the sale ends this week and the new BFH are available for Labor Day sales. |

1) Sigh. Despite impeccable logic, the VERY NEXT DAY after I bought mine (on Friday), they posted Surefire brakes back on the list. Story of my life. 15% restocking fee would be like $120+$30=$150 more for the SF. Ugh. If I'd just waited one more day. One. More. Day!!
2). No, I was talking about Battlecomps--really don't like them. I feel like the AFAB-mini and a ton of other comps do as good or better a job for way less money. They do look cool--but so does the AFAB-mini. I think Vuurpenware (?) summed up the issues with BC, but he was even harsher than I'd have been (though he's also more scientific). Jdcalve: I think the Lantac edges out the SF a bit in most everything EXCEPT, it is a fire breather....they don't call it a dragon for nothing. While the SF really isn't that bad...see the big MD test on YouTube. They were surprised that the SF did as good as it did. So even though RangeTime makes the Lantac look a bit better, the trade off of the smaller/lighter (?) and less blasty-fiery SF is worth it to me. |
