This.
Especially with the original KMR...not the newer, heavier Alpha.
Wish I grabbed one of the original BFH 11.5" KMR uppers when I had the chance. Looks like BCM has either been permanently or at the least primarily shifting their KMR equipped uppers towards the Alpha of late.
I've had an original KMR equipped BFH 14.5" mid upper for just over two years now, and have put that thing through the ringer to date. Over 4K rounds now as of this month. My all time favorite 14.5" upper at this point. And I've owned a ton. As soft shooting as the highly sought after, rare, and crazy expensive KAC 14.5" dimpled Mod 1 Carbine upper, but much much much lighter.
I'm sure BCM has their reasons for shifting focus towards the newer KMR Alpha, and I know/get some of them...but I still can't even try to find an issue with my original KMR.
