$1000 is too much for that rifle with no furniture at all.

$999.99
 I own a few BCM uppers but I'd buy a Colt first.

BCM Recce Complete @ AIM
This is only $1380. So to break even with the OEM you'd have to get a stock and handguard installed for the $380 difference. Depending on what you wanted, would be doable. |

Cheaper in the long run to buy a BCM upper and lower separately.
Still cool that they're getting into it, just needs to be cheaper. |

Having owned both a bcm and Aero Precision. I'd take the Aero. For my personal use Aero fits the bill with cost to benefit. If I was a door kicker and needed to run the snot out of the gun day I'm and day out I would go bcm.
When I had my bcm it started as just the 14.5 carbine upper no handguards so it was relatively cheap. But 1k plus needing a stock and handguards no way |

Colt OEM is $750. All BCM does is ensure you get "Colt Quality" (by adhering as close to the TDP as they are able to).

ETA: Given Colts recent track record...that's a bold statement You have a point. Colt's QC can be up or down at any given moment. I'm just saying that BCM got it's foot in the proverbial door by offering parts that were "true Mil-spec" (a realm previously owned solely by Colt). |

Put a BCM upper on an (insert PSA/BCM/AERO) lower and profit (as the kids say these days.)

I saw that email too, figured they were motivated by Aero's cheap offering.
BCM's awesome and all but that's a bit high imo. |

I got this redirect URL from Arfcom itself, it might have to do with the site's ad analytics for companies that advertise on here. I haven't noticed it for hotlinks to sites that aren't "affiliates" on Arfcom.

To be noted, the BCM comes with some non-standard parts (CH, trigger, end plate, etc.). Scroll down at Brownells to see what it comes with.

Not sure why the linked didn't work, other than that it may have to do with Brownells being a site sponso issue that someone mentioned.
Overall, I am excited to see more OEM rifles being offered. This isn't something I would buy. But.... if they offered a ELW barrel and there was a good black friday sale, I would be very tempted. Like foolishly tempted. I also dream of the day that Colt may offer a OEM 2 6720, but Colt's Colt... what are you gonna do other than watch them go bankrupt while saying, "please take my money.!' It's like rich people on the Titanic not wanting to get in a lifeboat with the common people. Anyway, as more OEM options are offered, this price may drop or new options offered. |

Seems like you'd spend the same amount and get more, by getting a complete BCM lower ($395 at my LGS) which has the same components as the OEM rifle lower and comes with a stock, add a BCM upper, and you're at about $1000.

Generally the reason to get the BCM over the Colt is the gas system. The BCM also has an upgraded trigger (they're nice, for those have have never played with them) and depending on your preferences, possibly a nicer pistol grip. If for some reason you want a 16" carbine gas rifle, then sure, you can't really beat the Colt. |
