Any idea of when and where they will become available? I see complete uppers with them. Thanks. |

Wolf Gray master race. I see that someone else on here is a Vickers Tactical fan. (No judgment; I based my setup on LAV's, too - though I was inspired by the setup that he had back when he was running the MK2 prototype upper, circa ~2018.) |

Only Larry has a SOPMOD mod0 stock in wolf gray! They won’t make anymore for us normies. I’ve emailed them like 5 times asking. They have the mold and the plastic. Do a run of them they will sell! |

Do a run of them they will sell! I would run a Mod0 in wolf gray. I would also run the slim version of the VFG in ray. I have the Vickers sling in gray, its not padded. But I'd buy a padded one if they made more. I was really late to the gray party. I'm too poor to afford the sights he's using. |

I do find it interesting that BCM "can't" ( or whatever ) find a forge to turn out the Mk 2's. Given the demand, I would think they could sell quite few. IMHO, the Mk 2 offers enough improvements over a "regular" forged upper , that they would sell like hotcakes. I mean who won't want more potential accuracy ! And the forward assist being out of the way is a huge bonus as well. @BravoCompanyUSA .... please, could you all shed some light on the Mk 2 production status ? Respectfully, A loyal customer. |

| I was told all Mk2 receiver production has been going toward completed upper receivers. But I also saw a source that said that BCM was retooling the Mk2 to accommodate other rail systems. Could plausibly be a bit of both...dunno |

I've recently been debating whether to sell my BCM MK2 Reece-14 build, which I bought back in December 2019 (same month that the MK2 was launched), but now that BCM seems to have stopped producing the MK2 uppers, I think I'm gonna hold on to it, at least for now. Although the issues with fitting certain rails (namely, Geissele and Daniel Defense) to the MK2 are well-documented, I'm skeptical that this is the reason that they're not being produced. Even if that's a known issue, it's not a reason to discontinue or halt production, and I imagine that the vast majority of people who buy BCM uppers buy them to have a full BCM URG, not to stick another OEM's rail and barrel on them. I suspect that there's simply an issue with the forge from which BCM was sourcing production. |

It appears that BCM has quietly resumed production of the MK2 URGs. As I write this, three of their MK2 URGs (the 14.5" BFH MCMR-13, the 14.5" BFH KMR-A13, and the 16" BFH KMR-A15) are listed as in stock: https://bravocompanyusa.com/ar15-upper-receiver-groups/?_bc_fsnf=1&Upper+Receiver=MK2&in_stock=1 EDIT 7-25-22: Correction, make that four URGs - the 16" BFH MCMR-15 is also now in stock. All four of these have the ELF profile barrels. |
Picked one up when the Warcomp CTN came into stock this week.     Still waiting on my can to get out of jail and to pull the trigger on an ACOG & red dot. At this rate, it'll probably be next year before I get to shoot it. Check cashed on 11/18/21. Fortunately I have others to use until then.

Emailed BCM asking about stripped Mk2 Uppers. This is the response I received: Hello, Our MK2 upper receiver is currently not available for sale individually at this time. We have no information for public release as of this date. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Facebook for new products and product updates!
