I bought my 20" upper back in May, and when I tried to zero it, I noticed that the front sight post needed to be raised above the ears of the FSB. This was little more than annoying for a while, and the rifle shot very well otherwisw, but when I started trying different ammunition, the change in point of impact made it so that I could not zero the rifle without raising the post even further past the ears of the FSB.  My guess is that the F-Marked front sight base was mis-marked as "F". At 50 yards, it would shoot 6-8" above the POA, and I got tired of playing with hold overs.

I had read a lot about Bravo's attention to detail and focus on quality and customer service, so I sent an email and got a shipping label. I sent it back, and just had it returned to me.

Well, I don't know about the front sight's elevation issues, but now the front sight is canted about 5 degrees to the left. Needless to day, I am unhappy.

BCM answers their email quickly, but they don't get on the boards very often.

What rear sight were you using with the original upper?

Tried three. BCM carry handle, DDA1.5 and ARMS 40-L. Same issues all around.
