I’m new to AR's and have been surfing this site for some time. I’ve decided on a 16" BCM middy upper. Now my question is, should I get the standard or the new lightweight version and why?
If this is not the right section or has been covered, I will move or delete this thread. Thanks and I trust your guy’s opinions. |

I just received my BCM Standard 16" Middy upper the other day. I'm currently waiting on a 9" FDE Drop In rail that I ordered from Troy. It is unreal how nice the BCM feels on my rifle. I had the Century C15A2 setup with the 20" upper. The orginial upper on my rifle was off an old Colt M16 and the lower is made by CMT. There was a fair amount of wiggle between the upper and lower after I removed teh accuwedge. Once I swapped over to the BCM upper, it was nice and firm. I had considered the lightweight, but as far as weigth reduction, I got all I wanted just dropping from a 20" to a 16" barrel. I paired it up with their complete BCG and a mod 3 Gunfighter handle.
The goverment profile feels fine to me, but until I get my rails mounted, I won't be able to give a full judgement on weight. I don't plan on overloading my rifle. I figure I'll get a sling mount, light mount, some XTM rail covers and either still trying to decide between handstop, AFG ro VFG. |
