what company do you think makes the highest quality mid length ar15
10/3/2010 7:08:10 AM EDT
[#1]
BCM.
10/3/2010 7:15:26 AM EDT

BCM

Smoothest shooting AR I own.

4 for 4.
10/3/2010 7:30:47 AM EDT
[#6]
I own 2 BCM middys.
10/3/2010 7:31:31 AM EDT
[#7]
BCM without a doubt
10/3/2010 7:37:19 AM EDT
[#8]
Not going to say anything different, BCM
10/3/2010 7:52:21 AM EDT
[#9]
Best for me includes quality compents assembled correctly at a high value price point.

I think Spikes is in this category as well, and I doubt you'll find many who own them who disagree.
10/3/2010 7:54:59 AM EDT
[#10]
Bravo Co.
10/3/2010 7:55:52 AM EDT
[#11]
BCM, then Spikes.
10/3/2010 7:58:23 AM EDT
[#12]
Bravo Company all day long
10/3/2010 8:48:57 AM EDT
[#13]
The one you like and works for you.  BCM, Spikes, Stag, RRA all make mid lengths all work great.
10/3/2010 8:54:17 AM EDT
[#14]
BCM bar none
10/3/2010 9:00:20 AM EDT
[#15]
Noveske.

BCM is nice, although im really enjoying mt RRA Elite Car A4 ..Smoothest action ive shot to date.

My BCM 16" middy is the smoothest shooting rifle I've ever had.  My buddy actually asked me if he was shooting anything while putting rounds downrange yesterday.

BCM

BCM, Sabre, Noveske, Spikes, are all top tier and offer midlength gas systems.

Spikes is the best price, BCM has more diverse offerings (i hear spikes will do custom builds for you but havnt tried myself).  BCM also has a lot more experience(IIRC) building stuff.  Spikes is still kinda new, but they do make very nice shit.

My spikes middy is an amazing piece of firearm.....sold my BCM to get it and couldn't be happier. BCM was great but I wanted a Spikes upper to match my Spikes lower.

I'd buy an Armalite before a Stag or RRA.

I just purchased a BCM middy upper and can't wait get it to my dads house.
10/3/2010 11:37:21 AM EDT

I wanted a LW so I went BCM 14.5.  Added the BCM BCG and Gunfighter handle.  Couldn't be happier.

I'm plenty happy with my Sabre.
10/3/2010 12:58:34 PM EDT

Noveske. Shoulda got that instead of the N-4 basic
10/3/2010 1:11:21 PM EDT

Well, all I own is Armalite. Good fit and finish. Armalites bolt design is a big plus for me. I don't mind the straight pinned FSB. Good barrels also. I hear BCM, Spikes, and others are good also.
10/3/2010 1:17:03 PM EDT

BCM or KAC.

10/3/2010 1:56:36 PM EDT

There is no such thing as "BEST"  What I think is 'BEST" to you may be a piece of crap. I always just laught when I see these threads " What is the best AR"  " What is the BEST sling"  " What is the BEST optic"
C'mon somebody use your head and do your own research and decide for yourself what is " BEST ' for you and your needs.
Rant over!!!
10/3/2010 2:01:16 PM EDT
[#32]
Agreed.  A search on this site will show the differing opinions of the different manufacturers.  I have not had an issue with my CMMG.  It has run 100% for me, even with the .22 adapter.  Upgraded with a Colt bolt that I had as a spare. Have read wonderful things about the BCM stuff.
10/3/2010 2:36:54 PM EDT

I have both a BCM and a Spikes and the Spikes is EVERY bit as good and if you take into account the $$ factor it may be even better.

Is this a trick question?



BCM Middy, hands-down.

Why the rolling eyes? lol

I wanted a Spikes upper to go with my Spikes lower and don't regret it for a second, the BCM was great as is the Spikes - both are equal in quality and finish. I didn't lose out on a thing.

Some people like to mock anyone who admits they want their guns to look nice.

I own 2 Spike's middies, and they are great. Never owned a BCM.

Daniel Defense or Bravo Company.

Ran both side by side this weekend and could not tell a difference between them.

Because the only people who care about crap like this probably don't even shoot their guns.  As for the equal quality part....I'm not going down that road again.

that's because that road has been proven to be a dead end. Apples to apples, Spikes is every bit as good as BCM and at a better price point.

Anything specific that makes a BCM better than a Noveske? Price isn't one of them because if you outfit a BCM with BFH barrel, MUR  etc they're the same price.

Back before BCM and Spikes were flavor of the day I put a Rock River Arms mid length upper on my Bushy lower, and it's a frigging SWEET setup. I'd pit it against whatever is out there out there and it shoots like a dream.

That being said, I do also own a Spikes M4LE with an A1 buttstock that I'm pretty fond of...

I went with Daniel Defense. I would have gone with BCM but the DD was a hair cheaper and I don't like all the laser engraved BCM logos.
10/4/2010 10:47:16 AM EDT

I have shot  the BCM and the Spikes and I would be happy with either one.    Both are very nice and shoot good.

Hey, I'm kind of OCD/ADD/OPP that way myself, but you win the prize for selling a BCM middy to buy a Spike's middy when you rate them as "equal".

noveskes barrels are made from m249 blanks.
cold hammer forged and double chrome lined.
not the same thing

My Rock River mid-length goes bang everytime I pull the trigger  no matter what brand of ammo is on the menu that day and it is more accurate than I am.
