[ARCHIVED THREAD] - BCM upper question

Posted: 1/28/2013 7:48:00 PM EDT

I've noticed some BCM uppers have a white military star before the letters BCM and some just have the letters BCM? Is there any difference between these uppers, was one a special run?

Old logo (letters) vs. new (star).

The first batches had no markings. Then they had the BCM on the ejection port side at the rear. Then they had the BCM on both sides at the rear. Then they have the star. Coming soon, they'll have the BCM at the front, forward of the ejection port.

Uppers built with a BFH barrel have a BFH logo on the side opposite the ejection port, at the front.

Components are the same, but it does help BCM date the thing if it comes back in for warranty work. Which is why they started marking them, or one of the reasons they started marking them, in the first place.

As Lancelot said right above me, the older ones (i have one) don not have any logo at all

I had one (2006 or 2007) that only had the logo on the left side at the rear.

Sorry to bump an older thread, but i just received a brand new mid length upper directly from BCM a couple of weeks ago without the star in the logo marking. Am i to assume this is an "older" version? I find it hard to believe this is the case considering their uppers sell out within minutes of being available....

I got a BCM upper a couple months ago, and it had no markings on it.

It could be someone's home build with a blemished bcm upper as they have no logo. I won't buy anything without logos on the appropriate parts. Lots of people get snobby about logos but I'll know that what I'm getting is what I want.

I wish they would stamp the uppers with BCM, something similar to the Colt C.

Daniel Defense and BCM are my favorites but all the white lettering is getting ridiculous and I won't buy their shit if it's gonna be all tagged up with goofy logos.

The logo only appears on complete upper receiver assemblies, not just upper receivers.

I purchased a complete upper from BCM in February of this year and mine just has the BCM logo with no star. I was wondering if mine was an older upper they just threw together to get stock back on the sight.
