Is BCM still marking them with 5.56mm etched on the top? I want one for my 6.8 but it will bug the hell out of me if it says 5.56 on it. I know I'm being anal, but it bothers me.
Update: Found one on Noveske's website. In their pic it has the Noveske logo and nothing else. Same price so I think I'll go that route. |

bought one last week and its 5.556 etched on it, bugs me too running it in a 9mm  Looks like they would have just left it off since an AR can be had in so many chamberings. I like BCMs stuff, but they get carried away with the laser etching on their parts. |

They also use different receivers but most lower receiver manufacturers choose to stamp them "Multi" instead of 5.56 I don't see why you would stamp a specific caliber on a part that could be used for many different calibers. It could be a safety issue in the wrong hands. "well it says 5.56 right here so I guess thats what it is"
