BCM 14.5 in Mid-Length (ammo/buffer question)

[Cincinnatus15]

I've been looking all over M4 and other forums on the internet to try and find answers, but concrete answers seem to be elusive. I was going to do another A4 clone but instead I've planning on buying the BCM 14.5 BFH upper and pairing it with a BCM lower from GandR that comes with an H buffer. I'm wondering if this set up will be reliable when shooting wolf gold, xm193, m855 etc. I probably won't run much steel if any through it at all. Also, will this be a good representation of the mid lengths reputation (soft shooting, reliable, etc)?

Here are the links to what I'm thinking about pairing:

Thanks Gents.

Knowing BCM's quality it will most likely fall apart in your hands when firing the first rounds...

Once you do a quick search of this forum I' sure your question will be answered, but to sum up your results, your going to love said rifle. Also, read SWAT Magazines article from Pat Rogers https://www.slip2000.com/blog/s-w-a-...ine-filthy-14/

BCM's EAG carbine is a 14.5 mid-length with an H buffer, and a quick search here will reflect that the H/14.5 works great.

You'll love that setup.

H buffer and Wolf ammo work just fine in my BCM 14.5" middy. Test yours to confirm, but you should be gtg.

I have the same combination and it works great.

My 14.5 ELW needs a carbine buffer to run Wolf or Tula. Even some weaker brass .223 won't lock back on the last round if I use an H. Could be a combination of using only flash hiders, too. If you have a brake or compensator you'll have a little more backpressure.

Bingo. With a device muzzle device that creates lot of back pressure, like a battle comp, you could run an H3 with a sprinco blue.

Mine runs great with Wolf Gold, Prvi M193, and PMC M855 and an H2.

I don't know anything about Russian 5.56 or Springco springys though.

My 14.5 middy has an H in it and has eaten everything I've fed it thus far. I don't shoot steel case ammo as a rule though so take it FWIW...

Yes, it's not a BCM but my DD 14.5 w/ Battle Comp, Sprinco blue spring and H buffer eats any steel or brass I feed it.
