Well I kind of have the exact setup you are talking about. I took my older (tube rail) DDM4V7 and put a 13" BCM rail on it with a Steiner P4Xi and turned it into a RECCE style build and I absolutely love it. I have not bench rested it and measured my groups with calipers but it is extremely accurate.Originally Posted by Wooohah

Both are nice guns, but if it were. E I would roll bcm just because it's about the same price and with the bcm you get more bang for the buck with the bcm trigger, comp, charging handle, and I prefer their furniture over the Daniel defense.

Hmmmm so technically each do have better parts over the other?
BCM has a better trigger, charging handle and comp, while the DD has a better barrel?

Gear, or rifles are only as good as the user. Even if a rifle is true to an inch at a mile, even if gear is as light as a feather, yet as durable as leather, it is limited by its user. Invest in training.

I'm basically deciding between getting the DD and replacing the grip and stock... or getting the BCM and replacing the rail...

Have you felt either of them? I have felt the dds furniture and like the feel, so I would give DD a chance on at least their grip.
As for the bcm. If you are set on mlok but want the bcm furniture then I'd say get a bcm lower w/ said furniture and then get an upper with the mlok handguard. I just ordered an upper w/ mlok (not bcm) and can't wait to try it on out.

So Rainier has complete BCM lowers on sale right now. Buy that, then buy the BCM upper you want without rail. Add rail of choice. Done.

Really either is a fine choice. I absolutely love my BCM, and personally think you get more for your money, as others have mentioned with the comp trigger and CH. I also like BCM's flared magwell. The DD has a very so-so milspec trigger, and late model ambi safeties really suck to be honest. I work and and LGS so I handle a lot of them, and they are very sticky. Not a huge deal overall as its easily swapped, but it bugs me. I do think DDs barrels are somewhat superior to BCM's.
I LOVE the KMR handguard, but if you like Mlok, DD's new Mlok handguard is really quite nice as well.

I'm starting to have doubts about wanting the DD now, I think I may go with the BCM and swap the handguard later.
Looking at the specs more in depth... it seems like the DD is kinda... overpriced?
To my understanding the DD has a standard milspec trigger, standard charging handle and a standard A2 flash hider right?
While... the BCM has an upgraded trigger, upgraded charging handle and a mod 0 compensator.
To me right now the BCM actually seems like a better rifle if the quality is so similar. I've seen claims of the DD's barrel being more accurate, but how much more accurate? Is it a night and day difference?
I'm thinking I might just get the BCM and toss on a midwest industries Mlok for $200 and sell the Keymod for $100.

And I hate to say, but I'm not 21. Therefore I cannot purchase a stripped lower from an FFL.
To make matters worse, I'm in Washington... where all sales must go through an FFL, so I can't even get a lower in a private sale.
(That's why I'm doing a goddamn 80% G19...)
Oh and did I mention we are blessed with a 10.1% sales tax for all out of state transfers?yay

I'm thinking about just going with the BCM REECE 16 KMR A, then replacing the rail with a Midwest industries 13" Mlok. Ill keep the BCM grip and stock for now, its really similar to the furniture I want to get, which is a Magpul K2 grip and ACS stock.
