BCM Sales
Does anybody know how long BCM plans on keeping their uppers on sale for? Forgive me if this is a dumb question. A quick search found nothing. I'm hoping to get a lower (stripped or complete) at a gun show this weekend. Thanks!

I'm not too worried, just hoping it lasts a while yet lol. I'm still undecided as how I want to do the upper (I'm a noob) so I figured I would most likely buy a lower first and go from there.

They've been on sale as long as I've been aware of BCM's existance.

Hey ... While you are pricing lowers, keep in mind the blem cost for bcm at G and R tactical. 90 off for blem lower. Best I've found in pricing research and knowledge/support.
I should post this on the blem thread actually. I just ordered a BCM blem lower from G&R. I have inspected closely and struggled to find an imperfection. Much respect to Grant and BCM is all I can say. I'm new to this forum, and greatly respect these folks. FWIW I would keep the price in mind while you research options.

Yes I have seen this, thank you. If I go to the show this weekend and don't buy a lower, I'm either ordering from Grant or directly from BCM. The only reason I'm leaning towards ordering from BCM is the fact that I can get the modstock with it and avoid additional shipping. With it being christmas time I do not have the money to purchase the upper and lower all at once.

FWIW if you email Grant and tell him exactly what you're looking for he can put together a complete lower with your choice in stock, grip, etc. You just pay for the parts used and only pay shipping once. Just a thought.

I bought mine before I really planned to. Everything was going out of stock so I jumped on mine while they were still in stock. Not sure the one I wanted ever did go out of stock........ I was too busy fondling it to go back and check.

Definite second on this - mine had two light surface scratches & a tiny gouge on the front of the magwell. One Birchwood Casey bluing pen letter, & you can't tell WHERE they were!

I just took delivery of 2xBlems and had to hunt to find what I guess was the imperfection.
The even better news is if this is a reflection on BCM's attention to detail, BCM owners have nothing to worry about with the rest of their rifles, uppers, parts.

That sounds like a winner to me. It looks like I'm finally going to be able to start piecing a rifle together in January and I'm starting to lean toward BCM now. I'm guessing he would do the same thing with an upper as well....?

Well, since you are a self-admitted noob, the answer to this is easy. Get a basic, plain jane upper and an iron back up sight. Put it on a lower and then shoot it a bunch.
No way do you know what you really want/need, and trying to get it "right" right now will only end in frustration and rebuying stuff.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Thats not a bad idea if you don't want a collapsible stock... nice and lightweight. I should just ask for 20 bucks from everybody on this site then I could build a few different rifles, and one would be perfect haha

Shoot them an email there customer service is awesome. I had several questions answered last Saturday. They've been on sale for a while I paid more for my uppers! The sale is awesome. If you're considering an SBR G&R has BCM 11.5" CHF Bbl and a KAC micro rear sight included which is a sweet deal. The deal is on the EE now. Get an SBR if ya can. I wish I had not waited soo long to buy my first.

Thanks for the advice. I'm looking to start my first AR build in January so I'm going to go with a more conventional 16" barrel for starters. I may look into an SBR further down the road.
