BCM or Raptor- which is equal or better to the gasbuster?

Thanks!

I have one rifle with a BCM, and one with a Raptor. Both came with their upper.

If I had to buy another, I would go with the Raptor. Though honestly, I probably wouldn't buy an ambi, and instead go with a BCM Mod4. I don't find myself using the ambi capability enough to justify the increased cost on another upper.

I love my raptor! I do wish the latch were slightly larger but it is excellent nonetheless.

There is a lot if info here, look around. As for my opinion...

I don't think that it's that big of a difference between the three. They work well enough, but I am not that impressed with the gas buster for the price.

Try a BCM with Permatex in the gap between the raised skirt and upper.

This is what I have found in my readings, no first hand experience......yet:

Raptor is a smoother feel due to it being slightly heavier than the BCM gunfighter. Most people that have shot with both prefer the Raptor.

I plan on purchasing the Raptor and the BCM ambi. I have two builds and will put one on each.

Hope that helps.

+1 Permatex. It will definitely reduce the gas in the eyes

I own both and i prefer the Raptor.

However I have not shot with them suppressed so i do not know if one is better than other is that scenario.

Same here. I did own both but now just the Raptor.

Does your upper have a gas problem?

Suppressed?

I honestly did not notice a difference between the two in terms of getting gas to the face. I, however, prefer the Raptor over the BCM.
