Nice!
Are the non-stainless barrels hammer forged or standard?
I hope this is a sign that the 18" SS410 barrels will be in stock soon. I've got a build that's been waiting for one for what seems to be an eternity.

Standard. To my knowledge, the only factory built AR with a hammer forged barrel is this one: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=MID16LW-BFH-MK4S

I'm digging that Precision-18 MK2.
http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=862-680
first line says "16" SS Medium Profile Barrel"
Oh, for those interested, we now have an M4C BCM discount code (works on rifles). :help:
PM or e-mail for the code.
C4
Well that sucks. I will never get my upper now, since they are using them for factory builds. :help:

buy the rifle and sell the lower?

Good idea. BCM won't be turning out any more lowers for some time and they command top dollar!

That type of stuff never works for me. Besides BCM doesn't list them on there site.

I don't know why not. I can forward you at least 5 e-mails in the past two days of people looking for BCM lowers. ;)

Son of a bitch! I just bought a BCM 16" mid. Oh, well....maybe in a coupel years....

Is that the Midwest Industries SSG2 handguard on the Precision 18?

Including the blems you get from time to time or just new stripped lowers in general?

a little write up on the rifle
cant wait to see range reports on these! was going to build one but will hold off and see how these do!
I'm digging the BCM stuff! Mr. Grant, do you have one of these in your collection? I could not be a dealer from wanting to keep everything.

Blems will always be available from time to time.
C4
Pinned gas blocks?
No. They dimple the barrel and have never had one move (as they are under the rail).

Being a dealer, it hard to resist having one of everything in my collection. :D

What rails are those?
What rails are those?
On the RECCE's, they are Centurion Arms.

Not that it matters to the subject of the thread but aren't Ruger's SR556 barrels hammer forged also?
I'm pretty sure my next rifle will be an 18" SS barrel rig like an SPR Mk 12 clone. That 18" precision setup is pretty tempting. :cool:

Is that an MI rail on the precision 18 mk2?

Daniel Defense has hammer forged barrels as well. Did something change? Did I miss the memo?

Since this is a thread about new BCM rifles, I'm pretty sure Grant means that is only "BCM" complete rifle with a CHF barrel.

The 18 ss is exactly what I had in mind for my next rifle.

Grant PM sent.
Do these use the standard GI barrel nut?

ETA: What's the price on the P-18?
Correct on the rail. It is the nicest rail I have ever seen come out of them.
Prices are on our website under:http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&category=BCOM
Remember that there is a discount code for M4C members (which changes the list price of the guns). ;)
C4

6lbs 3oz.

DD is correct. I was referring to BCM.

Yes, the Centurion Arms rails utilize a GI barrel nut.

Blems will always be available from time to time.
I've been seeing BCM lowers show up at Ranier Arms from time to time in the last few months. Is there a more recent change in their production that's going to reduce their availability, e.g. a push to produce more complete rifles like these?
I really like the Larue rail system, but it's definitely heavy. These new rifles look great, but I'm going to have to hold out to see how the BCM Key Mod turns out.

I think we are going to see more rifles out of them and less lowers for awhile.

For almost $300 less than the non-MK2 Recce BCM rifles.
The only differences look to be the $55 dollar Sopmod Bravo, a $65 ACT trigger, and the Midwest Industries rail vs Centurion.

The rails are different.
On the ones you linked they are the Midwest Industries rails.
On the mk2's they are Centurion's.

Correct. You also get a BCM COMP on the 16" gun (over a standard A2) and a B5 Systems BRAVO stock.
There is also OVER a $100 dollar price difference in the rails.

I have been constantly begging God all day that you will still have some in stock at the beginning of September. I realize that's a long time in this industry but still...

I picked one up earlier this month. Already switched out the stock, grip, etc. I've only put one mag through it, but it felt great. Mid length on these really shines. I do like the trigger and muzzle device.

These are probably the best complete offerings I've ever seen since becoming a member here. BCM hit it out of the park with that carbine series. :cool:
I'll be wanting one of those Precision 18's. When will they be arriving at G&R :D

I apologize, I must be missing it....I don't see which models come with Troy BUIS?

Sorry, I was looking at a pic of a MID-16 MOD 3 when I wrote that post. Will fix it.

Now that this furlough is over I'm going to have to get some money saved!
Very excited, just ordered the RECCE 16 MK2.
Forgot the M4c coupon code though....der!!
