Paul was generous enough to send me one. It is a fantastic (minimalistic) approach to a stock. Clean lines and well thought out. From what I am hearing from drop tests, it is also one of the strongest (read most rugged) stocks on the market.

It will be interesting to compare it to the MagPul SL stock, which I feel will be it's direct competition.

I've had the MOE SL stock for a few weeks and it's a great stock for the money. I plan on buying one of the BCM stocks and do my own comparison, selling off the looser.

I read something where they said the stock was modular and could have interchangeable pieces in the future. Exactly what features of the stock will we be able to change?

The BCM and the SL feel and look very similar to me. I like the sling attachment locations better on the SL. The BCM is limited on the QD positioning by the plastic. The BCM is easier to adjust IMO. They both lockup tight (no rattle at all for either), but the SL is very tight (too tight for my taste). I don't like the adjustment on the side of the SL, it feels awkward to get to (not as natural as just grabbing the stock and moving it).

I believe an important part of the "rugged" discussion is who releases drop test info. BCM claims it exceeds the mil spec, and uses it as marketing material.

Exceeding the mil spec is a good trait, but it doesn't mean that other stocks don't also do the same. Comparable data is necessary before saying it is "one of the strongest" stocks. A better description, at this point, is that it "exceeds mil spec drop test requirements."

Drop test Schmop test. I break almost everything I touch, and I've never cracked a stock.

If a guy mortars on the toe of the stock, he's retarded and can't be helped no matter what. I'm sure the gunfighter stock is very stout, but that's a lower priority characteristic to me.

I have seen a lot of stocks over the years go through drop tests (some official US Govt and some not). Very few will make it over and over and over again like the BCM one does. Most crack on the FIRST drop.

It is not my place to discuss specifics, but I am aware of a number of popular stocks that take beating after beating over the mil spec test without problems.

My point is not that the BCM stock isn't rugged, I just think without sufficient supporting data it's a weak marketing point to call it "one of the strongest."

It's also hideous, but that's another discussion entirely. ;)

Yep, but none this light and this inexpensive (to my knowledge) will last as long as the BCM.


I have one and think it is very modern and sleek looking. It also feels good shouldered (cheek weld).

Yes on limiting it.


The BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Stock Assembly features:

The strongest light weight polymer stock for your mil-spec receiver extension.

· New patent pending latch reinvents the stocks interface with a mil-spec receiver extension providing user with superior strength when dropped or mortaring malfunction clearance drills.
· Snag free design. No sharp edges prevent tangling of rifle with shooters sling, molle gear, or other kit.
· Modular VBOST (Vehicle Borne Operations Sling Tab) – This tab interfaces with the shooters riggers band or bungee to secure the shooters sling against the stock when carbine is not in use. Most common application when operating inside a vehicle.
· 2 different types of ambidextrous sling mounting options including QD swivel sockets.
· Integrated color matched rubber butt pad for secure placement in shoulders along with increased durability.
· Simple modular design. 5 parts and 1 screw allow for modular adaption of future stock options and configurations.
· Available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, Foliage Green, and Wolf Gray.

I don't run my AR's this way (sling connected to the stock) so I cannot comment one way or another. My guess is that it works just fine (as a lot of the BCM GunFighters DO run their slings to their stocks).

There's no doubt in my mind that it will be a great piece of kit and I will most certainly be picking one up to evaluate when they become available, but I agree with some other posters here - it's not too attractive. Functionality will always trump aesthetics, but it doesn't change the fact that it looks like the inbred love child of a Magpul SL and B5 Bravo.

Agreed. I know it's about function over form, but I'll be sticking with the more traditional Crane style stocks (SOPMOD, LWRC compact, etc.). It's a matter of personal opinion of course, and I might catch some flame for this, but the BCM stock looks a bit clumsy/goofy. Happy for those who are excited about this new stock though. Look forward to hearing reports from the field.

I am a long time SOPMOD stock user. The BCM is anything but clumsy or goofy. To me, it is much more refined than the SOPMOD (and much lighter). You have to see it in your hand as pics really don't do it justice.

I don't doubt that, Grant. I'll concede that if I were to find myself in need of that type of ruggedness/durability then I'd consider throwing one on my work gun. But the days of me kicking down some bad guy's door at 0 dark 30 in some far away place is now in the past, so I'll stick with what I know for now. You know I wasn't all too keen on the more vertical style pistol grips at first, until I actually used one. Now one of my carbines wears a K2, so this dog isn't too old to adapt to change and innovation. I'm sure at some point I'll get over that it looks like something made for my son's Nerf dart blaster. ;) Looking forward to more end-user reports. I'll keep an eye on it.

I see AR's dropped all the time from sling attachment points letting go. Most every AR class I attend, there is someone mortaring a round out (many times on concrete). So I don't think you need to be kicking doors in A-Stan to want a strong stock.

This is true about a lot of things. There are some things that opinions can be wrong about...the parts that make a rifle go boom reliably are sort of at the top of that list. But furniture really is personal. For instance I've hated few things more than I hated the more vertical grips. They caused me finger pain, it felt unnatural, and the leverage that exists for manipulations was stolen from me. The only time it would make sense to me, would be if I was someone who patrolled for miles and miles every day, and was tired of my wrist being at an exaggerated angle in the low prone which is the drawback to the traditional angle.

I'm very excited about this stock and also the Magpul SL...it looks like maybe a solution for those of us who had the opportunity to shoot the old CAR stocks and realized that big and complicated contraptions didn't bring that much to the table. Until now most of my rifles have received either MOE or CTR's. I do have a couple of SOPMODS, but in reality "sloped cheek weld" on an AR stock doesn't mean much to me...and I believe has the potential to be detrimental to consistency. Most of my face winds up on the receiver extension anyway since I'm a one click in guy(5'9''.)

THIS... and there's any number of other ways a weapon can get damaged. In your vehicle in a collision, if you have to go over a fence/obstacle. Unless I'm 100% sure a weapon is completely dedicated to recreational use only, I pick strong components.

I won't discount the proclaimed durability of the BCM stock, but I've conducted all types of missions both CONUS and overseas and weapons got tossed around and abused quite a bit. I've had a weapons case fall free from my lowering line because it came un-done during an airborne op for example. Fell a good good ways down during a night op, and when I finally recovered the weapon the worst that had happened to it was a bent barrel and the handguards were off. I've seen the aftermath of weapons from IED initiated ambushes and have personally witnessed weapons taking some hard hits in the middle of gunfights. Through it all I can honestly say that I've never seen a buttstock break on a gun. Receiver extensions, yes. But not an actual broken buttstock. Not saying it never happened, just saying I've never seen it. I wouldn't worry about dropping my rig and damaging the stock if it happened to become unslung during a training venue. As I said, I'm anxious to hear first hand experiences with the stock, and I'm not ruling out the possibility of owning one at some point down the road if I deem it a necessity. Good discussion.

There's going to be a lot of stocks popping up on the EE I'm sure. I'll more than likely be replacing an MOE and B5 Bravo. Don't know if it'll replace my two SOPMODs though, purely because it may be too light that it throws off the balance. Hope it's not an issue though, BCM makes some great stuff.

you need to remove the lever. the lever has two prongs which need to be pushed in at the same time for it to be removed. i modified a tangodown vert grip removal tool to do that.

I'm waiting for the FDE one to come out to stick on my SCAR. it doesn't look half bad on it, IMHO.

I am a long time SOPMOD stock user. The BCM is anything but clumsy or goofy. To me, it is much more refined than the SOPMOD (and much lighter). You have to see it in your hand as pics really don't do it justice.

I just got mine in today and I like it. I like the light weight of it and the simplicity. I don't really care much about aesthetics, but I do like the way it looks.
I replaced the MFT minimalist stock for this one. it only weighs an ounce more, and after shouldering it a bunch of times I am really starting to like it. After I run a couple hundred rounds through the rifle this week ,and if I'm still liking it I'm probably going to replace all my stocks with it.

Yeah... I've always thought the GF stock had a certain SCARish smoothness to it. As opposed to the sharper lines of many other stocks.

Just got back from my eastern travels to find a BCM stock at the house. Very nice. Since mine didn't come with directions it took a minute to figure out, how to install it. I plan on my 200M drop test in the near future. Overall it is very slick and looking forward to using it.

Can someone tell me why they went with the funky way of installation? Is it supposed to be where it's strength comes from?

The latch spring is completely different from a regular stock. It's not that they made the install this way to be cute. It's just a completely different system.

The pin that goes into the hole in has always been a weak point. I've dropped 2, Vltor and standard m4 and bent the pin so bad on both they were no longer serviceable. Still have yet to break my Sopmod.

I received my BCM stock today. It is very light and there is no wiggle room on the buffer tube at all. It definitely doesn't need a friction lock. I think I will end up with a few of these stocks.

Fired another 200 rds today, and mine is starting to loosen up. Not to bad, just some up and down movement on the buffer tube.

I was waiting for my new DSLR (Canon 70D) to finish up my review on the Mod 0 stock. There is no question that this is a pretty unique design, and I think the best thing to say about it is that I don't think about the stock at all while I'm shooting.

I've been playing around with my BCM stock and not completely happy with it. I'll compare it against the B5 Sopmod Bravo I just picked up. I doubt the BCM will stay with me much longer so prepare to see it up for sale.

It takes a good amount of grip strength to use the adjustment latch and the stock overall is pretty slick. I would prefer something with a little bit of texture. Other than that, it's a good stock, it's crazy light and does what it's suppose to do. If you're interested you can buy mine, essentially brand new, haven't taken it to the range or even out of the house.

Same. Gonna make the switch to an fde grip and stock once they're released. Coming off a b5 bravo and umbrellacorps/b5 grip setup. Hope I like the bcm stuff because I'm really digging the feel of the b5 gear.

That's BCM's standard 14.5" midlength upper with a KMR9. BCM normally stocks this config. I just added the Surefire CAM4FA556 flash hider for my suppressor, a Wilson Combat rail mounted QD sling mount, and a VTAC/Malkoff white light in a Gear Sector mount.

Was it a lot of work to remove the FSB, barrel nut, etc. to get the new KMR9 on?

I compared the Magpul SL and BCM side by side, and really didn't see anything externally that would sway me from either one.

I went with the BCM for the simple fact that my entire rifle is BCM and I figured if I'm going to have a BCM Lower, upper, BCG, pistol grip, VFG etc, I might as well get the stock too. If I was building two rifles, I would have gotten one of each.

After thinking about it, I need to dump the Surefire for a white LED light from Costco as well.

Oh, and paint it.
