I am really close to pulling the trigger on a new upper. This would be my first nice, quality upper I have had since the black rifle bug bit me a year ago.
Here is what I'm looking at:
BCM mid length light weight upper with Daniel Defesnse Lite 12 complete from Brave Company USA.
Or:
Wait for Daniel Defesnse to make a light weight mid length profile (.625 gas block) and order it from Grant (which I heard they are planning on coming out with this, and correct me if I'm wrong please). I thought I wanted a DD 10 Lite rail but the 12 would probably be okay. Have him build it with a Vltor low profile gas block and send me an upper ready to go.
Any thoughts?
My goal is to get a good quality upper that is light weight as possible using that rail system. I know the BCM has the .725 gas block, and they use their own, so I'm not sure on how much more weight that set up will be compared to the DD. Would you guys go 12" over the 10" for more realestate and a longer forearm for better grip? I'm guessing only a couple of ounces different in rails, and maybe a few more ounces for the gas block and bigger gas port.
I want to be able to run the gun hard and get into some training classes to become better at running this weapon system. It would be used for HD and a lot of target shooting. I just want something I can rely on.
Thanks in advance for the input.
