BCM Sales

[benw315]

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!

[Tycho]

it's been going on forever. i bet you'll be fine through the weekend. why not just order the upper now if you're worried?

[benw315]

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.

[SteveL]

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

[Militant83]

Just order your barreled receiver now then once you figure out what else you want by the add-ons later

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.

I just can't wait until they get more of the 14.5"uppers available.

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! :D

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.

[SteveL]

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.

I already messaged him about that... he said he wouldnt put the modstock on the bcm blemished lower

this is actually what i plan to do... leaning towards lw middy with moe handguards

This, with a Cav Arms MkII lower!

[benw315]

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

[usmcvet]

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

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.

[Dionysusigma]

Heck, I'm four days away from having enough saved up for the upper I wa... I mean, need, and they go and sell out of them! jerks :D

My 20" I bought from there couldn't be better. Accurate, reliable, blah blah blah... with the rate I'm going at, it should be worn out some time next century. :sarcastic:

I'm waiting on a middie 14.5" pinned BCM myself!

This is very sound advice.

I'll also echo what many have said here.
Go ahead and order the BCM blem lower now.
Don't waste you time or money at a gun show. You really don't know what you are getting at them. You will probably learn to hate them shows.
BCM has a lifetime warranty.
$270 for a complete, quality lower can't be beat.

[polymorpheous]

I already messaged him about that... he said he wouldnt put the modstock on the bcm blemished lower

I can't imagine why.
Unless he no longer has and of the original modstocks.

If you order directly from Bravo you can get the modstock.

I have went with the BCM Blem lower on my first and only AR. Like others have said it's hard to find any blemishes on it. It is a great deal.

[Outlander Systems]

While we are discussing BCM's sales...

What sort of flaming hoop do I need to jump through to get an IoB BCG?

Either I look at exactly the wrong time, or they've been OOS for ages. Does anyone other than BCU even carry them?

G&R has them on their page so they carry them but also out-of-stock

Thats my plan! I'm going to get ahold of my FFL (hopefully tomorrow if he answers.. He's my friend's boss) so I can send my order into Bravo Co. I didn't get to go to the gun show last weekend because of all the snow in Minneapolis.

Get on the e-mail list for it and be prepared to POUNCE when the e-mail you that is in stock.

[87GN]

I would recommend a 16" midlength upper. It's unlikely that you'd be disappointed (especially if you bought a lightweight). You won't have to deal with pinned muzzle devices right off the bat, but you can always go that route later if you want.

[benw315]

Ordered my blemished BCM lower with modstock yesterday!!! And some pmags from AIM today. now the waiting begins...

[benw315]

And now a vickers combat applications sling! It's been a good weekend:dance3:
