Just ordered one!
Here we go again! I'm going to say gone in 19 minutes from now!
Heck yeah, I was waffling around about what to build next, looks like I'm going to have two BCM middies :D
just placed my order!
WTS: 25 BCM uppers, $850 each, available to ship in about a week
Someone get a stopwatch.
apparently i didn't sign up for the email. glad i was poking around on here. this is going to have to be my last graduation present to myself.
actually i did get an email but not until they were sold up, and i got my order confirmation at the same time!
The e-mail is what tipped me off.
Edit: Out of stock at 9:40 forum time.
Out if stock!!!!
Looks like about 20 min.
All gone.
I was right ON with my 19 minutes!!! How do I do that??? :D
forum time is local time, btw
But it is off by a few minutes. My internet sync'ed clock on the PC says 21:34 right now and the post time on this is 21:44.
I must have got one of the very last ones.
Finished my order.. then went back to the inventory page - and they were out of stock. But I did get one. :)
dammit! sold out while I was entering my payment info!:mad:
I'm going to have to call BCM tomorrow and add some things to my order. I thought about doing it with the upper but I figured I might miss the upper. No time for love Dr. Jones!
Hopefully I can get them to ship it all together for me instead of placing another order online.
Yeah, I finally got one, now for a bcg. thanks for the heads up.
The good thing is there coming quicker and quicker. what was that, less than a month between Middy shipments?
Less than two weeks between this and they're last upper shipment (M4)?
Take heart, it seems Bravo is stepping up production...
This plus the reports of LMT shipping to Bravo at 10 times the quantity they used to is all good news.
Missed it again... :mad:
Yea.. I'm feeling pretty lucky.
I was on the road all day. Get home, flick on the computer... bing - email from Bravo. Grab my CC, add the middy to my cart, and I even had time to add a couple of other things.
Feeling good tonight.
If anyone wants to swap the Middie they got today for the M4 I was able to get a couple of weeks ago, I am game. I just got the BCM box today and it is a beautiful upper but I could be tempted into trading for the Mid-length if you are inclined. If not, a will go ahead and build the carbine when my LMT lower arrives. No cash involved, just a fair trade..................
Missed it...again.
ARRRGGHH!!
PK firearms has Rock River Arms BGC’s in stock.

It never fails. They always come in when I am nowhere near my computer.
I give up!!!! The black rifle gods are conspiring against me.
This is beginning to suck. At least they are coming in stock for 20 min at a time
Damn, missed the bcg
Damn, it must be good to be in the AR business. Especially if you crank out quality products.
I have missed every single one of these for four months now.
This is beyond not funny anymore....
Can anyone tell me what the advantage or disadvantage of a mid-length uppper is? I never really considered one until now when I need an extra uppper for a new build. Is the mid-length gas system better?
Thanks,
The differences have been discussed on various threads around here, though I am not aware of any one thread for pro/con discussion of middies, so I'll put this here.
Disadvantage(s):
One significant disadvantage of a mid-length system is that it effectively places a lower limit on barrel length. Beyond that, I am not aware of any other minuses, though I'm sure others here are far more knowledgeable on this topic.
Advantage(s):
The mid-length gas system produces lower pressures, along with all that that implies. As I understand it, this means higher reliability and lower wear on the internals. Lower felt recoil is one side effect. Another implication of this seems to be that my middie is a bit more forgiving of lower pressured ammo (this stands to reason, based on what I understand of the physics involved). Again, others are more qualified to discuss the particulars.
The thread about the BCM middie contains a decent amount of info, as well.

As much as I really want one I've decided to just give up on one of these for the time being. I'll sincerely try again in 6-9 months when sanity has taken hold again.
