To build the upper using BCM prices and a DD M4 bbl (closeout price) would be:
BCM Build
210 DD M4 16" bbl
13 Carbine gas tube
9 Bbl nut
3 Handguard cap
11 Delta assembly
99 FSC556
23 BCM CH
130 LMT BCG
94 BCM M4-cut Upper
$592 TOTAL
In addition, there would be about $30 to have the FSC556 permanently attached. So true total (without rear sight or handguards) would be about: $622
Price of assembled BCM 14.5" standard bbl midlength or carbine upper with permanently attached FSC556 (and substituting a BCM BCG for a LMT): $629
The only way I can shave money off this thing is to substitute a really cheap bbl (non-chrome lined Model 1, Doublestar, or DPMS). So, it looks like BCM has taken away all my fun by making something just as good or better for $7 more. :eek:
I'm going to start another thread on the lower hassles once I get over the fact that my build will not really be a build at all.
