    Almost guarantee is right. My brother received a Mod4, old version, from BCM less than two weeks ago. If you want the newer version, I suggest you ask for it. Otherwise, you get whatever shows up in the mailbox. We didn't even know there was a new version until this week when we got some freebie DVDs that mentioned it(Pat Rogers, Basic Carbine)
    edit: Myself, as well as my brother, are happy with all of our BCM products. BUT, if a new version of a part we use on all of our builds is available, we would like to know about it when we place an order and have the option to receive it.

    So it seems to me BCM could benefit from carrying both models. Maybe listed separately. Right now it seems like a toss up on witch you may receive unless you request witch model you would prefer.

    These have been shipping for some time. Recent complete guns shipped with them (mod 4), and component handles were the new design as well.

    The upright skirting has gas-control properties. Unsuppressed, some will notice them, some won't. I have not shot the new handle on a suppressed gun, but upon information and belief, they work well for gas control.

    I like the old one. I like the new one. I wouldn't run out and replace old ones unless they were at the end of their service life, or you are running a suppressor.

    More good stuff from BCM.

    Thanks, your welcome. That was exactly the intention of starting this thread, to find out the best way to go about getting the new version. As I stated before I just purchased one about 2-3 months ago and it was the old version, and another member said he received the older version just 2 weeks ago, while others have received the newer version that they ordered months ago. This has informed any one who has viewed just how to go about getting the new version.

    Thanks everyone.

    That extra little lip on the CH is something that makes me want to order one of these for every AR I own.

    Frankly, if I placed an order for a BCM Gunfighter today and didn't get the one with the lip I'd be pissed.
    Besides the new GF CH, Frog lube will fix that issue of oil on your glasses.

    That said what exactly do all the changes do, I figure the top portion will slightly block gas blow back, but what about the bottom edges that have been extended?

    That's a good question. I remember reading some threads awhile back about some people having problems getting pinched by the latch on the gunfighter, and it looks like this newer handle has also addressed some of those problems as well. I see they have cut some angles on the edges this would be my guess for the modification to the bottom as well.

    I purchased 2 BCM CH's a month ago, and I received the Enhanced models. I was surprised because I hadn't seen these up until that day. Although I have several of the original CH's, I'm a fan of the Enhanced model.

    Is everyone buying these through other retailers or what. Mine was purchased through BCM and is the old version, I love it but would have preferred the new model.
