    I hope this email finds you and yours well. I see your taking your show on the road to the Shot Show. I'm sure you'll be well received and I would like to do my part to help promote your excellent equipment. I've been carrying your rifle around Afghanistan for the last 6 months and it's done great. Never a malfunction and very accurate. I'm finishing off the the third can of military issue 118LR so since new the rifle has over a thousand rounds through it without a malfunction. It still holds minute of angle when I put a 10x scope on it and can do failure drills and fast engagements when I have my ELCAN on it. Thanks again for everything,

    name withheld


    When they post a testimonial on their OWN WEBSITE in which Mr. Name Withheld claims to use their weapon in Afghanistan and he is shooting 118LR ammo which to the best of my knowledge is 7.62 ammo my spider sense tingles. So either the testimonial was faked or someone doesn't know what they are talking about. I don't care what group was shooting their stuff or what claim to fame is being made.

    Apparently you aren't aware of all the companies who have been outed for using shills to advance their products. It's been discovered here several times.
    When did anyone say he was shooting 762 thru a 556,besides that being physically impossible?

    Agreed. These guns are machines with parts that break. My bolt threw a lug sooner than it should have. It happens. BPM didn't make excuses for it; they asked for the broken bolt so it could be examined and replaced it. Exactly what any reputable company would have done when a part fails.

    What I still don't understand is why some of y'all sit around here like rabid dogs waiting for a chance to pounce on anyone/anything that isn't an LMT/DD/Noveske/BCM. Those are excellent rifle builders. But they aren't the only ones out there innovating and building a quality product.

    It's one thing to railroad another builder based on one broken part. It's unfair, but this is the internet and that sort of thing is going to happen time and time again.

    However: It's inexcusable, childish and out of line to attack a man's character and integrity from behind the shroud of anonymity that the internet and obscure usernames provide -- without knowing the first thing about who he is and what he actually stands for.

    That's what's so infuriating about the way this thread has gone. Too many of you sit behind your computers and hurl personal insults at someone you've never met, knowing that you'll never be held accountable for what you type.

    It's embarrassing. And if I get banned or cited for typing that, so be it.

    Guys, how much is a 16" middy,stainless barrel with 1/8 twist with a 12" tube style hand guard from a in-spec builder?

    I now have the urge to buy one of these rifles just in spite of you guys and the sweet reading comp skills I've seen here.

    BTW, here's the guy who apperntly is a lier, or shady, or not SOF, or makes your BS meter tickle.

It could be just one of those things that happens.....like Colt bolts breaking around 5k on 6920 range guns. I'm not going to condemn a company, one that other knowledgeable and respected members of this forum are saying good things about, over a "sample of one" and a slightly suspect review.

    I'm curious why people think the guy talking about shooting 118LR is so suspicious.....considering the pictures are showing a 7.62 gun and someone else mentioned the company makes(made/testing?) 7.62 guns?
    A lot of folks don't take the time to read the entire thread when they get on a thread at the midway point. Some folks don't read with comprehension either. (like whoever posted and said 'sell the pos' after the OP had already posted that he had swapped) Additionally, some folks feel compelled to follow the crowd. But you already know that.

    I thought the OP's question was legit, and I thought that zk556's response was up front and useful.

    I agree with you about the bolt, show a consistent problem and I'd be concerned, once again, I feel zk556's take on it is entirely reasonable.

    What matters at the end of the day is that the gun goes bang and it hits what you are aiming at - where you intended. zk556 is happy with his choice, the OP, swayed by several posts got rid of his, and I'm looking into buying some stuff from BPM.

    All is well.

    First post on the forum.

    Agreed, but there needs to be a point where you got to drop it or take it on. There are trainers on here that hawk all sorts of products, and companies here that, officially/unofficially, have SOF/FAGs hawk their stuff. The companies for which they shill, and the men who do it, that's between them. Not knocking them, a man's gotta earn his nut, but if a company is doing the same thing, call them on it or let it drop. This site has rightfully busted losers/posers doing this type of this, so if you have evidence that speaks to the claims, put it out.

    Here in NC I can't swing a dead cat for hitting a tactical nylon/custom gunshop/whatever that doesn't have someone from either Bragg or Lejeune use it, endorse it, or trial it.

    For this particular builder, there are guys at Bragg who use his rifle (but in what capacity, I do not know). Perhaps the builder wrapped it crappy advertising or dubious testimonials, but semantics aside, it is what it is.

    26 INF, you sum it up nicely. However, I had made the decision to keep the rifle in spite of the posts here, and only exchanged it when I realized the receiver was out of spec. As I said before everyone I talked to in the area who make a living off AR's or are serious shooters do endorse BPM products.
