I then picked up a BCM 16 inch mid length upper after passing on the wait from PSA to ship (which to their credit the canceled and refunded with no issues) since BCM was super in stock and shipped right away.
After selling some other stuff I was originally planning on getting an optic (or two stage trigger), but recently BCM lowers popped up again at Rainier Arms. So I sold my blem lower (fully disclosure to the buyer of course) I figured you know if I bothered for the high end upper, get a high end complete lower (assembled by someone other than me). So I'm going to pickup a BCM Complete Lower with M4 Stock. I also had a AIM surplus BCG on order. I figured I'll sell that (it's unused) and just get the BCM BCG and the Ambi Gunfighter Charging handle.
While I'll have to pass on an optic for the moment, I figured having a good base Carbine was key. I can learn the platform and I won't have a frankenAR. In the end I could have just gotten a BCM, but there weren't mid length builds for sale and being able to spread it out made life a lot easier for me. I also picked up Magpul BUS and a Vertical Grip (for the Mid length hand guard)
