    The original Colt 6720 was spec'ed out by Clyde Armory, roll mark and all.

    Nowadays, when people are referring to the AR-15A4, they are referring to the civilian model of the M-16A4:

    Does anyone know how long the free BCG deal will last at BCM? I don't see a "sale ending" date anywhere.

    Zane - if possible just wait for when it's a sellers market again....say 2016.
    Recent ones were around 2008 (Barry elected), 2012 Sandy Hook

    There is a growing sellers market for Russian arms....so I'll be letting a Saiga go eventually

    I've recently put down about $1700 for lowers/mags, $750 cheapo PSA AR15, $1400 for BCM uppers/bcgs

    The 2016 elections will be interesting

    I didn't really think prices were falling in general on the top tier, except for Colt's, and I believe that is in response to the loss of the M4A1contract (for now at least). But, with BCM offereing BCGs with their uppers, that is the equivalent of more than 10% off. First they cleared out blems at great prices and now you get a $169 - 189 BCG thrown in with your purchase. As already stated, it will be tough to sell anything used now, so let's hope the other manufacturers we prefer all follow suit and add to, rather than sell off our personal inventories. .

    bcm's sale specials seem to be clearing out uppers with Qaud Rails & Non-BFH barrels.

    Seriously, could it be that BCM is trying to clear out existing inventory that has been sitting on the shelves for quite awhile to make room for their latest URG's? Still, they're offering their "latest and greatest" upper receiver groups with KMR handguards and ELW barrels at bargain prices when you add in the BCG's and Comps. "Black Friday" sales have nothing on these offerings. Will this have a ripple effect on their and other manufacturer's lowers like the forthcoming Battle Arms Development lower? Maybe not, since most purchasers of uppers will want to get another lower to complete their builds, so the demand for lowers will still be high. Who knows, but in the mean time, "Get it while the goings good".

    I think people see the DD rails that are so expensive by themselves and then see the 360 dollars off line, or 400 dollars off line for the upper, and jump on that. They do not have any of the DD Lite III rails on there site, so I figured they are discounting the 2's that much to clear those out. People see the KMR set ups and relaize its a 230 dollar rail and its not AS big of a discount. Just the way I thought of that.. Who knows...

    BCM has obliterated the used market for a long time.
    BCM has probably just obliterated the BCM used market but I don't see that translating to other brands. Brand loyalty is a strong ideal and everyone isn't just going to standardize on BCM because they're selling cheap uppers. Depending on how long this deal goes on or if it becomes the norm for BCM, the value of their secondary market uppers and possibly rifles are going to be devalued. Consumers will have to take note of that and will have to consider all variables when making a purchase or deciding what brands they want to fill their closets with for when the next, let's call it "selling opportunity," comes around.

    It's a bold move by the company which is going to yield a lot of sales right now IMO. But what this does to resale values is something that will have to be considered when buying. Uppers that used to cost 600+ that are being sold for 400 aren't worth 600+ anymore, and that kind of ROI can't be expected when re-selling it. So on the face of it, these uppers are a great deal for shooters, not so much for people looking to profit from their purchases because they aren't getting a deal that the rest of the general public can't get.

    I'm just hoping for BCM BCGs to hit EE's in droves with prices at all time lows.

    Shouldn't the bcm M4 16 Carbine MOD 1 cost about the same as a colt 6920? Isn't bcm just adjusting to the competition? DD's are on sale also.
