Damn I knew I should have waited for summer to get a BCM upper, but no I had to have it when the KMR first came out.
O well time to get another.
I love my BCM, but it's my first AR. I'm going to try Noveske, JP and GAPrecision, in that order, to see what's what for myself. It'll be s slow, methodical and fun process.
Agreed, but I think it will affect other brands regardless of brand loyalty. You're always going to have diehards that are cool with spending twice the price on a Noveske, but for normal people money talks.
Basic economics says more people will buy BCM uppers than their competitors given the current pricing situation. As an example, I am a diehard Mercedes Benz owner. They've taken good care of me, but if Audi or BMW were to release an equivalent car for 60% of the cost of a Benz, guess what my next purchase would be?
Either the competition is going to lower their prices as well or their sales will suffer. How much they will suffer I do not know. I do not buy guns based on potential resale value so that is irrelevant to me. I look at it strictly from a shooter's point of view and BCM has a smoking deal going on right now.
As a shooter, I look at people spending $1,000 more on a Noveske and I just scratch my head. Great weapons, but that extra stack would buy a T1, a case of ammo, and a bunch of magazines...
Probably because selling that one Noveske funded all of his other rifles![]()

14.5 ELW Fluted w/ BCG, Mod4 charging handle, and surefire MB556K pinned for $873?!?!?! I must be dreaming...
Yes it does. Selling more for less profit can make as much as selling a few at high profit. Plus it could expand them into the "its good enough" market by getting people who would have bought some other brand but pick BCM now because of the free bcg. Not a bad move at all I'd guess.
