I prefer my BCMs to my Colts, but would grab one from either maker with no hesitation. If it matters to him, the BCM will probably have a nicer finish, but all of my guns are tools, not showpieces.

I'd rather throw money at BCM than Colt, but other than that, I wouldn't care which way.
BCM is above Colt. Colt is the standard but BCM goes above with their QC and first rate service. You can't go wrong with either, I have a couple Colts from the days before BCM.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but I'd recommend BCM for the simple fact that they offer mid-length gas systems and Colt doesn't, which if you've done some reading here, makes the recoil a little softer and extends the life of the rifle and its components compared to a carbine-length gas system. I'd recommend choosing a complete, 16" mid-length gas system BCM rifle for him. Colt is an excellent and proven brand, and I just got a Colt lower myself to build an M4-style rifle (do people still say "M4gery?"), but I'd recommend a BCM in this case.

I've got nothing against Colt, but as others have mentioned BCM gives you more options.
Take the time to watch this interview. If I weren't a BCM fan already, it would sway me for sure.

I paid more for my BCM BFH middy than I would have had I gone Colt, and I'd do it again instantly. The price difference is negligible now, but even so, paying a little more for a BCM mid length just makes sense for a lot of reasons.
The only down side is his rifle will be better than yours.![]()
I haven't even thought about the mid-length gas system, good call guys. The only problem now is thst he's gonna have a better rifle than I do lol. BCM it is!! That's some brotherly love.
Buying the lower from g+r and adding a upper from bcm's site gets you a complete rifle for the same cost as a 6920 but the bcm will already have a rail and be free float. Unless of course you get a 6720 from PSA for $799 shipped like I did. Decisions right? They still have them in stock.
