BCM = better and cheaper IMHO, but there's also nothing wrong with LMT. YMMV.

My opinion as well.
The performance of the BCM at it's price-point is exceptional.
For a little perspective- I bought a BCM middie when supply was zero and demand was high. I payed far more than you will have to and I am still a happy camper. I have LMTs that are great, but I only bought them because Colt and BCM were unobtainable at the time of purchase and the LMT was on the shelf.
I was trying to decide between an LMT or BCM upper to go on my LMT lower. I have a RRA chrome lined Entry Tac upper on it now, but after reading so much here, I decided that I needed to upgrade to something I knew was GTG. Bear in mind, I have had no trouble at all with the RRA upper. I plan on using this weapon as a back-up to the Colt the state Highway Patrol issues, as well as home defence /SHTF weapon. So with that in mind, I ordered a BCM 16" M4 from Grant. After reading the realities of workmanship and materials contained in the info here on this site, I felt the BCM was the best deal for the money.
What am I missing here? I bought a 16 inch LMT upper with handguards (minus the BCG and charging handle) for $450 delivered to my front door. Isn't that what BCM sells their uppers for (minus handguards, BCG and charging handle), even before shipping? Or does BCM make dealers follow MAP?
I really enjoy this site ~ much more than TOS ~ and I dont want to crack heads with anyone or get sideways either. There is some real good info here. That being said , to answer your question , I bought the BCM because I believe the BCM to be a better product...... and what if I bought one just because I can? Is it a bad idea to have two uppers? I'm thinking I would like to build another weapon![]()
I don't really see harm in having more of a good thing. Enjoy your new rifle.
This thread is yet another great example of why I enjoy visiting this sight daily.
In order to complete my first 'adult' AR15, I was planning to purchase (from G&R), an LMT upper complete with all LMT components. However, upon further reading, and what I'm sure is way overanalyzing this purchase, am now leaning toward either a:
1. BCM 16" Mid Length Upper complete with all BCM components (G&R)
2. Noveske N4 Light Recce basic 16" upper (Noveske)
3. Custom upper with Vltor MUR-1A, Noveske 16" Light Recce barrel, BCM or LMT BCG, CH, etc. (G&R)
The finishing touches will be:
1. Troy rear sight
2. DD Omega
3. Aimpoint
4. Surefire Scout
5. Larue FUG
6. Rail covers - undecided
Decisions, decisions...

No not a bad idea I bought my S&WM&P15 a year ago and it's been a no problem great shooting AR.
I bought and extra BMC bolt and a standard LM&T bolt&carrier. Then last Month my local dealer got in a LM&T Defender 2000 with a SOPMOD buttstock and their up graded hand grip. They let me take a look at it and I went home and fetched my Kimber TAC II .45 and we did a trade in on the LM&T.
So having a lot of extra stuff is good. But I kept my S&W and trust it with my life as I now also trust my LM&T.![]()
I'm also in the market for a new AR and keep hearing all this talk about BCM. I know LMT, Colt, etc. but who is Bravo Company in relation to these others?
I'm also wanting a rail and keep hearing about the DD Omega. On Grants site there are several options for rails on the BCM uppers. Any particular you guys recommend for it? http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin...ategory%3DBCOM
