    I a'm not saying LMT is useing sub par steel,I don't know what they are useing . I assume they use what they claim. I do find it dissapointing they (LMT) refuse to park under the FSB and use odball pins to fasten the FSB. many government contracts are subjest to the lowest bid and who you know or other factors. just look at the body armor vest fiasco . I read last year even Ruger had a small Gov contract for pistols. what I a'm saying is after owning both uppers I believe the BCM is better and I buy no means a'm I saying LMT is bad. the leval of commitment to excellance that BCM has is amazeing .

    [QUOTE=The Bravo Company is a very high quality Company with high quality products but as of this posting I have not heard or read that they The Bravo Company was a supplier to any US Military Dept. or branch of military Service as the LM&T Company have been for many years.

    Correct me if I am wrong on this item.[/QUOTE]

    directly BCM isn't a supplier. indirectly they are. military personnel are allowed some weapon modifications based on rank, and clearance. I do know that alot of BCM's inventory ends up overseas, and he gives them priority. lol as was stated earlier, some gov't contracts end up going to lowest bidder, resulting in poor quality; being a supplier to Uncle Sugar definitely doesn't guarentee quality.

    Well I am willing to bet that there is more LM&T hardware in our Military Service mens hands then BCM hardware.

    And if you think LM&T gets contracts being the low bidder for their hardware you are way way far wrong pal.

    And if you are thinking that LM&T has poor quality of hardware again you are way way wrong pal.

    So your saying quantity > quality?

    Before you give more hypothetical reasoning behind LMT > BCM. Just answer this for me. Do you own or have extended experience with both of them? I tend to believe users here that have had both and say that the quality of the builds in the BCMs is better. Due to less time constraints and less volume on the part of BCM.

    I love LMT as much as the next guy but it's a logical fallacy to assume that one product is superior just because its fielded by the military while another is not.

    Both companies put out nearly identical products. It really comes down to price and the company you want to deal with.

    Either way you will not be at a disadvantage choosing one over the other.

    no doubt there is more LMT gear; i believe they have some actual contracts.

    you referenced LMT as low bidder; i merely said "some" contracts went to low bidders resulting in lower quality goods

    i never claimed LMT was low quality, you brought that reference up

    instead of attacking me, carefully read the post; i never mentioned LMT.

    but i think this thread is heading toward a lock as people are loosing objectivity and beginning to approach a flame thread.

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought of the BCM upper (less BCG) as being better due to better quality control. That is besides being a little cheaper, park under FSB and the correct pins.

    Am I missing anything else?

    P.S. my post isn't an attack on BCM as I love them and their products and all my money goes to them first.

    i think that LMT uses straight pins versus taper pins to secure their FSB. it's an extremely minor point.

    you won't go wrong with either. That BCM handles the LMT gives you an indication of their quality.

    LMT does use straight pins but I think they may have recently switched.
    We have two new LMT uppers that have pins that are flat and flush with the surface of the FSB. The right side of the pins do appear larger than the left side. I haven't removed/knocked one out to see if it indeed is a taper pin just with flat ends.

    Have any of the pins used by LM&T ever given a problem?
