    Is receiver flex really that much of an issue? Is there any quantifiable evidence that shows how much accuracy is changed with different receivers? Also is the tighter fit of BCM receivers beneficial to accuracy by any quantifiable amount? When I look at products that say this is better than x product, numbers and testing is what I want to see.

    Wonder if these will be standard across the lineup and wondering if a price increase will happen.

    Hoping these will be a selling point over the competition instead of price increase type of item.

    Using the search feature and reading past information regarding the MUR, some of your questions will be answered.

    My upper blew up a few years back. It was a MUR and I was using an LMT E-Carrier. IMO the damage was limited due to those two factors. Most of the MUR damage came from prying the upper open to get it disassembled.

    If you check out the work from a few years back of Kino Davis, you will find a lot of info on flex testing and the results. IIRC, there were some companies who really freaked out when they saw the results and made threats, and got him banned from another board. Its been a few years, so please forgive me if the facts are slightly different, but that should be the gist of it.

    I have heard nothing about even rough ETAs with this project. Not that I claim to be all knowing by an stretch, but I figure it gives you a little info instead of no info.

    If it makes you feel any better, UPS just dropped off a 9mm, 3 5.56, 1 300BLK, and 2 308 barrels. I don't figure any of them will be wearing the BCM upper in their first evolution.

    The new BCM MK2 upper receiver should be available in the first or second quarter of 2019. That is from the horses mouth, BCM owner P.B. , at the 10:10 point in the Vid, link below. IMHO, it will be the best mil-spec forged upper receiver money can buy. I believe a more rigid upper can not only help enhance accuracy some, but can also help to extend bolt life to some degree. I would have prefered If they would have omitted the bright white star and BCM lettering off of it, or at least put it on in a much more subdued way, but I can deal with it if I have to. I am in for four of them asap. Also, nothing but respect for BCM. They keep prospering while keeping moral standards, like not doing business with states that are against the 2nd Ammendment.

    I just watched that video, and a few things stood out to me. This receiver will be out in ‘19, Paul is passionate about what he does, and LAV is looking very healthy.

    I loved that LAV asked Paul about a BCM .308. Paul didn’t say “No”, so that tells me there is a chance.
