BCM Prototype upper?

[JediGuy]

Speaking of such, does anyone have an idea on the cost of the BCM Mark 2 upper receiver?

One would think, if a design were improved while keeping all the original design features, they would simply cease selling the original design and sell their improved version for just slightly more to cover R&D. I would guess instead that they sell these for around $150-180.

There will always be someone who wants the original though. Plenty of people still like gov’t profile barrels.

Any news on this?

Owner Paul B said it would be available in the first or second quarter of this year. So at this point, it is a month overdue.

Which is still 2-3 months early, if you consider typical firearms industry / manufacturing releases.

From BCM today:

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, we do anticipate offering these sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year.

But as usual, don’t hold your breath.

So from a cure speculative point of view is the thought these will a less costly option to a MUR?

Demo BCM are ~$60, regular $119, will this replace the $119 or be $150-$200?

I'm itching to build something in prep for cooler weather outdoors shooting and will need an upper. Was going to pick up a MUR (straight up or branded) and would love a less costly option to put more money into ammo/training.

No way do I see these being less costly than a traditional upper. Think of how many forged uppers are created, and sold to various manufacturers for various levels of machining. I don't see any way BCM could or would even try to play the cheap game.

Any interesting question would be if BCM would be willing, or even interested in licensing or selling the basic forging to other companies....

hopefully it's cheaper than the Noveske Gen 3 Chainsaw upper receiver when it's on sale, $220. that one also has the reinforced snout, and Forward Assist, brass deflector.

Thanks, I figured the same, but don't really "know" the players. Grabbing my normal boring MUR.
