    If you hang around the forums long enough you'll learn certain companies have a reputation for quality. BCM, Colt, KAC, Sionics, Vltor, Mega, Noveske, Aero etc... Learn who they are, and stick to their products. You'll save yourself a lot of headache in the long run if you do.

    That name, Colt. Its legendary. But my son-in-law keeps comparing it to Harley-Davidson. But to be honest, I really can't vouch for them. Everyone who owns Colt sings their praises. But, are they really on a special level of high quality or are you just paying for a name? Vltor? I'll rave over Vltor and specify why. Im putting their CASV rail system on my current AR! Ill show you a AR15 and show you whats Noveske and talk Noveske and get stoked over their quality, innovation. Aero-Precision? When someone is tight on $$$, but they don't want to compromise ...on and on.
    And I didn't come here to be a troll and piss off Colt aficionados by doing what my daughter's husband does to me. Actually, I'd like to arm myself with some facts.
    If the first M16s issued when McNamara made them the official primary rifle of all five branches of the military, that works against making a case for them. i was trained on them at Ft Ord, but we weren't the first. We were told that, at a future date, everyone with a combat MOS would turn in their M14 for this black firearm that looked like a space gun and shot a .22 caliber bullet. It used a faster round than the ones I used on jackrabbits, but a .22?
    I wish I could say we were impressed. They looked flimsy and ...to be honest, they said "Vietnam" like they characterized the whole war with questions about the wisdom of over-commitment to something that had the usual experts confused.
    I returned three times to the little armory bunker run by a 20 year E-6 and his assistant, a Spec. 4 for new incarnations of the M16. They planned on holding that firebase about the size of a total football field, meaning the team areas, runways, accommodations etc and we caught hell just for saying "LZ" -because it was really just an LZ. Normally, we would have come in on a march order, set up bunkers and wire, and when everyone was talking about concrete bunkers, we'd get ordered to move out.
    The point?
    It really seemed we were digging in for a long stretch but we were only making occasional contact. Then some sgt who was going home said they couldn't pull all of IFFV into Tuy Hoa, but we were going o get trained on the M16, and trained well, and that rifle that replaced the M14 was GOING TO WORK.
    THAT was scary. because they were scared!

    The tracking number says my BCM lower group will be at my FFL tomorrow so I'll have it by Thursday at the latest. I'll take pics of the blemishes if noticeable to give an idea what you can expect if you buy a BCM blemished lower. Thanks for all the help, now I need to decide which upper to get to replicate the M4 I used on AD.

    I am between a BCM and a Colt 6920 upper. The BCM I was lookin at is the 14.5 Socom with pinned a2x though. The Colt is obviously closer to the real thing, but the 16" BBL bothers me that's why I'm leaning toward BCM.

    I get what you mean about the 16" barrel, it just doesn't look right on an M4 tribute build or clone. I still went with a 16" barrel, but it's a personal choice.

    As I've noted before BCM blem uppers are all I use for builds. I'll second the good luck finding the blem.

    I bought a blem BCM lower for my BCM Mk12 and I still couldn't find the blemish.
