    I wouldnt expect bcm to warranty over the issue, if their lowers meet mil spec, or to change if it somehow comprimised the lower in other ways, but not changing the spec after the issue is discovered seems to me nothing but a matter of arrogance, maybe there is more justification for it, but i cant see it, each receiver is fixtured and machined machining that one flat cant be anything

    Have to agree to both of these.

    Also, i hate to be the guy to say this, but just because bcm has a well earned reputation for quality parts, it doesnt make them any less "aftermarket" than magpul.

    I wouldn't expect BCM to change their specs. BCM should manufacture their rifles to specs they see fit. However, since this is a known ongoing issue with such popular magazines it would seem reasonable for BCM to inform their customers so they can make an informed purchase.

    Website update: BCM lowers may or may not accommodate M3 magazines.

    Minimal effort to inform customers. Is that too difficult a task? Maybe it is just too much... else BCM could have made a single sentence website update rather than lengthy explanations on Net Forums and repeated returns on lowers as earlier posted here.
