    BCM has terrible customer service. Purchased a complete upper from them several years ago when the KMR first came out. The barrel was bad from the get go. Tried for months for a resolution before removing the barrel and going with another manufacture who stands behind there product. Still have the stupid thing.
    I'll give ya $100 for it

    Can you expand on what "bad" means? Poor finish? Not accurate?

    As a BCM distributor, I will tell you that BCM does in fact stand behind their products. What they don't do is allow customers to get refunds when there is nothing wrong....

    I have lots of lowers that won't work with GEN 3 PMAG's. They are all high level, top quality lowers. So it should be the other way around. Buy mags that your guns like.

    'Nuff said.

    As I've said before: Much as I believe BCM makes a quality product I think they are on the wrong side of this.

    I don't have any issues with GEN 2 PMAG's in my BCM lowers.

    Me either, so far. Isn't the issue only with Gen 3 Pmags and that over-insertion tab?

    I've made it a rule to only use Gen 2 Pmags.

    Yes (and flared magwells).

    My Gen 2 Noveske wouldn’t work with them either.

    Hell my SCAR doesn’t work with any PMAG without mods.

    Don’t think either of them are bad or poor quality.
    Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

    I'm not going to argue if PMAGS are milspec or not, but I would never call them "plastic crap".

    I had a box full of unservicable issue mags. I had to replace them every year.

    I've been using the same 8 PMAGS as my training mags for 3 years with hundreds of thousands of rounds through them and they are still going strong.

    The only PMAGs I've broken so far were some old ass FDE hand-me-downs that already had thousands of rounds on them. I was doing some high volume shooting, 8,000+ rifle rounds in 10 days, and three of them either cracked at one of the feed lips or cracked at the notch for the bolt catch.

    I've been trying to sell the lower locally for a couple of weeks now.

    If I end up shaving the magwell to accommodate the mags what if any are the negatives losing the anodizing in that area?

    If I were set on using Pmags and keeping that lower I would file it down bead blast and Cerakote it.
