But... But... According to BCM, Gen 3 PMAGs just aren't mil spec! Never mind that every other milspec lower brand has no problem accepting Gen 3 PMAGS across the board, and never mind that G3 PMAGs are literally mil spec because the Marines adopted them. It's Magpuls fault, BCM can do no wrong! Their overtorqued, locktite'd barrel nuts are a feature, not an indicator of mediocre workmanship.Originally Posted by mack7.62
BCM is overrated and overpriced and I hope people are realizing that now.

I would include the Barrett rifles in that list.

My KAC SR15 Mod 1 doesn't drop free Gen3 PMags. I'm thinking about getting rid of it.......NOPE.

I hate that BCM lowers are picky with M3 PMAGs. But no and no.

Yes, yes! Send all that "overrated and overpriced" junk to me. I will see that it is disposed of properly.

My BCM BFH takes Pmags just fine...

I may have been a little hyperbolic. There's no doubt BCM's run great, are combat-grade, and will never fall apart on you. I just think that for the price, little issues like that shouldn't be present in their products.

Seems to me they responded to the PMAG issue being discussed here, awhile back.

Did they? Until I see an announcement like "All BCM lowers after SN xxxxxxx are fully compatible with Gen 3 PMAG's" I will lump them with all the older Colt lowers with oversized pivot pins, sear blocks, oversized FCG pins etc. and I don't have much use for bad lowers. I like their uppers and other parts but face it good lowers are a dime a dozen, and their attitude about what is a easy fix turned me off.

Same here. Several years ago I would almost not have owned anything but BCM, but Pmags are so ubiquitous now that if a lower doesn't work with them it might as well be an AK that doesn't accept mags from different countries--in other words about useless.
