Long time lurker, first time poster, but I finally had a question I couldn't answer through a search. About time!
I've been looking to complete an Aero Precision lower build with a 14.5" mid-length setup. I didn't want to just slap on a PSA or something, so for a while I had my eye on the BCM ELW setup. Cost-wise, it's basically the upper limit of my budget, but I wanted something quality since it might be my last gun purchase for a while (new baby, and this was squirreled away for it...). Plus, I like companies with good customer service because you never know, and BCM has been great in that regard.
I was recently at a local show and met a rep from HM Defense who showed me their Monobloc upper. (http://www.hmdefense.com/html/technology.html
Seemed like a pretty cool concept if it checked all the boxes of accuracy and reliability. Plus, with a machined comp to hit the 16" it seemed to fully fit the bill. Price-wise, I think it'll run $100-150 less than a BCM. I like the idea of having something different in terms of an AR, after a while everything feels the same, so if this is legit, it'd be a nice addition.
I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with them in terms of the monobloc or one of their complete rifles, both the product and customer service if it was necessary. Company-wise, they seem to be an up-and-comer in the same mold of AP with a serious aerospace background, but I'd love to hear from anyone with first-hand experience with them before I really consider it. It does seem like a pretty awesome product idea all told, but I don't want to be a guinea pig. So far, just one G&A review and a few odd blog posts so looking for a little more info. Thanks.
