The fact of the matter is that stripped BCM lowers aren't available very often. I could see them charging more for that reason alone.

I think you make some good points, especially on the MARS lower. It's not for me however. I like an ambi safety but that's it.
Agreed. Compare them to the KAC stripped lower at the same price. Either way, it's a personal thing. Works for some but not others.
BCM and KAC lowers probably won’t drop Gen 3 PMAGs
I have two BCM lowers that I bought from Brownells about a month or so ago.
They both drop Gen 3 PMags free just fine. Like they pop right out when you hit the mag release, unlike my DD that you have to hold just right or assist a little bit.
Also, one had a sticking bolt catch and BCM sent me a prepaid ship label and had it back to me repaired in one week.
I was actually prepared to be disappointed with the BCMs based on all the complaining here. I totally expected to have PMags not drop free and to be told to pound sand by BCM like Colt does.
However, everything works great and their customer service has been fantastic.
Not any more but yes. I had a 6720 that was way tight with Pmags. I also had a 6920 Trooper show up with one bolt head sheared off on the Centurion rail.
Disheartening for sure. I can only base my experiences with a Colt 6920 and a BCM version of the 6720 from 9-10 years ago and both never had a problem with any generation of Pmags or USGI. Fortunately my Gen 2 Noveske Lower was manufactured with a cut-out in the magwell to accommodate Gen-3 PMags. Was your 6720 from a more recent production run?
