I think I posted a pic of this thing in a thread about carbine stocks not long ago.
But this is kind of my “main” carbine. Honestly it’s kind of a junkyard dog....
It’s a BCM upper receiver group from back when they offered carbine uppers with pencil barrels, it was 16” originally but at one point years back I sent it to ADCO and got it cut down to 14.7“ with an A2 pinned and welded because....reasons? I dunno. Probably a waste of time and money.
BCM gunfighter charging handle
Chopped carry handle rear sight
Aimpoint PRO in an ADM AD-68 “standard” height mount (a mistake, I should have gotten the taller one I think)
Handguards are the BCM PKMR polymer keymod handguards. I’m not some kind of Keymod apologist but I do generally like the PKMRs as far as plastic handguards go.
BCM VFG attached. I’m starting to get away from VFGs but for now I’m still using them on my guns that have lights mounted all the time.
Light mounted in the 11 0’clock position is a Surefire G2X in a BCM mount.
Lower is a Rock River I got at a gun show in like 2008 I think. This gun has waffled back and forth over the years between having a carbine receiver extension and a rifle extension with an A1 length fixed stock on it. Currently it has an Aero receiver extension with the ol’ CAR stock on it. Anytime I had a carbine RE on it I typically ran it with an “H” buffer but this time around I bumped it up to an H2, and I’ll probably keep it that way.
FCG is the ALG ACT.
Safety is a Seekins Ambi. I had to file down the right side selector a bit because it jabbed the shit out of my hand while shooting.
Grip is a Hogue beaver tail grip, without finger grooves because I hate finger grooves.
Sling is a Spec Ops patrol sling.
Mags may be either Okay Industries GI mags or Gen 3 Pmags, I use them more or less interchangeably still despite Pmags probably being objectively superior to aluminum mags overall.
The whole gun was rattle canned varying shades of brown a couple different times as components were removed or added, I left the BCM logo unpainted in the event I ever had a warranty issue it would be easily identifiable as one of their uppers....I’m assuming painting it doesn’t void the warranty...
Ammo is......plain old M193.
It’s an okay gun. I find it dull and uninspired but apparently not enough to not make the same mistake twice as I also have an 11.5” SBR configured almost identically except for a couple minor details and not being rattle canned. The SBR generally stays in the safe though.

Nothing that I know of. Troy just kind of fell off the map after what.. 2014, I know that I bought one of 3 pack of tan mags from Sportman's Guide in right after Sandy Hook when you couldn't find anything. In the past 4-5 years I just moved to Gen 3's, Lancers, or Okay Surefeed's.

My bump in the night gun is an 8" 300 BLK SBR with SiCo Specwar can. I keep a 30-round mag inserted, condition 3, filled with Barnes 110gr TAC-TX black tip. I have 2 spare mags on a battle belt I could grab if i had to, but i generally wouldn't throw on the belt unless things were really crazy.
No pic.
Upper -16" BCM LW Midlength URG w/FSB and YHM FH, BCM Mod 5 CH

Boring black, zeroed at 50 yards or meters. Well balanced, light, smooth shooting - my first AR. It lives in a small safe in my bedroom closet with 6 mags of 62gr bonded SP ammo.
