Anyone using any of the new BCM.....?

They look slick. The only BCM parts I have are RE kits. Just what was quickly available during those builds, coincidentally.

I'll have to try their MD's if I ever get a bug to build another AR.

(edit. Creeping toward $100 for an MD..I don't know, what suppressors do they accept?)

I have the mod 3 on a 14.5 elw upper. I haven’t fired it at night yet so can’t speak to flash suppression. I was shooting with my buddy the other day, he was using a 6920 with an a2 birdcage. I couldn’t tell a difference between the two noise wise though I do feel like it helps with muzzle rise noticeably. Nothing game changing but it’s noticeable.

The mod 3 produce significantly more flash than the A2 birdcage.

The new variations appear to be a 2 prong open tine and 2 prong closed tine in 556 and 762 in both standard and extended lengths.

According to the description the open tine reduces flash more than the closed tine version.

I should get some time on this one shortly.

I like it.

Give us a range report when done, particularly on flash suppression and muzzle rise mitigation.

I'm being lectured by people that I need to upload video and start learning to do vids. I'll see if I can do a quick project with it.

Any updates on these? They look nice but BCM put zero effort into selling them. How about some night footage for flash performance vs an A2 birdcage. The main competition is the Surefire Warcomp and the SOLGW Nox so maybe some kind of comparison against those?

Pray tell, what has BCM put a lot of effort into selling with new launch items? These were a low launch item, the stocks before them were low launch items, their new receivers were low launch, the new URGs have been low launch. The BCM MK2 recoil mitigation systems were low launch, and their new book is something you probably haven't even heard of.

Not only that, but the item they are about to release I'm betting will be also super low level launch.

Sure, but most of those products don’t really need videos of any kind. The MK2 buffer system is just a rebranded Vltor A5. Nothing to get excited about, just another source for A5 buffers.

With muzzle devices, especially ones that cost $100, its nice to see something even as minimal as some flash photos at night and even a quick 10 second video showing a string of fire to see if the device is over compensating the muzzle down. Not a requirement. Just nice to have.

The FCD 6315 page is a good example of low effort but useful product info: https://www.forwardcontrolsdesign.com/6315_p_76.html
