Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here. -- Captain John Parker, Lexington, 1775.
I was sure hoping for more than the process of making the receiver extension. He cites material of the bolt and gas key...what exactly are the differences between in material of BCM's and Colt's gas keys and bolts?
If you don't have one, get the Colt. Afterwards, get the Middy.
PROUD TO BE A VETERAN
LAND OF THE FREE - BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
This is exactly why I don't get into this much. That's the typical response. It's generally not worth posting about because all of a sudden the guy that bought a BCM because of "X"s in a box instead of because they build a ****in-A good product starts feeling like he's a DPMS owner.
Whether or not YOU think it's of value, an extruded receiver extension is not as strong as a forged one. As I posted above, you may think a CHF barrel or a midlength gas system is more important, but that again is a judgment call on your part.
To the OP, buy the BCM middy.
I know this will not be of much value but I've really gotten turned on by BCM's middy. I've been doing some research, looking into my next M4, and there are several good carbines available today. But if I had the $$ right now I would have to go with the middy. It may cost more than some other very good carbines, but after tracking, somewhat, it's advantages, I feel the middy offers benefits to myself that I don't won't to pass up.
Just out of curiosity, do BCM, DD, Noveske, and LMT all have complete copies of the Colt M-4 TDP?
If not, how can they make a perfect copy of the Colt? Would it even be legal for them to do so, due to patent issues and whatnot?
I would go to a shop and handle a basic 16" M4 (to compare to the Colt) and a middie 16 as well (to compare to the BCM) if you can. base your decision on what feels right and you will be happy with either brand. I have a BCM middie along with an LMT 14.5 M4 and my father has a Colt, and I would carry either with confidence.
