    Nick,

    I'm using the BCM 14.5" Middy for my duty weapon, and it is the smoothest shooting setup I've ever used. I'm clearing buildings with it on a regular basis, and am very happy. Note the below picture is the upper, but my duty layout is with a CTR and Aimpoint M4. I also use a handstop, not a VFG. I'm using a ST buffer which is pretty heavy, and no problems of any kind. I would imagine weaker loads would be fine with a lighter buffer if needed.

    I wrote up some info about it for Military Times, it might be worth a quick read.

    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    A bayonet actually works on that with the PW comp?

    I'm personally hoping for a 14.5" lightweight middy to hit the market. Is Daniel Defense or BCM planning on offering something along these lines?

    Thanks guys! I had a 16" LMT MRP barrel with a mid-length gas system that I had cut down to 14.5" a few years back. That thing ran like a raped ape! Im happy to see that there are some more options from viable companies like DD & BCM hitting the market in the 14.5" Middy configuration. I cant wait to get this project completed....

    I doubt that their department policy allows them the use of bayonets.

    *Troy Industries "Claymore" muzzle brake (pinned/welded)
    *FailZero complete BCG kit (Auto)
    *FailZero M4 upper (Black) *or* Daniel Defense M4 upper receiver
    Can't see how anyone could argue with that. For a more sexy look, I would consider a Sun Devil billet upper or a VLTOR MUR billet upper.

    I have this DD upper, but changed out for a folding front sight / gas block, and it came w/o VFG or rear BUIS, and I put a CMMG Smith Vortesx FH with the little spikes on it:



    Only 650 rds so far, and of course it has run perfectly.

    It's not a bayonet, it's a barrel mounted stand-off and less-lethal crowd control device.
