BCM 14.5 Mid Length T&E/Range Report

In addition to the ammo above, we also fired a small amount of Swiss RUAG 55gr. M193 ammo. This ammo is (was) some of the best 5.56 I have ever shot and I regret that there isn't more on the market.

BTW, that thing is sweet.

Thanks!

To be honest, I really want to get another one in the exact same configuration as the one featured above that markm and Iraqgunz are testing and evaluating. It looks pretty badass too!

Mine's an SBR right now. But I think I am going to have it perm attached sometime soon, I was just too impatient to ship it off to Gotm4 when I first received it to have it done, because I wanted to shoot it so bad right then. But it's an unnecessary pain to have a 14.5" gun as an SBR since it's well over 16" anyways with the Surefire brake installed. It'll be better if the brake is perm attached so I don't have to worry about only using certain lowers and can take it across state lines and shoot it without having to get my "permission slip" from BATFE.

you'll be running RDSs and ordering after-market muzzle devices before you know it.

I have the exact setup with ~500-ish rounds of XM193 thru it.... flawless

Off topic, but Speer Lawman M193 is just XM193 in Speer's box.

No kidding! I'm coming from the KAC RAS to a 12" rail!!!

All this rail space is easy to get used to.

I'll get pics of the final weapon set up next time gunz and I get out.

Having run a 14.5" barrel and a 12" rail, I was always surprised that the upper wasn't more front heavy. Lite rails are pretty amazing, I'd like to try one of these with an 11" VTAC Extreme rail some day. I thought I was through with 14.5" barrels, but this may change my mind, especially now that reconfiguring them is as easy as swapping Lite rails or VTAC rails.
