BCM 14.5 Mid Length T&E/Range Report

[SteveL]

I've been planning to start building a rifle later this year and have been debating back and forth between a 14.5" or 16" barrel. This thread is really making me lean toward the 14.5". Thanks for the review and I look forward to seeing the results of your continued testing as well as more pics.

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.

One can always hope! WalMart is (was?) carrying their 9mm ammo.

Great review, markm

+1 for this!

The only way to improve on that barrel is if it had an LWRC piston kit attached.

Having run a 14.5" barrel and a 12" rail, I was always surprised that the upper wasn't more front heavy.

This thing is anything but front heavy. It's front light without my light mounted.

This computer is brand new.... don't make me vommit all over it.

Ugh. Fine. You've talked me into getting a 14.5" lightweight middy upper. Now just to sell off my carbine upper.

I hate you.


Seriously though, thanks for the great write up!

I don't even see that a light weight is necessary. At least on this set up.

This upper feels very light with this stuff mounted up front: (gear sector mount, light, and DD fixed front sight.
