    BCM 14.5's are back in soooooooo?......

    Guys, I ordered a new BCM 16" chrome line, NON Hammer Forged. Well, I love it but Bravo Now has the 14.5's in and I want it. My thought was just get the 14.5 and sell the 16 on gunbroker as it has never been fired.

    At $399 would I be able to sell my 16 to pay for the new 14.5 and break slick? No interested in a profit but I dont want to loose any money either. The 16 inch is short, I just wanted the 14.5 and I cant get it out of my head.

    Thoughts?
    Thanks for the input as well.
    I moved this from another thread. I got no repsonse, I want to move fast on this.

    I see posts from people regretting their 14.5's with perm attached muzzle devices because it makes any future mods to gas blocks or handrails a serious pain.

    I don't recall seeing the same posts from people with 16's that wish they had gotten a 14.5.

    But, its your decision.

    Buy the 14.5 and keep the 16. Two is always better than one.

    Once you start it never ends.... BCM fuels BRD!!!

    I would like to agree, but I dislike a carbine gas system in anything greater than 14.5" so my 6920 has a Colt M4 barrel and a permed Blackout. It also has a a DD LITE 12.0 FSP so I'm set for the life of that barrel.

    I got an e-mail about the 14.5 LW's being back in stock, but I was on vacation out of the country, buy the time I saw it, which was all of 9 hours later, they were already sold out.

    Only reason I am looking for a 14.5" and not the 16" is because I have to perm a brake onto it anyway living in a commi state, so might as well have it as short as possible. Otherwise, I would always go for the 16" since as said before, I could change anything I want on it pretty easily.

    As long as you are content with the components a permed brake may not be so bad. If you are a geardo and have to have every new item thar comes to market stay I would suggest staying away. I know I've been toying with switching from my FSC556 to a BC and would hate being stuck or having to destroy a brake to remove it. Since you need to perm it might as well, go for it.

    I generally don't have a problem with permanent muzzle devices. My current favorite rifle has a permed muzzle device. HOWEVER, I would not recommend a rifle with a welded flash hider if it was going to be that person's only rifle (or even their second rifle). I would also not recommend one if the person in question was relatively new to ARs. Since reconfiguring the rifle is a pain in the ass, you should try to be ABSOLUTELY sure of what you want. That means exposure to numerous configurations and knowing what works for you. Keep the 16 inch gun. Then get a SBR (if your state allows). Then you can start thinking about a permed 14.5.

    Noveske

    If you are looking for a 14.5 middy, Noveske is getting ready to change over all of their Light Carbine 14.5's to a mid length gas system. Matter of fact they have been working on the website this afternoon. The photos the 14.5 models are down, and the descriptions have already been changed to reflect the mid gas. I suspect we could see 14.5 middy carbines for sale in the chrome lined barrels soon.

    I'll go against the crowd here, and say that a 14.5 with perm FH is my ideal configuration (aside from the SBR I can't have). I don't need a FF Rail, and if I would ever want one I can just mow the FSB and add a Centurian Arms C4.

    You are limiting yourself with a pinned 14.5, and you already seem to be somewhat undecisive, so think about any possible configuration that you may want in the future.
