    BCM Blem Lowers?

    I'm fixing to buy another lower with the intent of having it SBR'ed for an 11.5in BCM upper. Normally I dont get to gay over what the rollmark on the side of my lower looks like but this one is going to be an NFA item so I want it to be something I wont mind looking at forever.

    My question is do all the BCM blemished lower's have the old style BCM rollmark on them or do some have the new rollmark? I would prefer the new rollmark.

    When it comes time to buy I'll be buying from G&R so, if you can chime in Grant, that would be great.

    I don't think BCM looks at a lower and says "Hmmm... this one is going to be a blem. Let's give it a special roll mark"

    I wouldn't look at an NFA lower as an investment. As long as you are using a good quality lower it's irrelevant.

    I realise that. I have seen atleast two different styles of BCM roll marks. I didn't know if all the blems were from a "bad" batch of older ones or if they are mixed in. I ask because all of the blem lowers I have seen to date had the older roll mark.

    I have no idea why I said investment as I have no plans of selling it, ever.

    Bought one from Grant last October, it reads
    BRAVO
    COMPANY
    MFG INC.

    That said, email Grant.

    It almost is - you are going to go through a lot of pain so it is closer to a lifetime purchase than a Title 1 gun...

    I have 2 BCM blem lowers, one bought recently and the other about 6months ago. They both have the older rollmark. Contact Paul at BCM or Grant at G&R.

    But the lower itself is like $100 worth of product.

    Hardly a big chunk of change in the grand scheme.

    I would spend the extra $90 to get the non blemished lower. Mine only had a few marks, but I saw one a c ouple of weeks ago that had some marks all over it. I Think its in the blem lower thread.
    If you want it to be nice to look at I would spend that extra
