They do look nice, but all I really care about is function. And from what I can tell they are great.

Be cautious and only buy one or two. Some brands of rifle lowers are more likely to be out-of-spec than others and the mag wells can end up too tight to drop pmags reliably. Otherwise, pmags are reliable and durable.

Mac, how's the typical resale on BCM stuff? Do they hold value better than some of the lower quality stuff?

The other thing to keep in mind is that it's often harder to re-sell an assembled-from-parts rifle than it is a factory-made rifle. You could assemble a rifle from all-BCM parts and usually will still have a harder time selling it than the same thing bought as a complete rifle. Sometimes yo can do better selling the components piece-by-piece. |

I've got membership pending on M4Carbine.net and also lurk ARFcom; M4C is no-nonsense with tons of valuable information, ARFcom is OK too but there's definitely a lot of nonsense you have to sift through to get to good information. Needless to say coupled with everything there and all of the help you've offered, I've learned a lot. I came very close to ordering a PSA completed upper. Everything with them as far as specs goes checks out: cold hammer forged barrels made by FN, MPI/HPT properly staked BCG, M4 feed ramps, and upper/lower receiver shells made by Aero Precision. Pricing is great too at $499 for a M4 style upper with the FN barrel. The issue is these are new and they haven't been put to the test yet. I think they would be GTG but only time will tell. If I went with a full PSA build there would always be some uncertainty, and after handling the BCM stuff yesterday I knew that was the way to go. Maybe for a future build I'll try some PSA if they prove themselves. Right now, I end up spending a couple hundred dollars more but have the peace of mind knowing I am buying some of the best.

I went to the Gun Show at the Howard County Fairgrounds yesterday and picked up a H&K MP5 .22 A5
I used to own a GSG-5 and this, by feel, blows it out of the water. This is actually the first and official .22 MP5. Made by H&K in Germany and you can easily tell the difference between this and the GSG-5. Can't wait to try it out. Also finally getting around to putting my Kimber 1911 back together! |
