AR-15 BS Thread

I have one on my newest build. They're nice but I've never had problems running the standard latch, even with one finger and thumb. I can see how the would help if you had thick gloves on maybe.

 

Charging handle. I installed a medium one on my Bushmaster rifle. It is much easier to manage with my fumble fingers.

 

Nice. I had one on my BCM build. They are really nice!

 

are the BCM GFs worth the money for the upgrade?

Depends. do you have 45 extra dollars in your pocket? if yes, then get one.

I dont have them on my current two rifles but only bc standard CH came with my PSA rifle kits. I will upgrade to the GF CH on them eventualy.

on the other hand, 45 bucks can also buy a good amount of plinking ammo

 

Got my AR-15 today!!!!! Rock River Arms LAR-15. cant wait to shoot it and upgrade it. what is the best upgrade?

 

Purchasing a skills upgrade through plenty of ammo and good training.

 

I would suggest fully upgrading accuracy skill. Then dividing your remaining skill points toward weapons handling and reload speed.

 

This. Take a carbine course before you buy anything other than ammo and mags. after the course replace what broke. (probably your BCG as RRA is known to have weak ones)

 

The last RRA one I saw was perfect. This led me to believe they have corrected the issue, but definetly all brands of BCGs should be inspected

 

What does it do though? I understand the glove and latch thing using the left hand etc. besides being pretty, is there a more quality feel to it? does it feel less sandy that the stocker? more sturdy? makes a better shiiiiick sound upon release?

 

the one I had the gas key was lose to the point it would wiggle and was not properly inspected.

also BCM posts all their specs. RRA doesnt post ANY specs of their bcg. I wonder if they could be hiding anything?

It feels much more solid and is easier to get a grip on while charging.

Im in no hurry to replace my current charging handles but when/if I do it will be with another BCM CH.

and yes, it does make a better "shiiiick" sound

 

Well I started my AR build today! Here is what I have so far:

CMMG lower
CMMG lower parts kit
Magpul stock



(Need buffer tube)

I am thinking about getting this upper:

And a few other things.....any opinions?

 

CMMG!

Love mine

 

Good to go buddy! I have a cmmg lower on my carbine build and it has a great fit and finish. That upper is legit too! DD is very proud of their rails though!

 

Alright fellas, I pulled the trigger on some parts! Just submitted my order and I'm so anxious to get them lol

Here is what I've got coming:

BCM mid length upper with Daniel Defense 12" handguard
BCM bolt carrier group
BCM charging handle
Buffer tube with end plate and the weird nut
Troy rear BUIS (says BCM)
Troy front BUIS (says BCM)
Ten metal mags with Magpul followers

 

Thats a damn good parts list you have there! The weird nut would be a castle nut. Do you have an armorers tool yet? If not you can get by with using either a punch or a flat tip screw driver for tightening down the castle nut.
