    I went BCM for my first build - just about everything else on and in it (waiting on upper, just ordered yesterday) is PSA, excepting the BCG which I got from Joe Bob's forum offer a few months ago.

    How does it compare to the raptor width wise at the wings? I may have to get one of these and try it. Another plus for the Raptor that is either a cool factor or nerd factor is it is on the M-27 in the COD Black Ops 2.:D

    Don't have a Raptor to compare it to, but it's got a pretty generous width from latch end to latch end..

    I'm running a 2x7 scope on my rifle with somewhat low rings, still have plenty of are to get a good purchase on the latches.

    Considering the the updated Gunfighters also do well at deflecting the extra gas of running suppressed away from your face, and for half the price of a Gasbuster, it was a no-brainer for me.

    Raptor still looks nicer, but for me the extra functionality of the ambi gunfighter gives it the edge, IMO.

    Thanks I was just wondering because I hated the way the Badger ambis looked with the huge wings. If the Ambi BCM is using the same size latches as the large Gunfighter it should be slightly wider than the Raptor.

    Looks to be the Medium sized latches.

    Just compared it against my single latch Med. Gunfighter.

    It should be about the same size maybe a little less wide than the raptor.

    The rounded edges on the latches are nice, doesn't snag or rub when slung.

    For the price, it's definitely one for the short list.
