Which one would you buy?

[Bafflingbs]

Which do you prefer? I’m torn! Specs are similar

I like the versatility that no FSB allows.

 

[River02]

OK---I'll be that MDS guy... Get Both for maximum versatility and...because

 

[Bafflingbs]

Now I’m wondering if a BCM upper, is worth double the price? You do get a CHF barrel and it’s chrome lined.

 

[Bafflingbs]

Do these goodies matter, vs. a nitrated barrel, at half the price?

I don't trust anything from PSA. Too many horror stories.

BCM should be solid.

I had no idea what "FSP" meant but I think I found it....

The FSP stands for Front Sight Post

I trust your opinion immensely, but, on this, I prefer a clean, low weight, upper. So, attachments are lost on me. Other than a handgrip, anyway. I kept looking at the two, but the traditional FSP kept drawing my attention. To be honest, though, my wife and best friend, sided with you.

I got the MOE gunfighter stock, sort of a compromise between the two

I did end up going with the BCM! Thank you!

100%!!

I ended up going with my gut, and buying once, crying once! I think I’ve learned my lesson, from the great 2013 panic buy, lol!!!. I’ve always wanted a BCM or a Daniel Defense, but always compromised. This far, no further! I went with the BCM above

Unless you absolutely love the front sight post look you bought the the one that allows you the most upgradeability and re-configuring with as little "pain" as possible. Convenience is a price point. Have fun with the build

Wait just a dog gone minute! That wasn't in the original choice. BCM trumps all(DD is good too, but I wouldn't pay the price when I know I could build just as good a product).

Id go with the no front sight post. If you want one later you can add one. It does get in way of optic

Thank you sir!!

Lol! I know! It really wasn’t planned. I just thought I’d look up what was the best AR upper, and I remembered BCM. I kinda wished that they nitrated their barrels, but, CHF is King…, right?

My LE6920 has the post, and it’s never interfered with my Aimpoint. In fact, it has always helped me find zero, with the absolute co-witness. Besides, my other two uppers don’t have them. (9mm & an 18” 5.56). I plan on suppressing this one, eventually, and I don’t want to have to worry about clearances.

I ended up going with a Tacfire linear comp.

I love them BCM uppers on my SBRs.

This one is a Kino configuration; 12.5" barrel with mid-length front sight but with a carbine gas system.

This one is a 14.5" but with a mid-length gas system
