    I don't really care for BCM lower since the upper assembly is most important. However, if BCM stripped lowers are readily available for purchase in CA at local AR specialty shops, I will buy some since it's nice to have a complete or 2 rifles from 1 manufacturer.

      I just bought a DD upper from SmartGunner. The 16" with DD omega x 12" rail, a2 fh, bcg and CH was 693, which was considerably cheaper than a similarly configured bcm. From what I gather from this site their quality is neck and neck so you're paying extra for the logo. Unless DD customer service is not that great.

        I should have clarified. I'm putting together a complete LMT carbine right now. Once that's finished I'll go back to the mixed breeds

          I owned a BCM M4 upper (no longer do). Fit and finish is great, better than my CMMG.

          It seems to be a quality rifle to from the specs listed. Better than that of DPMS or Delton.

                I think you made an excellent choice!
                Using gun control to stop crime is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline!

                  I guess im getting a rock river flattop midlegnth upper with midwest free float rail and a wilson combat rear sight.

                  Is this a good set up. I'm getting it cheaper then the bcm

                      Value is a subjective term.

                      But for the cheapest standard, good quality upper...
                      I would say Spikes or BCM.
                      I have a Spikes middy and I love it.

                            I drank the BCM kool-aid and it was delicious..
                            Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.
