    Anyone Have a BCM "Blem" Lower?

    I've been thinking of getting one because they're significantly cheaper, but they dobn't have pictures of them. Are they absolutely horrible or are they not too bad? This is going to be for a build that I'm going to run hard and abuse so I don't need it too look pretty, but I also don't want it to look like a piece of junk. If anyone has pics that'd help.

    Thanks.

    I dont have one, but Ive been told they are just minor cosmetic blems. I would guess in the anodizing, and probably nothing you can't just touch up yourself.

      I bought a Beretta "blem" 92FS several years ago and I'm yet to find the blem.

        I got one from a group buy a year or two ago. I'm yet to find that "blem". However, now that it's becoming a part of an AR pistol, it'll have plenty of "blems"

        Correction - I was talking about a BCM upper. It does help to read the title.

          I bought a Blemish lower from Tactical Machining (TM10), the only blem I can see is a tiny little nick which you can't even tell unless you look for it.

            I bought a blemished BCM lower from G&R Tactical. I really couldn't find anything that I personally would call a blemish. A couple of small specks that I had to feel with my fingers and were only visible from a certain angle were all I could guess were the blemish.

            I would not hesitate to get another.

              So I've been doing more research and I'm coming up with the same things as you guys. It just seems weird that they knock off a whole 25% for blemishes that people seem to have a hard time finding. Maybe I will pick up a couple then

                My friend has one. Didn't find any blems on it other than very slight spot about the size of a pencil eraser that was slightly blacker. The spot was on the tang for the pistol grip though so it's covered anyway

                  There was a guy, that had a definitive answer to this question and was posting a whole lot lately, until...

                  Hope he wasn't totally discouraged and comes back.

                    It says alot about a companies QC when a near perfect lower is considered a blem.

                      I heard a rumor that the blems are usually just a slightly different shade than they like. Which would make sense since nobody ever finds anything of actual substance

                        The same guy also sells more BCM Blems than anyone else, and for a killer price. He'd probably know more about BCM Blems than almost anyone else. But, if he were to tell you about them, people would call him a liar, a shill, and then ban him when he sticks up for himself.

                        CGN members make alot of good people want to leave sometimes. Dont worry, I have it on good authority that he will in fact be back.

                              Yeah, sort of like Randall of AR15 barrels? ):

                              Sometimes it does seem like the forums need more moderation when there are true SME here vs. fanboys.
