BCM 14.5" Carbine Light Weight

I think you may save a little more weight by going with either a a1 or a mil spec collapsing stock.

If you don't mind sharing, how much did she pay for the BCM upper?

No worries, I believe it was $620ish shipped

$400 stripped upper
$45 pinned
$140 BCG
$23 carry handle
M4 hand guards I had.....

Its all on their websie http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-S...g-car-14lw.htm

Heres my combo:

BCM Midlength upper
VTAC Handguard
DD Rear Iron Sight
Cavalry Arms CAV-15 Lower



Awesome light, dont have any hard numbers for you guys though.

Nice build man; I'm working on a lightweight build too, but I'm going with a polymer lower, which saves a ton of weight. Plumcrazy and New Frontier Armory both claim their lowers to weight 1.6 lbs, so if you ever decide to cut some weight...

Very cool build.

I am fascinated by rifles that are compact and super light.


At 6.3lbs it must feel really nice and well balanced.

Makes me wonder if one can be built for more money of course but under 5lbs?

Very nice upper, I have one that shoots like a dream.

+1. I have one with all MOE furniture and a DD fixed rear sight. Its so fast and light. My gf loves it too and shes threatening to steal it from me. Guess that means I have to build another one for myself, oh well. Great choice!

The rifle looks really nice. But why the barrel looks more than 14.5inch long? My 14.5 inch barrel AR rifle looks shorter. Maybe my eyes are not good enough.

Is yours a mid-length gas system? Does it have a free float hand guard over a low-pro gas block?

No, the same carbine length gas system. I just measure the length from the front of A2 sight block to crush washer(including crush washer length), it is 4.75inch, same as that of my middies and rifles. The OP's barrel length looks close to my 16'' M4gery.
