Big Jay 0 Posted January 10, 2013 Well, I had one thing left on my list of firearms. That last item was to re-furb my current outdated M4 AR. It has an M4 gas system which i find just too snappy. Today I saw an opportunity and jumped on it. I purchased: 14.5" BCM BFH M4 Barrel w/ Mid-Length Gas System BCM Mid-Length Gas Tube BCM .750 Low-Pro GB It will all be mated to my existing BCM upper Soon I will be removing: 14.5" Bushmaster Barrel w/ NJ legal cage brake YHM bolt on FSB/GB with flip up BUIS Troy MRF 7" Battle Rail All goodies will be for sale shortly in the classified forum. Gotta get on that premium membership. In the past month I've bought: M1A SOCOM - $1750 3 G17 mags blocked to 15 - $30 a piece (reasonable I feel) = $90 2 M1A 10 round mags - $60 (also reasonable, given they are SA) AR Parts above - $410 Ouch. At least I can rest easy knowing if i need to sell later on I could! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n4p226r 105 Posted January 11, 2013 What was wrong with the other barrel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Jay 0 Posted January 11, 2013 What was wrong with the other barrel? It's a carbine length gas system. I wanted a mid-length. After shooting a mid-length, it's like apples and oranges...to me at least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BionicBelly 0 Posted January 13, 2013 I was looking at that BCM mid-length as well, but i would prefer the standard mainly because of the $70 difference. To a casual shooter like me i don't think a hammer forged barrel is necessary, but who knows when they will be in stock again. Very tempting though because not many are out there in stock atm.

n4p226r 105 Posted January 15, 2013 what are you looking to get for it? just needs a bolt/carrier group i guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Jay 0 Posted January 15, 2013 what are you looking to get for it? just needs a bolt/carrier group i guess I have an LMT BCG already. Basically, all I need is to decide on a rail. Trying to decide between a 12" Centurion C4 or 12" Troy MRF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Jay 0 Posted January 16, 2013 http://www.rainierar...product_id=3112 Trying to stay away from proprietary barrel nut systems. If I went with a proprietary barrel nut system i think I'd probably go DD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Jay 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Last component ordered: Centurion Arms C4 12" Rail. Looks like I may have got the last one in-stock at brownells. Anyone have a stock barrel nut they'd part with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
