AR parts question (Bravo Company)

[HuttoAg96]

You can get a Bravo Company upper receiver group with an M16 BCG and stock charging handle for 520 (this is minus handguards, which are about $20 for a get-in-the-game basic set). Does the upper receiver group, BCG, and charging handle constitute a complete upper? Can I throw that on a complete lower and be good-to-go?

My thinking is that I can get that set of components along with a blemished Bravo complete lower receiver (270) and end up with a new Bravo Company AR for about 800 bucks. That seems like a great price for what seems to be regarded as a top-tier AR manufacturer.

Their normal Mod 0 carbine lists on their site for $1025.

That should be it except for the handguards for the complete upper. You can also check out Stag Arms for some of their uppers, they can be had stock for a fair price and can upgrade on their site most of the components.

You will need a rear site as well.

Do it with complete confidence. BCM is absolutely the best value going, and you will be making no sacrifices in quality.

I ended up getting a BCM upper through one of their distributors (G&R Tactical) because G&R had the mid-length light weight upper in stock, and BCM did not. I'm eventually going to put optics on it so for now I ordered a magpul rear sight and a few magpul PMAGs. My AR-crazy uncle, who owns 5 of them, is going to help me assemble a lower from a stripped lower and a RRA parts kit. I am going nuts I am so excited about this... I can't wait for all this stuff to come in.

I've done business with G&R and they have great service. I also got a BCM recently, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for all the advice. I went a little over budget but I feel like I'll be getting a quality gun without going too far on the law-of-diminishing-returns curve. Can't wait to shoot it.

Better to go a little over budget, the first time and do it right then have to do it over. You will have a quality rifle when you have it together. Congrats on your first one... just be careful they multiply

I think I am about $1200 or so into my AR and still don't have any optics...

20" BCM upper with the M16 BCG and a whole lotta chrome...

Ya but you bought every blinged out part on the planet. You could stick that rifle up Satin's @$$ and your only worry would be the smell. :-)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The distributor is back-ordered as well... says he expects another one if 4 weeks or so. Looks like I have to wait a bit longer :-(

Good things come to those who wait

no, Brad coated it with anti-smell coating... as long as I don't stick it up past the handguard I should be ok... lol
