what's so special about their parts over psa?
>>
I don't know, how about you post it in the fucking AR thread dipshit
>>
The big, white "BCM"
>>
Better QA, mostly. Dealing with BCM is also more pleasant then PSA.
>>
Great products, awesome customer service and they actually ship parts in a reasonable time.
>>
>>28289916
quality control and higher standards
>>
>>28289916
PSA had to claw their way out of the budget segment with the Premium line and their prices are a result of that incremental search for a place in the saturated AR market. Long after their reputation was trashed by their earlier offerings (now Freedom and PTAC lines) you can now get a decent 5.56 upper or rifle from them.

BCM started out right with Mil-Spec+ rifles and uppers when the market was flooded with commercial offerings from other companies that were poor quality and used sub-standard components. They had a bang-up marketing department and endorsements from the right folk. Their prices reflect the status they earned even if it may not be as competitive now.

I used to recommend Colt all the time for starter ARs, but the market has caught up to them as well where a better rifle can be had for less money. However, their rifles still sell well because of the Colt name, much like BCMs do.

If people are buying your $600 rifle for $900 or, why lower the price?
>>
you can get your order in less than 2 weeks, (PSA handling time anyone?) like someone already said, better QA, thats about it

And this, they smell like clove smoked sex.

They are also quality as fuck as far as I can tell, put only about 600-800 rounds through mine so i really can't speak with 'authority' yet.

Bitchin' hat, stickers for my laptop, and posters too.
>>
You are paying for all the 'free' swag they send with your order. Larue does the same shit.
>>
Reminder that BCM was the PSA of AR15s before PSA caught on.

Nothing has changed, only PSA is a better PSA than BCM used to be so BCM proponents defend their brand with claims of illusory superiority.
>>
>>28289929
I hate it.

I'm going to fill it in on mine one of these days.

I never owned anything from BCM, how do they put the logo on their stuff?

Hey guys. Look what I'm gonna put on my rifle. Its going to serve the same purpose just as well as some $400 bullshit from DD.

Its a fucking metal tube with notches on it.

If it is, why have you to post about it in every AR related thread, desperate for others to validate your choice?
Protip: it isn't.

>Its a fucking metal tube with notches on it.

People have managed to fuck up simpler things.
Buy your cheap stuff, but don't try to rationalize it by saying it's "just as good". It usually isn't.
>>
>>28295498
>not M-LOK, Keymod, or all Picatinny

Trash.

If you can't afford a DD FSP rail, get the Midwest Industries one.

All my orders from PSA have taken three days from order to arrival. Maybe you shouldn't be a communist that lives outside of South Carolina.

>>28289938
>>28289976


This.


Also OP,>>28289916 BCM isn't expensive...I'm not trying to mock you for being poor, but your saying Toyota Tacoma's or Corolla are expensive.

PSA is like KIA
>>
>>28296644
Literally a communist that lives outside of South Carolina and their stuff gets to me in like 5 days.
>>
>>28299430
What exactly did PSA have trouble getting shipped out then?
>>
BCM puts much more effort into each part they make

Instead of batch testing their barrels, they test every barrel individually. The same goes for their bolts.

It's a matter of quality vs quantity

If BCM wanted to make a fat load of shitty rifles they could do that all day everyday. Instead, they chose to build a dedicated customer base by supplying tested and trusted products. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into their rifles. Of course they profit on them, but it's the attention to detail that's reflected in the price as well.
>>
>>28289929
This really is the reason.
>>
>>28289980

Their shipping really isn't as bad as the people on forums bitch about. I ordered a premium upper and rifle kit right after Sandy Hook and I got it in 3 weeks. Other firearm companies took months to ship.

Okay.

Except BCM doesn't make their bolts and barrels you fucking mong. Neither does PSA.

>>28295498
