I just ordered and received my BCM M4 upper, but now I am reconsidering. This will be my first rifle that I am putting together (though I own a bushmaster M4) and decided to order the M4 because I like the weight and look. Now I realize I may have jumped the gun, and after doing research most here say the mid-length due to the gas tube is more reliable. Since I have an M4, and want to build the most reliable (and reasonably priced M4) I'm thinking about returning it (just got it yesterday and have not even pinned it to a lower. I know these upper's are hard to come by, is it really that much of a reliability difference to justify me returning/selling my BCM M4 and trying to find a mid-length? I really like the light weight of the M4, but admittedly, I have not handled a light barrel middy. The only mid-length I see in stock is the hammer forged which is $90 more and I'm not sure if that is worth it. Thanks for the help.
Bravo has the 14.5 light wt middie standard in stock
I'd get a return authorization and trade that M4 in on one ...be sure to get the flash hider of your choice pinned on if you do ....
Why? ..imo the 14.5 light wt is just a tad handier...if that means anything to your needs/wants...and it sounds as though you really want one anyway so you may as
well get it now while you can still exchange yours at Bravo rather than waiting and then losing even more money trying to sell yours and buying a middie...
