Just to be clear yes I am a paid spokesman of BCM - I am not impartial; I only affiliate with people and companies in the firearms industry that make excellent products and have great reputations
I make a very good living in the firearms industry; I have been on TV with my own shows for several years, I have products that I have designed ( such as my sling ) that are in use by militaries around the world, and I travel across the USA training people in combat marksmanship
If any of that makes you feel like you can't trust my word then trust me on this part; I'm already over it

Guys, stuff gets to a certain level of "goodness" and that's all she wrote - when everything detail of an upper (or a rifle) is sweated by pros, there's very little more that can happen. Once you're into the realm of all around excellent - best quality materials, best practices and expert assembly by people with decades of experience, comparison of excellent rifle 'A' to excellent rifle 'B' is kind of pointless, or is that just me?
I figured they were comparable. I know the specs are pretty much the same. Anyone who has seen both have any thoughts on them?
Not a fan of the "best practices" buzzword. It's rampant at my place of work. I generally mistrust that term. Soooo let me get this straight rather than letting me know what those practices are you are just going to tell me it's best practices? Well I'm relieved worst practices aren't being employed. The other popular answer:Hmm the answer to that question is "policy" is it? So which policy? Is that actual policy or perceived policy? Or is it just a convenient answer without actually answering anything? I don't like buzzwords that are used to answer something without answering it.
Sorry for the rant. I just hate the BS pseudo business model and the lingo that goes with it. Has nothing to do with the rifle, just a pet peeve of mine. Done venting.![]()
Just to be clear yes I am a paid spokesman of BCM - I am not impartial...
No I'm still here - I had a warm reception this year at One Shot Tactical's demo day and Farmboy has been a big supporter of my sling for many years
Ill be honest my bull#### meter is about pegged with some of the crap I see posted on the Internet so that is why I am so touchy these days
Jeff Cooper said it best ; ' The problem with the Internet is it is full of people who have nothing to say that say it anyway '
Well said Jeff, well said
Be safe

That's cool....nothing wrong with being a paid celebrity spokesman...lot's of my favourite celebrities endorse products. I own two George Foreman Grills and I bought a Porter Cable reciprocating saw just because Norm Abram made it look so cool.
What was Larry saying again?Yeah....favorite celeb eh?
Well...it *sounded* good...except for the fact that anyone with half a brain knows that Norm endorses Delta....never a Porter Cable Recip Saw.... But thanKs for coming out![]()
What was Larry saying again?
Norm's shop is filled with PC tools and PC was also a sponsor.

I didn't dig a hole, and I'm not backpedaling.
Like most thing in life, you get what you pay for.
A ~$400 upper made by anyone probably isn't as good as a ~$1000 upper made by the same company; therefore, one could assume that the $400 upper is crappy, or "crappier" than one that costs more.
Thanks. Looking forward to this!I figured the C8SFW upper/carbine would be popular in the great white North - I'll give Paul B at BCM a heads up to expect One Shot Tactical to be ordering some for you guys
Personally I want to shoot it to see what kind of accuracy I get out of it- barrels to weird things when weight/tension is applied at different points along its length- sometimes good things, sometimes not
We shall see
