Video unboxing of the BCL MDI COYOTE.

That has some interesting features. I like that the handguard attaches to tbe upper and isn't hanging off the barrel nut, it's very Aero Precision M4E1 (which works well).

Why wouldn't you want a 1:7 twist? Lets you run pretty much any weight of bullet. 1:7 works great in my Colt 6920...

A 1:7 prefers heavy projectiles, which are much more expensive to shoot. This is a budget gun, not sure why they wouldn’t choose a 1:8 which is better for lighter projectiles, like bulk 55gr, and is also a great twist for heavy stuff too. 1:7 is a one trick pony.
 
Rebarrel I would think should be no different then any other AR, though you would have to use the same barrel nut and handgaurd due to the design of the monolithic upper.
 
Wow, looks like 'precise tolerances' actually might mean that.

Big change for BCL - must be the new owner.

Good idea with the steel inserts for the take-down bolt.

Looking forward to some actual range tests for this.
 
How hard would it have been to put in a push button detent ball instead of the takedown screw , takedown shouldn't require tools

I second that. Plus even steel does strip out over time, if you have to tighten and undo it for every time you clean it.

This takedown screw really bothers me. There is no other components going across the slide between upper and lower, that means all the force that BCG imparts onto buffer/lower is going right up against that one tiny screw. Unless I am missing something else here, this is going to be a major point of failure.

I won’t make that call without testing it. I’m asking these questions because a friend might buy one and doesn’t and won’t use this site.
Personally I wouldn’t shoot anything with the intention to kill unless the rifle is a consistent 1moa at 100 yards. My modern sporter has some coyotes under her belt using 55gr vmax. I wouldn’t attempt anything past 250 yards with that load. My MS has a stainless ibi barrel, 1:8 twist, mid length gas. Using quality ammo the rifle is more accurate than I am, using bulk factory ammo I can still get her 1.5 moa and under.

Agree, when I had a MDI SLR when they first came out I made a point to not clean it as much so I wouldn’t have to take it down as often. Probably not the best practice, but I was also worried about stripping the take down threads.
I loved the way the upper and lower went together on those interlocking rails, I think that’s brilliant. It’s too bad they just couldn’t use a take down pin up front instead of a bolt.

And how much is your MS?

Why would all the force of a BCG going forwards and backwards be imparted on the screw? At the front the screw is going into a chunk of metal so all the imparted forward energy would go through that as a whole not the screw by itself.

Rearward the whole of the upper's rear is in contact with the lower so no different than any other rifle.

I was thinking the same thing. Tool-less takedown would be ideal but I'm happy to have one of these for the price. The ATRS is nice for sure, but the wait and price take it off my list for the moment. If the people complaining don't like the design, not sure why they would buy this at all.
 
It makes sense they would use a 1-7 twist. NEA barrels were all 1-7 and they shoot 55gr bulk ammo fine, and of course will shoot the heavier bullets well too.
