Video unboxing of the BCL MDI COYOTE.

[Superfly999]

I’d buy it. Hope it works great and they sell a boat load!

 

[Sinasta]

Looks like they retained some of that previous business weirdness.

A 20"(ish) barrel with a mid-length gas system?

That ridiculous in-house designed charging handle with the pantie-liner sized wings?

Can't wait for all of the problem threads followed by a bucket load of these things getting dumped on the EE for 2/3 their purchase price...


NEA - Keep on keepin' on.

Yup, seems like BCL only stocks midlength gas tubes. But more likely they’re afraid they were going to have reliability issues with a rifle length so they chose to have it over gassed at midlength.

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.

100% this, it boggle my mind honestly, cause part from that that gun look very very good, if reliability holds up!

I will also had that crazy looking break! Id probably change that before even taking it out the box

 

[mclmm]

They should've used a longer brake. Way too short.

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 suppose that any bounce back force might be measurable, but the majority of that force would be developed by the bolt-carrier and the buffer assembly moving back to firing position. Wouldn't the bulk of the force be translated directly into the lower during firing if everything is seated correctly? There is definitely a difference between a single screw and a pair of takedown pins where shear is concerned. I guess time will tell, but I have a fully paid preorder from months back. Willing to take the hit for science.

I sold my SLR receiver set almost immediately after purchasing it because of this takedown screw. Didn't trust the design and didn't want to be the one to find out.

I knew the Wailing and Gnashing would continue...change the Brake ??? I'd like to try it first to see how it works.

Please, keep the mud slinging down at least until we get those inevitable third person accounts of how a New Coyote flattened the County when it detonated like a small Nuke.

I do have to agree though that the Mid-length Gas System is a bit mental.

If I had the green I'd be scooping one of these and a 22"-24" 224 Valkyrie Barrel.

I figure if the accuracy of the factory .223 barrel isn't what I'd like, I'll prob do another upper with a match grade barrel in 224 V.

I'm not sure about Wailing and Gnashing teeth...but I do kinda think it's funny that they continue on with some of the stuff they put on their guns.
I get that putting on a so, so quality barrel and some of the other choices they make are about costs, but I find it hard to believe stuff like a basic AR kit charging handle is more expensive than the one they dreamt up and Rifle-length gas isn't any cheaper or more expensive than the way they did it, so one really has to wonder where their head space is at.
Surely out of all the people they employ they could cobble together at least one AR guy that has that second sober thought process that could say "yeah, guys? this mid-length gas for a full length barrel thing is pants-on-head retarded"

 

[redshooter]

Yes it is hard to get your head around.

 

[s2000ron]

you guys think I can put a Pantheon Dolos takedown kit and replace handguard

I do agree. I do find there handgard mounting a good sounding Idea! Now is it a case of a solution for a non existing problem? I don't know.

My guess is that the mid length fits their new piston system, which fits their new handguard, which has a port for adjustments.

Everything I've heard says it's a proprietary frontend, so it wouldn't.
