Just bought a BCM 16” MCMR for work. Can’t carry it for a year or so but because of the stupid gun control bill that passed I had to get it now.

Anyone looking for a C7 upper, here you go.


Ordered one earlier myself, really happy with the order limit, should help kill scalpers and let the market equalize a bit

Bought one for $80 from Brownells on clearance a while back

What do y'all run for optics? Are you using back up irons? Absolute cowitness or lower 1/3? Running any sort of riser?

I was using a swampfox sentinel on a picatinny base for my AR9. I felt awfully scrunched down to get a sight picture. I put the swampfox on my glock MOS after I bought a holosun with a riser base (used, unknown riser base company) Previously, I had bought Troy Micro folding irons and thought I would use them all in conjunction with each other. The troys won't work with the holosun and riser. They're too short. So, get a different riser or different irons.

Long story short, I'm going to keep the riser and sell the Troy's. So, if anyone is interested, I have a set of brand new, never mounted Troy's.

Now I'm wondering what back up irons to go with. I'll have to figure out what brand or at least how tall this riser is, so as to get an appropriate cowitness.

I run a trijicon MRO on my 12.5 . The riser is a Lareu Qd high mount. I want to shoot heads up not scrunched. Also easier with NODS. I run 45 of set sights on the same AR just incase the MRO goes down.

Just ordered a Vortex SPARC Solar red dot for the AR. Just the right features and price point that I don’t feel like I’m completely cheaping out. Seems like a big jump to Trijicon or Aimpoint.
That’s a good optic. You won’t be disappointed.

Currently running MRO 1.93 scalarworks mount no back up do have a pair of magpul mbuis laying around but I like my light switch forward so never put them on

Most likely going to be swapping it to razor 1-6 lpvo in near future when I feel like lighting some $$ on fire.
