Wow Gary, we do have similiar tastes I think. I bought a BCM Mid-lenght complete AR after researching long and hard. Also after having several other brands (Colt, RRA, BushMaster), they were nice guns, but wanted to jam more than I liked. Nothing major, but I wanted as close to 100% as I could get.

As I mentioned, I have one of my best high school friends who now lives in Ogden Utah, and is on the Salt Lake City SWAT team. I presented him with my dilema and he mentioned that they had a AR guru on the squad. Supposedly knew everything about everything concerning AR's. He told me he would ask for a recommendation for a complete AR production purchase. Conclusion came back to buy a complete BCM rifle. I took his recommendation and went with it, and haven't looked back. Everything mil-spec on the BCM's which I liked very much. As Gary mentioned, the upper to lower fit isn't super tight, but boy, this thing is dead nuts reliable. I have even had to use some of the old crap ammo from time to time, and she eats that stuff up. Just have to make sure I clean it really good after that. Haven't thought about another AR purchase after having this one. This is the one for me, no doubts, and I will agree with Gary, BCM comes highly recommended.

Here is a pic I took after a cleaning with my Glock 34. My BCM has Troy Ind, folding front and rear battle sights, troy front vertical grip, Larue Tactical rail index clips, optic is a Leatherwood Hi-Lux CMR (Close-Medium Range) 1-4x24 Illuminated reticale scope, with a Burris mount.
