About the BCM® BFH 14.5" Mid Length ELW Complete Upper Receiver w/ KMR-A13 Handguard

All BCM® Upper Receiver Groups with a KMR-A Handguard Include:

  • One 3" Picatinny Rail Section
  • One BCM KeyMod Sling Mount

Manufactured by Bravo Company MFG, Inc. (BCM)

These Barreled Upper Receiver Groups are designed for shooting professionals and responsible civilians with the Mil-Spec features for the demands of their duty. They are fully assembled, headspaced, and test fired.
 
As a note: BCM barrel components are parkerized separately before assembly. Prior to shipping, all BCM upper receiver groups are test fired for function, laser bore sighted with a Milspec carry handle for sight alignment within Mil-Specs, and then batch samples are test fired for accuracy. As such, the upper receiver group will show handling marks consistent with these quality control procedures.

Cold Hammer Forged Barrels

This process of manufacturing barrels has been used for European small arms for generations, and it is gaining popularity in the United States because of the increased barrel life and outstanding accuracy of a hammer forged barrel. The BCM BFH series of barrels are made right here in the USA. (Just like all the BCM products.)

M4 Feed Ramp Barrel Extension and Upper Receiver

In developing the USGI M4 carbine as one of the primary weapons for today's infantry, some modifications were performed to the original M16 platform to enhance the reliability of the shorter barreled carbines. With the shorter carbine gas system and the increased gas port pressure, the carbine cycled faster, and at times the cycle rate could be faster than the magazine would feed ammunition. One of the modifications done to increase reliable feeding included enhancing the angle and the length of the feed ramps.
 
This USGI modification was done to both the barrel extension and the upper receiver, creating a longer and steeper feed ramp. These Mil-Spec M4 feed ramps are part of the original CNC manufacturing process. As a result, the factory machined M4 feed ramps on the receiver are hard coat anodized which adds significant strength to the aluminum. This feature is offered on all BCM upper receivers and all BCM barrels.

T-Marked Upper Receiver

The contemporary M16/M4 rifle is built around the concept of modularity. All of the BCM flat top uppers feature a USGI type laser etched T-marks to provide addressing for the remounting of tactical accessories such as optics, laser sights, etc. This enables the weapon platform to be easily configured and then accurately reconfigured for each specific mission.

USGI 1/7 Twist Rate

The USGI 1/7 twist rate of all of the BCM barrels is the preferred twist rate by most professional infantryman. This twist rate has proven very versatile and can effectively run the new heavier 5.56 ammo that is hugely popular with military, private security personal, and personal defense for its' superior ballistics.

Mil-Spec Barrel Steel (Certified Mil-B-11595E)

BCM barrel steel is Mil-Spec per MIL-B-11595E, and is independently certified. This grade (CMV) of steel is a Mil-Spec steel used in the USGI M16 family of rifles; it is stronger and will last longer than the typical barrels offered in the commercial market. This Mil-Spec grade steel gets its' additional strength and rigidity from an increase in carbon and/or vanadium in the alloy. This will offer increased barrel life and performance through use in all types of extreme environments and temperatures.

Chrome Bore and Chamber

One of the first modifications that were made to the original M16 in the mid 1960's was the addition of the chrome lined bore and chamber. It is now a worldwide standard in the industry for a battle rifle. The chrome bore and chamber is harder than the barrel steel and will aid in chambering, extraction, and reliability. It increases velocity, and also resist against fouling and corrosion from extended use in the field. This gives the end user a longer barrel life with less required time in maintenance and cleaning.

Manganese Phosphate Barrel Finish

Barrels are parkerized with the manganese phosphate finish (Mil-Spec A-A-59267). Military specifications also state that the entire barrel surface is phosphate finished to create a porous surface to absorb oil as to resist against corrosion from the elements. BCM barrels are phosphated before installation of front sights. This is a much more extensive assembly operation, but insures that the entire barrel is finished and protected . . .even under the front sight base.

5.56 NATO Chambers

The USGI 5.56 NATO chamber is the best choice for effective deployment, reliability, and compatibility, of higher chamber pressures of military or high quality personal defense ammounition. 

HPT / MP Inspected Barrels

Military specifications require that barrels undergo a HPT (High-Pressure Test) load as a part of quality assurance procedures. Commonly referred to as a proof load, the M197 HPT is rated for 70,000 psi. BCM barrels are proof loaded and then MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspected) to detect any possible flaws in the barrels surface. The barrels are MP inspected with both circular and longitudinal magnetic fields per ASTME1444-01 (current Mil-Spec) to assure a high quality finished product. All BCM barrels are marked HP MP as our proof load marking.

    Very satisfied

    I have purchased several items from Bravo over the last few years. Including the lower to go with the product above. Their service is excellent, and, of course, their products are the best available. Highly recommend them.

    Great quality, as expected, as advertised

    This upper has a noticeable weight reduction. keymod attachments fit nice and tight. The circumference of the rail is a bit narrower than many others, which helps to get a better grip, but still allows for attaching anything you can imagine since the rail has attachment points on all angles. great product, money well spent. BCM's attention to detail is obvious.

    Top notch quality again

    This is my 3rd BCM upper. 1 was an original KMR, then a LW with FSB and now the newest is a KMR-Alpha. BCM is where I always look first for quality, fit and finish products.

    Awesome service

    I ordered a complete upper. I have yet to install it however I received it faster than expected and it came with a free beanie. Not that a beanie means a lot but small things like that shows he company cares about the customers satisfaction. Not the first time I’ve purchased from them and won’t be the last!

    No Other Option

    They say in the sales or customer service industry, you know success has been reached when your customers come to you because in their mind there is simply no other option. BCM has achieved this, at least with me. When it comes to DI weapon systems, the products and customer service cannot be matched, at any price.

    BCM BFH 14.5" Mid Length (ENHANCED Light Weight) U

    I've never purchased a complete upper assembly before. I normally assemble my ARs out of individual select parts. Anyway, WOW! I put over 1000 rds through it the first week. Dialing it in with optic(s) and such then training for a shooting eval at work. The thing is bullet proof solid. I couldn't be happier. It is very nimble/light. I love the KMR-A and it has become my standard rail on all of my different ARs. Cost is definitely reasonable. Great upper, I will definitely look to BCM for future purchases.

    Great product

    I am extremely happy with this upper receiver! I am very impressed by its significant weight reduction (wish I had one of these on some of our forced marches). The KMR ALPHA 13 is the perfect application for what I intend to use the riffle for. BCM processed and shipped my order with a sense of purpose and I could not ask for better customer service.

    Excellent Upper Receiver Group!

    I purchased this upper receiver group to complement a complete BCM carbine lower receiver I had ordered through my local dealer. The resulting carbine is very easy to handle, suprisingly accurate, and extremely smooth shooting. I had some trepidations about the mid length gas system on a 14.5" barrel, as well as pinned/welded muzzle devices as a whole. I can assure you those feelings are completely unfounded. Bravo Company left nothing on the table with this barrel countour, gas system, and muzzle device. Paired with the superb KMR rail system, and BCM's own very comfortable furniture, this is a carbine that handles like an Italian sportscar.
