About the BCM® Standard 14.5" Mid Length ELW Complete Upper Receiver w/ KMR-A10 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.

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 per Mil-Spec. 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.

    Awesome quality

    Upper Assembly 5.56

    This is the second AR I have built with all BCM components. All are fantastic. I just wish I had been carrying this rifle during 1965 - 1972!

    Thank you, BCM!!

    The best I've ever shot!

    I purchased this upper as part of a build contest between several friends at work. The contest was to build a better patrol rifle then the colt 6940's that our agency issues to our deputies. A little back ground on me, I've been in law enforcement for 10 years and a member of my agaencies SWAT team for 2 years.

    This upper is absolutely fantastic!! I've put 1000 rounds through it so far without a single malfunction. It is the most accurate upper I've ever shot. I've built 6 AR's over the last several years and carry a colt 6940 on patrol and for SWAT. This upper is very light and well built. I can't speak highly enough about the quality. It was worth every penny!!

    The Best of the Best!

    Shipping--- fast/quality/well packaged. Impressed with this upper (as with every BCM product I own).

    After receiving this upper I will definitely be building more AR's with the lightweight/alpha setup. It is so incredibly light (lightest of any build I own) and flawless as far as the fit and finish.

    Loved the freebies they threw in the box too! Always a nice suprise! Great work as usual Bravo Company!!!

    My experience on the BCM shopping site was excellent. Better availability for the upper than most other sites.

    Great job, keep it going!

    The perfect carry rifle

    I paired this upper with a factory BMC Mod 0 lower. All the YouTube channels do a much better review than I can, but this lightweight combo is now my favorite AR to shoot of the ten I own. It's under 6 lbs with an Aimpoint T2, and just perfectly balanced. I like the ELE so much I bought two...a 14.5 and 16.

    Great upper from exceptional company

    I bought the BCM upper to put on my Spike's enchanced lower. The product shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. It was well packacked and came with many goodies. I have since put about 500 rounds throught it and it has operated flawlessly. BCM makes my favorite keymod handguard. It is slim, comfortable, and durable. Another great BCM experience and product.

    Great upper

    Shipping was fast and got a lot of extras (stickers, range cap etc..) in the box.
    So far I've only had time to zero it and put about 200 rounds through it. Per BCM reputation, it has been flawless. Very good upper, I wouldn't hesitate to go BCM if I ever build another.
