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.

    Best upper in the market

    I just admire BCM products and the company it represents. My upper is flawless. Added a PSA complete lower and I have yet to have an issue after 150 rounds. Wouldn't have purchased my upper anywhere else.

    Impressed !

    Super light upper and very thin rail. I love the feel of it and how much easier it is to maneuver with the rifle. Great fit to my ADM lower. Accuracy was fantastic, with a 2moa aimpoint and an ALG ACT trigger that has a 6'ish pound trigger, groups were around 2moa at 100yrds, sometimes smaller so awesome accuracy without any precision components. I ran 8-10 different types of ammo that ranged 55gr-75gr in 223 & 556 and from different manufacturers, all ran flawlessly, and I am using the ADM enhanced buffer that is 4.4z in a carbine buffer tube.

    Handles well

    I purchased this upper after running some rounds through a friends BCM. I put it on a PSA lower and man it fit like a dream. Its tight with very minimal movement. I got the gunfighter charging handle and the bcg to boot. I put some magpul iron sights on it, and it zeroed right in. I have put about 800 rounds through it since then with maybe 2 jams and those were due to some old junk mags. The only complaint i have is that the gas tube jiggles a bit and at first concerned me a tad but has not caused any problems. I highley recommend if your looking for a good upper and not trying to go into debt to put your money on this. also shipping is quick and they float some free merch with it.

    Fantastic Upper

    I got this to go on my Spike's Tactical lower that was built using a BCM lower parts kit.

    The upper is great quality and fits perfectly on the lower. I will be purchasing another BCM upper for my .300 BLK build as well.

    16" Mid Length Upper Receiver Group

    I couldn't be more happy with my upper receiver group. The fit and finish was exceptional and my first function testing out at the range was outstanding. The shooting characteristics and accuracy or impressive. I will be using bravo Company products for my next build without a doubt.
