We need one.

Sold out as I was trying to check out just now.

Back to waiting for the email notification. Good work BCM... keep em coming for the slow guys like me.

I saw it up since the email...contemplated for 4 hours...

I figured if it took me that long I could wait...

I'm sure those uppers will be in stock for days...well until MD guys start running a new kit.

Anything those MD guys touch turns into unobtanium...

Just hope it isn't as long of a wait again until the next batch are ready.

Yeah i was on duty when I got the email, called as soon as I got off duty. Out of stock. I would put one of these to good use if BCM ever makes more than 5 at a time. I've been on the email list for about 6 months.

Yeah, same here only because I knew how long they'd been OOS and how quickly they'd sell out.

that would be sick if they offered the 13" troy Vtac rail on the 14.5" middys as I prefer it over the 11"

Got one! Got the email notification and made the purchase on my phone while working first watch. Good thing I was working or I'd have been fast asleep and missed it again.

Of course it was two days after I broke down and got the standard weight upper.

Could not help it...

Now out if stock....dang these things do fly....

Rides, what configuration did you go with regarding muzzle device?

I was this close to having a BCE 1.5 pinned, but I have an extra AAC SPR MITER I'm going to use...

Are these things back on sale again? I paid $444 2 weeks ago after waiting for what seems like a year. Now 2 weeks later its back to the price it was all of last year.

I am looking at their site right now and the 14.5" "standard" midlength uppers are in stock for $399, lightweight or standard profile.

DT2186 [Member]

3/23/2011 2:09:52 PM

all i have to do is, shave the gas block, put a rail on it and pin the A2x i got with it. I'm thinking a KAC URX II rifle length would go perfect.

AchNgnt [Team Member]

I ordered mine at 0745, got shipping confirmation at 0915 and will probably receive it in about 9 days.

Freaking Hawaii....

P.S. the trick is to get wife approval AFTER you order. That's the only way....

Sorry bro, there's more than a few people running LW middys here.

I like it a lot. I've run several different middy configs in the past and I like this the best. I hate to say it, but I prefer the LW over my SR15 at this point... it's noticeably lighter than a standard BCM middy in the same configuration (I switched them out to check) and way lighter than a lightly accessorized SR15 (optic, VFG, scout, CTR). I used to run Noveske basic light carbines that felt like they balanced out a bit better due to the FSB sitting closer to the fulcrum, and the light stock I'm using on this one... but the weight felt about the same, and of course those weren't middys.

Where at in Hawaii?

Very nice.

I have yet to see a 14.5" light weight on the site for sale. What are you guys buying? I see a 14.5" government profile, but not a light weight.
