Brownells is now offering the BCM AR-15 OEM RECCE Mid-Length Lightweight 16″ Rifle. This is an IEM rifle and “OEM” is becoming a marketing term for a carbine that comes complete and assembled but without a stock or hand guard. This allows the purchaser to configure these items as they see fit.
If you want a BCM AR-15 that is ready to be customized, this is it.
When a gun company comes out with a branded watch, most watch-guys probably roll their eyes. They are usually just rebranded fashion watches with all the quality of a trade show giveaway. BCM went a different route. Their new BCM Mk15 Tritium Watch is certainly not a cheap quartz rebrand. It is their design from the ground up and they even own the tooling!
This watch isn’t cheap but, in the world of watches, it isn’t expensive either. Judging by the feature set, they are actually delivering some very solid value for the asking price. Things like sapphire crystals with double AR coatings, Swiss movements, tritium, and 316L PVD cases built like this don’t come cheap. Check out the limited edition BCM Mk15 Tritium Watch.

Bravo Company Manufacturing’s KMR is revolutionary in how it uses advanced alloys and design to reduce weight. The problem is that they have not been able to keep up with the demand for the KMR due to the short supply of the alloy used in its construction. Their solution will be the introduction of the KMR Alpha – a rail with many of the same great features and relative lightweight but easily available aluminum construction.
The KMR Alpha will be available in 15, 13, 10, 9, and 7″ lengths. Each length weighs only slightly more than the magnesium alloy version of the KMR yet they cost significantly less. The prospect of more easily available and lower cost KMRs is exciting. I suspect that BCM will have a hit on their hands with the introduction of this new version of the KMR.
The new KMR Alphas are already listed on the BCM website but they are currently unavailable. Stay tuned for release information.
BCM just announced limited edition OCP camo-dipped versions of their forward and pistol grips. OCP versions of the GUNFIGHTER Grip Mod 0 and 3, GUNFIGHTER Vertical Grip, GUNFIGHTER Vertical Grip SHORT, and GUNFIGHTER Vertical Grip KeyMod are available now.
BCM announced that they will be producing AR-15s chambered in .300 AAC Blackout. There hasn’t been much news surrounding the 300BLK for some time now though it is still quite popular. This has the potential to really bolster the cartridge’s position as the most widely supported alternative caliber for AR-15s.
