  • Range and table top comparison of the BCM and Daniel Defense platforms. I cover the difference features both BCM and Daniel Defense have to offer, and my opinion of the BCM Recce and DDM4 V7. When it comes to accuracy, reliability, and raw performance I find Bravo Company and Daniel Defense both close, but it the different options the two AR15 manufacturers offer that set them apart from each other. The DDM4 series has more ambidextrous features including an ambi safety and charging handle. BCM offers an ambidextrous charging handle, but not on all AR 15 builds. Bravo Company also only provides a right hand safety. Barrels, bolt carrier groups, and build materials are all high quality.

    The big UA-cam channels have taught me you can't run BCM or DD unless you also have a Geiselle trigger and Primary Arms optic. Is that correct? (tounge-n-cheek)

      :) the industry is full of “must have” upgrades, especially with Glocks and ARs. I actually was running factory milspecs in both of these for the review to level the playing field. I almost didn’t even notice not having my Geiselle in my BCM, especially when shooting on the move. Geiselles are nice though. I’m of the “ammo over upgrades” mentality if budget makes me choose. Thanks for stopping by Graham.

    BCM all the way. Daniel Defense cares about nothing but their sweet government contracts. They work with the ATF and openly support them, which means they openly support the rights of the people being taken little by little. BCM won a contract for the Milwaukee Police Department. The police chief voted in favor of a AR ban, and BCM pulled out of the contract. They will only sell rifles to agencies if the civilians in that state can own the same rifles.

I also run a discontinued Burris 1.5-8x CQ-Mil scope in ADM QD mount with back up irons. I routinely get 0.5"-0.75" five shot groups. shooting 77 grain OTM's and routinely hit 18" steel silhouettes at 830 yards with the above set up. Today i shot 1MOA with 62 grain M855 GGG ammo. The BCM runs better dirty than my DD V11 Pro and Noveske 18" SPR but that may be because they utilize longer gas systems.
    I have Noveske, DD, PWS, Rainier Arms etc... the BCM mentioned above is my overall favorite hands down because of the incredibly accuracy, reliability, and light weight package. This former operator chooses BCM.

      @@markbean1623 one thing to consider when selecting a barrel is whether or not you're planning on running a suppressor down the road. According to BCM's website the ELW barrels aren't recommended for use with suppressors because of a more significant point of impact shift once everything heats up. My understanding is that the govt profile and SOCOM barrel offerings are better choices if running suppressed. However, I can tell you from experience that the ELW barrel balances like a chef's knife, in comparison with the govt profile (which isn't heavy at all either) so it really comes down to whether you want to ever own suppressor, and whether the extra point of impact deviation matters to you.

      It may be a case of convincing myself of money well spent, so I may be bias but it seems perfect for a home defense shot and is worlds above any of the many handguns I've shot (again, with the possible exception of the hair-trigger heritage 22 wheel gun)

      Also consider a Smith and Wesson M&p sport 2 and spend your extra money on ammo and training. You'll feel much better that way and you'll have a fully capable rifle especially for enrty level 👍 as a tip, don't stress red dots so much either, get your gun, a good white light to attach and a sling and then rock out!

    i have been a DD fanboy for years. I recently was in the market for a new gun, so I figured i'd finally give the BCM a chance. I ordered it exactly how I wanted it (I like the customizing options BCM gives you). I received it, it was absolutely dripping in oil, which prompted me to take it apart and clean some of it off. Took out the BCG (lots of resistance), the firing pin was jammed so tight into the bolt that it was not allowing the bolt or firing pin to move freely. I immediately emailed them (you can't call them anymore), and after a couple days and a few emails back and fourth, they decided to send me a whole different BCG, and let me send the other one back. I received the "new" BCG, and although it's much better and functioning, it has a bunch of carbon build up where the back end of the bolt rides in the BCG. There is NO way that these are new BCG's. Both have signs (the first one was way more noticeable) of wear where the run into a magazine. They say they're test fired, I get that... but with WHAT? 2,000 rounds in a machine gun?
    On another note, the DD feels way more robust. I do have the RIS 3 and my buddy has the MK18, so those rails are just extremely well built, rugged as it gets, but it's honestly a night and day difference. With the DD, you can tell that it will go to war with you, the BCM, I just can't say it feels all that robust. I actually would say my Zion feels a bit more robust than the BCM.
    Just so we're clear, I don't hate the BCM, I just don't feel it should be anywhere near discussions of being on par with a DD. You can tell they're going for two totally different achievements. Would I buy a BCM over mostly everything else? Probably. Would I compare it to DD, Absolutely not.

    Accuracy wise ? Daniels Defense ( DDM4 can print 1 7/8" groups vs my Colt LE6940 2 " 5 shot groups- equal to my BCM with the C8 sfw upper and my " lowly" Spikes Tactical M4LE firing remington 55gr 5.56 range ammo.)
    Maybe I don't know any better, but the 4 carbines are all rugged, well built and more accurate than i can probably shoot.
    Buy what you can afford. That's the best - I would look elsewhere though on the newer colt CR6920s...

      Has BCM quality control gone down hill? Seems to be more complaints about them lately. I guided my brother in the direction of a BCM bcg awhile back and the bolt felt like it was binding in the carrier. Sure as shit when we pulled the bolt out the gas rings came flying off the bolt.
