Robocop1051 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'm sure at least one guy here has a decent muzzle device he might be willing to part with. I have two extra BCM pistol grips. A Mod-0 and a Mod-1. Neither were ever used. One is BLK and the other is FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 You need to consider the intent of the BCM grips, first. Modern military weapons handling, moving rapidly, and more important than not - arms in close to the sides, to they don't get shot. Moving your arms in close to your sides changes your grip angle. This grip benefits that.Are you doing that?... Do you need that?... There are lots of option out there, but you need to determine what you need, in order to determine what you need to buy.

That is precisely what I need. I have always run my ARs NTCH and my wrist had been killing me since 1989! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Doesn't matter where your nose is - where is your firing elbow? Where is your firing arm? Why is your firing arm where it is, when you fire? Is it from necessity (wearing body armor, must protect arms and keep them in)?...Another thing - why do you need a JP Enhanced bolt? What is your bolt not doing, that you need it to do, and that the JP does? save the money, and buy ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your bolt not doing, that you need it to do, and that the JP does? save the money, and buy ammo.Shooting:I was shooting with my elbows tucked and my nose to the charging handle before cellphones existed. No need to teach a weasel how to suck eggs ;)JP Bolt:However on the JP Bolt issue I will admit that I just don't like the way the DPMS bolt scuffs/chips the corners of the lugs from just a few sessions of racking the bolt and I imagine that it has to do with the 8620 steel it's made from and that if I bought a bolt made from tougher steel then it's just one less thing I need to worry about down the road.What I would really like to find is an extractor that was less likely to crap out than the usual DPMS type. I have thought about having my extractors magnetic particle inspected by a buddy who does NDT work for power plants..Ammo: I have a stockpile of Port, Hirtenberger, SA and LC Ball that I acquired in the days when MBR ammo was still $.13 per round. If I shot 500 rounds per month until Ragnarok I would still have enough LC Ball to shoot every Jötunn in Niflheim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to teach a weasel how to suck eggs ;)Not trying to teach anything - trying to find out if you have a shooting style that would make that grip angle beneficial, or not. Sounds like you'll like it - enjoy. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
