Bravo Company USA Bravo Company USA, Inc. Was founded in 2003 by a veteran United States Marine in Hartland, WI. 877- BRAVO CO or [email protected] (no PM's) youtu.be/irVtjcIa828. America's # 1 Online Retailer of Firearms, Ammunition and Accessories. Largest Selection, Lowest Prices, and A+ Rated Service by the BBB.
(BCM) was founded in 2005 by Marine-turned-gun-builder Paul Buffoni in Hartland, Wis. Buffoni took the name from his first assigned unit in the U.S. Marine Corps. BCM builds weapon systems that are manufactured so that all specifications meet or exceed all military and law enforcement standards. Buffoni also runs Bravo Company USA, which handles and sells parts, accessories and upper receivers. The company is an authorized distributor for over a dozen other major manufacturers.BCM has taken a hard stance on gun rights.
The company had been selected to replace the patrol carbines in use by the Milwaukee Police Department. However, after learning that Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn had testified in favor of a proposed assault weapons ban, Bravo Company withdrew its bid and publicly stated they will no longer do business with the department, with the exception of warranty work on the BCM carbines the department already owned.Carbines & Uppers. New to the Bravo Company line-up are the BCM Recce carbines. This configuration has an extended handguard over a low-profile gas block and is available in 14.5-inch and 16-inch barrel lengths.
Standard versions utilize 11595E barrel steel with a 1-in-7-inch twist rate, the same found on issue M16/M4 rifles and carbines. These have been found to bestronger and more durable than many commercial barrels due to high concentrations of carbon and vanadium in the alloy.
The BCM Recce 16 Precision is machined from 410 stainless steel, button rifled at a 1-in-8-inch twist and hand-lapped. The 410 stainless barrel steel provides a balance of weight and accuracy, and is harder and more corrosion resistant than the more conventional 416 stainless found in other precision barrels.The BCM Recce series is fitted with BCM’s KeyMod rail system constructed of a new magnesium alloy offering the strength of aluminum with 30-40 percent less weight. Also included are the BCM Gunfighter Stock, pistol grip (Mod 3), compensator and ACT/Geissele trigger. Complete BCM Recce uppers and their individual components can also be purchased as separate items.
“New to the Bravo Company line-up are the BCM Recce carbines. This configuration has an extended handguard is available in 14.5-inch and 16-inch barrel lengths.”BCM also sells ready-to-shoot uppers with the same features as its complete rifles, including KeyMod and Picatinny rails. The company uses U.S.-made cold-hammer-forged barrels, known for having increased barrel life and accuracy compared to other hammer-forged barrels.
In an effort to enhance reliability, a longer and steeper feed ramp extension aids feeding, especially important in carbines known for increased gas port pressure and cycle rates.All of the BCM flattop uppers feature laser-etched “T” marks to make consistent remounting of sights and accessories easier. Standard uppers match or exceed G.I. Specs, with a 1-in-7-inch twist, CMV-grade steel, chromed bore and chamber, standard profile and 5.56mm NATO chamber. Barrels are subjected to the M197 high-pressure test load, rated for 70,000 psi, and then undergo magnetic particle inspection to detect any possible flaws in the barrel’s surface.Accessories. One of BCM’s more interesting components is its use of the KMR (KeyMod Rail) system found on its handguards and compatible accessories. The trademarked KeyMod was designed by Eric Kincel, BCM’s director of research and development, and represents the company’s approach to increasing modularity.The KeyMod utilizes a series of key-shaped holes with the surfaces chamfered and tapered to ensure no slippage during recoil.
The V-block design ensures the part will return to the same position when removed and remounted. Unlike a Picatinny rail, KeyMod components mount flush on the rail, instead of on an extended protrusion. This controlled-depth feature allows for mounted hardware to sit at a much lower profile on or inside the handguard.
The surface chamfering ensures the mounted part stays solidly in place by eliminating slop found between rail gaps and crossbolts. Plus, the round shape braces in all axes. BCM offers gauges and inspection procedures when making KeyMod components using standard angle cutters, making this an affordable option for other makers. This isn’t designed to replace the Picatinny rail, rather it adds to it.
Also, one of the available KeyMod accessories is attachable sections of Picatinny rail, so a KeyMod handguard can have exactly the right amount of rail in the best place for you while the rest of the surface is svelte and handy.As for BCM’s rail, it is constructed of a magnesium alloy with the same strength as aluminum but weighing 30-40% less. For example, a BCM 13-inch handguard weighs only 7.7 ounces with the mounting hardware. Rather than annodizing, which isn’t plausible on magnesium, the company uses a proprietary finish which is harder and slicker.The BCM Gunfighter Vertical Grip is an example of an accessory using this system. The vertical grip attaches directly to the rail without tools. Just insert, twist and lock onto the rail.
The mounting end has two KeyMod pins that slip into place and the grip handle rotates around, drawing them tight. This not only braces the grip solid for the forward/rearward force of recoil, but pulls the unit in tight to the rail, as if it were machined into place. Install the grip forward into the chosen KeyMod slots until it seats into place; twist the lower grip section clockwise until the serrated slide latch drops into the locked position.
To unlock, force the serrated slide latch upward and rotate the lower grip body until the unit is loose enough to slip off. The quick attach/detach, U.S.-made, high-impact-polymer part includes a hinged trap door with a water-resistant rubber gasket. The BCM Gunfighter Quick Detachable KeyMod Sling Mount is a low-profile mount that fits standardized KeyMod interface mounting holes.
Standard push-button swivels are used, providing an eight-position attachment point that is flush with the surface, eliminating snags. When mounting, arrows locate the forward portion. An included Torx wrench tightens the two mounting screws after the assembly slips into place on the KeyMod.The new BCM Gunfighter Stock is an improvement on the M4 units BCM currently sells.
Featuring a streamlined, snag-free design, this new stock still fits standard buffer tubes and doesn’t need the additional external tension adjustment that other units do. A large adjustment latch runs over half the length of the underside, making adjustments easy. BCM patented the internals, with the main locking piece made from a heat-treated steel alloy, as compared to the more typical single pin found in other adjustable stocks. A special designed spring hooks onto the steel center piece and two side arms surround the large center pin, increasing contact with the locking mechanism and eliminating any movement when set.The stock has an ambidextrous conventional sling loop and quick-detach swivel mount molded into the unit.
Colors include black, foliage green and gray. The stock’s total weight as mounted is 7.5 ounces, making this rigid stock also one of the lightest.For more information, call 877-272-8626 or visit.
Table of Contents.There’s an old joke:Q: What’s the difference between an M16 and an AR-15?A: The government, that’s what.Okay, I didn’t say it was good joke.Moving on.AR-15s are a phenomenon. I feel it won’t be long before some country places it on its flag, like Mozambique did with the AK-47. The AR-15 is that iconic, in my opinion, and it is certainly consistently popular.
Some companies make it their business to take the AR platform to the maximum. One of those is Bravo Company USA, also known as or Bravo Company MFG (often abbreviated as BCM). Mozambique Flag Bravo CompanyPaul Buffoni is the founder and CEO of.
A post shared by (@bravocompanyusa) on Jul 13, 2017 at 6:57pm PDT BCM RiflesBCM’s line of rifles includes a large selection of carbines, among other things. This has been their main focus, and it makes perfect sense. They wanted to take something good, and make it better.The AR-15 was designed by as the standard issue infantry rifle.
Its many incarnations and derivatives have been held by many thousands of our brothers and sisters in uniform, spanning decades. It’s one hell of a system, to say the least.
BCM CarbineBravo brought together a team which sought to give the AR-15 a serious upgrade. They weren’t looking to build anything from the ground up, so to speak, but rather to provide a lightweight system which could handle punishment.Pure and simple. Buffoni has said that while his time in the was shorter than he wanted it to be, it taught him a lot about the nature of weaponry from a trained military end-user’s perspective. BCM AR15Bravo carries – whether through a vendor or in-house manufacturing – a large selection of quality components and parts, all geared towards helping you build your next AR-15 and turning it into the rifle you are envisioning. Everything from kits, uppers, and lowers, down to individual items such as triggers, barrels, grips, bolts, gas blocks, handguards, charging handles, and more.The company also houses many complete AR platform systems.
Each one of these rifles includes BCMGunfighter upgrades. No matter which model you end up choosing, you can be sure that it will be packed with premium components. BCM 300 BLK RifleThe idea is that there will be little to no need for aftermarket purchases, as far as the build is concerned. BCM wants you to have the best tool for the job, right out of the box. A post shared by (@roninarmory) on Feb 20, 2019 at 3:35pm PST MID-16 Carbines. Mod 2.
Barrel length 16”. Overall length 35”. Weight 6.7 lbs. MSRP $1,534. EAG Tactical (FDE). Barrel length 16.1” (14.5” + fixed compensator). Overall length 34.5”.
Weight 6.3 lbs. MSRP $2,263BCM 11.5 PistolOne of BCM’s most popular weapons is the RECCE 11 KMR-A pistol, which has been around since 2015. The company also offers this as a separate upper, but there is the possibility of purchasing the full system.The major advantage of the AR pistol (generally speaking) is that is less of a hassle than a rifle, and it has some impressive ballistic capabilities compared to handguns. It is a nice combination or compromise between the two, managing to deliver a lot of value, accuracy, and dependability in a small package, AND without an SBR tax stamp. BCM RECCE-11 KMR-A PistolThe RECCE 11 is a straight up semi-automatic (direct impingement action), has an upper and lower forged from 7075-T6 aluminum, and the barrel is chrome-lined and 11.5 inches long.As I said earlier, BCM aims to deliver a kind of upgraded weapon right off the bat and provides the shooter with a host of pre-installed quality BCM components: handguard, trigger, grip, compensator, charging handle, and more.
Again, this is done primarily so the shooter won’t have to spend as much time and money on aftermarket products, if any.Here are some of the specs:. Caliber – 5.56mm NATO. Barrel length – 11.5”. Overall length – 27”. Weight – 5.1 lbs. Capacity – 30+1.
MSRP – $1,400This item ships with a single 10- or 30-round magazine (depending on your location), and it comes with a limited lifetime warranty, like all BCM products. For those of you who are considering buying a complete AR pistol system, check this one out on or offline. BCM UpperSome people are interested in purchasing a complete system, because they want all of the parts to fit together properly, and be part of a single cohesive unit. There are some advantages to buying everything under one roof, so to speak, but then again there are those who take great pleasure in building their own dream weapon, and this dream is often made up of different components. BCM Charging HandleRecently (2018), BCM came out with the second generation of Gunfighter charging handles, which I saw as a nice way of coming full circle. As with the complete rifle systems and the receivers, BCM’s components are considered a household name in the firearms world.
People trust their parts and systems because they have proven themselves, and that is no small feat.The company’s accessories are not limited to AR-style weapons. There are also accessories for Glock, 1911, Smith & Wesson, and other brands. Certain accessories are available in KeyMod, M-LOK, and Picatinny configurations.According to Buffoni, the company’s best-selling products are the KMR handguard and the charging handle, both for the AR-15.
With each new year, BCM manages to grab the attention of the shooting world, by being up-to-date and on point. BCM KMR Handguard KeyMod ConclusionIn its relatively short history, Bravo Company USA has managed to work with all kinds of military groups and divisions such as SOCOM, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and the Coast Guard (to name a few). It has also worked with various law enforcement and government agencies all over the country, and even outside of it.CEO Buffoni’s commitment to the men and women who carry and train with BCM gear is a deep and serious one, and it is not taken lightly.
