"Their survival depends on our quality" I love this. BCM gets it.
"Their Survival Depends on Our Quality." That statement alone sets them apart from almost every other manufacturer. This tour of their facility and their process to attention to detail made me appreciate my BCM even more. Thanks Larry!
I’m a nuclear inspector and have been in QC/Inspection for years. BCM has their $hit together in the QC world!
I just got my CWI and I am looking forward to being a part of this world.
Brian White CWI certs are good, but they don’t do TOO much for you REALLY. Some companies that don’t have their own QC department and Level III require it, but MOST companies, atleast in the South, either have their own Lvl. III or they hire out a companies Lvl. III to basically “run” their QC department. CWI certs are great for pipeline work/ oil platform inspections. Nuclear, shipbuilding rarely requires it although it can help get you a couple dollars more an hour. The work is great. Don’t let it go to your head and don’t let some in this field ruin it for you. It’s VERY rewarding and VERY good money! Good luck!
Brian White ps. Getting into QC in the firearms field is few and far between for a CWI. Not too many jobs in firearms for a CWI unfortunately.
@@KendrasEdge757 thanks for the advice. My plan is to hit the pipelines. We will see how it goes. I'm looking forward to it. As the money grows I can go get another cert. and so on.
@@JimmySilverFoot good for you, that test sucks too! I'm more on the structural side of it, but having that will open lots of doors for you imo...it has for me anyways. Best of luck on your new journey!
Damn, Larry looks like he’s ready to serve another 10 years with delta. Keep up the awesome work!
Yeah, I noticed right away he's looking much healthier than he did a few years ago. Do you remember his "Why I'm fat" video ?
I'll tell you what, it's one thing for a guy in his 20's or 30's to get into better shape, but it's a whole 'nother thing when you're Larry's age.
I just looked up his age and it says he was born in 1947 ? That can't be right. I don't think he's 72 years old is he ? If so I'm even more impressed. I though he was around my age, give or take a few years...I'm 59 years old.
Good to see looking good and healthy great look
Looks no where near ready to serve in delta let alone 10 years. Stop riding nuts
Sloan Magnum it was an exaggerated compliment, calm down there kiddo
@@likaboss7654 apparently heavily exaggerated. Stop riding nuts. It's embarrassing
Holy CHRIST!!! Larry lost some serious weight! Proud of you man, I'm trying to do the same thing.
I love my BCM! 🇺🇸
I’d gladly move across the country to work at a place like this, where I could be proud to say I my work matters, and quality control is second to none.
Love my BCM.
I was thinking the same thing when I first watched this!
This video has made PSA fanboys cry so hard over the past year. BCM still NUMBA WON
I own 5 BCMs and 6 PSAs. I'm about to sell the 6 PSAs to buy a couple more BCMs.
@Remington Steel PSA is the best shitty rifle
Ha.. I have a BCM BFH ELW upper on a PSA lower.. with a geissele trigger & BCM lower parts kit BCM BCG.. its close to a recce.. but has a different roll mark..
Yeah, the quality control o my BCM that literally could not, would not seat a full 30 round mag, no matter what mag I tried was amazing quality control. Oh and if I locked the bolt back and put a full 30 round mag in and loaded the chamber, it would malfunction EVERYTIME. oh and the upper and lower fitment was disgustingly loose, it would not cycle steel cased ammo at all whatsoever, and it had 5 malfunctions with quality brass cased ammo in the first 100 rounds other than the malfunctions already mentioned. I’ve owned V7 weapons, DD, LWRCI, DPMS And Barnes. No issues with any of them. But that brand new BCM RECCE 14 ELW for $1500.00 after tax was the biggest piece of trash I’ve ever seen. And that’s not all, I called BCM numerous times during business hours only to find out on Internet forums they rarely ever answer their phone for customers and they force an email. I’ve had no problem contacting many great American gun manufacturers by phone at all whatsoever. Than BCM tells me all those issues are likely because I put a BAD lever on it, it didn’t know weather to laugh or cry, anyone who knows anything about these rifles knows a BAD lever won’t do that. They refused a return unless I took the bad lever off, went to the range and waste my time and money And test it out. Which I did and to which all problems persisted.. DUH! I’ve written them off, and the fan boy who started this thread that was stroked In his pants by Larry vickers who was literally paid to do this promotion can suck it, fan boys of AR15’s suck if you ask me, there are so many damn good ones on the market, why would you recommend just one brand? BCM has done the most marketing and paying off of guntubers by a long shot, some of the biggest guntubers around have been in their pockets, look at MAC, in 5 years he’s done only 2 AR15 reviews (sig and colt) and he shit talked both of them the entire time and clearly steered people away from the,. but he’s done more than 10 on BCM and wears a damn BCM hat in half his videos.. AND he’s the highest paid guntuber via patreon and gets requests to review brands of Americas favorite rifle BUT HE NEVER DOES. I saw his patreon list a year ago or so and estimated he easily makes ATleast $20,000 a month from patreon, now he took away the count of patreon so people can’t see that. And he still says he needs more money and his patreon goals are not reached... guess what, they’ll never be reached with this guy. He will take all he can get. And it’s thanks to blind fan boys like you.
@@redpilledpatriot8484 I didn't read all of your post but if you want to sell your BCM, I'd buy it depending on what you want $ of course. Let me know
They also have a hot air gauge for out of spec CZcams comments.
Erik Paulsen that was good!
Absolutely incredible and fascinating precision... BCM’s from here on out for life!
I’d like to request a BCM made MCMR AR 10.
I’ll be on them like white on rice!!
This video sold me. As soon as I get back from deployment I am buying a BCM. The QC process and dedication you guys have to making rock solid equipment is UNMATCHED.
I'm buying a 2nd BCM Recce.
I love these factory tour videos and this one was very well done. More please!
Agreed!
Honestly BCM is probably my favorite high end AR parts. Great quality that doesn't break the bank.
Crush Globalists high end? They cost $1200
high end
laughs in KAC
I would say mid-tier level but would I trust my life in a BCM rifle, yes.
@@Gizmo_The_Familiar cringe.
@@mauricemaurice123 high end has nothing to do with price, bud. It’s about quality.
You're the best Larry, keep it coming on the BCM man! I have 5 uppers and a complete rifle from them, all were top quality and have never failed
Very impressed with the quality inspection systems that BCM uses. As a quality engineer in precision machined parts, I understand how hard it is to inspect to those tolerances and do 100% on parts in a production environment. After seeing this, I will be making my next AR a BCM.
This just proves too me why BCM will be my GO-TO from now on. Ordered a SS410 16" a few days ago cant wait for it too get delivered.
Thanks Paul and Larry! My oldest son and daughter love their BCM's, and that makes me one of the coolest dad's on the planet!
Looking good Larry! Haven’t watched a video I didn’t like. Thank you for your service.
I just bought a RECCE 16 and I can’t wait to pick it up. Watching this video makes me glad I went with BCM.
Its so nice to watch someone like Paul Bufoni completely geek out about technical stuff. You can just tell that he still really enjoys what he does.
Awesome video...just got my first bcm,but DEFFINETLY will not be my last. Thank you for all you do bcm!
Excellent quality control measures! Not only makes me want to own a BCM rifle. Makes me want to work there. Great looking facility and can tell he takes this serious! Great video as always LAV! ✌
I thought they produced a lot of their parts, but it looks like they just test the parts they purchase from a vendor. It’s great they take quality control so seriously.
Extraordinary Company with extraordinary products. I couldn’t be happier with my BCM!
Just got my new BCM bcg . Best one I’ve had so far . Great customer service and fast delivery .
I can’t wait to pick me up a bcm when I get back from overseas!! 3 more months hopefully lol
Excellent video Larry. Every BCM product I have ever purchased is top tier. I have no fears that it will work every time. It is surprising that they are so affordable considering the QC effort that is required.
Awesome video Mr. Vickers an thanks for showing the BCM quality control. BCM products are awesome an now i no why.
Looking great brother. Keep the videos coming. Much love to you and the crew.
I myself was a machinist for Honeywell with super tight tolerances for weapon systems. This video will secure me buying BCM BCG for all my future builds and current one. Great good BCM!!!
BCM in my Top 3 best / favorite. I remember buying my first BCM 9 years ago . I've always been a gun nut . I remember people had no clue who BCM was . I'd like to thank BCM GUNFIGHTERS for advertising what they use and trust . You got all these super elite instructors , and professional gunfighters using BCM products .
BCM 11.5" HF , and BCM MID 14.5" HF Carbines is all you need . IMO these are the beat 2 period . I know my BCMs and COLTS are what I trust my life and family's life with .
LAV , and PAUL keep doing what your doing . Love you guys .
And Paul thank you with providing an awesome product for people in harms way . You go above and beyond , and that's what makes you guys the best . I'm looking forward to seeing what in the future for BCM..
BCM goes above and beyond. It’s actually pretty impressive. I have a BCM upper. But I think my next AR complete buy will be a BCM. Thanks for the video. New respect for their process in the manufacturing of a rifle
I served in and Military and as a Private Security Contractor, I can assure BCM manufactures the highest quality fighting AR components on the planet.....no frills..no fancy milled out receivers......solid barrels....best BCG I have ever used...they just do work! I ONLY run BCM uppers on any of my AR builds, in my opinion they are the best. I recently purchased a 14.5 upper, assembled it with a BCM lower but ran it with a Lantac EBCG....had reliability issues, gunsmith assumed it was a gas block issue....returned the upper to BCM, they inspected it and recommended I run one of their BCG, they replaced the gas block anyway. Once I received the upper took it out again with same Lantac EBCG....still had same issues, bought a BCM BCG.....rifle instantly ran like a sewing machine!! Turns out Lantac had a bad run of BCG's with faulty gas rings.....upper was completely fine. BCM customer service no questions asked.....they fixed it anyway.....that is above and beyond in my book, BCM will always get my hard earned money for a well engineered solid piece of kit I can depend on to defend my family and freedom!
I have to give big kudos to BCM. I've used many BCM components in my builds and have had only one issue with a BCM part. When I informed them they immediately offered to take it back on their dime and fix it. Since it was easy fix (replacing a faulty ejector roll pin) I fixed it myself. That bolt and carrier is currently in my MK 12 build and has been 100 percent reliable in matches and training sessions.
Still my favorite and go to ARs. Thank you BCM and LAV.
Fantastic video. Wow! Thank you, Mr. Vickers. Outstanding information. Am a bigger BCM fan now. Great informational video. Thanks again.
Haven't watched your videos in a while, Vick, but you're looking fantastic now
My BCM rifle just came to my FFL, I can’t wait to pick it up tomorrow!!
Bought my first BCM upper which was a 14.5 SOCOM for my block2 clone build and it has been the best quality for the money by far.
I appreciate all the info that you shared with all of us out here and if I ever do buy an ARBCM will be the way I go thanks Larry👍👍👍👍👍
I had to build mine one part at a time and very happy I did. Being a retired Automotive Technician after spending 40+ years in the field your forever looking for fit & finish quality of everything you build. BCM has the very best Top Quality in every single part I received from them. I don’t care who makes it. It don’t get any better.
Excellent video ... the technology they deploy for Quality Assurance is really impressive. Definitely leaning hard towards BCM for gun parts like BCG's. Already love their accessories like stocks, foregrips, etc.
What a great video.
Personally, it's given me a lot more understanding of the processes of building such things & it's only a small part of all the steps they implement in their design & QC.
Again, a great video!
Great video and BCM is a exceptional company with awesome customer service 👌🏻🇺🇸
I love that BCM is American made and Veteran owned! Their QC looks like they have their stuff together
From what I’m hearing recently (nov 2021), their barrels are showing early cracking in the bore and headspace issues. Makes sense that their barrels have been out of stock for a very long time.
This is what I came here for. Ironic a video on QC when a ton of people are having problems
I got a barrel last year from BCM that somehow missed their QC department. They set me a new barrel pronto, that was top notch like the ones I received years ago. BCM is still my go to for barrels, bcg's and other assorted parts.
Looks like Larry is getting back in shape good job man
Love my BCM upper! Plan on buying another here soon!
Saving up now for a complete BCM. Sure I can 'build' an AR......except I'm missing a 'few' critical QC machines like that there. Jeez-Louise, BCM!! Outta the ballpark!
Good stuff, not very often you see an owner put his time and heart into his business like that. You can see how much he believes in the product he's selling. Most of the time you can tell when its a sales pitch bullshit line, I really didnt get that from this, im impressed.
Damn. I didn't recognize Larry until I heard his voice.
Good job man.
If I had a beer every time Vickers said, "good deal", I would be as drunk as Mike @ SOLGW!
Agree Larry, I have a few BCM rifles and have never had a malfunction.........solid platform
That’s why I love BCM rifles the man takes care and pride in his products.
I love the factory stuff. Would love to see more of it.
Just got their ELW MCMR 16 upper can't wait to take it out for a test drive.
He has a true passion for his company! That’s the difference between them and the others!
A good buddy owns a BCM rifle. It's outstanding! I will own at least one before the year is out.
Amazing company! found them via the sponsorship of Dan Bonginos show ! Ordered 2 weapons cant wait for them to arrive will post after! I Support patriotic companies who support patriots!
BCM RECCE 16 MCMR on order with local gun dealer. Thanks for the videos!
I have so shame or regret about BCM being my favorite, no question. Started years ago; proud of it!
Solid rifles built by professionals at reasonable prices... BCM makes great stuff.
Great Video! Larry your weight loss is still looking good. Keep it up
Men, this is just great. Gives me a great deal of pride that this level of care and inspection goes into an American made firearm. Keep up the great work. I know I trust BCM to protect my ranch and family and I'm sure our troops still in country feel the same.
Great video! Also why I went exclusively BCM 5 years ago.
SHADOW . No, I’m not an operator. I just believe in buying quality products, and it’s what I wanted to spend my money on after starting with lower grade AR’s.
Too bad you received the jackass comments from Shadow and JS. Totally inappropriate; has no place here. A true operator wouldn’t respond like that BTW.
I think dpms had them all beat except for colt
Just bought a mlok upper. Love my BCM!
Saving up to get a BCM 11.5 upper
John Creasy I’ve used a BCM 11.5 carbine setup for the better part of 9 years now. While my shooting has slowed in the last few years, the first several years of ownership were very high volume. It has been accurate, reliable, and a much more refined feeling when firing compared to almost any AR type under $2500. Only non-BCM functional parts are the AAC can mount / flash hider, spikes tungsten buffer (smoothed out cycling) and a larue trigger. I just keep the action wet with oil and it loves abuse.
Thanks for the video LAV.
Very well done and extremely informative.... Thanks and Blessings!!!
They NEED to make AR10 parts.
Yeoman oh yes big time!!!!
I'd be all over this
If BCM started making parts that would be enough to convince me to get into ar10s
@@DACFalloutRanger yeah they have always been appealing. But I keep blowing money on ARs and shotguns haha
@@DACFalloutRanger thanks for the advice brother!
I want to work at a place like that. Where they really care about the products they produce. Thanks for the video LAV.
Looking good, Larry!
Scary to think how many ARs out there are sold/built with low end parts to save cost i.e. Chinese clones...aesthetics are nice but that system better run tight! BCM A+ 👏👏 Keep up the good work fellas!
Wow Larry, lost a lot of weight since I seen him on another video. Looking great brother. About to purchase a BCM Recce 14.5.
Looking good Larry!
Great insight into quality, and why nor all firearms are created equal
Im going to guess the 3 thumbs down are DPMS owners ha.
Dont forget anderson lol
Or the ones who bought 3 PSA for the cost of 1 BCM
probably members of Moms demand action
@@jpasicznyk07 exactly, you can buy a PSA AR15 and AR10 for the price of a BCM. are they as high quality as BCM? no but id rather have more guns than less. i wouldnt rely on them for home defense though, unless its all i had.
I run a BCM as my go to gun.
But let me shit on your party. Probably one of the baddest motherfuckers to ever walk a battle field uses a basic rifle (buchmaster, which is known to be inferior quality to dpms). Either you are the weapon and the gun is the tool, or clearly with your comment, the gun is the weapon and you are the tool.

Interesting video! Just waiting CQB11 MCMR from shop. Greetings from Finland!
Great video. Respect for this boss.
Very informative, thanks lads.
Damn, this was a great video! I just wish is was about three times longer!😁🇺🇲
Its funny, I was about 5 minutes away from there today. I do love everything I have bought from BCM, having said that I do own more than just them
Just picked up an 11.5 bcm elw pistol. Watching this video reaffirms i made the right decision
BCM, DD, Colt, LMT, KAC. Doesn’t get any better
You look great man! Love these video’s!
And this is why I own and highly recommend BCM
I'm not surprised. The USMC instills attention to detail, particulary where their rifles are concerned. I saw USMC Recon as an Amphib Sailor in the 1990s hosting the 26 MEU in the Gator Navy. They were professionals.
Great video keep them coming
Fantastic glimpse into the BCM QC program. I do wonder where all the rejects end up. Surely they get returned to the vendor and sold to someone else.
Quality questions are: What is the rejection rate average, how much rework is done vs scrap. Love the air gauges.
My favorite AR parts company. The only bolt assemblies i buy now are BCM. I might buy some other parts elsewhere but that may be Geisselle or another high end parts group. Larry is lookin good....I remember the “why I’m fat” video. I hope he isnt doing the Cross Fit routine, he’s already had that. His body is beat up enough....A kinder gentler approach at his age will work just as well......
Cool video. I didn't even recognize Larry for a minute
wow found a new respect for them. go BCM
Larry "Why I'm not fat." Vickers.
Looking good my man!
Great vid. The correct pronunciation of that piece of equipment is pro-fuh-LOH-meter...
I love this kind of stuff.
This is why we love bcm!
damn, bcm stepping up their game
This makes me wanna work for BCM as well as own one...Great stuff BCM and thanks Larry for showing this
