Now to look at the "Black Funds"

Ha! I'm so glad I'm not the only one here that does this.


Shhhhhhh!

The modification to the BCG is minor - a small land is milled into the side to allow the charging handle to pick up. This doesn't affect compatibility with standard installations so you can swap this BCG into any other Upper at any time. This was a good selling point for me. The scriber is indicating the land:

The roll pin on the rear of the Upper is actually a hinge. This allows easy removal of the BCG for cleaning. Please disregard my dirty BCG... I took these pictures when I got home immediately after hunting this morning.

As for the out-going cases, I've not had any issues at all. There is a deflector block on the aft side of the port but that's all. Less working parts as far as I'm concerned. Being so open to the elements I was a little apprehensive about dirt and grit getting into the action but so far this hasn't been an issue. I'm not planning on running through muddy rice paddies shooting VC, parachuting into the desert sand dunes of Iraq or slugging through snow in the mountains of Afghanistan so I never see it being a problem.

In summary, I like it. And it's a little different from everyone else.

Yeah the open design of GBC does give me pause but they do do a standard milspec upper as well. I hope they start making standard milspec lowers when the supply over here runs put due to the import ban.

They may end up getting a lot of business once all the imported stuff dries up....

I’m sure there was a GBC milspec lower in the display cabinet of parts at Shot Show.

Are you sure that wasn't their 9mm one, I know they do a milspec 9mm lower.

They do a skeletonised Lower for the AR15...

Yep would be cool if they did a standard milspec one. Maybe they will when their aero lowers run out.

Can you tell me the size of the land that is machined on the BCG, Im keen to see if it would work with my light weight BCG's.
My BCG's tapper back to a smaller diameter very close to the bolt head.
I hope there is enough material on them.

What's a milspec 9mm AR? Like a 70's Colt?

I mean it looks like a milspec AR as in it has no cut outs.
