BCM 12.5 Pistol Project

Quick show and tell on my newest project. Parts:
- BCM 12.5 upper
- MCMR 10 inch rail
- BCM mod 3 grip
- Offset magpul pro irons
- BCM bolt carrier group
- BCM pistol lower
- Polished nickel teflon trigger
- BCM Mod 3 pistol grip
- SBa4 pistol brace
- Radian SD-SL charging handle
- Trijicon Accupoint 1-6x with triangle red post
- Geissele 30mm super precision mount
- Surefire scout mini (500 lumens)
- Kinetic Development Group QD mlok picatinny section
By the way, I’ve run about 100 rounds of Hornady .223 black 75 grain hollow points and so far so good on function and reliability. Think that’s it!
Thanks for watching!

put weapons lube on your flashlight lense. when carbon builds up you can just wipe it off and re apply. keeps your lense crystal clear.

[@seanwhite304]

That us correct . My cousin who is SOCOM taught me that 5 or 6 years ago

[@josephborella2617]

pro tip!

[@spoke1183]

Thats a bad idea anything oily will pick up more dust and particles rather then just clean crystal glass. Im sure this make sense try washing you car and drive it on dirt road lol see how much more dust and shit will stick to it.

Thanks a lot that’ll be helpful bro

Lip balm works better plus it's easily stored in the hand grip or foregrip

[@KaneGregory]

This might be one of the best setups I’ve ever seen that trijicon 1-6 makes my compass 🧭 point north!🤯🔫💣

[@bluegunner4719]

Thanks! Accupoint is being slept on

[@MrOliverk2]

OAL is measured from the end of the buffer tube to the end of the barrel. The end of the barrel does not include the muzzle device if it’s not pinned.

[@144Souldier]

Question. I'm about to build an ar pistol. I'm hearing you cant run a foregrip on an ar pistol. How is his legally an ar pistol.

[@desertpinoy5616]

144 he said that he had a 12.5 inch barrel if you measure from buffer tube to barrel(without flash hider) he would exceed 26 inches OAL. Now if you can’t do that then I would tac-weld a 10.5 inch upper that way it is permanently attached to the barrel of course you can change the brake into a longer on if you want to and weld it to make it longer. That’s what I’m probably gonna do and put an echo trigger and have my version of the military arms channel” NFA Nutkicker “.

[@beck4218]

Blue is still clear with this setup.

[@7seasons31]

@Austin Litt Moore correct. If the overall length is more than 26” it’s a “firearm” (not a pistol or rifle) and any grip can be used

[@jpoll4824]

The grip his running on his pistol isn't a vertical grip,vertical grip is 90 degree, that grip is 85 degree

[@911couple5]

Literally my next build planned thanks for showing me what it looks like.

[@bluegunner4719]

My pleasure!

[@worldwide1873]

I have the older accupoint model and a 16” DD but other than that it is the same set up! Definitely a good go to for anything.

[@fubar1217]

You can probably remove some of the bulk in that flashlight setup by bypassing the picatinny interface on the flashlight and mount directly to the KDG mount.

[@CivilitaryMinuteman]

Very nice build. You never regret buying quality and, clearly, you have a quality set up...

[@chatnasty]

@bluegunner make sure the mlok nuts on the BCM vfg aren't touching your gas block. Those slim rails are very prone to that issue, essentially removing the free float from the rail.

[@ExplorinInTheWoods]

As soon as I saw that 1-6 Accupoint I gave the video a like. It’s a great optic.

[@CaptainCreampie69]

I’m glad you showed me the gun was clear and safe. I was scared you might shoot me through the camera. 😂🤣😂

With all that I'm just over 26 inches. Watching your vid and reading all the comments was very helpful to my build... Thanks for posting and keep up the good work

@@bluegunner4719 just measured my pistol and I'm one quarter inch over 26 inches. So I'm good for the vertical hand grip

[@ultimatelv27]

@@joshrains2507 My understanding is that in order to put a vertical grip, your weapon has to have a barrel length of 16 inches or longer AND overall length of 26 inches or greater. You have to have both.

You lucky dog you, I want mine with the qrf handguard I want to make a battle pistol

[@KiLLJOY1056]

I was shocked when i saw your build because mine looks exactly the same… down to the inch or two of exposed barrel. Im running 12” barrel (including pinned a2 muzzle) with 10” Quad Rail ris. And the gunfighter mod 3 vertical. Gotta love it man. 12.5” is definitely the “do it all” length. Sounds like you might want to grease up your charging handle though. Youll remove that scratching noise and it will be much smoother in and out.

[@DutchK75]

I built roughly the same pistol. MK2 upper. BCM ambi charging handle. And BCG. Since I don't own a suppressor. I put a 6315 bird cage from Forward Controls on it. I always run a Sprinco extractor spring. The lower is a A5 from BCM. LAW folder. I'm a huge fan of the A5. Green Spring, AH5A2 and Bad Saftey. Stock trigger. Surefire and a old Aimpoint Pro I have on a Wilcox mount. Oh and same brace you have.

Nice! I’ve been looking for the A5 Buffer system. Seems to be out of stock everywhere I look

[@fook-joby-den6172]

Safeties, the Radian is nice, but the FCD/SOLGW: Q50-Long/L+Short/R is King. Ultra Crisp & positive feel(both a tactile & audible). Swapping the Magpul pros for an Arisaka 35/45 offset mount w/HE508T or HE509T would allow you to run LPVO @Max Magnification & snap back/forth vs having to dial down, locate target, dial up & engage. If you don’t have any issues with bolt catch or desire a larger surface area your likely gtg. As overall it’s a nice set up.

[@bluegunner4719]

Folgrin wow I just saw that! I’ll have a closer look later and let ya’ll know if they start walking out

[@JohnBlaze505]

That's how they were designed. That's also why KNS and anti rotation pins aren't good for your lower.

[@ShooterGuy-sq9is]

Not having the hammer spring legs in the trigger pin grooves creates less tension in the hammer spring and causes lighter firing pin strikes that may not set off a harder primer.

Nice pistol all the cool guy stuff. BCM, Lancer, Radian, Geissile, Trijicon, and even mounted forward grip backwards. Sweet!

[@don8659]

Hey man nice setup. Also if you're interested in running your light closer to the weapon rail so that it doesn't stick out so much (seen guys bust their lights turning corners shooting indoors) look into the thorntail from haley strategic. It mounts directly to the light and runs between your side and top picatinny rail.

[@caseydickerson9]

The OAL of a AR-15 type weapon is measured from the end of the buffer tube (with the brace off) to the front of the threaded part of the barrel unless the muzzle device is permanently attached (pin and welded) then it can be included in the OAL measurement. This measurement must exceed 26” in order for a person to put a vertical fore grip on the rail.

[@rascalmatt6713]

When shooting standing, unsupported, light triggers become more and more important. I would never run a milspec trigger in an AR pistol. That includes the BCM PNT and the ALG ACT. If you want to hit quickly and accurately while standing, get something 3.5lbs or lighter. However, you have given me an idea for my 12.5 BCM AR pistol. I have a green MRO. It's horrible. The battery life alone should rule it out of anyone's list. I may have to finally get an accupoint. I think it's appropriate for the 12.5" and shorter pistols.

[@maddmaxx9819]

Cool set-up. Needs more rattle can.

[@Training_Tsuna_]

What buffer weight and spring do you use and what is the ejection pattern you get from it?

[@Leeeroyyy149]

Nice set up! Been eyeballing a BCM pistol lower but seems they are always out of stock. Still can't decide btw 11.5 vs 12.5

[@bluegunner4719]

It was a hard choice for me too. In the end though, I don’t think the difference is that big.

[@TacTony]

Supressed? 11.5 Unsupressed? 12.5 The extra inch is absolutely worth the added bulk in my opinion, but if you are suppressing the weapon then taking a inch off would be best for maneuverability

[@corbinhuber9575]

12.5 has an extra 130-160fps more velocity with that extra 1”

[@spade2you]

Corbin Huber I have a 12.5" and a suppressor. Can it be used for CQB? Sure. It's a little long and front heavy. I'm planning on getting a 10.5" for home defense with the suppressor.

That’s my favorite scope, I have the same one.

[@raydon14ify]

[@Ben-lo7cy]

Nice one👍🏼 I’m currently building a 12.5 myself but I’m very indecisive on the barrel. Have a spikes lower built pretty standard with an geissele ssae trigger. Planned on using a geissele mk13 rail so don’t want a complete upper but might just give in and buy bcm complete upper

[@bluegunner4719]

BCM sells uppers without rails on their website. That way you can add your own later on

[@birdwk]

for 12.5" I would look closely at Criterion Hybrid or Core series and Centurion Arms barrels. You will get amazing accuracy AND longevity.

[@Ben-lo7cy]

ATF guideline defines a VFG as one being at 90 degree angle. The slant VFG made by BCM is not 90 degrees. Take that for what it’s worth.

[@champy1210]

"For your information, Federal law currently does not define 'vertical foregrip.' However[,] the ATF has determined that a grip of this type is distinguished by being both forward of the magazine well and oriented at a perpendicular (90[-]degree) angle to the bore of the weapon. The relative position of the grip around the weapon's bore would not change this determination." FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PEOPLE, DO NOT WRITE THE REDCOATS!!!

I am very interested in accuracy at 100yd with Milspec ammo (M193/M855) and with any ammo that the rifle loves. I am also interested in what it can do at 400, 500, 600 yds. How is the recoil impulse on a 12.5 with a 7" gas system? How do you like the BCM?

[@ohyahlinkinpark4life]

So if I’m getting this right... when I build my ar pistol if it is longer than 26 inches I am good to put a vertical foregrip on it without having to pay any kind of tax stamp?

[@bluegunner4719]

Correct. However make sure you measure from the end of your buffer tube to the end of your muzzle device. If you have a folding brace, you have to start your measurement from the folding device to the muzzle device. And if your muzzle device is not pinned, the measurement has to be stopped at the tip of the barrel. Mrgunsngear has a lot of great videos about this specifically.

[@ohyahlinkinpark4life]

Blue Gunner awesome thanks! ... that was probably the clearest answer to any questions I’ve ever asked about ar pistols 😂

[@mikebrockway6099]

Is this actually a pistol? I think this combo likely measures >26” which is the upper limit for pistol. It should likely be considered a “firearm” as long as there is never a butt stock attached (buttstock = SBR)

Not the OP, but I like it a bit better than the SBA3. TXREX Arms makes a good point that the QD location is a bit easier to work with. OAL for this is without the brace since it's an accessory not required for function of the firearm.

[@XtremeAdventures671]

Isnt the measurement to be taken with the brace off from the end of the receiver extension to the muzzle end of barrel as the brace serves no function of the firearm? What is the length from the end of the receiver extension with the sba4 brace removed?

[@bluegunner4719]

You are correct. But the brace is close to flush with the extension with it fully collapsed. I haven’t measured without the brace off, but I doubt it will bring it below the minimum 26”. Either way, my grip isn’t quite vertical so I’m not too worried.

[@jzaden10]

Are you sure that isnt a vertical grip? That is the reason I only put angle grip on my 300 blk. Sorry but it looks like a vertical grip to me I'm sure you are right.

You said that you were running a magpul angled forgrip but that’s a BCM vertical grip... although you are in clear because a 12.5 will be 26” OAL, putting that grip on a 10.5 for example would be a no go. BCM themselves sell and advertise that product as a vertical grip if you look it up.

It sounds like those reloads or some are out of spec. I had this issue with my build thinking something was wrong with it. Until my gunsmith and I Measure the actual casings. The barrel head space was fine. I found out even manufactured ammo is not all to extract spec.

Does the BCM bcg work out the box on an ar under 14.5”? Heard you had to change out something on the bolt If it’s under that

[@bluegunner4719]

Absolutely. It’s just a standard BCG. Nothing crazy going on. They just do a good job putting it together.

Wish they would upgrade the gas system to a midlenght gas tube instead if carbine lenght.

Not enough dwell time on a 12.5 for a mid length gas system. Yes some people make it but that is why the big name companies do not.
