I have a BCM Recce 16. I love it. BCM is a top notch manufacturer. Another great video review. Thanks.

[@sootch00]

Thanks Brother!

[@necrothescistt8164]

sootch00 could you do a video on the desert eagle? Or on the new colt cobra?

@scooth00 do you feel any feeding issues with GI mags vs pmags with the 300 blkout

[@andrewtubbs69]

300 black was designed to replace the mp5/mp5SD, to increase the terminal ballistics of the weapon while maintaining the same length overall and eliminating the need for any additional training.

[@MrDanielWP]

The thing about BCM is, you never have to work about something important not being done. If it should be chrome lined, it is. If it should be tested, it is. If it should be properly staked, it is. Just an outstanding company to purchase from.

[@ronin8490]

I comment 1:23 into the video. I recently built a 10.5 300blk pistol. Used a bcm trigger, it’s a budget / quality where it counts build. 🤷🏼‍♂️. This build takes me to memory back in high school, well not high school. I was in Gladiator school. I had a teacher, he was a Vietnam vet, dorky looking guy hippyish, ponytail. Slouched bad, even standing. Then one day he talks war, and how he got lit up by an AK, almost cut him in half 3 shots. Lifted his shirt 3 big dents with a line connecting going at an angle. Scar looked as if he was cut in half. I never looked at him as a dork with a slouch again. Been a fan of 30cal since. Idk how he survived.

[@martycombs5]

I took my 9" BCM 300blk out to 550 yards this past weekend!!! This is my favorite gun I own.

[@mattdaugherty7730]

What size target and optic?

[@anthonyrichard461]

What bullets? Grain? Just bought a pistol 7.5 upper today

[@Mattorrr]

When I bought my first AR I went in with a $600-900 budget looking for a Colt or something similar. I didn't know much but when I went to the shop and started talking with the sales rep, he told me to checkout BCM. I had never heard of them (this was a while back now) so I went home and did my research. Everything I could find was A+ and everyone seemed to love them. Long story short my ~700 budget went out the window, I went in the next day and bought a BCM Recce 14 for $1500. Best $1500 I ever spent and is by far the nicest rifle I own. Keep up the great work Sootch!

[@stephenkrall7609]

I have wondered about the difference in 556 and 300 blackout. Thanks for the explanation. That is what I like about your channel, you take the time to explain subject like that instead of just shooting.

[@985shane]

I think 300 Blackout would be way more popular than it is now if the price of ammunition would actually be more affordable to the average shooter

[@eidtnaci]

[@tophat2002]

Is 45acp ammo considered cheap?

[@cw2gtc]

Larry Riffett You can go directly to BCM’s website. There, you can order a production firearm. Made in small batches, one life at a time. Or, you can order up a custom tailored firearm, built to your exact specifications. Their cost is not as much as you may expect.Not for the type of lifesaving equipment this is, handmade by BCM (Bravo Company Manufacturing), each firearm, to exacting standards that exceed MIL-SPEC. They are tested along the way during their painstakingly detailed creation process. Their motto goes something like, “We don’t mass produce firearms for the civilian market. We make our firearms by hand, one at a time. Using Extreme care and detail, to highest standards because BCM makes its firearms for professionals. In combat, and on the streets for law enforcement. We make them to save one life at a time.”

Awesome videos sootch! I recently got into firearms and you've essentially been my teacher as everything I've learned and am learning is due to your great videos. Keep them coming! You definitely have a faithful subscriber in me.

[@just82much72]

Great review Sootch. I appreciate you taking your time to pass on some of your knowledge. I learn so much from your videos they are great. I didn't grow up around guns but took an interest as I got older and am very grateful for guys like you. Keep up the great stuff! Thanks brother.

[@hugo2x]

I just got a 8" 300 blackout upper to replace my 8" 5.56 upper. From what I understand, the 300 black out fully burns up its gun powder in an 8" barrel unlike the short barrel 5.56 which wastes it powder charge as a large fireball. That along with the larger mass of the 300 BLK results in much greater muzzle energy for a sub 8" barrel.

[@jessesimmons9238]

mike honcho a 11.5 inch SBR barrel Would be great.

[@IhAv3jUST]

Thank you for the video. You helped me make up my mind on choosing the 300 blackout pistol over 5.56. I already have a 5.56 rifle, but I wanted something more compact for home defense.

[@WillEvo22]

I've got a 8.5" Blackout, 7.5" 556 upper, and a 22lr conversion kit. So just switching upper and bolt I can shoot 4 different ammo with same the lower. Also everything fits in my tactical bookbag. Run out of 300 ammo, switch upper. Run out of 556 and then 223, switch out bolt and magazine. Run all my 22lr.

[@PeopleKnowMe07]

Love your videos. You do a fantastic job. Always enjoy watching what you get to play with. Keep it up!

[@gm1robski791]

thank you for all of your quality videos, I enjoy and like pretty much all of them. keep up the great work.

[@davidcontreras3164]

Thanks for posting these great reviews Sootch00. I'm Currently building a 9" 300 build with a Ballistic Advantage barrel and a SureFire Warcomp on the way.

[@dasaster7993]

Another great video Sootch, thanks man.

Again, another great informative video thanks!

[@terrygraham1877]

Sweet setup! Good video, thanks

[@briangreen256]

I guess new data has come out on the 300 blackout vs 556.You can have good groups at 600 yards with blackout with more punch than 556

[@alfredyu7213]

good morning miss your vid yesterday busy at work but nice review was alittle undecided but i think I'm going to pull the trigger now for sure , thank you sir!!!

[@hettrocv6026]

A great video sootch00!

[@cw2gtc]

I’m new to privately owned firearms in the AR/M4 platform. There’s stuff I simply did not know. I musta missed that day in automatic firearms skool. So, great job in ballistics. Looks like you had fun. And as we all know, going to skools is all about fun. And learning.LOL 👍🏼🇺🇸👍🏼

[@EfrainSuarezII]

In my opinion all the Company Logo is a freshman move. Makes the pistol look like a toy, ala Tippmann Marker, etc. Now the particulars of the weapon seems to be A+. OUTSTANDING +sootch00

[@joeluis2455]

Just bought me a saint ar pistol in 300 for Christmas.. i can not wait to take it the range

[@multitaskchef]

Thanks 4 the review. Looking at .300 blk pistol as a hunting rifle. Definitely got me SOLD! Now I just need to FIND one.

[@GearKnowHow]

300 Blackout is becoming more popular but it's still a very expensive round, once it gets more massed produced it'll become as popular as 556!! I'd like an AR Pistol in 556 for my next build perhaps! Great video!

[@hawkins71]

BCM has some nice offerings... I have a BCM pistol chambered in .223/5.56 I love it... If I was not committed to my caliber consolidation, I would so get into the .300 blackout...

[@lscott4402]

Very Informative video. Thanks

[@phillipboyd9103]

Yes data review and comparison please!!

[@tduncan9938]

I tend towards DD but the BCM trigger and select is really great.

thanks Sootch !!! Good review, looks like the perfect home/personal defense weapon. God Bless ya pardner

very good review. Thanks sootch00. law inforcement should look into 300 black to replace 9mm rifles.

another great video my friend! keep it up.

[@j.p.4541]

Great Video Sootch, do you happen to know the weight of that particular BCM setup?

[@jackdareapaiam94]

Question brother what ear pro are you using? Also loved the video it's my 3rd time watching it. Trying to see if I want to build or buy a 300 blackout.

[@johnviera3884]

That GearHead Tail Hook stock looks awesome

[@glockmeister3579]

Sooch I bought me a Wheaton Arms tin barrel Monday and Robbie personally dropped the barrel in my pistol so they owe you 1 I would have never known about these if you hadn't done your video thanks

[@BertShackleford]

Great review as always. Would this build fit in something like the 5.11 Rush 24 bag you just reviewed? Sadly, I still cannot convince myself to add another caliber - especially 300 Blackout. Cost per round being the major factor. Plus I still don't see a logical benefit to 300 Blackout if you aren't suppressing. I guess that's the blessing/curse of a pragmatic mind. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@travis2511]

That is a sweet pistol!

[@jocrpnter]

Love the vids

[@sootch00]

Thanks Brother!

[@TheJedi270]

My build was 700. Using spikes lower stag upper ballistic advantage barrel and BCG with PWS CQB comp spikes lower kit geisslee trigger

[@Tragic387]

ArkhamEFX you're saying the entire build came out to be 700?

[@TheJedi270]

Rob Sullivan yeah, I focused on weight and the Bolt,barrel, and comp. The trigger isn't high speed and low drag but is actually very nice. I found out years ago there are many makers of furniture that turn out a great product for less. The spikes lower was $94 which is a great quality lower for that price. The upper where they claim it is stag it isn't stag marked. There in fact four or so forgers that supply firearms manufacturers. LWRC, Daniel Defense, spikes are just a very few that do them all in house. Now, one thing with some research I learned was that Milspec offered to civilians is not true milspec. Only the Military has those true numbers. They are very close though. Allot of shooters knock UTG. But UTG uses the exact same materials the bigger guys do and they are very high quality. What's that saying? A 2x4 is a 2x4? It comes down to the "name" on the box. I used a midpoint charging handle the whole $80 handle is such a wallet killer and to be honest I have yet to break one in my life. I just feel there's a lot of companies preying on guys wanting names. This build is a combat weapon plain and simple. Everything that matters is in my opinion very high quality. The Barrel and bolt being Ballistic Advantage is a kicker. It is one of the best if not the best setup available. MPI HPI. Cold hammer forgedr which is the best way period.

[@TheJedi270]

Rob Sullivan LOL here's the short answer, anything that matters is where I spent the money. There's no tacticool to it. It's one of those rifles that when ya go to the range and everybody's gun has 30 pounds of pricey crap on it. It comes out the bag light fast and accurate and a tank.

[@KaneGregory]

I love you sootch!!!

[@lorrewatkins5925]

Its just a shame that 300blk is so expensive compared to other calibers ! :(

[@mometal0519]

Love BCM. Sure wish they'd come out with a MLR hand guard...

[@realKushy17]

Long live the republic!! Dig the shirt brother!

[@buendiagaucho83]

Maybe a review on the 458 SOCOM round?

[@davusmaximus231]

If you're talking about the letter to SB Tactical, who makes the SIG brace...that was a specific letter to one manufacturer. Not all braces are exempt! All the same...do it anyway, love your channel!

[@spookypunky]

That thing hops like crazy

[@projekt679]

If you look carefully he’s using his cheek and not shouldering the pistol.

[@The_Ghost923]

Another awesome review, Sootch. I'm reading all the comments about shouldering the brace is now legal. Kind of strange the powers at hand made that legal and not an actual stock...just weird IMHO.

[@blackjack3599]

Hey Sootch. Was wondering when you would do a 300BLK PDW build with the tax stamp and the parts. Be really awesome to see. Keep up the great work patriot

[@rtk114]

Just a small point. Fluting alone doesn’t increase the rigidity of the barrel. It actually decreases the rigidly of the barrel for the same diameter. You can say that a fluted barrel is more rigid than a non fluted barrel of the same weight. Nice gun.

[@Mrgunsngear]

very nice

[@sootch00]

Thanks Mike, I finally got mine done.... after your excellent review.

[@blwngt1598]

sootch00 How well do you think the Primary Arms 1-6x24 ACSS 300BLK scope would work for a setup like this? Or would a red dot be a better option? Got a 10.3" on mine & like the P/A scope but wonder if it's too much for this type of setup as it is a defensive role gun too.

[@Par_and_syv_lovers56]

Doing my own lower and just going to buy the 300blk upper separate.

[@feelathome77]

cool shades

[@SonotCali]

Send me a BCM charging handle to test........ forever 😂 nice gun great video

[@Clodknocker]

I built this gun peice buy peice over 3-4 month I bought the fde ion bonded bcg from bcm Oh and my rail is in M-lock and I love it .

[@waynelohausjr1677]

I got a .300 with a 10.5 bbl built it myself not a cookie cutter rifle

[@bombsaway6340]

Sootch, did you ever get the corn data? Love to hear what you determined. Building an AR pistol now, debating 300 or 5.56

[@joeholtz5395]

My ar15 in 762x39 from PSA has had ZERO malfunctions. I've had it for almost 2 years and it only gets steel garbage ammo. I'm sitting at close to 3,000 rounds now. That's more than I've put through my AK'S. So don't say that 762x39 won't function in an ar15. With good magazines it isn't an issue.

[@ScottyM1959]

You got me check Powerball and Mega Millions tickets, so many toys so little money lol. Question, what kind of gloves do you use?

[@sootch00]

Those are IronClad EXO Tactical Gloves. I'm a huge fan. Thanks Scotty!

[@ZFlyingVLover]

With a buffer tube compatible with folding you could store this baby in you backpack!

[@sagmeister2234]

Regarding buffer weight, for subsonic they recommend a carbine weight buffer, not H3.

[@JohnDoe-rn3ck]

Hey Sootch id love to see you review the LF308 PR20. I am thinking about buying one.

[@mr.excitement689]

This reminds me of the Springfield saint victor pistol in 300 blackout.

[@mr.excitement689]

Michael Shearer I recently bought a saint victor in 300 blackout. 9 inch barrel. Well put together. It’s always hard to justify the extra money spent over something like a psa equivalent firearm, but there are certainly some extras on the Springfield that you’d have to pay extra for if you went the psa route.

[@timgoward9407]

I built a .300 blackout for deer hunting because I wanted a lite compact 100 yard rifle. one thing to point out, if you reload it will take the same bullet options that are available in 7.62x51 or .308. So if you can't find a commercialy available round you like it can be reloaded into what you want.

[@sootch00]

Thanks for the comment Tim.

[@---td4ff]

Tim Goward awesome tip alwats kinda wondered myself

[@thesweetestjerk8905]

Thanks for the info, helpful.

[@jessesimmons9238]

Tim Goward you can also use heavy .30-06 bullets.

[@troynichols9788]

sootch00, great vid - building a 300 right now - do you have any discount code for BCM?

[@jeffreywoodall2629]

sootch00 Why do you think keymod or mcmr rail ? Debating which bcm complete upper to buy.

[@woodwoman9130]

Nice home defense gun. Thanks!

[@sootch00]

Thanks for watching!

[@lkae4]

Not with the KeyMod rail but I do like pistol ARs for home defense.

[@lkae4]

LOL, I guess if there was a dick emoji, it would be in the shape of KeyMod. Testing has shown KeyMod fails drop tests, MLok survives. That's more my priority but I get not wanting a bunch of dick emojis on my AR.

[@jeremyt1917]

How does fluting affect strength? I thought it lightened it and added a WEE bit of better cooling surface area.

[@projekt679]

Will it still fire supers with the H3 buffer?

[@hectikmgj]

+sootch00 would you recommend this system, with the Law Tactical and KAK brace, as PDW truck/car gun? If so what ammo would you most recommend using unsupressed? What ammo would you run once it is suppressed?

[@rickbourne1376]

Now that is a pistol where you are not going to be out gunned. As much as I love 10mm, this is a new level above that.

[@ColtCommander45]

So recoil wise, it looks like it was jumping around a lot. Do you think that is because of the lack of using your shoulder to brace the gun, or just the .300 coming out of that short barrel?

[@joshfoster7228]

Just checking I love your videos, but at 7:54 was that a flash hider or forward assist? I know everyone is a critic, especially those who don't do what you do.. and yes, I thank you for what you do. carry on.

[@CupofTea3]

can you put a kak shockwave on the pistol buffer tube that comes on it or do you have to get another pistol buffer tube?

[@pswancey81]

What’s the details on that QD mount you are using with the Sig Romeo 4m???

[@jacobcash8900]

hey Sootch you ever make your way up to the Columbia SC area?

[@blackbushido]

Hello. Could you please help me to understand what is the bad press I’ve been hearing bout BCM’s barrels?? I understand that they do not have the cold hammer steel as DD does and so BCM barrels have been only able to have 1000-1200 rounds before having to let the barrel cool down before running again, is this true?? I am really interested and wanting to get the 12.5 300 blackout for a HD/CQC/CQB but again have heard that the barrel has cause baffle strikes and when, the shooter turns in the barrel supposedly, BCM has blamed the shooter instead. Now I also heard that you can elect to get the upgrade of BCM’s “hammer cold steel” referred as to something else but I can not recall. Could you please give me the REAL facts about BCM and put my mind to rest please and thank you?? Thank you and thank you for your timely timely response

[@brandonrivera9322]

Hey sootch, I am putting together a bcm 300 blackout pistol. What is your preference of barrel length?

[@johngraesser4911]

I am guessing you are shooting supersonic rounds, my .300 blackout pistol is a PSA build, similar to yours, except unfluted stainless barrel, and no blade on the back of the buffer tube. NiB bolt carrier for the additional reliability. I still haven't gotten mine to the range, but intend to get it there. My optic is laser, red dot combo. It breaks down into a back sling pack, so it could be concealed carried in a high threat scenario. How well does your pistol do with subsonic ammo?

[@MrBoyYankee]

*Gorgeous*

[@davidbonnichsen2901]

Realizing I am a little late to this blackout game....from the all knowing internet (lol) it seems this cartridge can reach maximum velocity from a ten inch barrel. Can you help me understand why BCM may have chosen a 9” barrel? I am in the market for a blackout upper and your insight is pretty valuable.

[@brandonrivera9322]

Hey sootch, I am building my first AR ever. It will be a AR pistol and I was wanting to know what would you think would be a good round to have? I am not a regular shooter so it is rare if I go to the range. I am thinking about 300blackout or 556 and what barrel length??? Please get back to me when you can. Thanks

[@Spike-13]

Nice rifle, love BCM. FYI knockdown power is a myth though. look on youtube, a guy takes a .308 to the chest wearing a plate (standing on one foot) and he doesnt even lose balance whatsoever....

[@victorvillanueva7522]

300 black out are very good in terms of shoulder pistol
