The guy narrating was Pat Rogers - retired USMC Warrant Officer, NYPD Sergeant, and owner operator of EAG Tactical. For a legitimate badass he seems very down to earth, and he can whistle when he talks because while crusty, he has been a killing machine longer than any of the commenters here have been alive.
We are truly in the Golden Age of firearms. I have gone from an M16 as a Marine and a .357 revolver firing .38+p as a cop to an AR in .300 blk and a Glock 45 in G19 slide with a G17 adjustable grip using Cor-bon +p in 9mm, and it’s getting better.
Pat's bcm eag carbine is one sexy lookin rifle. I don't normally like fsp but on the eag it looks great, probably tied for best looking fsp carbines (bcm midlength and the ddm4v1)
Alright, I won't argue with you on this one. I love it when people actually make an educated argument or in your case pointing out a flaw in mine. You win this one but we'll meet again.
Great vid in the shooting section. Some points on the history. The "CAR-15" was a family of weapons put forth by Colt, which included the 603 Rifle, 605 Carbine, 607 Commando, 608 Air Force Survival Carbine, and even a belt-fed LMG. The term "CAR-15" was msitakenly used to refer to the XM177E1, XM177E2, GAU-5A, GAU-5A/A, & Model 653. The R0723 and R0727 came about in the later 1980's, with a barrel that looks like an M4 barrel, but is not. The M4A1 was first used with JSOC in 1993, & 75th '94.
are soldiers allowed to make their own modifications to their weapons? for example, if he has a better sight, or better muzzle than what the army issues him, can he put those on his gun?
That's the same range I took th EAG Carbine 2 class at..I wonder if they filmed that prior to or after the class..Either way, both Pat and Travis are pretty cool instructors and wouldn't hesistate taking their courses again.
That's a tourniquet. Recommend one like that for anyone with a weapon in there hands. Ricochet is a mother. That has a plastic handle that will break before the bone so its really good for someone who is new to field med and gets a little carried away
BCM does make great AR products, BTW, and have really driven the industry to recognize that many customers want a blaster that will hold up to the rigors of high-volume shooting, not just appear to be an AR15 from the outside. They use correct 5.56 NATO chambers, MPI/HPT bolts, and other milspec or higher standard components, and they make a difference when you run your gun with range sessions that make your grocery budget pale in comparison.
The M4 was introduced in the mid 90s but the concept of the XM4 in its early for was in the mid to late 80s. The XM4 didn't quite look like the M4 that was later adopted
Very unusual for Travis Haley to be running his pistol in the 5 o'clock holster position. Anybody know why? His chest gear doesn't look like it's getting in the way that much.
maybe a grab and go system? he already had the holster on and decided to just throw on a chest plate and helmet? its odd seeing him with desert digi too.
I was wondering the same thing! Maybe he meant BCE? I went immediatly and looked on BCMs website for a comp but found nothing, though while he said that he had a surefire on his rifle... hmm im guessing an error on his part?
I'm torn. I just cant decide. I'm about to start a build and just cant decide between Bcm or Daniel Defense. Anyone have an unbiased opinion? It will most likely go ontop of a Spikes lower unless I can be convinced otherwise
You can't go wrong with either man. Both will run forever if you treat them right. I prefer bcm bolt carrier groups and their gas port diameter and tube and assembly specs and all that. I think they're all around a little better built than DD. Would not have a single problem running a DD rifle if you put one in my hands though. Both as solid as your gonna get in the entire industry.
Unbiased doesn't exist in a way. Between the options for different barrels (EL, ELF, BHF and SS410) underneath the KMR rails and usually more options for midlength gas systems, I've never understood DD's appeal compared to BCM.
John Brody Rock river arms are very accurate and a lot cheaper the r3 completion model is outstanding stainless flutted barrel..Its no dd or bcm but its a great rifle....
well in the magpul videos(if that's what you're referring to) his and Chris main focus was on the civilian shooter. with very little emphasis on military ops and tactics. im sure thats a completely different side of things. just my .02. in the carbine 1 vid (i think)you also saw him and chris shooting from the same barricade one high/one low and they never taught anything even close to that in the class
BCM is legit, solid and built for war plus some. I used BCM uppers on my last 2 builds and they just run. Quality all the way around and the mid-length is smooth.
How ya doing ray.. I really want to build an ar. it's my first one. my manger has the tools and we're going to work something out. He's very good to work for as also a person . Please feel free to make suggestions opinions and comments of a self built mid length direct impingement. don't want gas, and I read the best about the mid length d.i.
What kind of holster is it? it looks like you didn't have any trouble re-holstering. my leather IWB holsters are hard to re-holster to after drawing my weapon.
Pat: Havoc 6 do you read? Haley: Copy..In-house Coffee ☕️ Pat: Detonating fronts Haley: Once it is down I’m. pouring in hot lava. Pat: Contacts eliminated 💀 RIP Mr. Rogers 🇺🇸
anyone got a bcm qrf?? waiting for the mid length 14/5s to come back in stock....super excited to get a bfh qrf! hopefully soon...anyone got any info on weight? much of a difference from the mcmr?
Umm...so why in gods name are every single BCM rifle and AR pistol variant sold out on BCM’s website? Including lowers?? And, for a while too. Every caliber and every configuration. Why?
+sailure1 Do you think that's the d3 because it's not. I'm asking the brand and model chest rig being worn by Travis Haley in this video. idk if you're just another keyboard warrior who has nothing better to do than be a smart-ass but I'm genuinely asking.
Derrick S Tran why the fuck do you care what rig he chooses to use? He also uses Charmin Ultra to wipe his ass...does that matter to you also? Stop modeling what works for you on what works for others. There are 11teen billion different rigs...have fun.
***** It does if you're going to be running thousands of rounds through it. RR's aren't bad if you go out and shoot every now and then. But running it heavy they will fall apart. especially for training. If they start getting really dirty.
+Aric Q RR makes a pretty damn nice 2 stage trigger for under $100, I have one in each of my AR builds, nothing short of AWESOME!! but yes BCMs are mil spec and are much much better especially if you're going to abuse them during a class, they hold up beautifully.
Training company? BCM builds guns, correct? Do they even offer training? Also, that man was Travis Haley. However, your quip about attracting COD kids was spot on: It attracted you. The only video uploads you have are game play from cod.
You know what's cool? Looking at the M2 Carbine used by Charlton Heston in "The Omega Man" and comparing it to a modern AR setup... the equipment has changed, but the concepts haven't.
The most unpredictable thing I've ever seen Travis do is wear a holster in the 5 o'clock position after studying over 12 hours of video instruction from him mentioning nothing about it!
The guy narrating was Pat Rogers - retired USMC Warrant Officer, NYPD Sergeant, and owner operator of EAG Tactical.

MAY, 2016 Pat Rogers passed away folks.
Thx captain obvious.
And all you need is a major credit card to purchase the very same thing that Pat Rogers uses. Right?
We are truly in the Golden Age of firearms. I have gone from an M16 as a Marine and a .357 revolver firing .38+p as a cop to an AR in .300 blk and a Glock 45 in G19 slide with a G17 adjustable grip using Cor-bon +p in 9mm, and it’s getting better.
ok
For some reason I am un-able to whistle at all, but this narrator can do it and talk at the SAME TIME..............I'm impressed.
BCM makes some WONDERFUL carbines
The guy that is narrating besides Travis is a fallen hero so lay off the comments about him ....
RIP Pat. Just came here to say it.
Amen brother
BCM is a great company company. My upper was nothing short of awesome! Fit, finish & quality are up there with the best.
BCM, these videos are extremely well produced. Excellent job.
Ahhh Travis Haley, you're a legend good sir, glad to see you endorsing bcm.
Pat's bcm eag carbine is one sexy lookin rifle. I don't normally like fsp but on the eag it looks great, probably tied for best looking fsp carbines (bcm midlength and the ddm4v1)
Everyone loves shooting my BCM 14.5" middy!
Practically zero recoil with the Surefire MB556 muzzle brake! My perfect set up
We need more of these videos.
Alright, I won't argue with you on this one. I love it when people actually make an educated argument or in your case pointing out a flaw in mine. You win this one but we'll meet again.

Travis Haley for President 2012
The moment I saw the jam, I laughed...Surefire mags
"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by MEN" Good Point Mr. Haley
are soldiers allowed to make their own modifications to their weapons? for example, if he has a better sight, or better muzzle than what the army issues him, can he put those on his gun?
No. Not regular soldiers. SF whole different story.
That's the same range I took th EAG Carbine 2 class at..I wonder if they filmed that prior to or after the class..Either way, both Pat and Travis are pretty cool instructors and wouldn't hesistate taking their courses again.
That's a tourniquet. Recommend one like that for anyone with a weapon in there hands. Ricochet is a mother. That has a plastic handle that will break before the bone so its really good for someone who is new to field med and gets a little carried away
Thanks for the Canadian army, Afghanistan cameo in the vid! 1:32

Just purchased a BCM up here in Socialist Canada. Come and try to take my guns away now!
Well it’s August 2018 walper. They’re coming in September.
I am sorry. Some canadians are actually pretty cool, but that one in specific must face the rake
that video was fucking epic i want that battle comp now.
anyone know what chest rig he is using?
yeah, surefire makes a 60 rd quad stack as opposed to the regular 28-30 double stack.
ohh hell yeahhh haha always happy to see that BCM in action, love my middy and truly can not say enough good things about it
The M4 was introduced in the mid 90s but the concept of the XM4 in its early for was in the mid to late 80s. The XM4 didn't quite look like the M4 that was later adopted

bravo company is awesome just ordered a grip today shipped a few hours later
I was wondering the same thing! Maybe he meant BCE? I went immediatly and looked on BCMs website for a comp but found nothing, though while he said that he had a surefire on his rifle... hmm im guessing an error on his part?
What holster is Haley using in this? Doesnt look like his INCOG....
I'm torn. I just cant decide. I'm about to start a build and just cant decide between Bcm or Daniel Defense. Anyone have an unbiased opinion? It will most likely go ontop of a Spikes lower unless I can be convinced otherwise

Between the options for different barrels (EL, ELF, BHF and SS410) underneath the KMR rails and usually more options for midlength gas systems, I've never understood DD's appeal compared to BCM.
Me either. But there rifles are still squared away so I'd recommend them without feeling bad. I run bcm.
John Brody Rock river arms are very accurate and a lot cheaper the r3 completion model is outstanding stainless flutted barrel..Its no dd or bcm but its a great rifle....
Bcm or palmetto state, don't let people tell you that most lowers aren't the same, they are.
Did Peter Falk help narrate this video?
BCM any plan on building .308 AR's?
1:35 canadian troops using us service carbines?
Love my BCM Upper, BCG, and Charging Handle
well in the magpul videos(if that's what you're referring to) his and Chris main focus was on the civilian shooter. with very little emphasis on military ops and tactics. im sure thats a completely different side of things. just my .02. in the carbine 1 vid (i think)you also saw him and chris shooting from the same barricade one high/one low and they never taught anything even close to that in the class
What were those sights on Mr. Haley's Glock?
Nothing screams being one of the dynamic duo like using a small of the back holster in body armour
BCM is legit, solid and built for war plus some. I used BCM uppers on my last 2 builds and they just run. Quality all the way around and the mid-length is smooth.
How ya doing ray.. I really want to build an ar. it's my first one. my manger has the tools and we're going to work something out. He's very good to work for as also a person . Please feel free to make suggestions opinions and comments of a self built mid length direct impingement. don't want gas, and I read the best about the mid length d.i.
is that the 12' handguard on the upper?
Glad I got a 16" midlength upper while the gettin was good
I love my BCM middy, thousands of rounds and still bustin caps strong.
What kind of holster is it? it looks like you didn't have any trouble re-holstering. my leather IWB holsters are hard to re-holster to after drawing my weapon.
Travis running some US Palm!!! Yeahhhhhh!!!! Boi!!!!!!!!!!
2:32 why would you run your tourniquet on the side of your stock??
Ive never seen a charging handle break I've seen it bend but never break yet you say its common kinda weird.
Is the guy from Columbo narrating this?
Great video!
Now there will be a shortage :(
Will you guys ever release a dissipator upper with a mid-length gas system (More rail space)?
So much hate here in the comments over this guys voice, shame on them. I just ordered my second BCM upper, I'm a BCM fanboy now.
BCM rifles hands down my favorite!!
thanks for the update Dan Rather
Pat: Havoc 6 do you read?
Haley: Copy..In-house Coffee ☕️
Pat: Detonating fronts
Haley: Once it is down I’m. pouring in hot lava.
Pat: Contacts eliminated 💀
RIP Mr. Rogers 🇺🇸
OUTSTANDING
anyone got a bcm qrf?? waiting for the mid length 14/5s to come back in stock....super excited to get a bfh qrf! hopefully soon...anyone got any info on weight? much of a difference from the mcmr?
Anyone know the specs on Travis's second rifle? Wondering the barrel and rail length. Thanks
+QuarterMOA890 thank you.
What type and length of rail system would you guys recommend for a 14.5" barrel?
I love my 14.5 middy. It's a fast smooth shooting machine.
what stock was Haley running?
anybody know the gloves travis is using?
Best of the best BCM
Travis is really cool, extremely good and professional at clearing those corners. No wonder he's spec ops 02:42
He's not spec ops....
5.56 Or 5.45? Used to be... Retired
He's a retired force recon marine
5.56 Or 5.45? And that's spec ops
Is it marsoc? I didn't think it was
spikes is the pinnacle is quality
Umm...so why in gods name are every single BCM rifle and AR pistol variant sold out on BCM’s website? Including lowers?? And, for a while too. Every caliber and every configuration. Why?
what chest rig is Travis Haley wearing in this video?
his own...
+sailure1 Do you think that's the d3 because it's not. I'm asking the brand and model chest rig being worn by Travis Haley in this video. idk if you're just another keyboard warrior who has nothing better to do than be a smart-ass but I'm genuinely asking.
Derrick S Tran
why the fuck do you care what rig he chooses to use? He also uses Charmin Ultra to wipe his ass...does that matter to you also? Stop modeling what works for you on what works for others. There are 11teen billion different rigs...have fun.
Derrick S Tran
you wasted your own time mallninja...you are a joke.
How does BCM stack up against RockRiver ?
BCM is much better.
BCM's are built to mil-spec...RR is not. that doesn't mean RR's are shit though.
***** It does if you're going to be running thousands of rounds through it. RR's aren't bad if you go out and shoot every now and then. But running it heavy they will fall apart. especially for training. If they start getting really dirty.
+Aric Q RR makes a pretty damn nice 2 stage trigger for under $100, I have one in each of my AR builds, nothing short of AWESOME!! but yes BCMs are mil spec and are much much better especially if you're going to abuse them during a class, they hold up beautifully.
Air Frame Helmet?
What triggers are used?
Good shit guys!
Wait! Was that Garandthumb’s dad??
Gotta get one!
BCM is the best.
I just finished my first build it was the Carbine Length Gas System BCM Upper my next will be the Mid- Length!!
Training company? BCM builds guns, correct? Do they even offer training? Also, that man was Travis Haley. However, your quip about attracting COD kids was spot on: It attracted you. The only video uploads you have are game play from cod.
0:21 technically speaking the caliber is the same, They are both .308 projectiles.
Different chambering, not different caliber.
Ambi-Shooter? :P
I doubt they'll make an ambi charging handle, because it'll create a spot for pressure to bind in. Maybe an ambi latch.
The M4 was NOT introduced in the 80s. variants of the shorty Car-15s were used up until the army adopted the M4 in 1997
Is Travis employing his "INCOG" for that Glock 19? Looks like it.
Love this advertisement!
Holy shit...Travis Haley....fast as ever with that trigger finger...
Everyone needs 3 or 4 of these.
I got my middy 14.5 upper in the mail last week ! I cant wait to shoot it
what optic was he running on his AR? it looks like a vortex sparc can anyone help me confirm this?
Probably a T2. Pat Rogers most likely a T1
Thanks :) It looks like he took the COD videos down too!
No idea. But he's former Force Recon with active deployments in conflicts over the last decade, so he probably has a good reason.
BCM complete rifle in the works?? maybe?
man o man .....he could run the new and the old off of 1...very smart man ...he knew his way around the rifle ...will b missed
You know what's cool? Looking at the M2 Carbine used by Charlton Heston in "The Omega Man" and comparing it to a modern AR setup... the equipment has changed, but the concepts haven't.
That was an m3 carbine. It was just an carbine with an infrared scope.
The most unpredictable thing I've ever seen Travis do is wear a holster in the 5 o'clock position after studying over 12 hours of video instruction from him mentioning nothing about it!
Alot of guys will run a cat up front somewhere but the med kit in the rear
thanks for the info
Ya know...... seeing how Travis Haley is in this video...... it's really weird that I'm not pooping.
rip pat
goofy little guy, but man could he run a carbine.
I want that helmet and ear pro they got on.
Simply bad ass! I love my middy.
that teeth whistling is absolutely hilarious!
Just bought the 14.5 bfh
