Okay, just to say up front I'm a Haley and BCM fan boy, but I don't really know what I think about this new rifle. A few of the features are cool, but some of the stuff, like the stock, I don't like. Seems they are putting somethings on it because Haley gets something for it. What do you guys think?

Buy this overpriced, hyped up carbine and MAKE ME RICH, or you can't slay bodies.

It's a sweet little piece, but I imagine the price is going to put it firmly out of the "working man's rifle" and into the "fanboy" area.

The gun is MSRPed at $2145

It's just got a lot of neat features.

Very little you couldn't acquire on line w/out a "Name" attached to it.

That butt stock is hideous. Looks like a Magpul ACS and a typical M4 collapsible had a baby.

I'll just stick with my desire to get a Daniel Defense Mk4 SBR... But Travis Haley is one of my heroes.

Ouch that is some cash but to be expected with the 'cachet' of Haley.
I think it would be more fun to build one myself [Coffee]

Is that the new B5 stock? I can't remember what it is called, BCM sells it now.

I know Travis probably could justify why for every single part on there and he probably thinks this is the best thing in the world (at that price point) and he could be right. But it doesn't work for me.

I am a fan of building out my own stuff - choosing my lower, my upper, my hand guards, my trigger, my butt stock, etc. So this doesn't appeal to me. But for many less technically inclined I am sure they will sell like a $2 whore at a truck stop. I just want more BCM lowers.

All that said it needs a longer handguard. I understand why he went with a pinned 14.5 but meh. I am guessing that there will be variations in the future depending on market demand.

I do like the grey though. I used to have several AR's and FALs that colour (Duracoat Sig 550 grey).

I guess I don't get it. Nice gun, but... $2k+?? No thanks. I'd take an AR6520, 10 PMags and 3k rounds of ammo for that kind of scratch. Probably have enough left over for lunch, too.
