About This Firearm
The BCM RECCE-16 is a government-profile semi-automatic AR-15 in 5.56 NATO built for duty and defensive use, and Bravo Company still builds it. Its barrel steel is independently certified 11595E, with the bore and chamber chrome lined and manganese phosphate over the whole outside, so no part of the barrel is left bare under the handguard.
It comes with one magazine where state law allows, a cable lock and a USGI manual, and the stock adjusts for length. The MCMR handguard is M-LOK on three sides and uses the lock-up Bravo Company developed for its KMR-Alpha rail, so lights and sling mounts bolt on directly. No sights are fitted. The selector and charging handle are standard right-handed mil-spec parts, and the fire controls are marked SAFE and SEMI.
If you're cross-shopping, a Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 has an MSRP of $2,073, weighs 0.10 lbs more and adds an ambidextrous selector and a hard case. An FN 15 TAC3 has an MSRP of $1,889 and fits Radian ambidextrous controls, at 0.90 lbs heavier. The RECCE-16 keeps mil-spec right-handed controls, so a left-handed owner should price a selector and a charging handle in.

Strengths & Limitations
- The receivers are machined from 7075-T6 forgings and hardcoat anodized to MIL-A-8625F Type III, Class 2.
- The carrier is a chrome-lined full-auto profile, its gas key is hardened to USGI specifications and staked with grade 8 fasteners, and the buffer is a USGI H weight with one tungsten and two steel weights.
- The barrel extension is cut with M4 feed ramps to match the ramps in the upper receiver.
- Running it from the weak shoulder means reaching across the receiver for the selector, and both that part and the charging handle are owner replacements.
- There is no case, no sights and no spare magazine, so an optic and magazines come on top of the rifle.
- Nothing on it adjusts beyond stock length, so a lighter trigger or an adjustable gas block is a change the owner makes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What trigger does it have?
Bravo Company's PNT. The sear surfaces are hand polished and the group is coated in nickel with Teflon particles embedded in it, which Bravo Company credits with cutting friction a further 300 percent below mil-spec. It is made in the USA and sold on its own as well.
Will standard AR-15 parts fit it?
Yes, everything except the handguard. The receivers, bolt carrier group, trigger, stock, grip and magazines are mil-spec patterns, and the MCMR handguard mounts on Bravo Company's own lock-up.
What comes in the box?
The rifle, one magazine where state law allows it, a cable lock and a USGI manual.
