So I'm no longer a fan of the BCM KMR, the original magnesium variant as I have no experience with the Alpha.

Why? Because it is super weak sauce.

The firearm was leaning against a wall, unloaded, on a rug carpet. It fell over. It landed on the front offset iron sight, which is a Griffin Armament. Ultimately a VERY low impact event.

Here is how well the KMR DIDN'T handle it.

And here is the front sight, which is what took the impact, and still looks new out of the wrapper.

Seriously? This is unacceptable. A front sight can no longer be utilized at the front of the forend anymore with any ghost of a hope of being aligned with a rear, and that's from simply falling over on a rug.

I'll will be contacting BCM about this and will report with how it pans out.
