THE GUNFIGHTER GOES GAS!
By Bill Thomas
VeagForceCompany produce some fabulous “6MM TRAINING” gas AR platforms, and work closely with real-world
firearm manufacturers to ensure that their recreations are 100% spot-on, so this time Bill turns his attention
to their take on the BCM MCMR, an absolutely fantastic GBBR “trainer”!
C’mon, anyone who knows me, or that reads PMCI
regularly knows that I am just a HUGE VFC fanboy
when it comes to gas training carbines that mimic
the real-deal down to the smallest detail! VFC are
a company that I’ve got to know very well indeed,
and I’ve used their high-quality, innovative
creations pretty much from the day they started!
I’ve got to know Ray at VFC pretty well and speak
to him these days not just as a trusted contact in
a truly global industry, but also as a personal friend, now of some
years standing.
That means that when Ray tells me, with his “work hat” on,
that something amazing is coming, I trust his opinion 100%. Of
course when it comes to VFC GBBRs (Gas Blow Back Rifles) I also
have the experience of many years use of their models on the
range, and those models have all had literally thousands of BBs
through them, so I know just a little about how VFC platforms
perform not only as new, but also as they age. Bottom line is that
VFC is a brand that I 100% trust (although like any brand they’ve
had their ups and downs), and the fact that I have a really good
friend inside the company means that I get to know about things
in advance and get all excited but have to say “sorry, my lips are
sealed…”
It’s been pretty obvious that a new model that I have been
massively excited about is the MCMR (M-LOK Compatible Modular
Rail) created by VFC under their new partnership and licencing
agreement with Bravo Company USA, Inc (BCM), and after thorough
and extensive range-testing this magnificent carbine has proved to
be everything I’d been led to believe it would be, and more!
I absolutely adore a GBBR knowing that it’s gone through all
the checks and balances pre-production, thorough torture-testing,
design and re-design, and a carefully controlled manufacturing
process before I part with any cash. I also like a properly licenced
replica as I know then what I’m getting is going to be as close to
the “real deal” as possible, and VFC are past masters at conforming
to all of the aforementioned processes.
I had massively high hopes that the gas version of the MCMR
would be every bit as good as the models, like my SR16, that came
before! I already own a couple of VFC gassers and love them as
both training tools and exact replicas of a firearm that I sadly can’t
own legally here in the UK, and in fact that VFC SR16 GBBR is one of
my absolute favourite “trainers” and has already given me a couple
of years of sterling service and much enjoyment; in fact, if pushed,
I would have to admit that until very recently this has been my
favourite carbine amongst MANY that I own, including my .22LRs!
But then just a few months ago came the BCM MCMR; I had
thought that the SR16 would take a long time before it was knocked
off pole position, but then my dear friend Ray messaged me to say
that he was sending me over the gas version of the MCMR… and
ALL bets were off!
