When BM changed hands a few years back quality control seemed to slip. Today you can build a mil-spec AR cheaper than buying a commercial spec BM.
That said, I own two older BM's, ten plus years old, and they have been 100% GTG. I'm not concerned about the 4140 barrel in 1-9 twist. They digest M193 just fine, also M855. I'm about due to change the BCG in my M4gery and I'll go with a mil-spec BCG, probably NiB. I have about 8k rounds on the original BCG and I have changed the extractor one time.
If you do a Google search you can find problems with every manufacturer out there. Considering BM sells more AR's than any other manufacturer it only stands to reason they would have more reported problems. I think if you broke it down to percentage of bad guns produced, it would be similar with all manufacturers.
