BCM RECCE-16 KMR-A – .300 Blackout, 16" Barrel, 30+1 Capacity
Hard-Coat Anodized Receivers • Manganese Phosphate Barrel/BCG Surfaces • KMR-A Free-Float Handguard • 6-Position Stock • BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Mod 3 Grip
Model: 653790 • UPC: 812526020499
Meet the do-more carbine for modern shooters. The BCM RECCE-16 KMR-A in .300 Blackout blends battle-proven Bravo Company reliability with the caliber flexibility of .300 BLK—run quiet, subsonic loads for suppressed work or hard-hitting supersonics for hunting and defensive use. A 16" barrel delivers smooth cycling and velocity, while the KMR-A free-float handguard keeps weight down and point of impact consistent. With Type III hard-coat anodized 7075-T6 receivers, manganese phosphate wear surfaces, a 6-position stock, and the BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Mod 3 pistol grip, the RECCE-16 KMR-A is built for training days, night shoots, and real-world application.
Whether you’re building a suppressor-ready home/carbine setup, stretching practical distance with an LPVO, or hunting with heavy .30-cal bullets, the RECCE-16 KMR-A (.300 BLK) is a rock-solid, optics-ready foundation.
Why This RECCE-16 KMR-A Stands Out
.300 Blackout Versatility
Seamlessly swap between subsonic loads for suppressed control and supersonic for reach and terminal performance—no bolt swap required. (Use .300 BLK-specific magazines and never mix with 5.56.)
16" BCM Barrel + Free-Float Accuracy
The BCM barrel provides dependable velocity and dwell, while the KMR-A free-float handguard prevents external pressure from shifting zero and offers a long, slim index for modern support-hand placement.
Hard-Use Finishes
Type III hard-coat anodized 7075-T6 upper/lower receivers resist abrasion and corrosion; critical steel components feature manganese phosphate for proven wear resistance.
Ergonomics That Work
BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Mod 3 grip uses a more vertical angle that reduces wrist fatigue in squared-up stances; the 6-position stock dials length of pull for armor, seasonal layers, or different shooters.
Optics-Ready Upper
Flat-top receiver and continuous top rail on the KMR-A make it easy to mount red dots, magnifiers, or an LPVO, plus backup irons (as desired).

Performance You’ll Notice
Soft, Trackable Impulse
.300 BLK’s pressure curve pairs with the 16" system for smooth cycling and fast sight recovery, especially when combined with modern comps or suppressors.
True Free-Float Precision
The KMR-A prevents sling/barricade pressure from influencing POI and gives you plenty of rail estate for lights, switches, QD sling mounts, bipods, and hand stops.
All-Weather Durability
Hard-coat anodized receivers and manganese phosphate wear surfaces hold up to high round counts, inclement weather, and aggressive training schedules.
Ideal Use Cases
Home & Property Defense (Suppressed-Ready): Run subsonic .300 BLK for reduced blast with a can and proper ammo selection.
Hog/Deer Hunting (Where Legal): Supersonic .30-cal projectiles provide reliable terminal performance from a compact carbine.
Training & Night Work: Long rail for light/laser integration; controllable recoil for fast, accurate strings.
General-Purpose / Recce: Pair with a 1–6× or 1–8× LPVO for 0–300+ yard problem-solving.
Setup & Upgrade Ideas
Optic: Micro red dot for speed or an LPVO to extend PID and range.
Illumination: Mount a weapon light at 10:30/1:30 with a tape switch routed along the KMR-A.
Sling: Two-point QD sling for transitions and positional stability.
Muzzle Device / Suppressor: Choose a brake/flash hider or a suppressor mount; verify timing and torque.
Trigger: A quality single- or two-stage unit can help unlock .300 BLK’s accuracy potential.
Ammo Tips for Best Results
Subsonic: 190–220gr bullets for quiet, suppressor-centric shooting; confirm gas tuning and function.
Supersonic: 110–150gr hunting/defense loads for flatter trajectory and terminal effect.
Zero Strategy: Many shooters prefer a 50/200-yd or 100-yd zero; confirm holds for both subs and supers.
Care & Maintenance
BCG & Gas System: Keep contact points lightly lubricated; .300 BLK subs can be sootier, so clean at sensible intervals.
Handguard & Mounts: Re-check KMR-A fasteners and accessory screws after high-round days.
Mag Management: Dedicate and mark magazines for .300 BLK to avoid cross-caliber mistakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I shoot 5.56/.223 in this rifle?
A: No. This rifle is chambered for .300 AAC Blackout only. Never load 5.56/.223 into a .300 BLK barrel.
Q: What accessories fit the KMR-A?
A: The KMR-A uses KeyMod. Mount KeyMod accessories directly or use adapters for other interfaces.
Q: Is it suppressor friendly?
A: Yes. .300 BLK excels suppressed—especially with subsonic ammunition. Follow suppressor and ammo manufacturer guidelines and consider buffer/gas tuning if needed.
Q: What bullet weights work best?
A: Subs: 190–220gr; Supers: 110–150gr. Test a few loads to confirm accuracy and reliable cycling.
Q: Does it include sights?
A: It’s optics-ready. Add your preferred sights/optic to the continuous top rail.
