Model: 750-790 / 750790 • UPC: 812526020475 • Capacity: 30 Rounds (1 Magazine Included)
Built to outlast hard training and bad weather, the Bravo Company RECCE-16 KMR-A Carbine blends precision, durability, and lightweight handling into a single, duty-ready package. Chambered in .223 Remington / 5.56 NATO, this semi-automatic AR-15 features a 16-inch barrel with a 1:7 twist to stabilize heavier match bullets (62–77gr) without giving up performance with 55gr loads. The extended KMR Alpha 15" free-float handguard provides a long, slim support-hand index, rock-solid accessory mounting, and excellent heat management—all while keeping weight to a minimum. Add BCM’s proven ergonomics—the SOPMOD Stock, BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Mod 3 Pistol Grip, and Mod 0 Compensator—and you’ve got a carbine that stays flat, runs clean, and points naturally.
Whether you’re building a trusted home-defense setup, training through high round counts, or stretching practical distance with an LPVO, the RECCE-16 KMR-A is a go-to, optics-ready foundation from one of the most respected names in hard-use rifles.
Why the RECCE-16 KMR-A Stands Out
Balanced 16" Barrel with 1:7 Twist
The ideal do-everything length for dwell time and velocity. 1:7 rifling stabilizes 62–77gr bullets favored for accuracy and terminal performance while remaining friendly to common 55gr practice ammo.
KMR Alpha 15" Free-Float Handguard
The KMR-A’s rigid, lightweight aluminum design keeps the barrel free from external pressures for repeatable accuracy. Its slim profile enhances control and heat dissipation and offers generous KeyMod mounting real estate for lights, switches, and bipods.
BCM Ergonomics & Controls
The BCM SOPMOD stock delivers a stable cheek weld and secure battery/gear storage. The BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Mod 3 grip’s more vertical angle reduces wrist fatigue in modern, squared-up stances.
BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Mod 0 Compensator
Tuned to reduce muzzle rise and flash signature compared to a standard A2, promoting faster sight recovery on follow-ups.
Hard-Use Finishes
An anodized, black receiver set and components resist corrosion and abrasion through rain, dust, and extended training cycles.
Optics-Ready
A flat-top Picatinny upper and continuous top rail on the KMR-A deliver a seamless surface for red dots, magnifiers, or LPVOs, plus backup iron sights (add as desired).

Performance You’ll Notice
Soft, Flat Shooting
The Mod 0 compensator helps tame muzzle rise, pairing with the free-float system to keep your dot/reticle settled for faster splits and cleaner transitions.
Accuracy Through Heat
The extended KMR-A handguard lets you drive the rifle from a long support-hand grip while keeping pressure off the barrel—maintaining consistent POI through longer stages or strings.
All-Day Ergonomics
The SOPMOD stock provides a repeatable cheek weld for red dots and LPVOs, while the Mod 3 grip angle reduces wrist strain in confined or CQB-style positions.
Ideal Use Cases
Home & Property Defense: Maneuverable, reliable, and optics-ready.
Training & Carbine Classes: Lightweight rail, stable stock, and efficient compensator for high round counts.
Practical Competition: KeyMod real estate for lights, handstops, and bipods; 1:7 twist loves 69–77gr match loads.
General Purpose / Recce: Pair with a 1–6× or 1–8× LPVO for a do-everything carbine from 0–500 yards (with appropriate ammo and fundamentals).
Setup & Upgrade Ideas
Optic: Micro red dot for speed or an LPVO to extend reach and PID.
Back-Up Sights: Add fixed or folding irons on the top rail.
White Light: Mount at the 10:30 or 1:30 position with a remote switch routed along the KMR-A.
Two-Point Sling: QD or KeyMod-mounted sling points for stability and transitions.
Trigger Upgrade: A quality single- or two-stage trigger can further tighten practical accuracy.
Care & Maintenance
BCG & Gas System: Keep contact points lightly lubricated; inspect extractor, gas rings, and cam pin at service intervals.
Barrel & Chamber: Use a proper bore solvent/brush; free-float design eases cleaning around the gas block.
Handguard Mounting: Check fasteners for torque after hard range days.
Magazines: Rotate magazines and inspect feed lips/followers for reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I run .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO interchangeably?
A: Yes. The rifle is chambered for 5.56 NATO, which safely accepts .223 Remington as well.
Q: What accessories mount to the KMR-A handguard?
A: The KMR-A uses the KeyMod pattern. Add KeyMod accessories directly or use adapters for other interfaces.
Q: What bullet weights pair best with 1:7 twist?
A: It excels with 62–77gr loads (69–77gr often shine for accuracy) while still running common 55gr practice ammo.
Q: Is it suppressor-friendly?
A: Yes—most 16" 5.56 carbines work well suppressed. Use a proper muzzle device, consider an adjustable gas block or buffer tuning, and follow suppressor manufacturer guidelines.
Q: Does it include sights?
A: This configuration is optics-ready. Add your preferred sights/optic to the continuous top rail.
