Disclaimer - all of this is my personal experience -Disclaimer.
KAC SR15 I have approximately 1400 with this rifle and I sold it. My issue with it is that the gas system is very tightly tuned. By that I mean if I was not using very specific ammo, I had feeding failures. In addition, every three or four hundred rounds I needed to clean the rifle in order for it to function properly.
Radian Model 1 - I actually don't have anything bad to say about it. It has functioned flawlessly, a much better experience than the KAC for instance. I sold mine and replaced it with the ADM UIC MOD 2. For those that are not aware a Radian is effectively the ADM with very little difference but more than 1k more expensive. That is a lot of money for a roll mark.
Bravo Recce - I kind of liken this AR to a Glock. It is very rugged and it is very reliable. It just works. My issue with this one is that it is very over gassed and was just unpleasant to shoot. Sold it as well as I did not want to replace the fillings in my teeth.
A common positive of the above three rifles is that their brand names have real value. I made money on the KAC and Radian, the BCM was close to break even.
The three rifles that I am currently rotating through when I shoot now are
1) ADM UIC MOD 2 - if you like the Radian you will like this rifle. It is a little more gassed than the KAC but it is not unpleasant to shoot in anyway. It is a 1 MOA rifle at 100 yards and I now have a little more than 4k rounds through it without a failure of any kind including shooting some crap steel cased ammo, being rather rough with it, and not cleaning or maintaining it religiously.
2) JP - 15 Professional Rifle - As much as I like the ADM, the JP 15 is just a little better. The JP is a sub MOA rifle at 100 yards. On several occasions we have shot a couple of rifles and it prints the tightest group. The JP is the most pleasant to shoot, the tuning on the gas system (adjustable gas block) along with their bcg and their buffer (silent capture spring) are all very nice. I use a Dead Air can and the JP results in the least amount of gas in the face of all of the DI guns that I have shot. Unlike the ADM, I do need to put effort into cleaning/lubing this rifle.
3) The PWS Mk 114 Mod 2 - for those that don't know, this is an AR style platform that utilizes a long stroke piston like an AKM. This is far and away my favorite rifle to shoot with a can and none of the DI rifles really compare. It has a 3 setting adjustable gas block and when you set it for suppressed you can just go to town with it. This rifle is currently at 5200 rounds and again not a single failure. Because most of the gas is vented up front, you almost never need to clean it. It is another accurate rifle in that it is 1 MOA with most of the ammunition we have used. My gripes are minor, I would recommend changing the trigger and it does not have a forward assist.
