Background
Bravo Company Manufacturing grew out of Bravo Company USA, a supplier founded by a former U.S. Marine, and built its reputation supplying mil-spec AR-15 bolts, barrels, and complete carbines to professional users. The RECCE name evokes the reconnaissance-oriented, lightweight general-purpose carbine concept.
