Interesting...



What say ye, poofers?

I'll wait until they offer it in a 10.5" .300 blk. Preferably after other people have beta tested it.

Nah.

I have two BCA uppers. They're cheap, but they work. Pretty well, actually. I'd have no problem buying another, especially if I can get a piston upper for significantly less than anything else. Hell, I think the Wolf A1 is the only piston upper that comes close to matching the price.

I bought a couple barrels off of them for my glocks. They work but were a little rough. Good for the price but I had to take a file to both of them to fit my slides. I would buy from them again.

I bought a .458SOCOM barrel from them along with a flash suppressor and 5/8" crush washer.

The gun kept short stroking, so after a lot of research I got my drill out and enlarged the gas port until it worked. Problem seems to be solved, but it's damned expensive to shoot .458SOCOM

The other headache is that they sent me a 1/2" crush washer on a barrel that needed a 5/8". It took me forever to make contact with customer service. When I finally did and explained the error on their part they promptly sent me another 1/2" crush washer. I gave up and ordered one from Amazon.

The barrel was only $50 on clearance so I was willing to take a chance on them. Unfortunately they lived up to their reputation as reported on the 458 SOCOM forums. I won't buy from them again

had several customers buy bear creek stuff because it was cheap. I warned them that you get what you pay for. they learned their lesson after the junk they bought wouldn't work and their customer service stiffed them. they send me dealer postcards frequently inviting me to be a stocking dealer....I laugh and just use them as a coaster for my coffee cup. some dealers like them because they sell, other dealers wont even touch them. it comes down to the fact that if you get one that actually works...good on you. if you get one that doesn't....you just threw your money away.

BCA?? Nope!!!
Only barrels that came off the line using a newer reamer. (Maybe 5 out of every 200). Horrible toolmarks, chatter and overall quality! The upper parts are adequate but if you don't go over the upper making sure the gas ports/lines are aligned, the GV isn't wide open or not there and/or loose, the BCG's are junked and everything is tight, there is a great chance it will fail early.
You can get lucky but..............odds favor the house! BCA treats the term "MOA" as Minute of Area!

Agreed...NOPE!!! I have a BCA barrel, makes a good leverage bar now. To blingy for a tomato stake
