I think I got lucky with a Bear Creek upper in 450 Bushmaster

I also have my Kalikey which will allow me to hunt with my AR since it converts the AR to a bolt action. I confirmed with a state game warden that Pa has ok'd the use of the kalikey.

Has anyone discussed adjustable gas blocks with the game warden? Like, adjust it all the way closed and leave the tool at home?

I took a chance on a 6.5 Grendel barrel...it was $50 and it shoots 1MOA with factory ammo. For the price, I felt that BCA was a great value. Yes, BCA has had some bad products, but the company has made it right by their customers.

I own four 6.5 Grendels from the BCA to Bartlein and Lilja barrels...the BCA is the least expensive option and it shot the largest group of the 6.5 Grendel barrels that I own.

I wouldn't have an issue buying from BCA....I would know that it won't be top tiered product, but I'd also know that if I did encounter an issue...I could contact BCA and they would take care of the issue.
