Re: BCA “quality”
I ate the forbidden fruit of Anderson many times but never dipped into the lake of fire that is BCA and I’m glad I drew the line there.

Re: BCA “quality”
I had considered them for barrels and lowers in the past, but ultimately never bought anything from them.
I used to post their stuff in the deals thread, but once they started pricing their shit as if it were a collectible Colt (as SOON as the panic buying began), I gave up on them, unsubscribed, and hadn't thought about them until this thread.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: BCA “quality”
When did they price that high? Right now, they are still lower than Palmetto, and I don't think I have seen them higher ever...
Being in stock is another story with both they and Palmetto, as well as most everybody else.
I do have one of their uppers BTW, it seems to be OK.Illegitimus non carborundum est

Re: BCA “quality”
I'm not going to pile on BCA as I bought a 6.5 Grendel barrel from PA for $50 and it shoots MOA. The threads didn't look right and BCA sent me an RMA and replaced my barrel. I will say that the return guy at BCA pissed me off as he told me he was holding a barrel for my replacement and he never did, so it took a little longer to get my replacement barrel.
I've spent much more than $50 on a bad meal, so I took the risk with BCA barrel. BCA will make it right, so why not risk it for $50? Hell, "top tiered" companies have lemons go through their production as well and you will spend 6X the money, so put things into perspective.

Re: BCA “quality”
Both BCA and PSA went thru significant shortages and corresponding price increases. Both are roughly $100 more than they were not too long ago for comparable uppers as of now. I know you follow this more than most, so I will defer to your judgement. My only regret is that I did not have funds available back when PSA had good BCGs at two for $100, and similar bargains back in the glory days of low prices...

Re: BCA “quality”
When I think of getting "cheaper" stuff I amortize the extra cost over the expected lifetime of the product and usually go with the better stuff. For example I've seen a lot of comments about getting the steel die sets for 5.56 reloading because they work OK. I spent the extra $100 there for the carbide set without a second thought. I'd do the same for rifle parts.

Re: BCA “quality”
I'm not going to pile on BCA either, ahhh bullshit I'm lying ;-)
I too bought a $50 BCA barrel to get into the .458 Socom game. Got a bunch of failure to ejects, failure to reload etc. Finally worked up the nerve to do my own gas port enlargement. Now it works.
It being a big bore barrel it needed the larger threaded (5/8"?) flash suppressor and crush washer which I also bought from them. They sent me a 1/2x28 crush washer. Took me weeks to get them to respond to my request for return/replacement. When they did, they sent me another 1/2x28 crush washer. Finally gave up and ordered a pack of them off of Amazon.
BUT I knew their reputation and accepted the risk on a $50 barrel"It seems that the Constitution is more or less guidelines than actual rules"

Re: BCA “quality”
I would be more comfortable buying BCA parts and assembling the gun myself than buying an already assembled gun from them.
Everybody knows I use rocks for hammers and screwdrivers for punches, but I still feel better knowing that I assembled it myself.
Well, with the exception of some things like the BCG, charging handle, buffer tube, and trigger - I would want better quality brands for those items.
Which is the beauty of building from scratch. Use the parts YOU want.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!
