BCA “quality”

[39flathead]

While I financially profit from fixing this companies fuck ups (to be fair they do correct their fuck ups but many customers just want their gun fixed now and don*t want to wait for it to be sent back).

The latest pile of trash started as a customer bringing in his rifle and saying the handguard was loose.

Well it was, as in the barrel nut wasn*t tight. The rifle was a few days old.

This is the mess I found after taking off the HG:

















Now, as many of you know from building your own, a four sided nut is good, a six or eight would work but a five flat nut where the five flats aren*t even flats makes it impossible to tighten that nut except with maybe a pipe wrench.

Also note the use of oil in the threads, I*ve yet to take apart a Palmetto or BCA upper that had moly on it, always light oil.

I was also doing up a Trump gun for another customer also using a new and unfired BCA upper and I was able to use that nut to fix the other customers gun. On this upper I had to for the first time ever on a new factory upper use not only heat but also a four foot cheater pipe on my 1/2* breaker bar to remove the nut that was in no way torqued properly.

So one was never torqued and the other was grossly over torqued.

Again, I*m sure they*ll send a replacement barrel nut but c*mon, this is ridiclous.

The Trump upper if anyone is interested, my third of last week:



Just ranting... If you have a BCA rifle/upper id strongly suggest you take off the HG and check that nut for the correct torque. This isn*t the first of these I*ve had to fix.

Eeesh.

That's gross.
(BCA quality, to clarify.)

Seeing that trump gun must have pissed you off.

If BCA is Bear Creek Arsenal, their reputation is well known...

Seeing that trump gun must have pissed you off.

Why?

It makes me money.

Just because Trump ruined my job and put me in debt doesn*t mean I hate him.
Unlike the snowflakes here and elsewhere I can criticize someone but still agree with them on some things.
Being a baglicker isn*t my forte, that*s for others to practice.

And as long as people keep bringing this shit up I*ll keep responding in kind.
Trump is an overall failure, so what? That doesn*t make me cry. Trump Did a few good things, very few, could have did much more if he wasn*t such a narcissist but that*s for history to decide.

I don't see nuffin' but what do I know? And I thought you were taking your ball and going home?

[39flathead]

Nope, but my lust of provocateur baglickers keeps growing.

But but but “just as good!”

Well there's your problem.

Just so everyone knows..... I don*t charge people a dime to fix their AR. (Just parts if needed). I also teach people to do their own work.(no charge) But then, I*m not a Rabid Dog with Stage5 TDS!
