I received my BCA upper last week and am really happy with it; everything looks good and it operates flawlessly. Nothing looks or feels cheap, there are no flaws in fit or finish and it seems to be just as good as any other name-brand upper that I've checked out.
I wanted a side-charge receiver and the next least-expensive is the bare AR Stoner at Midway for $230.
I paid just over $300 (with Vet discount) for the complete upper: BCA Side Charging AR-15 Complete Upper Assembly, 20" 4150 Black Nitride Heavy Barrel, Straight Flutes, 6.5 Grendel Type II, Rifle Length Gas System, 1:8 5R Twist w/ 15" MLOK
Again, I like everything about this upper and couldn't be happier; it was an amazing deal.
There are lots of reviews of BCA barrels and most seem to like them. I've seen a couple people complaining about them who are making as much noise as possible.
I won't get to fire mine for a few weeks and after a decent break-in period if I'm not happy with the accuracy I will replace the barrel with a brand known for accuracy but to be honest I don't expect to have to do that.
And even if I have to spend another $200-$300 for a barrel that's about what many vendors are charging for an upper that isn't any better than this one.
Just My Opinion.
