Bear Creek Arsenal Complete Uppers

[Dcommoncents]

these look like a great deal but I'm a little nervous to roll the dice on such a cheap upper. does anyone have 1 with 1000+ rounds through it. I would hate to buy one and have it shoot like shit or break after 500 rounds.

My sample size is small, probably around 120 rounds so far, but as shown by the targets I posted above the results from my BCA upper have been quite promising. Since I fixed my broken buffer issue, it has run 100% flawlessly using my AA elander mag. I'm not a barrel wear expert, but I can't see the accuracy degrading between now and 1k rounds, particularly since the barrel is black nitrided, unless perhaps the nitriding process was not done properly. I haven't heard any reports of that though.

In my opinion, admittedly based upon my limited experience with BCA, I would say don't worry about it. All recent reports from those who have actually seen and shot BCA barrels have been positive. Whatever issues the company or its predecessor had before look to be resolved. And as Randy pointed out, there's really not too much risk given the low price, which may not last if BCA continues to gain traction and improve its reputation.

I hate sounding like a BCA fanboy -- I'm not and have no affiliation with the company or anyone who does -- but I have just been impressed with the high value products it seems to be putting out and want to support that effort.
