They are rectifying it though, as they mailed out a plug to me already. It might have been a clearance kind of thing, and the plug wasn't part of the deal at the time. But in the future it is possible that the plug may be a optional kind of thing.
Don't shoot it without the plug. They need it, as you already stated, to keep the hot gases out of your face. The BCA uppers all come with the plug screw except for the "stripped" side charging uppers. Which is kind of silly because their side charging uppers don't have forward assists or dust covers. You can buy just the plug screw for $10 from BCA. This makes sense as a spare part in case you loose the original. I'm not sure why they sell a proprietary upper without the proprietary plug screw. I can see it for their rear or "dual" charging uppers since they use standard charging handles, but not in this case. I'm glad that they are sending you one and making it right.
I've used or sold probably over 20 of the BCA side charging uppers and BCGs. Never once have I had a problem with them. All of my personal ones have worked flawlessly and no customer has ever come back with a complaint about them. Good uppers and BCGs, especially for the price.
