Hello there fellas. First post here. I'll give the very brief synopsis of my dealings with BCA and the results I have had with 2 of their products.
I ordered a 20" stainless Grendel upper from Primary Arms and received it very quickly. I stuck the upper on an Anderson lower with a Timney trigger in it. Tried a few types of factory loads (Alexander Arms, Hornady Black ELD match, and Federal Fusion) and could not get better than a 100 yard 4" group. Awful. The Fusion was the best.
I checked my scope mounts and everything I knew to do. Shot again and it was no better. I send BCA a very mater of fact, specific email with pics of the groups. Heard back from them after a few days and the gentlemen I was dealing with asked me to sent it back to his attention. He said it should shoot at least 1 MOA with that ammo.
Weeks later, no updates. Finally heard back from them on a Thursday. They had been waiting for a replacement barrel and told me it would ship that Monday. Never shipped. Countless phone calls and emails later, I received a reply saying my barrel was not in stock. Yes, the one that was supposed to ship a month earlier.
They gave me the option of a few uppers/barrels they had in stock. I ended up with this:
BCA AR-15 BARREL: 20" 4150 BLACK NITRIDE CONTOUR BARREL, 6.5 GRENDEL TYPE II, STRAIGHT FLUTES, W/ 1:8 5R TWIST
Once I let them know which barrel I wanted they had it to me the a few days later. Had a chance to get a few down the pipe and I'm pretty happy with it considering the cost. It was a VERY windy day and I certainly did not take my time. I'm sure with handloads I'll close the groups up some. They are all Hornady Black 123 ELD Match 3 shot groups.
