FG - there are two ways to support this type of marketing campaign.
1. Improve process and QC measures so that the mean quality and accuracy of each barrel improves to the stated performance.
or
2. Test fire each barrel destined for the "SUB ONE EXTREME" line of uppers and simply reject all that fail accuracy tests, passing on only those with the desired accuracy. (This is Intel's method for rating processor speed.) The remaining barrels usually end up on secondary markets, sold at steep discounts.
Method one is more expensive, in the short run, but pays dividends down the road in terms of better process.
Method two costs nothing in the way of infrastructure, but builds in a permanent margin to the cost of production.
As far as the motivation is concerned, I would say it's straight up simple. They read the reviews just the same as we do. If press is bad, sales go down. The principle complaints about BCA, as you stated, seem to revolve around their QC. This is a way to draw attention away from that and position them into the "Low cost / Decent accuracy" category of uppers.

If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
