The three bad BCA uppers I had, all seemed well built and cycled well, I never tried a stainless steel because BCA claim they were least accurate models they sold. Before buying my BCA I asked their customer support team which barrel were the most accurate. BCA email comment was "As far as the best upper for accuracy - an 18" with either Parkerized (P) or Melonite (M) finish." They claimed their stainless steel barrels were the less accurate than their 4150 barrels.
Please share photo of your shot groups when you get the next one, good and bad.
The lowest prices backed up with a 1 MOA guarantee along with a promo code from 704 Tactical is what led me to get my BCA Grendel upper.
I'm surprised the BCA team said the Melonite or Parkerized is more accurate. I am still scratching my head about what the same folks said about the Melonite barrels only being "treated" on the outside and not inside. This comment just causes me more "scratching of head."
I was in a rush the last time I was at the range, but, hopefully, I'm going to be able to take pics and video my next time out with the BCA Grendel to report back here.
Keep me posted about your new set up. Did you just replace the barrel or did you get an entire new upper with the Faxon barrel?
