The entire upper was super dirty. I stripped everything I could off it and disassembled the bolt carrier. The thing had tool chips in every nook and cranny. Never seen a new gun part this dirty, not even my wasr was this dirty new.I
Reassembled and lubed it. Took it too the range and bolt smoothed right out. Was forced to start reloading, so did a quick load development and was shooting 1.3"moa at 100 yards. 4 shot group. One was way off, that might have been me. Hope to see if I can improve this once it warms up a little. Plus, now that I have more powder choices and brass.
I contacted BCA on the flash hider tool marks. Since this is a stainless barrel and flash hider and they look so pretty, I wanted a replacement flash hider. The one they sent me had more tool marks on it then the one on the barrel now.
My two cents. There price is good for what they are. Would buy from them again in a pinch.

Definitely a crap shoot with bca which is reflected in the price point, for a drag around shtf upper the price is right. I only have experience with 2 450 bm uppers from bca, both were actually clean and free of defects except some scratches on the bbl. I still have the 18" upper and it actually shoots great, taken many deer with it. The other was a 6.5 grr that was a real pos! Groups were more like patterns. This 22 upper is rather nice, it was clean and free of defects and really does shoot, far beyond my expectations for sure.
