Had to use a brush and carb cleaner to get the bore clean. Rag and Brake fluid worked for the reciever and bolt. I have fire 27 rounds through it and both reloads tested shot very well though one was just a Moscow match thing. Going out right now to try the newest load using 29.5 grains of BLC2 and the 120 gr. Barnes Matchburner. I have some Hornady Black ELDM but have enough brass not to need to shoot it up.
And supposedly every BCA upper only leaves the premises after having 3 shots test-fired at their proving range. Hard to believe that one was fired and retained all that grease in the bore and even harder to believe that they test-fired it and THEN greased it up like it was going into cold storage.
Not doubting you at all; just doubting BCA carried through on their claims.
