.22 Magnum vs. .22 LR: Which is Better?

[@billdont2458]

Got my 22LR upper for training purposes. My boys and I both use it for those purposes. Last range trip my daughter in-law went with us. I got her started with the 22lr upper. By the end of the day she was shooting all of our larger AR guns and asked if we could build her one. She didn't know I was already way ahead of her. 😂🤣😂🤣 I told her " absolutely, you may have to defend yourself and my grandkids". Her jaw dropped and you could see the light come on. She said "I've never thought about that but you're right". I said "yep, you are your own first responder". She now gets it.

The BCA studio is movin on up!!! 👍👍 btw, HR said she'd like to have a raise🤑

[@noncompliant209cali]

Studio looks awesome! I need to get me a .22 upper

[@aPoorsPerspective]

Got a 12.7x42 upper from y'all for $274!!!! It's the cheapest way I could get into .50 Cal and for that I thank you.

[@lordofwar9638]

Would love a .22 upper, but for the cost BCA has them for I would prob opt for a 5.56, 7.62, .300 blackout, or maybe even a .450 bushmaster.

[@STANDYOURSHORTYBULLS]

Dammm you guys are looking more and more professional with the Channel🤘

[@mcdoctorglock]

I'm saving up for the 16" upper. Nice work! I would love to see more domestic gun manufacturers make rifles in .22 TCM, especially a 10-11" pistol in this caliber- it can be fed from PMags modified with Mean Arms Mag Guts 9mm conversion kits, and use a regular 5.56 bolt carrier assembly. Only the barrel would have to be special made. The .22 TCM cartridge is more powerful than .22 Magnum, 5.7x28 FN, and the 4.6 H&K; yet it is easy to reload and source brass from chopped down 5.56 brass.

[@sticksnstonespatriot1728]

Agreed.

[@Iamgoon73]

New studio looks good.

[@011CJ]

Any time I have to cash to buy one to get my kids in to shooting you are sold out lol glad to c you guys are busy and making the well-deserved sales I love your product

[@theirishman6728]

Still hoping you are able to release a 17hmr version next. 🙏

[@ralphcooper6985]

I do love my bear creek uppers. Can't believe I never picked up the 22lr upper.... Still like my cmmg conversion but it might be time for a dedicated 22 upper.

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

The accuracy is way better with the BCA dedicated upper over the CMMG conversion in a AR .223/5.53 due to barrel interior specs…and I’m a BIG CMMG fan…I’m keeping the CMMG conversion as a SHTF option if I can’t have the BCA upper in my possession when it happens (hopefully I’ll never ever have to make that choice 🙏🙏🙏).

[@marksanney2088]

Congratulations on your new studio. Really like the vintage industrial look. Thank you for continuing to supply informative firearm videos, my friend. Looking forward to picking up a 22LR upper. However, I would like to know if your 22LR bcg will support a full auto application. Thanks again for your videos, quality made in America products and your generous giveaways. Have a great Spring and Summer and may God be pleased to continue to bless and keep the great Republic that is the United States of America.🇺🇸🦅

[@Bear_Creek_Arsenal]

Thanks for your support! Our .22 LR bcg is not full auto compatible

[@christopherwalts9378]

Hey I see you get contacted to for this giveaway is this real

[@marksanney2088]

@@christopherwalts9378, since I was OT contacted with an email concerning my “winning” the previous contest, I erred on the side of caution and simply disregarded it as a scam. Would love to win. However, not interested in wasting my time with such scams. Probably someone using BCA KZbin videos to facilitate their criminal activities.

[@Ted_P]

I’m going to get one of the 22LR uppers and put a huge tanker muzzle brake on it.

[@travismassengale4923]

A 18inch 17hmr would be sick!!!

[@loupuleff571]

Have a 22 mag and just bought a 22 lr bca makes great uppers just don't like that you can't get any spare parts but my 22 mag upper is great !

[@kevb5802]

Do a .17 and I'll get it I can imagine y'all will be able to double stack the mag and beings the projectile is slightly smaller it'll be a little more flat shooting at longer ranges. Oh and waiting on y'all with the pistol .308 uppers "I know it is probably considered overkill/ridiculous by some but they sell the same could be done to the 6.5"

[@bronsonspencer8567]

Yes make a 17 HMR and I will be fist in line for the upper.

[@michaelmendoza1818]

I wish bear creek learned from the .22lr and made it so that you can use the bolt hold open and have mags for it. It’s fun plinking but a lot of people want to do tactical reloads with these things while saving money on the ar platform. People have to mod mags and a bolt catch to make it work in their WMR and figure out a modded bolt hold open. Please make a fix.

[@TrueHelpTV]

It would be pretty cool if they made affordable suppressors for these =D

[@mikereese15]

Good stuff!

[@mikehalfmoonmullins404]

Sure hope y'all make a stainless steel twist / fluted upper in both versions

[@ijteague]

Will my current .223 lower drop right in this and start plunking? Or does the spring and weight need changed out? Does this come with the parts if so or do you offer them?

[@gunpowderandprotein3444]

When you order the kit it comes with a new spring a tube. You switch out your current setup use the supplied mag and start shooting! I'll be doing a review on my channel soon if you're interested!

[@peterreily1490]

I thought the same thing in college. Green backlighting would show the big moves I’m making. Turns out, I did a full 360 degree loop. I DID however stop by Daniel defense on the way. I did an entire loop, I was expecting the 22-250 To be ready for pick up when I got back. Sooo… how longs the wait? My little light up buzzer went off already, just like at Olive Garden in a 1 horse town on a Friday night waiting for a table. I’m by noo means a BCA fan. The GPX is ok. I’ll buy their stuff to encourage them to keep making better version. So how ‘bout a 22-250?

[@Bear_Creek_Arsenal]

.22-250 Trailer with release date is dropping today

[@JuanHernandez-pq6nb]

I guess I have to a complete upper

[@pg981]

Are there mags available with more capacity ? Own two uppers and one complete rifle from BCA. Good value and function well.

Currently we only offer 10 round magazines. A 14 round magazine is available from Black Dog Machine

[@Atothe7420]

Would you guys ever introduce 10 or 12” uppers for 22wmr?

[@Bear_Creek_Arsenal]

We currently have a 10.5" .22 WMR upper

[@itsjustjoe3790]

I’ll buy the WMR upper when BCA makes a branded can for it.

[@joshuagroves199]

That's my only complaint about the WMR upper. It won't cycle subsonic ammo with a can on it.

Is this really Bear Creek Arsenal saying text this number

[@mountainairgunner2067]

If you think .22lr is only good for plinking you're missing out. There's Appleseed for training, NRL22 for long range competition, etc. etc. I have and shoot one of your 16" .22lr uppers and will buy shorter and longer uppers when they become available. And guess what? With decent ammo, my BCA .22lr upper will shoot sub MOA all day long to 75+ yds. Now lets see you make a 20" upper!

[@sticksnstonespatriot1728]

Agreed. I want a 20" 22lr. M16 clone.... 22lr was made for a rifle length barrel.

[@reidevans1623]

I really like my other bca stuff. I liked the fact that you advertise as great lower cost training tools… you need to be up front with buyers. That’s not all functions work as the big brothers… no last round bolt hold open to train reloads. Bcg closes as you pull the magazine out having to use the charge handle to reload the weapon. Vs dropping the bolt catch. I returned mine just cause of this reason.

[@joshuagroves199]

Are you for real? You sound like the kind of guy that has a sandwich in one hand, a $20 bill in the other and complain about being thirsty.

[@reidevans1623]

@@joshuagroves199 not at all. I bought other bca gear with the refund. I don’t think I’m the only one that could have thought this.

[@stephen_crumley]

@@reidevans1623 you’re not the only one thinking that way, one of the most critical things about training is the exact same function. Malfunction clearing /reloading is one of, if not the most important things to train. I mill my lowers for a PDQ bolt catch so I can lock the bolt open without breaking my firing grip. Oh and because I’m a poor and won’t pay the insane price tag for one of the only very limited truly ambi lowers.

[@quadfather504fpv9]

In my personal opinion if i was to be going up to the 22 magnum for whatever reason i rather just go to a 17hmr , granted i never had one of each side by side to shoot one then shoot the other rite after but i have shot them both at some point and i think i would still choose the 17hmr over the 22 magnum , and someone needs to come out with a 17hmr ar upper lol

[@invictusfarmer7188]

go hmr as long as you dont live in a windy area. wind plays hell with the .17. 22 mag only has it beat in wind and light brush. but .17 is worth every penny. bca needs a 17hmr rifle BAD. i used to call my savage 17 my laser gun lol. no recoil and varmint deadly ready lol

[@quadfather504fpv9]

@@invictusfarmer7188 exactly that's why i say id go 17 over 22 magnum and yes bca definitely needs a 17 hmr upper
