Anderson lower, cmmg lpk, BCA 16"SCgen2. That ones real nice actually. I also have another one 20" rear charging billet upper on lower setup same way. It also functions Flawless. No issues. I also have a Anderson AM15 RF85 and it's got tons of rounds and is my go to. It's all about what your looking for.

[@BuckFoeJiden]

The only parts that really matter on an AR15 are the barrel and the bolt. Most places mill out their own receivers, but the AR15 is a pretty universal spec. I have a BCA side charging upper and carrier with a Criterion barrel. I went with the headspaced bolt option originally, and I still have it soaked in oil in a small bottle, but right now I'm running a Sharps Rifle Co bolt in it with a Toolcraft bolt coated in molybdenum disulfide grease, in a plastic baggie stuffed up in the pistol grip. The headspaced bolt that came with the barrel is probably more accurate than either of the others with that particular barrel, but I wasn't enthused with the coating. That's not to say it was bad, because it wasn't... but the DLC coated SRC Reliabolt sheds carbon like nobody's business. 20" HBAR with a 13/16-16 outer threaded break. Odinworks adjustable block. The block isn't really necessary in a rifle length gas system, but it helps get it dialed in. Once I get a little scratch saved up, I'm going to form 1 a flat baffle suppressor with the steel blast shield that came with the muzzle as my mounting solution. It's going to be all stainless, and coated in Tungsten Disulfide. The coating probably won't last long, but it'll definitely help it shed carbon. It's currently sitting on a KP15 lower. It was originally sitting on a PSA lower with an H2 carbine buffer/carbine tube. The trigger is a milspec trigger that I polished myself with 2k grit sandpaper and a cloth/cotton buffing wheel and polishing compound. It's got around a 5 lb trigger pull, and it's as crisp as any aftermarket trigger I've owned. Super proud of my work there. Optics are a PA 4-4-14x44 in HUD DMR, with a tube mounted Holosun 407k x2. Optics and barrel were the bulk of my expenses. The upper was around $200, after tax and shipping. KP15 lower ran me around $180 after uncle Sam got his cut + 4473. The barrel and headspaced bolt were $450-ish, but that may be a high estimate. Scope was around $200 from Optics Planet, and the dot was around $250-300. I have no idea what mounts are on it right now. I *think* it's a SWFA mount, but it's long since been camouflaged, and my memory is trash. The handguard came from UTG. I was iffy about it at first, but I wanted the gun to look as poor as possible (BCA, PSA w/ UTG handguard) but still perform. I shimmed the barrel extension into the upper with stainless steel shimstock wrapped around the extension, and a little bit of moly grease to stick the shimstock to the extension. It's easily a sub MOA gun if I'm doing my part, and it's probably at 1k-1500 rounds currently, if I had to guess, with zero failures that weren't user induced for training or tuning. Build your own rifles, fellas. It's cheaper, and you get a better weapon IMO.

[@tbvv6729]

I think you should change your phrasing on these as inexpensive and not Poverty tier uppers. I can afford a $2500 AR but I rather keep the price on all my ARs to below $750. I rather have 4 ARs that cost $600 a piece rather than 1 fancy AR15 that cost 1K or 2.5K. Also save some money for ammo.

[@johnknope1664]

I agree. A basic ar shouldn't be more than $1000. BCA makes pretty good stuff. I've never had a problem.

[@zulusmith]

But they are Poverty Tier. Different phrasing is for the #woke and #metoo crowd. I'd rather have 1 quality handgun, shotgun and AR (each) than 3 or 4 Poverty Pewsticks in each platform. If you can afford a $2500 AR but refuse to buy it, are you sure it's not because you'd RATHER spend it on cars or vacations or watches or hookers??? You're not spending all of the difference on ammo, let's be honest. There are just other things you'd rather spend big $$$$ on.

I am a LEO in South Texas, l own a few SBR rifles and my primary patrol rifle is a PSA 10.5 nitride barrel on a DPMS registered lower with an Aimpoint PRO. I run it suppressed with an AAC 556 SD can the only thing l have done is put in a ALG trigger and a blue buffer spring for Sprinco with an H2 buffer, I have owned that rifle for about 6 years and shot over 5K rounds during training, l even used it to shoot a severely injured deer that was hit by a car, PSA can take a beating the accuracy is below 2 inches at a 100 yards with match ammo and for the price is a good investment. Good video man.

So, black upper. In front of black clothes. In a room with a black background. No bueno! At least get some better lighting. And some 3rd world countries, you can buy full auto and ammo, for less than those uppers. That being said, you can't really beat either one of those uppers for the price.

In my view they are technically just as good if your talking about ar style because technically only the lower is the gun, the bcg, barrel and trigger ect.. can be upgraded and for some people it's better to get a gun for 500 and upgrade it step by step to quality and they won't be defenseless while they try to save up 2500 + for a rifle

I don't care if it comes from Noveske or BCA, I'm going to hand check every square centimeter of a weapon before I put it next to my face and set off an explosive charge.

[@boomerisadog3899]

I've got a little over 2k rounds through a PSA 18" upper that I bought a few years ago. It's got the older clamp on 15" m-lok handguard with 3 screws on the bottom and anti-rotation tabs, I haven't had any issues with it sliding around. I bought a complete PSA lower at the same time and had the castle nut loosen itself up. That caused the one and only malfunction it's ever had but it's been good since I tightened it back up. PSA uses decent parts and they usually put their rifles together pretty well but I'd recommend checking everything over and maybe putting some threadlocker on it here and there. For the $469 I've got in it, I think it was a great deal. Even if it had cost a couple hundred more, I really wouldn't have anything to complain about but the poorly staked castle nut.

[@jcgardner5852]

Automatically say that the less expensive are lesser quality shows a prejudice that is not supported by facts. A $250 ar15 upper that is warranted to produce 1inch groups or less at 100 yards and is reliable is actually better than an $900 one that gives 3 inch groups.

[@badcompany3828]

A linear comp and a flash can does the same thing. They both push the gasses and muzzle blast forward.

Use Hot Lock instead of Loctite on parts that get hot like hand guards that attach to barrel nuts. Works great on gas blocks as well.

[@ep6606]

I’m not trying to crap on your video but you should have stripped the uppers down the way they came from the manufacturer and show the people what you actually get instead of all the stuff you added on. With that said, I’ve owned a couple PSA riffles, shot 400-600 rounds through them and no issues.

[@edgarnewberry-cw4ld]

As long as the parts are milspec and not defective the difference between high tier and low tier comes down to assembly. If you start with a good barrel and torque it properly onto a forged reciever, deburr and polish contact surfaces you will see very little difference between low end and high end (triggers withstanding). The difference will then come down to the shooter. Spending more money on a gun does not make you a better shot.

Best budget optic you can buy is the SWFA Super Sniper. Fixed magnification in 6, 10, 12 and higher magnification. 30mm tube, super clear glass and the most accurate turrets in any scope in its price range. Fixed 6x44 SS with a canted dot would be the ideal budget setup, and at $300, it's a very affordable scope for what you're getting. My only dig at the scopes is how tall the turrets are.

[@papajon6715]

There are ONLY two things that matter in any company's upper receiver and those are 1. Does it function reliably, and 2. Does it offer acceptable accuracy? Grading a rifle upper on your personal preference on flash hider or linear compensator is foolish. Grading a rifle upper on a generic vs brand name flashlight, and that flashlight's mount is foolish. Grading a rifle upper on ease to install a large suppressor is foolish because that tab may be bent or cut off easily. Grading a rifle upper on ease to install a large suppressor is foolish because no one living on poverty row can afford the suppressor tax stamp much less the suppressor itself Grading a rifle upper downward because you failed to check all screws for tightness is foolish because that nis common sense on almost every purchase of any kind. Grading a rifle upper downward because you shot it repeatedly with loose screws that stripped is foolish because it because common sense says to tighten them beforehand and BLUE lock-tite is your friend. Grading a rifle upper downward because you failed to check, to tighten, or to use BLUE lock-tite, and simply replace stripped machine screws is foolish. Replacing an expensive handguard because you failed to check, or to tighten, or to use BLUE lock-tite, or RED lock-tite after damaging the threads in your barrel is foolish. Grading a rifle upper on your personal preference on aftermarket optics is foolish.

So your right to say the QC is less consistent on a less expensive AR but that's a given at the price level. As a side note you really should stop using the term poverty tear, it makes you seem like you're better than people who can only afford them.

[@HotMicSystems]

Own 2 of each and love them equally, psa has really stepped up in QC over the years, BCA gets a bad wrap from the gun community but ots fine, just needs some love upon a arrival and its good to go

[@roscoeennis4230]

Does the Bear Creek upper have picatinny rails on the bottom or mlok ? Ordered this upper and want an angled foregrip but can't tell on my phone because gun and your shirt are black haha. Can look when I get home but want to order now so wife don't see me ordering MORE gun stuff.

[@thepoorsareintoguns]

Mlok!

[@roscoeennis4230]

@@thepoorsareintoguns Thank you.

[@nickloven6728]

I like the way psa rails look compared to the bca even though the bca is technically better.

[@Chiefskingdom58]

Your surefire light, Mount, cable, and pressure pad is more than the complete upper.

[@sleigh4019]

Bca has changed there rails like a month or 2 ago cause they had been getting crap about no room for cans

[@peterfecteau2524]

This guy should be flipping burgers somewhere. He's not funny at all.

[@thepoorsareintoguns]

Agreed

[@Axe-m-All]

Oh you really did just talk about the add-ons

[@thepoorsareintoguns]

Yeah that's my bad as a reviewer. Definitely have plans to improve that in the future

[@adamadams6740]

I think for 90 percent of shooters PSA or BCA are more than good enough I have a couple of both and like them never had problems if you do they have a warranty.if you shoot enough to ware one out barrels and BCG are cheep.

[@Steelcity77]

I'm not poor just smart I can buy 2 rifles for the cost of 1 gucci name brand and my "poverty" builds have thousands of rounds through them and they're flawless. The poverty comments are not funny either.

[@garyhill9516]

I don't think the average Joe can afford to wear either upper out.

[@johnrain6674]

So these people that you say can't afford anything to your standards can afford a upper with the furniture that's on them costing at least 600 dollars with a lower from either company around 159 that's 7 and change not counting mags sling and ammo I would rather be poor seen 2000 dollar rifles shit the bed

[@johnboltz3591]

If the whole point of the video is to compare the upper receivers, maybe don't spend half of the video talking about the lights and other things that have been added to it

[@metasolo1222]

The BCA 7.5” 300 BO kicks like a purring kitten with supersonics…and sexy as hell (don’t forget the LAW).

[@captnchaos4757]

Shout out to all my fellow broke a$$e$!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸😜🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@navalsealsnipersports1199]

Man is talking about not being able to afford better uppers but can’t afford better lighting or a real mic

[@alandassanders7217]

FYI I’m not poor I like saving money

[@the_monkeypox_commander6603]

Anyone else being forced to BCA because PSA seems to have an INABILITY to keep shit in stock. BCA in my opinion also has terrible looking handguards and if your swapping that then the price point changes

[@jmbzrx1200]

Brrrrrr goes the dremmel…..

[@gunner4373]

My PSA 10.5 has been through hell and has been 100% reliable and 1 moa accurate.

[@benjaminreppond3114]

I LOVE!!! Psa. Lol but they’re certainly not 1 moa. Maybe 3

[@johnnylang2271]

Good to know I'm on the poverty tier.....

[@mauricehardy5012]

Some people shouldn’t speak lol I know a lot of people who have money rather spend 600 than 4000 on. Rifle they don’t use everyday

[@kenchan3038]

or you could just build your own from the best quality that you can afford on sale, and do much better. These are good starter guns though....

[@thepoorsareintoguns]

Completely agree

[@benfrank1583]

Many need to get one asap with their said budget and then they can upgrade the parts that actually matter over time. I have a PSA upper I had my gunsmith bring back to his house and take his sweet ass time rebuilding it. Smoothest action upper I have

[@thepoorsareintoguns]

@@benfrank1583 I think that's a great attitude to have I'd rather people buy a PSA now and upgrade later on then be defenseless for that period of time

[@PPD1911]

Stay on track, remember the subject?

[@corekin6386]

If we're buying PSA or BCA we ain't got money for a suppressor 😅

[@kevindutton3676]

Just built a white trash honey badger😂and I ran 3k to 3500 through my 10.5” PSA before I had an issue. It was the buffer spring. Cheap fix

10.5/11.5 classics hands down especially for heat 🔥on mags , paint your irons |_•_|, get the longest kak huge difference🤣,tape/zip a light, 550cord sling mounts,600lbs1/4in utility rope 1 point and your good out to 350s from the drivers seat of a vehicle 🤷🏽‍♂️keep soft points in all 12.5-7.5s for SD but color coordinate for heavy targets etc

[@jamesdean257]

Elaborate

[@dellontobin282]

We need to buy as many guns before Uncle Sam tries to take our rights away. God bless companies like PSA, they support the working man.

[@connor4637]

You could have Gucci guns but it you have poverty tactics, your Gucci gun means shit…. Everyone would be fine with a PSA build

[@sweetsilence4682]

New sub!!

[@jmac3693]

It's called loctite

[@fishlanding]

so far my Bearcreek upper is perfect.... proud of myself for building my own weapon..... now we need to vote Joe BiteMe out and get America going again... can you dig it ?

[@FingerJam12]

You should take this video down seriously. I have a psa and beat the shit out of it never one issue. More expensive doesn't mean better quality. Sure it might have a little better some things but not 3x as much money better. Every person I know who has psa loves them. I am able to buy what I want and I still choose psa. Calling people poor for buying them is really stupid and not sure who would take you seriously talking like that.

[@user-ps7ou9so2h]

I think this did not help your channel to use the word poverty ,price point does not dictate quality if you know what you have & what you are doing is what matters ?? make a new video ,an talk about what quality you get for your money an people will be more appt to res pos

[@thepoorsareintoguns]

Yeah I agree that this is not my best video and I should have explained things better

[@americanpatriotbill]

So, sounds like a rich kid who is special..

[@thepoorsareintoguns]

Yep

[@HandsomeUnc]

"Budget tier " "really crappy" "you are broke" .... black table..black clothes.. black background.. when you get a GF have her proof watch your vids before uploading. This would definitely turn someone away from the 2A community to depression.. lolol... not helpful at all. An entire video just to say, if yu spend a little more yu get better quality. We already know that. The 1st minute and a half is cringe worthy

[@paulmiller-xi7rd]

get rid of black background. thanks
