Bear Creek Side Charger a long term torture test (part 2)!!!!!

[@norcalbowhunter3264]

I think people miss the point of these guns. Are they top of the line rifles? No. But they’re a rifle and they’ll get you out on the range and shooting and over the years you can save up to get a better BCG, barrel, or what ever else you wish to get. This video I think shows how durable these guns are. If you can get past the fact they’re not a Gucci gun, they are great range guns you can upgrade over time. As someone once said “I’d be more fearful of the guy with the cheap gun who knows how to shoot it, than the guy with an expensive gun who doesn’t know how to shoot it because he couldn’t afford the ammo to train with it.”

[@independencearmschannel2170]

Thank you! Very well said 👏🏻

[@ChristopherLambert-m7q]

Even something like these BCA rifles would be perfectly suitable to use for home defense. Middle of the night heading outside with a flash light and a rifle to investigate a strange noise etc. if you were heading off to war somewhere you would want to go with a higher tier rifle naturally but even these lower price rifle they are still made out of quality materials its usually more an issue of the build itself. All firearms are machines just like your vehicle, you can keep it running forever if you want, just depends how much you want to spend on refurb and replacing worn parts. I had a convo with a guy I work with he's new to guns and he was all caught up on "service life" a rifle doesnt get to a certain point and then its like "well it's done, toss It In the trash" lol

[@PineyJustice]

@@independencearmschannel2170 Funny enough, the side charging uppers are fantastic for long range precision builds, just swap the bolt and the barrel.

[@StyxxxxRiver]

Listen.... I dont know if youre a vet or not, but I am. Our rifles in the US are some of the worst quality shit tier pos ive ever shot in my life, my PSA, Bushmaster, and CMMG all outshoot my old colt service weapon, theyre horrible from M16-M4. Even after hours of cleaning between my and my whole company, you can just hear peoples weapons jam and malfunctions check from shooting 3 magazines worth of ammo. But all my other rifles, even my overly gassed 300 blackout hasnt had a malfunction over 5k rounds later​@ChristopherLambert-m7q

Thanks for this video! I have a 300 blackout side charger from BCA and this just encouraged me to fully complete my build

[@gregskipa]

LOVE my dual-charging upper from BCA. I went with that because I've scoped mine, and reaching under the scope for the charging handle is a pain. BCA side chargers have a plug where the rear charger should go, but adding the rear charger here instead of the plug just gives you a second option. And if you use the side charger, the rear charger just hangs out there ready if you need it (like, if the side charger breaks).

[@franciscomartinez3129]

Yeah, I did notice that plug, didn't think I could add a charging handle.

[@gregskipa]

@@franciscomartinez3129 If you have the plug, I don't think a handle will go there. I think it's milled differently. I do not have a side-charge only receiver, so I could be wrong.

[@robertkeller9828]

I just did the same thing...PSA stealth lower...Same BCA upper. Pinned together perfectly...Thinking of buying the 223 dual charging upper BUT really,REALLY want to try their 7.62x39mm...Why?. You can't buy a reliable AK for under 800...AND, why have an AK if it's not reliable?. I know, I KNOW....All the stories about BCGs having to have material removed to even chamber 7.62x39mm...BUT for 217 to 260 bux, reports are it works reliably. Even if it only lasts 3-4k rounds, cheap enough to buy 3 for the price of a cheap, questionable AK... Gotta' be more accurate than an AK shooting anyway.

[@JettBlast]

@robertkeller9828 Agreed, I had a SKS years go sold it to get my 1st AR15 wish I had kept it. I would not feel bad about shooting cheap steel case ammunition through a $100.00 rifle...

Once you start building guns, you realize pretty much they're all built the same, as price goes up - precision goes up and sometimes materials. Having an AR built right is what it's all about. Pay attention to your Gas Tube and Buffer system if you're not cycling right. Are you really throwing your shit around anyways?

I ask for viewer feedback, I had two viewers ask for a test like this 1. A side charger test and 2. To burry it so I did. Honestly you would be surprised how much damage this can do.

Oil it shoot it and it will be smooth on either I would recommend If you get an AK get one of the large bolt handles they make a world of difference

[@philliplehl5578]

@@independencearmschannel2170 will do. Appreciate that

[@NormanPOlt]

Their 2nd generation side-charging uppers are even better (especially the bolt's charging handle design)...!

[@deerchaser33]

Thank you for doing this test. People are always down talking BCA for cheap parts. Seems to me they hold their own.

[@independencearmschannel2170]

Seems to be the case for sure

[@antoniomontoya3967]

Which 7.63x39 upper would you guys thing is the best one they have on the sight right now? I won’t use it much but would like to get the best they have. I will just be doing an upper

[@independencearmschannel2170]

They have a complete 10.5" upper right now for $190 and a 16" cold hammer forged side charger for $210

[@Dave-ck8cf]

Great video! You are just got my subs. I’m a fan BCA

[@independencearmschannel2170]

Thank you!

[@brudamiranda3314]

I got 2 BCA uppers. 7.62x39 that I just clapped out with new hand guard and upper receiver. It's sweet . And a 308 that I added griffin ar10 buffer spring and kaw valley 5.6 shorty it's freaking beast. Bear 47 gets 1.5 in groups with brass and 308 is 3in baby

[@independencearmschannel2170]

Nice! 👍🏻

[@WN_Byers]

Youre significantly misusing clapped out 🤣

[@independencearmschannel2170]

🤣

[@SansooIan]

Alright.. im pretty sure this qualifies as a pretty solid upper. Just needs some agua once in awhile

[@stevemilcoffmilcoff4655]

Good vidio rough test

[@michaelkrutz5737]

Dam, I'll never put my BCA's through that much..lol. coincidentally i now know why i bought a dual charger.

[@Miguelitometra]

Bro that was a torture for real just subscribed and like it was great video

[@independencearmschannel2170]

Haha thank you Don't forget to check out the PSA one as well and thanks for the sub!

Slightly used bear ,state ar 15. upper bear creek, lower palmetto state . Distressed for decoration 699.

[@randyhelton3310]

I can't get on board with side chargers it defeats the porpoise of a closed system on a AR but it shocked me how good it did

[@ceez33167]

i subscribed after the bow lol. great vid

[@independencearmschannel2170]

Thank you!

[@irritatingtruth9121]

That was amazing! Love the AR

[@independencearmschannel2170]

Thank you!

[@traxxasrcfun]

I would love to see a DD or a bcm test. See if they are actually worth the money

[@independencearmschannel2170]

We plan on doing it 🤘🏻

@@independencearmschannel2170 cant wait to see just how much cringing people are going to do against a 1500-3000 USD rifle lol

[@MrEricdgreat]

I was just going to comment that.👍🏽

[@amn1308]

So is this covered by the warranty?

[@independencearmschannel2170]

They sent me a new charging handle but I would assume not 😂

[@bluesbondsman]

Hey I just happen to have two original BCA handguards for a 16" barrel if you need one.

[@independencearmschannel2170]

Oh thanks man I appreciate it! We're actually going a different direction I think it's going to be wild
