Very nice brother! Haven't ever had an issue with BCA. Terrific choice. Look forward to seeing what you have in store. 🤠👍

[@EagleRun23]

@@RonWayneOfficial they are generally solid.

[@Michigan4Conservative]

Great to see BCA factory upper is 8.6 blackout.👍 This is much easier than what we had to do in the beginning of this cartridge release.

MCMCMCMC we have come a long ways!

I’m ready for the Q Boombox to be released to the public. 8.6 blackout is the boss.

[@EagleRun23]

that will be great! if you see my SLR build, its kinda like that, but it will be 3500$ I imagine. I am also going to show off some mid frame designs in the near future, like the SFAR ruger in 8.6, we are almost ready to announce!

[@miketrainowski8559]

Finished my 8.6 build three weeks ago and it might be my new favorite rifle. The can I ordered is in paperwork jail, so I’m sure I’m only going to like it more when it comes in. But it was easily my most expensive build to date. Not including the optic o spent around $2k just in parts. Aero stripped upper and lower, Faxon 12” barrel, SLR handguard, Radian BCG and charging handle, Madison 3lb single stage trigger, Geissele H2 with their tube and braided spring, Magpul grip with a SOPMOD, and a Cherry Bomb on the end. I tried something new this time for glass, went with an Arken Optixs 1x8-24 LPVO and am loving it. I’d even go so dark as to say I like it better than the Strike Eagles I have. I just can’t wait for my Porq Chop to come in.

@@miketrainowski8559 that sounds really nice!! What ammo do you like or are you reloading?

[@miketrainowski8559]

@@EagleRun23 Oh no, I haven’t gone down the “reloading your own ammo” rabbit hole yet. For loadout carries I have some of Gorilla’s 342 grain rounds and some of Aiken’s 300 grain “Maker Rex” ammo, but for the most part I have run Fort Scott’s 285 grain ammo. It’s the closest thing I’ve found to “ball ammo” for the 8.6, and it’s also the most readily available. But so far all I’ve done is take it to the range, sight in the optic, tune it, etc.

Want one in A Savage bolt Axis. That would be the bomb!🎉

Rossi is making an 8.6 break-over

[@jonnnydshow]

Personally would like to see minimum of 5-10 round groups personally. I know it’s an expensive round but it starts to really show the real grouping of the rifle.

[@EagleRun23]

@@jonnnydshow I shot 100-10 rounds. Feel like I got a pretty good feel for it. More subs next time.

[@jonnnydshow]

@@EagleRun23 but honestly ammo will make a difference especially with 8.6 with the standard deviation

[@skrappygaming1513]

I bought a Bear Creek 300blk upper a couple years ago and it was not a good experience. There were some large sharp chunks of metal stuck in the gas port and the gas tube was bent in such a way that made it smack and have heavy friction with the gas key. When I noticed it Initially I kind of figured 'get what you pay for' and shrugged it off since I had already planned on replacing the barrel, but then I realized how out of spec the bolt and extractor were; it could not go into battery or extract a round. I cant remember perfectly but I want to say there were also problems with the gas rings and firing pin. I had to replace the gas tube, barrel, and whole bolt carrier group. I think it was like 250 or so when I got it and in the end the only usable part was the barrel nut, hand guard, charging handle, and upper receiver. Considering the cost of all the other parts I bought, I should have just gotten a sugar weasel, I only saved 100 or so and I'm still using the trigger from a cheap lower parts kit, lol. BCA customer service never replied to me, all I could do was leave a negative review on their website. It was a couple years ago, so maybe things have changed over there, but I'm not willing to trust them with my hard earned money. I've learned to just spend a little more money for the right tool the first time. I'm also of the opinion that if someone can afford to shoot 8.6blk in a semi auto platform then they probably don't need a budget bin upper. I love subs through my 8.6blk bolt action, but my pockets aren't deep enough to shoot this caliber semi auto.

i am just trying to be an ambassador to the caliber, so I am trying EVERYTHING. My q fix just got here, video in a few days!

[@bastianc.717]

You aren’t the first, you wont be the last. They are known for being bad, and cheap… ik people that have theirs blow up, and know other people that have had components break after 2 shots.

[@Superb_Legend]

They definitely hit and miss, but definitely not little extra, sugar weasel $1700+ compared to $500 max.

@@EagleRun23 i work at a gun store with a gun range, and our range guys, and our other Gun counter guys have seen BCA guns blow up, receivers and barrels split and crack, some brand new after they picked them up after a transfer and are running decent ammo, I personally had a customer come in looking for AR 10 parts because his BCA broke after firing 3 shots. I think he was looking for a gas block, BCG parts and i think some pins and a new hammer.

[@bastianc.717]

@@EagleRun23 they also have a huge list of complaints of faulty firearm issues, and bad customer service on the better business bureau. Myself after what i have researched would not buy one of their products, its too hit or miss, some people love them but they seem to be the few. I would rather put my money somewhere else, they do make alot of cool calibers for a good price, but i think ill have to start building my own
