@davidsirmons3 ай бұрын
Steel cases shrink way slower on being fired than brass, and if the barrel/gas block/length timing is shorter than a 13.7" there's a far greater chance the bolt will be blasted backwards while the steel case is still fully expanded inside the chamber, meaning it will likely destroy your bolt or extractor, a common occurrence with steel case AR ammo. I advise against ever using that mess.

My family all moved to side chargers from BCA for our hog hunting setups. Side charger is a must for racking and chambering a round when you have a huge night vision scope at the rear of the upper. Once you use one you’ll be hook and will never look back! ❤

@BearCreek Arsenal why not do a left side charge, with right eject, as a standard??? so as to not have to do that cross under, or over the top charging as the AK does???

My only complaint with my BCA side charging 300bk is that the lever has to be unscrewed in order to remove the bolt for cleaning or maintenance. That becomes a problem when you in the field with limited tools.

BCA, here are some marketing 101 tips. If you are showcasing features of a gun, freaking show the features in action - don't leave it up to the consumer to imagine the benefit. i.e: Put a larger optic on the gun when showcasing it's easy to operate the bolt with a large optic Actually put a damn suppressor on the gun and shoot 300 blackout with it to show gas redirection I'm rooting for you guys, trust me - but I can't when you do this below par marketing production

For $211 why don't you just try one. I spend more money than that on diet cokes in a month. I've got a .224 Valkyrie side charge and a 300 BLK rear charge and I love both of them. I shoot a lot! They both are shooters, also. I consistently hit with the Valkyrie at 1100 yards. It out-shoots a 6 ARC I have by another manufacturer. The 300 BLK will hit at 700 yards with ease. They are great shooting guns and I have had no issues, whatsoever.
@socom2173Ай бұрын
I purchased one of their uppers in 7.62x39 and had the extractor break. I reached out and it was a hassle to get them to send me a single extractor. Not to mention I had to polish the hell out of the feed ramps and remove the rubber doughnut from the extractor, just to get a round to chamber. BCA can be "good" but when it's bad, it's BAD! Good luck!

@@davidsirmons It might be my inexperience with side charging AR's. I learned to shoot a right handed m4, and it had that little deflector that worked 50% of the time, otherwise I got brass to the forehead constantly. Then we switched to the Tavor and of course that is ambi so I immediately moved it to lefty config. If it ejects at 90 degrees, then I am fine, but I prefer not to get pegged in the forehead if I can avoid it.

The problem with the way BCA did their side charger is they screwed it into the side of a AR 15 bolt when they should have free floated it into the bolt like with what the koreans did with the daewoo k1 and k2 rifle. Im telling you now any company that makes a American version of the K1 rifle is going to knock it out of the ball park.

Great point! I dislike having to use a hex key to remove the side charge handle to access the BCG. I am new to the AR platform and more so to anything foreign.
