Top Critical Review

“Firing pin failure”

Ben P.
6/25/24

350 legend, After two years and around 200 rounds I started having mis fires, light indents on primers, took it apart and the firing pin is a soft metal, the striker end is flattened and the rear flange that contacts the bolt is worn and has a ring indent in it, never saw this in 25 years carrying M16s, M16A3s and the M4s, and they got a hell of a lot of use with no wear signs like this pin! Junk steel,,,

Great products for an amazingly affordable price! I bought a 16" upper for my AR-15 5.56 build. The feel, look and quality of this upper is awesome! Can't wait to buy more from BCA!

Have had this upper for about a year now and it has run flawlessly and is very accurate considering the round in use. Highly recommend Bear Creek products!

I just received my my first BCA firearm in 9mm with a10.5" upper left side charging right side ejection and complete lower. It was like Christmas in April. I couldn't wait threw some flip up sights on and 5min later had a 5 shot group at 50 yards in an 1 1/2 group. Using Magtech 115 gr rounds. I'm impressed! Bring a reloader I can't wait to see what kind of group I can dial in. This won't be my last purchase. Thank you BCA team the process from beginning to end was quick and smooth, keep up the great craftsmanship!

Edit: They report they were able to help as an exception, I am happily surprised. Once the refund comes through I'll delete the following.

Their website's cart system on mobile browsers, at least on Brave, is glitched. I ended up with an order lackimg the Item that what literally just added to my cart, but instead with a part I looked at yesterday. Something about its session-handeling is broken.

Worse yet, they are listed as open today; but after 4 hours of calling every 30 minutes, no answer. No Call back to my 2 voicemails. No reponse to my emails.

Basically if you get charged for something erroneously on their website, you're screwed.

In September 2022 I bought a 300 black out upper, came in 2 days. However the great hands at FedEx damaged the product. All was good, BCA sent a return label so I sent it back to them for replacement. They received my upper on 10-5-22 according to the tracking number. So tell me how I can get a new upper in 2 days from ordering but I can not get a replacement item from them and as of today it is 11-2-22. Worst customer service I've ever dealt with in my life. When contacting you kinda get a reply through their web site messaging looks automated, however try and call them. There will be no answer and they sure the heck don't call you back after leaving messages. Bear Creek Arsenal you have failed miserably, your customer service is sub par at best! I'm going to tell everyone I know starting here! I really hope your product is actually good when I one day get to lay hands on it. Bear Creek Arsenal please send me my product! I've paid for it! Read the other reviews people, I didn't believe them because there were so many good ones, man I wish I would have known and taken my money elsewhere!
Sincerely, very unhappy customer

I bought the parkerized 20" heavy barrel in 223 complete upper. I added a bi-pod, rings and scope. So far I love it. Great grouping and stout feel. It was at my door in 3 days. I love it so much I bought a 10" stainless 223wylde too. Arrives tomorrow, 3 days. I m sure it won't be the last purchase.

I love the fact I can put on my Bear creek upper on my existing lower to go hunting without having to buy a whole new rifle. It was reassuring to see the upper was tested before being shipped to my house. Shot a small 8pt opening day. DIDNT GO 20!

After owning my.308 AR10 from BCA for the past hunting season, My 2 boys wanted thier own hunting rifles for themselves. The 5.56 for my oldest and 300 BLK for my 15 YO. I took them out this past weekend to zero the scopes and it took just roughly 3 shots to get within 1.5 MOA at 100 yards.
I use a bore laser at home to zero 76 yards from my apartment to the clubhouse, then the range for final zero. Both shot incredibly well. Shot 100 rounds of 5.56 and 50 rounds of 300BLK. Need more ammo for the 300BLK.

I have purchased 2 uppers (. 223 Wylde and 6.5 Grendel) one is 18 inch and the other 20 inch. Both are quality and accurate. Function has been flawless and the outer finish has been great. I just purchased one of their Brande scopes and will take it to the range soon. My son purchased 2 uppers also and has been pleased so far. I recommend them for the budget minded builder and shooter.

I ordered a complete AR15 upper in 7.63x39 over the July 4th holiday. I received it on July 8. It was packaged really well and had no damage. I attached this to an Anderson complete lower receiver and broke in the gun as per instructions on their website. I have put about 300 rounds of Tula and Barnaul ammo through the rifle using ASC mags. I have had no failure to feed, no misfires and no failure to extract. After breaking in the barrel, I zeroed a 4-10x40 scope at 25 yards. At 100 yards I still have 1 MOA. This is a great, accurate and reliable firearm. I liked it so much, I ordered another upper in 223 Wylde - side charging. It performs as well as the first upper, with no malfunctions. A+++

Tip for consumers:
Break in barrels (complete gun, upper receiver or barrel) as per instructions. This will help with accuracy as well as upper funtion.

Just received my new BCA upper. As i was unboxing it i noticed a scratch on the mlok rail. Packaging was good no damage so it was shipped out of their warehouse in this condition. After contacting them i received a very prompt response that i could return the whole upper that i have been waiting for and they would repair or replace it at their discretion. First i didn't purchase a blemish or defective item, i paid full price and expect a new rail not repaired. Second it would be much easier to send me a new rail and let me send the defective back rather than me being out my upper even longer. I read the reviews of situations such as this but took a chance on the value. Several reviews caution aginst sending items back due to lost items, delay and items being of stock, so you get something back you didnt order and not in your favor. Assembly failed, quality control failed, shipping quality failed and customer service failed. Pay a little more and better service.

I am sorry for the damaged item, we can definitely send a rail for you to install yourself but most customers do not want to install any pieces. If you'd like to send your damaged rail back for a new rail please just let our customer service team know. Typically in this situation we replace the rail on the upper and return the item asap. Please reach out if you'd like to take advantage of this warranty and I am sorry it arrived to you damaged.
