Bear Creek Arsenal

I was pretty happy with my upper at first. It groups good with 115 gr, 150 gr, and 220 grain rounds well. However I noticed a sound when the bolt goes home. It turns out one of my feed lips is chiped.
The barrel has about 200 rds, but I felt it should've lasted longer, as a heavy barrel.

After spending well over 1000 in the last year, every single time I open a package from them it's always an issue. Wrong parts, entirely wrong items, or mismatched parts. And I don't have the time or enough hours in the day as a FULL TIME healthcare worker that works a minimum of 12 hours a day on the night shift to constantly have to return items to them, their mistakes are my inconvenience and I'm tired of it. So now I have a bunch of useless parts because they want to send me the wrong bolt, then play the waiting game of shipping parts back and forth just to be able to finish building an Easter gift that I should have had finished before he holiday. Being a veteran owned company means nothing when you're spending hard earned dollars on constant let downs

I've bought 3 uppers from BCA and all 3 are good quality uppers. My 350 legend is a tack driver at 100yards. Quality of the parts are way better than expected for this price point. And so far with 100 or more rounds through my 350 legend, there have been no failures. 10/10 recommend BCA!

I ordered a gun part from bear creek arsenal and Fed Ex told me that it wouldn't be delivered because the part was missing from the box. I can't get any customer service. They don't answer and won't call back. I will not order anything from BCA again!0

Received my upper quickly and was able to track its trip from their place to mine. The upper appears very nice and seems to function as it should. It feels solid and I am excited to get out to give it workout. Quality seems to be very good and well built. Will definitely be looking at others down the road. Already have three other uppers and a BCA 10 lower which are great and very dependable.

Mounted on an Anderson multi-cal lower. I have only put about 110 rounds through it, but it functioned fairly well. I had one steel case failure to eject, none with brass cases. It has the BCA enhanced firing pin and there were no failures to fire the steel cases. I plan to run brass only in the future. I also plan to change out the universal carbine buffer to an H2 buffer in the lower receiver to reduce wear and tear on the BCG.

I purchased a 6.5 Grendel Upper, with side charging handle and also ordered an AR 15 Lower for my 300 Blackout. I'm absolutely amazed at the shooting accuracy of the grendel. And my 300 Blackout is much happier at the range than in the back of the safe. I have my eye on another upper. Probably in the next couple weeks. Thanks Bear Creek Arsenal for your professionalism and attention to detail. Top Shelf all the way.

Very poor experience! Shipped me the wrong part, and taking forever to ship replacement. Lied to me. Slow to respond via email and refused to have a customer service manager call me. Products seem to be well made- review is based on customer service (Or lack thereof).

I took this to the shooting range and it shot fairly smoothly. However, I clean my guns after shooting them and upon examination of the bolt, the bolt carrier key is cracked and damaged beside the Allen heads. Will be contacting customer service to get a replacement.

I purchased a upper in December of 2022, couldn't get it to eject without double feeding, or stovepiping. Smashing the next cartridge to load. Sent it back, received a ditto of the first POS I had purchased. I'm on my third one sent back been two weeks. I have heard nothing. Don't buy anything from this business. Very poor product, not reliable.I personally would like a refund. Too purchase better quality product somewhere else.This is only two, can show more!

Own a BCA 350 LEGEND stainless upper. Flawless! Matched my lower with no issues. Accurate with multiple types of ammunition. Taken whitetails with minimal to no tracking required! Affordable to shoot and small shooter friendly.

I fell in love with the.17HMR a couple of years ago when I won a Henry rifle. Every since then I have looked for an AR in this caliber. My son found one at BCA, I immediately bought it. I received it very promptly, put it on an existing lower and WOW! By far the sweetest AR I own. Excellent small game rifle, coyotes hate it. I am currently saving for my second one.

We have purchased from BCA three times now and I have no complaints. All firearms have ran just fine. The only issue I have had was an extractor break on my 6.5 grendel and they had me a replacement in my hands within a few days thanks again guys.

This company helped me out with a defective product that I received. They immediately sent another one over while I shipped the defective one back. I didn't need to argue or anything, after I explained the defect they put an RMA right through. I have since purchased other products with no issue.

I elected to write this after seeing that the few reviews left for Bear Creek Arsenal are mostly negative. I made my first purchase from bear creek arsenal in the summer of 2021. The process was seamless, shipping was fast, and the product was good. The product was good when compared to competitors' products costing twice as much. When considering the price, the product was awesome. I purchased a complete upper and it looks flawless and shoots the same. You cannot expect their products to be equal to barrels and uppers costing 5 times as much, but you have to remember that you can abuse five BCA uppers for the price of one high end upper. I will do business with BCA again. I plan on purchasing another complete upper from them within the next month.

I ordered this as part of a package deal as a birthday present.
I currently repair M4 simulators for the Army, and the quality off this blows MIL-SPEC away!
Neat, clean, no loose parts, ready to go.
Also, much cheaper than any of the competitors.

Definitely a go-to lower for an AR_15 platform build.

I have recently built two AR pistols chambered in 7.62 X 39 using Bear Creek uppers and they both shoot phenomenally. Great quality and a great price point! I would encourage new customers to purchase Bear Creek products.

Been trying to get a return shipping label. The PDF only opens to their logo. Have tried for a week to make contact.? Not even a call. Just sent to another place, no help! Have always been great in the past. I have even bought and received a standard barrel during trying to get the magnum refunded.

I purchases a seven inch pistol upper and im having nothing but problems. It won't eject the empty cases. Im not a gun smith and I can only conclude whats wrong. From what I've researched but when buying a product it should be in good condition. Not malfunctioning out of. The box. I need this weapon in good shape because its used for security work and in case of an incident a malfunction could mean life or death for my self or my clients. Hopefully bear creek will resolve fhis. Now I have to pay for return shipping and who knows how long its gonna take to get it back..

My first several upper purchases was the Gen l. Handles worn through the boxes during shipping, reached out to them and they sent me replacements. But after running them the handles are loose. Then the Gen ll replacement program offered@ $99 ea. I bought two. Barrels were extremely over torqued. Standard M4 rear CH uppers ran fine. But l learned to check all hardware... loose gas blocks, cap screws (they will rust) on the hand guards and occasionally castle nut. My last purchase was the. 22 16" upper. Scratched receiver out of the box, FAILD to feed, fire and eject. Sent it back for refund. Upper was going to be a present for a young shooter. 10+ uppers l purchased. The. 22 was the deal breaker for me.

Not impressed got a left handed side charging 7.62 by 39 upper and after 200 rounds my extractor broke like cheap pot metal leaving an empty casing stuck in the berral that I can't get out now hopfully I can get a new Part can't get my money back and don't want a store credit you get what to you pay for and I learned that lesson budget gun with budget parts performing poorly who would have thought never again

BCR backs their products and has Great customer service and support!
My 5.56 gen 2 side charging upper and an 8 1/2 in 1.7 twist barrel keeps tight groups and I couldn't be Happier with my first build.
Highly Recommend!

Customer service is a misnomer. It should be non-customer service because you absolutely cannot talk to anybody on the phone and if you do have a problem impossible to resolve I don't want a guy by the last name of oriole 15 emails yeah I'm creating a label for your missing parts never happened. No spring or buffer plunger in the gun whatsoever and they won't fix it. Best part is I'm a dealer they don't realize how many of their guns I transfer well no more I will refuse their shipments.

I will give them two stars for their warranty and website, however,
Their customer service sucks.

They do not list the length of their rifles in their specs. I had to email them four
Times before I received a half helpful reply to my questions. Under their "contact us"
Is a telephone icon but when you click it, the user gets nothing. In other words, they do
Not wish to hear from you, despite the fact that their rifles sell for close to a grand.

And when I check the local BBB, they had a very sad rating of 1.82, with over 50
Complaints.

If you are looking for a field rifle, go to a supplier whom cares about their customers
Because Bear S++t Arsenal does not.
