Huge fan of BCA!
February 2, 2024

I am a new customer and already possess 3 uppers and a couple optics and several magazines, all of which have performed flawlessly.
There are many more products that I will own before long.
I especially love the side charging uppers.
Rear charging is the only thing I don't like on the AR platform.

Loving the nitride finished full upper. Fits my lower like it was made for it. Takes all the M Lok accessories I want to mount. Took it out to the range and it shoots great, totally reliable. Highly recommend BCA, I'll be purchasing more from them.

My son and I bought 4 uppers with in a 6 month span.
Now with ups and FedEx refusing to deliver to non ffl people, we are stuck with a product that has a useless warranty and we are out over 1k in money.
If I knew this was going to happen I would have bought local like I did for the rest of my builds, this is what we get for trying to save a buck.
Needless to say we will not be doing business with BCA ever again.
On top of everything else neither one of us has put a single round thru the uppers we bought.
I will try to sell them and buy from my local FFL.

On 11/15/23 my FFL ordered me a rifle from BCA. After approximately two weeks without receiving the rifle, they made multiple attempts to telephonically contact their customer service. They will not answer their phones. It is now 12/19/23 still no rifle. If there was miss hap a completed phone call would have resolved the issue. Now I am forced to go to another company.

Return shipping label
November 27, 2023

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 purchased complete 9mm lower went to the gun store with my other parts to finish the build. The gunsmith pulled it out of the box pulled the trigger and said the trigger needs to be adjusted and showed the gun store owner and me what the problem was. It was dirty beyond belief the gunsmith put his finger in the trigger and it came out black it had all the dust and dirt from the manufacturing process inside. So he said it was built good but it needed to be cleaned and the trigger adjusted. I went to write a review on their website they were sold out and there was no reviews posted. They also have been making it for a long time and were not sold out of the 9mm with the buttstock. That was not sold out and had only 12 reviews and have been in business for decades. They read the reviews before they post. They did not post my review and all the other reviews yet they sell a lot of them and were sold out. Product build good but you have clean it and fix the trigger. Of the 12 reviews two people mentioned the trigger and it has an 8 pound pull. It is being built right now and I will post a picture and what the gunsmith said to me from the questions I will ask and a photo of the build. I had to call customer support because no email sent when purchased. With no call back so I call again and talked to the sales department the next day and she said it is in stock and I got an email a few hours later that it was being shipped by FedEx with tracking number. It still does not show I purchased it in my account and it shows the date the last time the purchasing accounts was updated, which was 10/17/2023 which was about 6 days before my purchase date. That is now 19 days behind in updates to bring accounts up to date and does not show up in my account, but I was able to print out my order. I am a person that never writes reviews but the people need to know this so I did. I never got a receipt in my e mail printed it from my account even though my item's purchased account was empty.

Gun safety is important and I should not have to fix and clean what I buy to be safe.
I have the professional do my builds to make sure it is built right no missing parts and test fired.

BCA 223 Wylde upper with Monstrum 3x9 scope
November 4, 2023
Updated review

With my 67 year old eyes I was averaging 1.5" at 100 yds. For an inexpensive AR that's very good. That was with 77grain OTM and 62 black tips. Didn't matter which and, very little poa shift.

Took out my BCA.223 wylde. It's topped with a Monstum 3×9 scope. For eyes as old as mine between 1 & 2 inches at 100 yds is pretty damn good.

Terrible business
October 12, 2023
Updated review

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!

Bought parkerized 6.5 creedmoor. Nothing good to say at this point. Bad head space creates popped primers, bad cycling, jamming issues. I'm not a happy customer. Waiting for replacement! Customer service is absolutely horrible. Tried 20 plus times to call, several emails only one reply!
