Great 350 Legend upper!
September 20, 2023

I bought the 18 inch 350 Legend upper when it was in stock and I'm very happy with it. I'm a lead bullet shooter so I had to lap the barrel smooth and get the dimensions right, but once I did that this thing shoots great! I replaced the heavy handguard with a Stinger guard, and I really like the side charging action. Hard to beat these for the money. Wild hogs are my primary target for this rifle and so far it's done a great job on them!

HELP MR John
September 14, 2023

I have purchased a couple of complete uppers from this company. I shot it once and the shell is stuck in the barrel. I pulled the bolt back and now it is stuck and wont open. I have called every day for a week and a half leaving voicemails. No response emailed customer service, no response. I am at the end of my rope. I do not like leaving bad review's but this is ridiculous! All I need to know is what is happening and how they are going to fix the situation?

I purchased a 20" side charge 350 Legend and a lower from Bear Creek. The gun doesn't feed for crap. Tried multiple magazines and 3 different rounds to no avail. I contacted customer service and received a AI induced response, but it's been more than a week and nothing! Wanted this gun for hunting season

When I made a purchase from Bear Creek arsenal I was extremely impressed with the craftmanship and functionality of their products. Would recommend. Their BC-15 side charging uppers are very good.

I purchased a complete ss side charge upper in 223 Wylde 16 in and installed on a lower I built and added a 1-6 Mantis bdc sight. Sighted in at 30 yards, and 4 rounds later, right on center of target. Then, moved out to 100 yards, and shot 10 round group less than 6 inches…plenty good for me, as I will be 79 this year…I have already used in competition. I am old school, USMC Vietnam combat Vet. Now looking at a 10 1/2 for my next build. I really like the side charger configuration.I was so pleased with this upper, that I purchased a BCA lower in pcc for my next build. Yes, it will be a side charge upper.

Love going to the John Lentz hunter education range with this rifle but cost of ammo (wife) required me to purchase your 22 LR upper, excellent performance and fast shipment. North Carolina is a great state with lots of awesome ranges. Go Navy beat Army! Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond" says it best. No better home defense system, ref photos. Thank you for your time and craftsmanship of your outstanding weapons.

I purchased a 6.5 Grendel upper from Bear Creek arsenal have used it twice to sight different scopes 30 rounds and the gun had failure to load issues now the darn thing jammed and will not cycle at all. I have ordered several uppers and lowers, but never again. My calls have never been returned and all calls go message. I have literally lost count of the calls I've placed. Until recently I did not believe what I heard about bear creeks customer service or their lack of.

.50 BobaWulf (12.7×42 upper)
August 8, 2023

If you're looking for a heavy hitter upgrade to your AR platform this is a knockout! The 12.7x42 cartridge is impressive to say the least. It uses a 7.62x39 bolt carrier group and standard 5.56 mags (with some follower modification necessary) a 30rnd 5.56 mag only holds 5 of these bad boys. I have modified mine to look as if it's from Boba Fett's arsenal. Bear creek made this super affordable and very reliable. Very fast shipping and excellent customer service. 10 out of 10! Will most definitely be purchasing more uppers from here.

Hunt master 30-06
August 8, 2023

I received my Hunt master 30-06 from Bear Creek Arsenal. This is a heavy built gun,rugged and powerful. The bcg is massive and the upper receiver is large and amazingly well done. The 20 inch barrel gives it the potential for fine accuracy and hunting capability. The down fall is weight, this is a heavy gun and built to handle magnum cartridges ( 300 Win Mag.) matched with a good scope it is a beast. Another down side is mags and getting more of them. Hopefully the future will help make them available

I was first interested in this company for its side charging models. I don't think they asberate the benefits this offers. They produced at least one video illustrating some of the benefits like easier access when a scope is mounted. I believe they are the only manufacturer to offer this with a reciprocating charging handle giving the shooter control of the bolt. I know have purchased several uppers and three lowers; AR 9, AR10, and AR15. I have not experienced any problems and the fit and finish was excellent.
