LOL,,,Both of those act just as bad as my new BCA gen 2 , 7.62X39 side charging upper. IF and that's a BIG IF ,,I can even get a round to chamber to AT ALL, 3/4 of the rest of time I end up with light primer strikes as well. With 6 Failures out of a 10 round mag pretty consistently is just not acceptable,,call me fussy !
It seems like you've had allot of experience clearing jams and failures to fire but ya know what,,,,,,,,
I'M GETTING DAMN NEAR AS PROFICIENT CLEARING FAILURES TO FEED AND FAILURES TO FIRE WITH THIS NEW UPPER I GOT FROM YOU GUYS TOO!
I'm Still waiting to hear back from BCA even though a ticket has been generated on the 21st, PLUS I never got the "free" canted sights as advertised when I bought it.
NOT so happy at this point,,,,,,,,,
Grreat video, Keep up the good content!
Please tell me no rifle was hurt on the making of this video…lol
Decent video, but you completely forgot how nice it runs side charging with a lefty.
I just assembled my first BCA side charging upper and looks and feels awesome, hopefully I don't get any issues when I take it to the range and test it.๐ค๐ผ
What about failure to feed? Thats the issue I'm having with a 10.5 5.56 upper i have got from you, and the very 1st. Time I took it out.
Pulling the stock out will bend the buffer tube if you slam to hard
Great video and very informative. Keep up the content!
Excellent Video
What happens when side charger doesn't to charge after firing a round? The one I bought and arrived last week had a malfunction where the charger doesn't charge and it appears the gas tube doesn't produce enough gas.
Awesome information thanks for sharing
Ha!๐คฃHa!๐คฃ I was thinking ๐ค he didn't just bust up a rifle to make this video!!! ๐ I'm glad you cleared that up for me…๐๐๐
And when a shell is jammed in the chamber but the bolt-face sheered the rear of the shell casing off?
What broke off when you threw the rifle at the Target?
When mortaring, if it takes more than a tap, collapse the stock all the way in.
This is a great way to get the skin of your hand/fingers stuck in-between the buttstock & buffer tube when you mortar the rifle with your buttstock fully extended & your buttstock position pin shears off.
Have seen it before.
Collapse your buttstock.

I'm considering a side charger, but I'm not sure there is a benefit over a rear charger beyond preference. Perhaps I'm missing something.
Nice malfunction 101. I would like to recommend closing the stock ALL the way to flush when attempting the mortar technique as to not damage the lockpin nut. Yes, you lose some leverage but if you happen to break that (which Iโve seen) your whole day will have to change until fixed. Again, nice video and thanks for sharing.
My first 7.62×39 would light strike 1 in 20. Enhanced fire pin took right care of it. Early promag 7.62 AR mags were crap:)
Nice
