  1. Mad at myself for not doing research.
    Got a hammerli 22lr which has been just fine, no complaints.
    Just think the BCA upper seems so much more crisp

  2. So got mine today took it to the range It worked great with the magazine that you included looks like a Gen 1 CMMG? But did you guys realize that the Gen 2 CMMG MAGAZINES DO NOT WORK WITH YOUR UPPER! The follower walls on the Gen 2 are taller and prevents the bolt from even engaging the chamber. Do you guys have a fix for this? or did you even know about this?

  3. I just purchased one. The magazine I purchased through BCA has an issue. Either the magazine release is in the wrong location, or the feed section that is suppose to match up to the breech was made incorrectly by "BLACK DOG MACHINE, LLC". I never had an issue with any BCA products. I purchased many uppers and killed many Deer. I just submitted pictures to BCA this evening. Waiting for a response.

  4. Love mine but the guide rod for bolt keeps bending and holding the bolt open. Quick fix but might break after bending so many times.. also bolt doesnt like to lock back, doesnt run well with other/bigger mags. Love the side charging and not having a buffer in my gun to lighten it up. Just bought a left side charging 5.56 from yall, you should make a left side charging ar22 for us right handed right eye shooters. Also if you made a 5.45 upper id buy it, specially if it was side charging! 😉 Thank you for the cheap uppers

  5. Tell you the truth I've if I was an engineer I would have made them all spring loaded because when you rack a shell in the chamber with the 556 223 whatever because they're not spring loaded that fire fan gives that bullet light primer strikes and in some cases it might be strong enough to set that round off

  6. @BCA. Have you ever put a .22LR or a .22WMR together with a 6 7/8” barrel and NO buffer or stock? More of a traditional looking pistol but on an AR15 platform? I think that would be a fun plinker!
