So I wouldn't need a buffer/spring at all right?
Good video, very informative, thanks much.
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
Finally got one of these for the kids 👍🗽🇺🇸🦅thanks again and God bless
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?
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.
Can I use my CMMG conversion magazines with this upper?
I got the 22 conversion kit. However, I was wondering if you have the 22 barrels and the other parts of the conversion kit. I do know that CMMG makes them, but I prefer BCA.
Can y’all do a more in depth video of the .17 hmr upper both in a 16” and the 7” I can’t find any other videos anywhere on them?
Thanks looking for a 22lr upper.
Does anyone know if this 22lr bolt is M16 or FA profile? And if not will the bore buddy sear trip work with this BCA bolt?
Thanks in advance for Abby help
The underpowered subsonic ammo is understandable to cause issues but do the full power, 60gr Aguila subsonic rounds have the same issue?
If I take the upper off my BCA 450 bushmaster can I put this upper on that lower? , new to AR platform
Q) is this blowback I ask because I want to use it in 17 Design Stripped AR-15 17DM-180 Billet Lower Receiver
Sadly I wanted mine to work so badly but I’ve had to send it back twice now because of light strikes, firing out of battery, and stove piping almost every round.
BCA ! Good stuff !
Gotta show the wife this my bday is in a month!@!!
I have 2 Marlins 795 and XT 22 VR very accurate!
I took a fox down head shot at maybe 20 yards with a 22lr.
What is the benefit of this vrs cmmg conversion?
Exactly what I was looking for to start hunting. Thanks!
Do all your uppers have issues with light hammer strikes.
Thanks bear creek arsenal!
Bear Creek Arsenal Brother Are you guys making this in left side eject? What is the twist 1:16? Can I get this with a stainless steel barrel? Best Regards!
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
Question ❓ I have a side charging 5.56 upper and I wanted to know will you BCA offer the 22lr bolt as conversion kit?
I love Bear Creek Arsenal!
When is the 6 7/8 or 7.5 inch upper coming back
Do you know how many deer have been killed with 22 long rifle, just saying.. 😉
Picked one of these up, So much fun to plink with. I had a couple miss feeds but nothing more than my 10/22. Great work!
Awesome upper, and its made in the 2nd best Carolina!
I love how the magazine compatibility topic… Which was the only reason I searched this video… Was a freaking afterthought and put in at the last second.
So I feel all of them should have Springs on it so that doesn't happen
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
Anyway that we can only buy the BCG?
@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!
What kind of magazines does it use? CMMG??
