HH,
That's the best use case and attitude for purchasing a BCA rifle.
At one point I think they were selling complete rifle for $350. At that price point you are going to have some issues, but it's a great opportunity to learn the platform. If something breaks or doesn't work, try not to send it back to the factory. Figure out why it doesn't work, and what if anything you can do to fix it with the tools at hand. Learn what to gauge, and look for, and as parts fail, or approach failure, do your research, learn provides the best value for your needs, and replace and upgrade accordingly.
Now this approach isn't for everybody, but if you do, eventually, you'll end up with a good rifle, you'll know why it's good, you'll know what you want in your future builds, and sound just like the rest of us AR snobs with a preference for (but can't always afford) high end parts.
My first build was all PSA and Anderson parts. My last build......not so much.

This is exactly the plan with the one I bought from them recently
