I believe they were the subject of an immigration raid not long ago? Not the kind of company I'm willing to support with my money. From what I've heard it was a temp agency that sent illegals with forged documents to work for them and BCA was released of all charges. Just what I've heard... Even if that's the case, they are tainted as far as I'm concerned. Too many other options.

I'm glad to see we have all came to an agreement $1200 uppers are great I'm sure, but I'm no "operator" and it will be a cold day in hell before I spend a grand or more on any AR, much less an upper alone. No different than many that won't spend $1500 on a Benelli when I will and have 3 of them. The $1200 deal I posted was a complete rifle. But it is over $1000. I’m a Benelli guy too. Just for reference, you can get a real good AR for less than a grand (or at least pre-panic you could). But the difference between an $850 and $1200 AR would be noticeable, especially to someone who insists on shooting a Benelli.

I'm one of those "fewer but better" people. I only have one .22 pistol--an S&W M41. One .22 rifle--CZ 457 Varmint. One AR--Colt M4...and so on. I used to have one upland shotgun--Benelli M2. One heavy revolver S&W 625 MG. I can only shoot one gun at a time so I want it to be quality.

LOL
I imagine many that are in a market for $500 ARs would prefer a $1200 AR, however, they're in the market at $500.

I mean, I'd love my own 1000 acre private ranch with impoundments, but I'm hunting the same small tract I have since childhood and battling the commoners on public waters every weekend because that's what works for my budget. I would prefer a $2k Noveske but that's just dumb for what amounts to another range toy.

Maybe, these guys can help you gather parts to assemble a budget, but, better than BCA upper? It's fairly easy to see how they can do it for $350 buying or making in bulk. Cheap ass BCG and all... $100 Barrel $40 Handguard $100 BCG $10 Barrel nut $5 Gas tube $15 Gas Block $60 Upper

Those that shoot a lot and don't have a trust fund gravitate towards genuine value. Glocks, Tikkas, etc. ARs are in the same league, a hard shooter will eventually end up w/ an AR built w/ premium parts. It is easier and cheaper to buy a good AR than a reliable 1911 mike r

It is easier and cheaper to buy a good AR than a reliable 1911 mike r I started with a factory Bushmaster. The only original parts left on that gun are the lower receiver, and some pieces from the lower parts kit. Keep in mind, one of my buddies says I'm so cheap he's embarrassed to go shopping with me, and he's a Jew...with a finance degree, so, what's that tell you?

I have not commented on their business, management, CS or any other aspects, nor intend to as I have no knowledge of it. Oh, and whiny fuucks that like to bitch about what other's get by with have little use to me. That's a main point. Nobody has said they are the best. Nobody has said parts are parts. Nobody has claimed they will out perform other like-priced items. Many have said they work fine for them. Carry-on.

I'm not carrying anything, or using a price point to say one product is better than another. Just pointing out the company named in the title of the thread has used illegal alien labor. If you're cool with that then you carry on girl! Might be some folks weren't aware of it and would appreciate the heads up.

OK? You brought it up to me, not me to you. I've made zero discussion of that aspect, as I already said I don't know about it in particular. Speak to it all you want. You want to get on the bitch about what others use, do, think, or comment regarding band wagon, carry-on.

Whatever your point may be, I have already indicated numerous times what I think, and have heard here on this thread and from another guy on the 'Fire, eg they seem to work. For chits and giggles I'll add, a 7.5" 5.56 is not for me. It was $218 pre-panic IIRC.

I got a couple of uppers for my wife to experiment with, because they were cheaper than I could build them. They worked for defining what she wanted, and now I can build the right one right, and not really be out near as much in the process. I didn’t expect them to be top tier. Hell, I’d have been surprised if there weren’t some sort of quality issues at that price point. One of them seemingly had a extremely tight throat.....can’t eject a live round by hand with most AMMO, without leaving the bullet in the throat. Works fine when firing....so far, but that’s a disaster waiting to happen, so it went back to BCA. BCA sent it back with a letter saying it shot fine. No [bleep]....until it doesn’t. Peeved? Sure. Great CS turnaround. Complete QC ignorance. However, I can say they met my expectations. LOL. Most issues aren’t going to keep anyone from plinking or hunting with them, for the average AR owner. Folks that aren’t that and are into the quality end of the spectrum are likely to be disappointed. Your $ is your $. Do what you like and damn what others think. You’re the only one has to live with it.
