I’ve been ordering from BCA, and have made purchases from them dozens of times through out the years. I love this company and I usually recommend them to my friends to check out. They gives discounts to veterans like myself which is always a plus. With a wide variety of options From Great budget options to more expensive and higher quality ones. Options are great and the prices are even better. Highly recommended.

I have purchased multiple uppers and lowers from BCA and I am always satisfied. Quality products that are affordable and accurate. Also fast free shipping it would be a safe bet to buy your 1st or 101st AR from BCA. I love this company and will be a customer for life.

Some claim you need a high price gun for reliability. All you really need is a Quality gun from bear creek arsenal

I own 3 Bear Creek Uppers (7.62x39, 5.56, .300). I love them all. Like any firearm you have to learn it and figure out its corks. We have had to try and dial in buffers but you get a great product at an amazing price.I plan to buy a 9mm wish they had more in stock. I love the pistol uppers they are so much easier to handle for my wife and kids. Side chargers are so much easier as well, highly recommend.

I own a Bear Creek 350 legend side charge upper on a another companys lower and two stage trigger. Now three of my friends want one! My only complaint is the front of the charging port seems to have slightly deformed. Im not sure why since i have an adjustable gas block that I started out with closed and opened a 1/2 turn at a time until the BCG would function reliably. It isnt really that big of a deal unless it continues, Anyway the guns a tack driver and I plan to hunt with it this year!

Ordered my completed upper Friday morning and Monday by noon it was already at my place waiting for me. Installed it onto my lower and mounted my scope. Went out and shot some rounds through it to sight the scope and it worked great. I can’t believe the quality of the build but it is so solid and looks great! I will definitely be ordering more from BCA.

Phenomenal customer service and quick shipping…. The 300 upper that I ordered was here 3 days early and came exactly as described. I can cut holes at 100 yards with this upper easily, however I would suggest when you get the upper tear it down and clean it before going to shoot it. It had some issues cycling but it was just some assembly grease that needed to be cleaned and oiled afterwards it has cycle every time with cheap ammo or hunting rounds. I will be purchasing another upper through them very soon. Highly recommend

Purchased a 350 Legend barrel for a build at a discounted price and was pleased with its performance. It shot well and no problems with Ammunition feeding from the magazine. The only minor issue I had was the shipping packaging could have been a little better to protect the barrel threads as I had to chase them to thread on a muzzle brake.

I have purchased 2 barrels 300 black out 16 inch barrel and 350 Legend 16 in barrel both performed flawlessly and came in perfect condition. Also purchased a 6.5 Grendel upper complete. Works very well. No head space issues or break in pains. Unless I’m desperate I always feed my AR platforms brass so your mileage may vary with steel.

They listen to feedback from their customers and implement changes to existing models to improve functionality. I believe that it goes a long way to a customer. I own one of the 16 side charge upper (Gen2) and ive never had issues with it to date.

Overall I have been very pleased with this company. So far every upper has grouped 1MOA. I would not say they are the best and most high end. For bang for your buck though you get an amazing product that works great!!

Purchase a 350 Legend barrel for a build.Great quality and accuracy.Highly recommend Bear Creek Arsenal for high end components for a rifle build. Shoots great! If the grip nut holding the rifle does his part the rifle will hit what it is aimed at.

Very happy with my 6.5 Grendel(16”) upper, it is incredibly accurate and easily reaches 800-900yards. I use a vortex diamondback tactical for optics, a sweet combination. Thanks bear creek for sweet range days.

Purchased the left hand side charging 20 heavy barreled 1:7 for a longer range scoped sniper setup. simple and clean design, excellent workmanship and quality. perfect for prone long range never having to remove grip and trigger hand to operate rifle easily and quietly....they should had been designed like this for right handed shooters from the start. reliability and accuracy surpass those costing four times as much. love these guys,,!! thanks bear creek, there is still quality manufacturing here in the USA by proud Americans spreading the lead love and doing it with affordability and premium quality...

Review №24

These guys are awesome! They have the best customer service in the world. They also have the best prices on AR15 uppers that your not going to get anywhere else. Why settle for 1 upper when you can get 2 uppers for the same price. Once you visit their site, its a no brainer to go ahead and fill up that shopping cart with all sorts of hard to find goodies! Tip: Ask them about discounts. ;-)

Review №28

Bought an AR upper and I love the pattern!!!The hand guard is a bit offset compared to the barrel though, which causes me to adjust my rear sight as far left as it can go to get a zero on it; not sure if BCA can do something about that...Other than that, I love BCA!!!

Bought a 350 Legend Complete Upper Assembly. MAN! This thing is FUN, accurate, light recoiling with the 145gr FMJ. About like a 44 Mag trapper carbine with 180s. A satisfying thump. Its the top one. The bottom is another story.

Review №31

I havent gotten it to the range so I cant really review the uppers I bought but I can say Bear Creek seems pretty good. Shipping is extremely fast (and free). I bought 2 uppers at different times both arrived in 2 days. They seem to be great quality and if they work as well as they look well be alright! Right now Id say Bear Creek is top notch. Great communication, great products at great prices, and I hear they stand behind their products no holds barred. Cant ask for anything more.

I own a 22” stainless heavy barrel 243 upper and a 20” version. This was a ladder test using 60 grain Seirra hollow points at 100 yards using the 20” upper. My 22” heavy barrel 243 shoots a little tighter groups. Can’t complain with .3” groups out of uppers that cost under $300 at the time of purchase! Keep up the good work. I’d like to see a featherweight 243 upper next out of BCA.

Bought a 350 Legend upper. Side charging. Worked good. Cleaned after every two shot for 20 rounds. Then after every 5 shots until I had run 50 rounds. Gave the entire weapon a total take down cleaning. Run two fouling shots thru it then shot for best 5 shot group No malfunction at all. Using 145 grain Ammo. 100 yard targets. Bipod and rear bag. 4x12x44 scope. The target shows only four holes. Last four shells for the day. Hog gun deluxe

Purchased a BCA 350 upper two years ago and was able to use it last year and loved it! I like the 350 over the 450 and decided to buy another 350 for this year so my better half can use it instead of the 450!

I purchased a 350 legend complete upper 18 in. I have taken several whitetail deer with this round. One of which was at 208 yd. It is very accurate and has great stopping power. Here in Southern Michigan this makes a great option for a straight wall cartridge. Bear Creek arsenal produces a great product.I will continue to buy their products.Ed

Recently purchased an Upper reciever in 7.62x39 (Before the russian ammo ban, of course my luck) but the upper was built sturdy and solid, propper headspacing and the ejection pattern has been correct and dead consistent with every round and every type of ammo i put through it. i got the Heavy Barrel edition for longevity and accuracy so its a little hefty but definitely a quality product and will definitely be getting more from them in the future. Keep it up guys

Couldn’t believe the quality that came with the price of my .223 wylde upper. Came in well protected packaging and super fast. I’ve ran maybe 2000 rounds of cheap and high end match grade ammo through it and it doesn’t care. It’s holding super tight groups. Can’t wait to get more from them, maybe this time I’ll build a big round gun, I know it won’t disappoint.

Since finding BEAR CREEK on line I have purchased several rifles, pistols and also uppers and lowers. There has been a lot of rounds down range and a lot of fun. Some have made comments that there price is to low for quality, I guess they one do not know how to shoot and think by spending more they will shoot better. And two do not know what quality means. Buy one of their products and go to the range. You will be like many that I know and be buying another and another. Have fun and be safe.

I currently own 2 complete uppers and have run thousands of rounds through both without issue. I have also assembled several uppers from BCA components. The quality is one of a much higher caliber than many I have used in the past. We run classes several times per week and we find other manufacturers components turning up with lots of issues and thus far have not run across any with Bear Creek Arsenal’s… I highly recommend their products.

I have 6 or 7 uppers from Bear Creek Arsenal. That alone speaks volumes about the quality and care that I find when I visit and shop with them.
