Made in America is what makes the difference. I am always willing to pay more for made in America parts and accessories.
Bca is actually very cheap compared to the name brands obviously, I own 1 and mine has been just great so far
I own 3 bca guns and havnt had an issue with 1 and they all shoot great with the right ammo all shoot moa
But… it’s not more expensive…
When y’all get the 6 arc perfected,the machines start production,we want it and of course, ammo used for testing.
We love when the recommended ammo is description.
Big fan and owner of many
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
You guys at bear Creek are the best in the business today,, I'm 💯% BEAR CREEK ARSENAL!!!
Glad I purchased a barrel from you guys, definitely gonna order more for more projects. I really appreciate these videos, and the info y'all present about your offerings.
We can't see the magic behind the curtain! Oh man! 😦
I have purchased 2 BCA uppers in 2022 and am very happy with them both. I presume that they have BCA barrels in them :-) Very glad to support this American company putting out great products at a very reasonable price!!
That’s a cool process thanks for sharing
MORE TIKTOKS PLEASE!
I would LOVE a tour of your facility. I really like how you inform the public of how everything works. Every question I have called about has been explained simply.
My all time favorite rifle!!! Knowing how it was made is pretty cool! Thanks and keep up with the great videos!!!
I hope u guys get some ar9 uppers ready soon!
Great video, that's called craftsmanship!
Im a fan of BCA.
Love bear creek
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Made in America by Americans !!! And they shoot good too.
Awesome work
I bought a lot completed upper from you but I’m still waiting for 6arc complete upper or 6arc barrel
Awesome products. Would love to see more of these videos. Deff would like to see shorter pistol barrels like 4 to 5 inch area. And some other calibers. I have almost all the AR15 platforms you guys have. 12.7x42 450 458 7.62x39.
Bear Creek Arsenal puts out great products. Today I saw their ARs under $380. There’s an election soon so I may get a few and I suggest you do too
Great video Lamarr!!! For your next video can you machine a 20" 7.62x39 barrel and send it to me along with all the bits to make a complete upper? I promise I'll stop asking on every post after the man in the big truck wakes up all the residents on the Isle of Misfit Pets shelter where I have the honor of being the (unpaid) caretaker. It will be attached to the lower of the 5.56 NATO, 20" Parkerized Heavy Barrel, 1:7 Twist, Rifle Length Gas System, Rifle Handguard, A2 Front Sight & Carry Handle, Non-Collapsible Butt Stock Complete Rifle for use that just arrived this week...
Nice
Hey Bear Creek will u please make a 6mm arc upper? It’ll sell really good to the public. I’ll buy one
So if you’re making them in house, why tf don’t you guys make more 16” mid length barrels??
You need to make 24" SS in 6.5 Grendel.
The 6.5 Grendel was designed for best performance out of an 18" barrel.
@@kansasgardener5844 I don't care.
@@michaelgomez3044 Great attitude.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………I’ve got a bunch of y’all’s uppers and barrels. Love them all, especially the 450 Bushmasters. AND if you would make a 45acp barrel and then notify me by email ( I’m on the waiting list) , I’d have ANOTHER upper from BCA, but my patience is wearing thin.
We need a 6 arc yall!!!! Id buy one and a 12.5 6.5 grendel barrel as well
And French 7.65mm longue
Good morning hi there I love your products I have owned quite a few I am currently in the market for a new barrel configuration I like the AR-10 platform but I was wondering if you could make a custom barrel caliber if not can you recommend somebody that can
Will you guys be Making a 338 LAPUA 🙏
No plans for that yet, great suggestion though
Curious as to how long it takes one of your machines to drill through and rifle a 16" barrel.
they dont answer questions on here, they're too busy making good guns. cya
Are you planning to make a 6mm arc
And French 7.65mm longue, the HOT new cartridge!
Hay when are you going to make the HOT NEW CARTRIDGE THE French 7.65mm longue!!! ???
How do you make the barrel flutes if you don’t mind me asking
Are you planning to offer a QPQ/Melonite finish to your barrels, specifically the 416R SS, in the future? Thanks!
Do you guys pressure test or magnetic particle test your barrels? Also as I've bought a couple of your uppers, if y'all offered a shotgun upper receiver for an AR15 lower I'd definitely be interested!
410 would be a must
I need to get a 308 barrel either in 20-24” non threaded, are you guys planning on continue making them?
Yes, go to Calibers ➡ 308 Winchester ➡ Barrels to browse our huge selection
I know brands like PSA used to have a bad reputation but fixed themselves I ordered a 12.7mm upper from yall and im hoping it can at least run as good or a little subpar to PSA. Seeing most reviews are from 1-2 years ago im guessing your machining and metals used have improved.
How's that 50? I'm thinking about getting one.
@@burntsilverado cant tell you its sitting at home, im currently on tour in korea wont be back til next year sadly
Any plans to start making a 224 Valkyrie barrel?
Right after they make me a French 7.65mm longue
They make, or used too anyway .224 Valkyrie barrels. I have a 22" 416r fluted 224Valk from Bear Creak.
You guys gonna be making any more barrels that have the a2 front sight installed ? Like 7.62x39 or 300blk ?
what is the bore diameter on your 7.62x39 uppers
7.58
🤙🏻💪🏼🇺🇲
I thought you guys just used barrel seeds. Just planted them out back, add a little water and sunshine and let the good ole Amish barrel farmers do their thing. 😂🤣😂🤣
Love you guys! 💪💪
I have 9 of your uppers and was wondering if you are going to make the 350 legend 16” and the 6.5 Grendel 20” with the Bear Claw fluting? The other question is are you going to make 350 legend and 6.5 Grendel pistols in rear charging?
Good luck, I have been after them to produce the hot new French 7.65mm longue for years!
I love this comment. Let em know your a repeat 9x customer, then a suggestion for what you want. BCA Definitely listens to there customers. So if they don't offer it, then it's probably already in the making. They drop a new product seems like every month. Go BCA! Yall stay safe and keep shooting 🤙
Thank you for the suggestion, our product offerings grow everyday, but there is no ETA on that yet
@@knightcustombuilds6988 I like there product updates, staying current on making everything the best it can be made, side charging is a great example.
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal thank you for your reply
Are they cut rifled or buttin rifled?
Why are they all M-4 cut when NOBODY is ever going to be hanging an M-203 grenade launcher off of them?
Our barrels are button rifled.
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal glad you asked this , i thought they were hammer forged, only a few out there still using button, savage comes to mind and i think button is more acc., long as the button dont wear too much before a new bit is put in or on "i would like to see the prosess"
HEY WHERES THE GPX?
Check back on Monday for a special announcement about the GPX...
Bring back 5r rifling .223 barrels, also make an 18" socom profile rifle lenght gas system with 5r.... a LOT of ppl wanting to make a mk12 style rifle
When you making the 6.8SPC
Thank you for these videos. I learn alot. Just recieved 2 of your uppers and they look great.
I am satisfied with everything I have bought from Bear Creek. I have two ar 15 uppers that shoot great and are way more accurate than one would expect for the cost. I have a 223 wylde barrel im building now and a ar10 upper I shot one round through that jambed but im sure its just a timing issue that I haven't had time to mess with yet and Bear Creek told me they designed all their firearms to use a carbine spring and buffer and I had put a rifle spring and buffer on it so im not worried one bit because their customer service is great, they always say if im not 100% satisfied with any of their products they will refund and they have never given me a reason to think otherwise. I doubt I will ever buy a barrel from anyone else, no need to, Bear Creek is more accurate than most and the price is much better than most.
Waiting on my 20" heavy fluted 6.5 Grendel upper to be in tomorrow from you guys!!!
My 10.5” 350 legend pistol upper is accurate but it will not cycle the round
We are very sorry to hear that. Please submit a warranty request on our website and we will certainly assist in getting this rectified. Here is a video that will guide you through the warranty process: ua-cam.com/video/eR2B27WtoZM/v-deo.html We look forward to getting you shooting again
Very cool video!
How about a 14.5” 7.62x39?
Might as well make 16" there's too much cost to make ANOTHER length that is even arguably not even worth it ballistic
@@joecentral-o9984 I’m not looking for ballistics. I’ve got 3 16” 7.62 AR’s. How many barrel lengths do they make in .223/5.56 and all there is in 7.62 is 7.5 or 16. I bought a ballistic advantage 16” 300bo barrel and cut it down because I’ve been try to get a 14.5 barrel for years. People hunt with these guns and I don’t want to creep through the bushes with any more barrel length than I have to. The coyotes I’m shooting are at less than 100 yards
@@jeffhuntley2921 you needed to have listened to what I said. It's economy. If they can sell 500 of one barrel but 50 of another they won't
@@joecentral-o9984 how many companies sell how many different lengths of .223/5.56 barrels. So many different manufacturers. Everyone has a 14.5” 223 barrel. My suppressor qd mounts come predrilled for pins with recessed holes for the weld. There is obviously a market out there
@@jeffhuntley2921 sbr?
Can you please give some information on Phosphate non chrome lined barrels. Do they wear much quicker, are they prone to rusting? And most importantly is there anything I need to know about maintenance? Thanks
Piston AR-10?
If they do, game over for SCAR lol
I love your products! I have 4 of your uppers and will probably get a few more! How about a buy 4 get the 5th free? LMAO! Seriously though, I would like to here your thoughts on the new AFT regulations coming out pertaining to upper/lower receivers. I know you guys are 2a strong!
I have one of your uppers 223 16 in love it you should make your own quad rails
Some governmentish profile 308 barrels please
Witch government?
It may be a trade secret but can you answer a question? Are the barrels or the raw material they are made from heat treated with a quench and temper process? Many, if not all, barrels are stress relieved after rifling but I haven’t been able to find the answer regarding hardening and tempering.
It would be easier to cut un hear tested material, then heat treat after
@@DANTHETUBEMAN heat treating after detailed machining like rifling leads to warping and would have to be recut anyway.
When will you make the 6.38575 x 3675.5? That's what we all want this weekend, I got 5mm I got a 6mm I don't got a 6.3865 mm!!!! We need this in the new heavy barrel 3" MAGNUM reverse gas half gas unlimited gas blowback blow-by!
I just bought an upper and lower chambered in 308. AR-10/AR-308.
I ordered a 20-inch 416r stainless steel heavy barrel. And it is absolutely beautiful. I am about 400 rounds into this so far. I've only had it for about a week. And it is very very accurate and the dependability is definitely there. The only thing I did when I got it was thoroughly clean and lubricated and then I sat down working the action for about 20 or 30 minutes and then I cleaned and lubricated it once more and then I took it out. Flawless performer so far.
Glad you're loving your BC-15!
