Bad-Doing experimenting so don't want to spend a lot until everything works-bought a cheap 50$ BCA 8.5" .300 barrel-worse feed ramps I've ever seen/dealt with-every other round gets hung up/won't feed-going to get out dremel this afternoon and reform/clean.
Good-bought a 16" barreled upper w/carbine gas in .300 again last yr,dug out,checked out nice feed ramps,beginning of barrel was so/so-used a Tubbs Final Polishing Kit on it-first 50rds were it.....what a difference-no one believes it's a BCA because it shoots so good-she's taken many a hog.Quiet as a pellet gun suppressed.
Neither-Shearing the handle of the BCA side charge I bought as part of experiment-sucks-NOT BCAs fault-I play hard:)

I have 2 BCA, a .50 and 16" 5.56. Both shoot with no issues. The GF is dialed in, my .50 shoots really low at 25, I was just trying to get it kinda dialed in then move it out to 50 yards, just moving to 50 with some cardboard around the target and see how it does.

I am looking at buying a wylde from them soon.

A while back I bought a complete side charge upper in 7.62x39. It started having problems so I contacted them. Good enough customer service. I can't knock them for effort. Quality control was a bit off though.

I suggest you go over anything assembled and make sure it's all tight.

Zant, my side charge handle kept coming loose until I gave it a drop of blue loctite. Now I keep an Allen wrench in the soft case for if I need to remove bolt

Like I said-it was a 50$ barrel-if it was 2-500$,there would have been major complaints.Cleaned up the ramps with a Dremel,they look better and seem to function.
The sidecharger was my fault so I'll try and get the broken shaft out this week.Luckily I had a few uppers laying around.
