I completely agree with everything except the bit about Bear Creek, I can’t talk shit when my 300blk upper from them runs well 😂
I mean, nobody wants to admit that they ate 9 cans of ravioli own a BCA, but I do and it’s actually been surprisingly nice.
Okay memes aside, if buying BCA/PSA tier bottom bin parts know how to inspect them and make sure that they’re good quality. With any firearm purchase actually give it a good look over, clean and prep it, know how to do little things like sanding down a feed ramp with a little bit of time and sandpaper (youtube is great for this). Don’t just buy something planning to just shove it in the closet and not do any sort of work or prep or testing it at the range because if you do that, it’s going to be a lot worse if you need it to work and it doesn’t :)

The issue with BCA is QC. Sure, some of them, maybe most, are great. Then you get issues like a barrel that has no rifling.
I wouldn’t suggest sanding a feed ramp, but polishing one can help; a little bit of green jewelers rouge and felt tip on a rotary tool should do it.
