[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1605583, member: 10178"] In most anything you go with quality comes at a price. Anything from BCA is a crap shoot. My first 6.5 Grendel was built using a complete BCA 20" upper. It shot like a shotgun. Every shot was a flier. The crown looked like it had been done with a side grinder. Played phone tag with BCA for over 2 weeks trying to get to talk to the warrantee department which turned out to be just one woman who had been out with the flu. Finally got to talk to her and was emailed a UPS pick up ticket and I had to box up the upper and UPS it to them. It took about 10 days to get it back but I only live about 350 miles from them. They replaced the barrel. After break in cleaning process and with a little over 60 rounds down the bore it started to shoot consistently just under 1" five shots at 100 with certain handloads. It is picky about what it wants to shoot and it will not shoot factory Hornady 123 SST ammo under 1 3/4" at 100 yards nor any hand load I tried with the 123 SST bullet. While I was playing phone tag and doing the USP shuffle with BCA I decided to just build me another AR in 6.5 Grendel from the ground up. I used Anderson upper and lower frame. I got an Oden Works 18" barrel package with BCG, tunable gas block with the gas tube that goes with this intermediate length system. I use a POF drop in trigger with other parts mil-speck I got from either Joeboboutdoors.com or Primary Arms, can't remember. This rifle shoots but the barrel cost more than a whole BCA upper but again your get what you pay for. Just my experience. [/QUOTE]
