Best 3 or 4 AR15 Upper Receiver Types?

[Rocketvapor]

Rocket vapor I looked at the BCA upper and what a deal. But the fine print got me " works only with BCA gen 2 BCG." i have a bolt and carrier already.

The $100 side charge upper comes with a BCG, complete with a bolt. In the wife's 22 NOSGAR AR I'm using a LWRC 6.8 bolt in the BCA carrier.

It's a bargain if you don't mind a low end, CHEAP upper receiver. I wouldn't think of a BCA barrel or complete upper as a quality item though. Might work, might not.

Got my BCA 20" Wylde, stainless, fluted heavy barrel, side charge, three weeks ago. Most accurate out of the box AR I have ever shot. Fit and finish are excellent. Range report? After setting the rifle up and firing some cheap ammunition I fired some 55gr Sierra Blitzkings that I had loaded for my other AR....10 rounds in 1"....and yes I have pics. Rifle functioned perfectly.

Nu-uhh!

Ain't possible! BCA's are inexpensive! You can't shoot worth a darn unless you give an arm and a leg and mortgage your backside!

Prove it!

Joking aside. I sell BCA uppers and parts at retail. I have not had one come back with a complaint. That said, most of my buyers are casual plinkers. But, I think that if one just wouldn't shoot, I would have heard about it by now.

I agree with you i own a pistol upper and i am very satisfied with it. The blemed uppers that rocket mentioned were on my short list but the add says they must use a BCA bolt carrier and bolt and my project already has a bolt. I have a Nordic upper on the way.

DPMS made a heavy AR-15 upper receiver if you can find one. I believe they are part of Remington now.

@ebb
The side charge blem upper for $30 does need a BCA carrier.
The rear pull that was on clearance for $30 (now all gone) uses a regular BCG and charging handle.


The missing slot for the side charge handle is a dead give away. You missed the boat

They had them on the website still when i looked earlier in the week but the description of product stated they used only a BCA bolt carrier group.
