why you shouldn't touch Black Creek Labs, massive QC issues. save your money, save your ammo.
Hey mate quick question what height scope mounts did you use
I think you’re compensating for something! Shit review…
had a bunch of soft strikes on a mrx bison in 223. when i got it back after they adjusted the headspace i noticed they had scratched it when working on it . they told me they dont have paint kits and then left me on read for a week. terrible customer service
You must have got an older serial number. The new ones seem to have fixed all the issues.
🇦🇺😎👍Nice. I’ve used the first model. Nice gun.
Is it hard on the brass?
Hard on the brass?
wtf does that mean?
Hi Rene New shooter Looking at this KA102 .223 ,What's the difference between signature series..... Re scope I've been suggested the Athlon 6.24 x 50 Any feedback be most appreciated. Michael
KA or LA? If you’re asking LA102 in 223 I’d say go for it!!! They make great rifles full stop, been supplying defence with 223/5.56 for decades. Possibly look at the SCSA Taipan if you’re thinking 223 also. I have a review of mine you might find helpful. As far as optics go, I swear by my Burris Droptine
Get yourself a good muzzle device mate. I went with a surefire SOCOM. Holds much much better on the follow ups. Good review btw 👍🏻
contemplating replacing the stock with ar type buffer, the factory one is surprisingly functional and works albeit heavy.. id like to shave a few pounds again from the gun.
Mine was terrible, very early serial number though…in the 40’s. Can’t believe they released it to the public with so many obvious issues with the early ones.
I agree mate same thing happened to me. I got ride of my lemon. Looks like the x is okay
My trigger is gritty and im not a fan of it at all. I got the same stock and thinking of getting the trigger done from my local gun smith
How much $ AUD for the 10 Round mag?
Around $100
Thanks for the review. I'm leaning towards the taipan x, assuming it gets approved in WA.
Same...but i believe as it is spring assisted it's unlikely to pass WA law. Tiapan lite might be an option.....I wonder if a spring can be retro fitted?
@@damienthoy8047 That sounds exactly like WAPol, and it also makes no sense. My Straight-Pull Shotgun has spring assistance and that's Category A!
Crazy rules. But I'm hoping for a X or a lite once the dust settles on these new reforms
I actually thought I would not like my Taipan, however, I love it. I added a Bipod to mine. Makes a massive difference on the bench. Love the muzzle flash also.
Hey Mate, do you have the links for pic rail and hardware that replaces the factory grip?
Great review, I'm loving my new Taipan I've done exactly the same Butt-Stock upgrade
Great vid
Like the information and honest review 👍
Well done it’s great to see a review from a Aussie so I just had to subscribe cheers mate 👍🍻🇦🇺
How do you find the black on black variant ?
Absolutely love the black on black
Has clevers fixed this issue? I noticed they are still selling it in 223 on their website, im interested in this rifle. Is there prehaps an ideal ammo that works best? Ive seen reviews where military grade ammo will cause light strikes.
Nice Review mate ,like Paul i just bought the 223 LITHGOW LA102 ,all ready have it in the 308 and also own the 22 LR LITHGOW LA101 .love the Quality
Its nice but a Mauser M18 is half the price. Same accuracy.
Just took a look, nice but not Australian made.
Adi is the best
Great review just bought the 223 la 102 crossover already have 308 in102crossover love it
BCL shipped me a new pin, spacer and end cap, I had a couple soft strikes in 50 rounds before I installed the parts. Haven't had any problems since with all types and brands of ammo, love this rifle very good quality and awesome customer service.
Thanks for the video/review mate. Was on the phone with Cleavers an hour ago chasing a .300 blackout and they recommended this one, telling me a few blokes that work there have a Bison and love it. I said I would do some homework/CZcams reviews and now very glad that I did. Cheers again 👍
I just ordered one in 5.56 yesterday...crossing my fingers its not a piece of crap...
If it's one with a serial higher than 3500 all issues should be fixed
@@MrJons420 higher than 3500?? i got my rifle a week and half ago and serial number is around 1900. i bought it in Toronto, Canada and even gun shop said they received it 2 weeks ago from BCL. 16.5 5.56 MRX Bison. hmmmmmm mine came with single ejector as they said then can replace to dual ejector unless it has issue with it. i wonder if i received it with single ejector bcuz its serial number around 1900???
@jeko8324 just basing it off My own experience. Mine is 3500+ and all issues were resolved before purchase
@MrJons420 where did you purchase the mrx bison ? In canada? Or in other country?
@@jeko8324 yes canada
Thanks for doing this video. No way I'll buy the Bison rifle now. I just don't want the stress of having to go through what you experienced. Really appreciate it. It's disappointing Cleaver didn't support you.
Good review mate
As a Canadian I want to believe it's not crap. To no avail!
I picked one up a few weeks ago, and it is a very new serial number. Have fired over 20 boxes of different ammo, both 223 and 556, and have not had a single light strike. It has the new 1:8 barrel, has no issues ejecting shells, and zero light strikes, even with military style primers. I really believe they have fixed the issues, but very unfortunate you had such a bad experience. It really is my favourite rifle to shoot
did you try some different ammo ?
Sorry to hear of the issues you're having. I have the same model for almost a year now. No issues at all. I've fired factory loads as well as reloads, never had light strikes.
Gee, just bought one in 7.62x39, hope I don't have any issues. They did include a small kit in case of light strikes. Never thought of it at the time. Going to the range in a couple days. Fingers crossed....
Fingers crossed for you, the retailer is giving me credit to choose a new rifle. Won’t go near BCL again. I hope the 7.62 is better than the 223
Sorry to hear about the issues with the Bison. I have a 300BLK , 16’ Barrel , shoot around 500 + rounds different brands , had 2 failure to extract on sub ammo. The rest has been working good so far. Hopefully you could find a solution. Cheers
Cleaver firearms have come up with a solution, full credit so I don’t need to worry about issues any longer
@@renebos9952 Good News , maybe the video on this platform helped 🤘
It gave their gunsmith an opportunity to see what was happening to the rifle for me.
1st I believe this is chambered for 5.56 nato, not 223? Unless it's 223 wylde. Do you have issues with 5.56? 2nd after misfire there's a safe practice of waiting a bit before extracting round tapping primer side down onto table. Just an observation....
Thanks for your comments mate, it’s sold as a 223 not 556. IRT your comment on waiting for the round to “cook off” you are correct but given its not faulty ammo I felt pretty safe. I do appreciate you taking a look at my video though.
Talked to my buddy has the same rifle 16" barrel and his IS chambered in 5.56 nato 1:8 machined on the barrel. Strange yours is 223, he did have to add a supplied shim at the bolt firing pin due to light strikes. Hasn't had an issue since, but he has not tried a variety of ammo
@@billderych8452 what country are you in? I Australia it’s sold as 223, not 556. In saying that if it’s chambered for 556 then in theory light strikes should never happen at all
@@renebos9952 Canada
Glad we had that discussion yesterday at the range, it's solidified my decision to purchase the Taipan over the Bison.
I think you’re making a very wise choice, Australian made and customer support available in country. Might see you out there shooting one day.
