Ok so my extractor came out of mine yesterday, had it a lot over 2 years, and I messaged bca and they said return it and I don’t want to return my whole damn gun for a silly lil part. So what is a good aftermarket extractor for the bca 22. I’ve been trying to just look at what would fit best and that seems to be the Ruger 10/22 extractors
Lamar, just wanted to take this time to thank you and everyone at BCA for putting out quality products and for keeping well below competitive prices. Again, thank you and God Bless brother!!! ~Jay~.
so I ordered your .22 and had issues with light striks from the firing pin this would cause the extractor not to work properly had couple rounds explode in the BCG after looking at the Firing Pin I took it out and welded the tip 1/16 of inch after filing to fit the BCG hole it works Flawlessly I would recommend making the Firing pin longer this would help overall 👍
Bought one last week. It worked perfectly, put 50 rds with no lube. Then another 50rds after I poured some oil on the bolt. We shoot every Friday, so will do it again this week, so far it is super good.....
Received my AR 22LR upper from Bear Creek middle of this week just in time for a weekend work out at the range. The upper arrived well packaged, no damage and was very pleased at how well it was put together. I thought a 10 round magazine was to be included but not so. No big deal. I mated the upper with a PSA lower built with a CMMG lower parts kit, including CMMG trigger/hammer. This lower has performed flawlessly with my 556 upper. The day at the range was mostly successful. I had 4 CMMG 25RD mags stuffed with Winchester 40gr super-x to start the check out. Out of the 100rds I had 4 FTE, 3 FTF, 2 light strikes and one DOOB. I really attribute most of those failures to the ammo. The reason being is I have similar issues with the Winchester ammo in my 10/22s and Marlin 60. I reloaded the empty mags with Aguilla 40gr HV and one FTE and one light strike. Think upper needs to be broken more but overall 👍 Was really impressed with the accuracy of the barrel. At 50yards using a Romeo 5 red dot was consistently shooting 5-6 round groups that could be covered with a quarter. Much more accurate than the CMMG conversion and right on par with my Marlin 60. The bolt design appears adequate for the job but the only two improvements I would recommend would to use a dual guide rail and encapsulated spring for the bolt as in the cmmg bolt. The single spring and guide rod produces a torquing action that could bind the bolt. Also of course is the chisel tip firing pin. Considering the price point, I'm very happy my purchase. The BCA barrel exceeded my expectations for sure.
Yo just a heads up the included mag was missing from my shipment as well. If you get in contact with them they will make it right and ship one out to you.
I just got mine combined with my PSA lower. Love it! I cant say enough about this upper! It is my now go to squirrel/rabbit gun. Very accurate with my Bushnell Rimfire scope. Very accurate to 100yards. More than enough for 22 lr
I love all my bear creek arsenal stuff I have. I've never had any problems with any of it. I highly recommend them. I have three barrels and a few other little parts.
I love bear creek arsenal products so much quality for the price this company is going places they will end up with one of the best reputations in the business if they keep going the way they are
Using the CMMG Gen2 mags on a BCA .22lr upper they tend to push up on the ejector causing the bolt to jam. Not sure if this happens with other manufactures. Simple solution is to file down part of the feed lip on the left side. Only takes about +/- 1/16 of an inch.
I just purchased one of these in the 10.5" length, last week. Have fired about 500 rounds through it. It works very well indeed. I have tried 6 different brands/loads of ammo, the only one it did not like was Remington golden bucket 'o bullets. Everything else works correctly. Good accuracy, very easy to get one inch groups at 25 yards. Edit: I am running it on a Anderson lower.

Great lol I was thinking about what special buffer do I need for the mini .22 lr but this vid explained it perfectly for me. I have a small ar15 pistol that I built about a year ago and the thing is useless honestly so I kept trying to think what to do with that lower well now I know exactly what I'll use it for. The mighty .22 lr and let's go plinking... Thanks BCA for making it so easy and so affordable for us. I know I'm kind of late to the game but it's never too late to get into this hobby.
Love my Bear Creek 22lr upper. 1 failure to eject and 2 failures to charge the hammer in 200 rounds with 3 different brands of ammo. I'll take that any day!
Absolutely love mine! It works like a dream, built tough, shoots well, consistent, exactly the same feel as my others, just cheap as hell to shoot. Took mine out rabbit hunting the other day, it was blast. Pretty awesome and simple engineered solution for training and sporting.
This is cool... waiting on a 10 inch. I just ordered a 7.62x39 ar and I can't wait to shoot it. Just got my red dot yesterday. You guys make great products and I paid half what I would have at one of the box stores. Thank you for being you. Keep up the great work. Will be ordering a 300 blackout here today or tomorrow.
I love how the magazine compatibility topic... Which was the only reason I searched this video... Was a freaking afterthought and put in at the last second.
I wish this topic was bridged over to extractors lol, I can’t seem to find an extractor specifically for the bca22… the ruger 10/22 seems pretty comparable
Very interesting bolt config. I can def see BCA eventually building off this design to create a buffer-less AR9 upper. Def would need a heavier spring and rod. Or a pair.
Looking at disassembly and listening to your explanation of how it all functions, will you please consider building a 22 WMR? Would be an excellent addition to your business. Keep up the great work, still love shooting my 350L every time i get it out of the safe.
I've got to think there's a reason there have been so few successful semi-auto 22wmr designs. If Ruger can't make it work, that says something. It's especially difficult to make them work with diverse loads on the market. That said, I'd probably want one, too, being a maggie junkie. If it happens, build it with the proper barrel dimensions so it's accurate. For those who don't know, 22 LR & 22WMR use different caliber bullets. Contrary to the popular myth, 22WMR can be quite accurate, with proper barrel dimensions. If you don't believe that, check out the Ruger American Rimfire in 22WMR. Mine shoots sub-nickle sized 50yd groups with ease.
3-22-22 , BCA hit it out of the park on this one. well done runs like a sewing machine . ran several different brans ammo no issues and accurate also. thanks BCA
Thanks for the take down instructions. Looks pretty simple. I'm going to get plenty of use out of mine when it comes in. Might be interested in the 22 magnum version too. I'll let you know what I think of it soon.
You should release a lower tension spring to put into the guide rod of the BCG so the .22LR will run subsonic ammo semi-auto in the side charger. Im not an engineer, but it seems that could be a fix to the lighter blowback from subs.
could be a cheap gimmick for you guys to produce if there isnt to much work to design it. I feel like it would sell well, I know I would buy at least two.
@@c.j.rogers2422 One of these days when I have enough time farting around to measure the spring size for matching lower tension springs, and to buy a spare in case I mess the original up. BCA doesnt sell spare springs for the .22 upper yet. (or at least its not listed on their website) They will only replace them if there is a manufacturer defect. These days my range trips are kept short, and I want to be able to plug and play. Im sure alot of other people feel the same. But you are certainly correct that it could be done on your own.
Love your guns only thing I didn’t like about my 300blk upper was the hand guard was too long I can not attach a suppressor on end with the hand rail come out to far towards tip. Other than that love it! Keep up good work Bear Creek!!! ❤️🇺🇸❤️👊🏼
Black dog 50rnd drum works with it, love mine, have kns on rear of receiver with MI lightweight folding stock since don’t need buffer and fold and fire capable
I've been looking for a good dedicated 22lr upper for a couple of months now. I placed an order the other day at another reputable company for their upper then this video came up in my recommended list due to me searching up 22lr videos. I then QUICKLY cancelled my order and jumped on the BCA website to buy this upper. I'm so pumped to have a BCA sidecharging 22lr to add to my collection!
@@sticksnstonespatriot1728 I really like it. It feels solid and has a perfect weight to it thanks to the thick receiver and heavy barrel. It shoots great with almost no recoil. CMMG mags work perfectly with it. I definitely would recommend.
Love mine but the guide rod for bolt keeps bending and holding the bolt open. Quick fix but might break after bending so many times.. also bolt doesnt like to lock back, doesnt run well with other/bigger mags. Love the side charging and not having a buffer in my gun to lighten it up. Just bought a left side charging 5.56 from yall, you should make a left side charging ar22 for us right handed right eye shooters. Also if you made a 5.45 upper id buy it, specially if it was side charging! 😉 Thank you for the cheap uppers
Hi Lamar, could you please make a classic 22lr AR15 in 16” and 20” with the A2/3/4 carry handle and F marked front sight post and the plastic hand guards with rear charging handle or side charging handle, rear charging preferably.
Thank you for the question and idea, currently we do not have this on our radar for production, but we are regularly asked, by management, what kind of rifles our customers are looking for. We will place this within our pool of suggested ideas and as the need and want grows, so will the incentive to manufacture.
@Ben Frank 15 It uses cmmg pattern conversion mags; rock on Man! 🤘 You know you need a rifle length for long range work. Haha Best Regards and God Bless, Col
@@colbollinger1110 got that handled with the 10/22. I think this in a 80 percent lower would be awesome backup "truck gun". I think with a frt-15 we in the works for modern "reliable" tec22
I will be adding one of these to my collection very soon! As a request, I would like to see BCA manufacture an AR barrel in 223/5.56 with a 1:16 twist so I can use it on a .22lr dedicated upper paired with my CMMG and GI surplus .22lr adapters.
@@willrobinson9575 A $75-$90 dollar barrel along with my conversion kit gets me the equivalent of a nearly $300 complete upper. I guess math isn't your strong subject.
I just purchased one. The magazine I purchased through BCA has an issue. Either the magazine release is in the wrong location, or the feed section that is suppose to match up to the breech was made incorrectly by "BLACK DOG MACHINE, LLC". I never had an issue with any BCA products. I purchased many uppers and killed many Deer. I just submitted pictures to BCA this evening. Waiting for a response.
Appreciate your videos. I do wonder if the bcg on this particular 22L upper will trip an auto sear on a mil spec lower. Again, thank you very much for your videos. Looking forward to snagging a BCA upper in the very near future.
@@bgray0067 Well, that sucks because it also means it won't work with the Fostec binary triggers. My understanding is they need a BCG with the auto profile. The Franklin Binary triggers might work, but those have the problem of outrunning the bolt carrier. The Fostec eliminates that issue by somehow engaging the auto profile on the BCG.
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal I'll be anxiously waiting for the pistol upper. Please hurry before my wife finds out I've bought 4 pistol uppers from you in the last month.
Please make a short threaded model. Would make great suppressor hosts. I know others on the market that are short enough that bulk .22 is subsonic and are incredibly quiet... I'm so here for that.
Sadly I wanted mine to work so badly but I’ve had to send it back twice now because of light strikes, firing out of battery, and stove piping almost every round.
So got mine today took it to the range It worked great with the magazine that you included looks like a Gen 1 CMMG? But did you guys realize that the Gen 2 CMMG MAGAZINES DO NOT WORK WITH YOUR UPPER! The follower walls on the Gen 2 are taller and prevents the bolt from even engaging the chamber. Do you guys have a fix for this? or did you even know about this?
Does anyone know if this 22lr bolt is M16 or FA profile? And if not will the bore buddy sear trip work with this BCA bolt? Thanks in advance for Abby help
@BCA. Have you ever put a .22LR or a .22WMR together with a 6 7/8” barrel and NO buffer or stock? More of a traditional looking pistol but on an AR15 platform? I think that would be a fun plinker!
been looking at getting one of these, Money is a bit tight at the moment so will have to wait, Hopefully yall will have some in stock when i am able to get a couple of them. I know yall run out of stock pretty quick. Question: I would like to know if yall have any thoughts on building a 10mm upper for sale?
@@cartersloan9903 that's not what they replied in my email on Monday... They said it comes with a 25 rd mag and do not ship to state with nag capacity restrictions
My upper did NOT like round nose golden bullets. I had a few failure to eject instances, and a couple of double feeds. I’ll have to go back to range and try federal again or CCI but after the last double feed I just went back to shooting 9.
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal thank you so much!! I still think it’s an ammo problem but will definitely reach out if it’s not. I know you guys will take care of it, no doubt. Super excited to go back to the range and shoot it! 🙌
As the operation of a binary trigger doesn't rely on any interaction with the bolt other than the hammer reset to achieve it's function it should work, I'd be curious as to whether it will work with the full auto trip in a registered full auto lower though.
@@revgregory I dont know about these uppers working on full auto trip, as I have no experience with this upper on full auto. That being said: CMMG conversion kits that work on blowback will work with full auto, so I dont see why these wouldnt as well.
Please note: magazines are no longer shipped with a complete rifle or upper purchase, but are available for sale at BearCreekArsenal .com
Can this AR be converted to a 5.56? The Lower Receiver is Milspec right?

Should do a .22 magnum upper??!! I’ll take two..!!
In the works
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal awesome 👍🏿
Mad at myself for not doing research.
Got a hammerli 22lr which has been just fine, no complaints.
Just think the BCA upper seems so much more crisp
Appreciate your videos. I do wonder if the bcg on this particular 22L upper will trip an auto sear on a mil spec lower.
Again, thank you very much for your videos. Looking forward to snagging a BCA upper in the very near future.
It will not trip the sear, just tried it. Hopefully Bear Creek Arsenal will design a new bolt that is capable!!
@@bgray0067 Well, that sucks because it also means it won't work with the Fostec binary triggers. My understanding is they need a BCG with the auto profile. The Franklin Binary triggers might work, but those have the problem of outrunning the bolt carrier. The Fostec eliminates that issue by somehow engaging the auto profile on the BCG.
Now you guys just need to make the bolt catch cut out bigger so the uppers are compatible with magpul bad levers!
We made that improvement several months ago
Good video, very informative, thanks much.
Buyin one and goin bear huntin. Thanks guys!
I love Bear Creek Arsenal!
Thanks looking for a 22lr upper.
Can y’all do a more in depth video of the .17 hmr upper both in a 16” and the 7” I can’t find any other videos anywhere on them?
Get this upper to Buffalo Outdoors.
@@crislopez5394 he’s not talking about a store dip💩
@@jackm8864 tell your mom I said Hi
high dollar stuff here. some say the bcg doesnt fit some barrels. need to sell bcg with barrel matched set.
Any plans to do shorter barrel lengths?
Yes we do plan to offer pistol configurations eventually
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal Outstanding!
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal I'll be anxiously waiting for the pistol upper. Please hurry before my wife finds out I've bought 4 pistol uppers from you in the last month.
Please make a short threaded model. Would make great suppressor hosts. I know others on the market that are short enough that bulk .22 is subsonic and are incredibly quiet... I'm so here for that.
Q) is this blowback I ask because I want to use it in 17 Design Stripped AR-15 17DM-180 Billet Lower Receiver
Sadly I wanted mine to work so badly but I’ve had to send it back twice now because of light strikes, firing out of battery, and stove piping almost every round.
Does it work with a binary trigger?
So got mine today took it to the range It worked great with the magazine that you included looks like a Gen 1 CMMG? But did you guys realize that the Gen 2 CMMG MAGAZINES DO NOT WORK WITH YOUR UPPER! The follower walls on the Gen 2 are taller and prevents the bolt from even engaging the chamber. Do you guys have a fix for this? or did you even know about this?
just like the 10/22 good stuff
Love mine great accuracy but feed ramp needs polish
Will you expand this platform to any other 22 calibers 22mag, 22TCM??
I bought a m+p 15-22 mag and it's having an awful time feeding the ammo, any thoughts?
Does anyone know if this 22lr bolt is M16 or FA profile? And if not will the bore buddy sear trip work with this BCA bolt?
Thanks in advance for Abby help
Is the bolt compatible with a 556 side charging upper?
@BCA. Have you ever put a .22LR or a .22WMR together with a 6 7/8” barrel and NO buffer or stock? More of a traditional looking pistol but on an AR15 platform? I think that would be a fun plinker!
Great idea Scott! We have yet to video that
I can't find just the bolt! That's something I need.
Just ordered my 10 inch model. Can't wait!
Does anyone by chance know what watch that is that he is wearing? Haha
been looking at getting one of these, Money is a bit tight at the moment so will have to wait, Hopefully yall will have some in stock when i am able to get a couple of them. I know yall run out of stock pretty quick.
Question: I would like to know if yall have any thoughts on building a 10mm upper for sale?
I need one of these but 11 inches ish. Is that something I can get?
When are you guys going be able to ship to California? Please get the 10 round mags soon or start selling with an option with no mag!
This comes with the 10rd mag
@@cartersloan9903 that's not what they replied in my email on Monday...
They said it comes with a 25 rd mag and do not ship to state with nag capacity restrictions
@@jaico5538 thats weird, in the video they say they ship with 25 rd mags but their webpage says it comes with a 10
Hey Jaime we recently changed to shipping them with 10 round magazines. You're good to go!
Are you only making side charging uppers now?
My upper did NOT like round nose golden bullets.
I had a few failure to eject instances, and a couple of double feeds.
I’ll have to go back to range and try federal again or CCI but after the last double feed I just went back to shooting 9.
Sorry to hear that Sergio! Send bcatech@bearcreekarsenal.com an email if you continue to have issues
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal thank you so much!! I still think it’s an ammo problem but will definitely reach out if it’s not.
I know you guys will take care of it, no doubt.
Super excited to go back to the range and shoot it! 🙌
I keep getting in stock emails but as soon as i go to order it says out of stock. Email was sent at 4:00pm tried to buy at 4:10.
They sell fast, it happened to me once. But I was able to get the 10.5 pistol upper the second time.
Will this work with an FRT or binary trigger?
The underpowered subsonic ammo is understandable to cause issues but do the full power, 60gr Aguila subsonic rounds have the same issue?
I would love a 10 round option for slave states
Uppers don’t have mags
We are shipping them with 10 round magazines now. 25 Round mags are available for sale on our website
How do we take out the bolt
Any plans for a 22mag? That would be badass. I'd be a buyer.
Great to hear John!
I agree. 22 mag is actually useful.
I would love a 22 mag setup
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal build one that takes the Kel tec PMR 30rd mags. Just a thought.
@@sammystull4985 IDK if it's practical, but that's a damn good idea!
Is your bolt compatible with binary triggers?
As the operation of a binary trigger doesn't rely on any interaction with the bolt other than the hammer reset to achieve it's function it should work, I'd be curious as to whether it will work with the full auto trip in a registered full auto lower though.
@@revgregory I dont know about these uppers working on full auto trip, as I have no experience with this upper on full auto. That being said: CMMG conversion kits that work on blowback will work with full auto, so I dont see why these wouldnt as well.
When is the 6 7/8 or 7.5 inch upper coming back
Is there any plans to release an ar 22lr pistol upper?
We do plan to offer pistol configurations eventually
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal I look forward to picking one of them up when available. I currently have a few of your uppers and have had zero complaints.
