BCL102 dust cover issue

Ryan, I’ll respectfully disagree that this is somehow some sort of bonus feature. I’m not sure why you feel the need to make excuses for BCL.
I can push it or pull it to open it? Give me a break. I highly doubt that you’ll find a single customer that finds this “benefit” appealing. While it is not classified as an “AR15” it is fairly clear that a lot of the appeal for this rifle is that it is a non-restricted “AR” style of rifle in .308. In fact, it is supposedly based on the AR-102 and I don’t ever recall an ejection port opening that is too large for the ejection port cover to function properly being touted as a feature. Mind you I wasn’t around in the 50’s so who knows.
This simply appears to be more sloppy QC on their part. I find it troubling that rather than trying to fix the issue or hold BCL responsible that you’re trying to pass it off as a desirable feature.
Since you’ve decided to weigh in on the issue perhaps you could give us the proper specs of the rifle and tell us what may or may not be perceived as “features”. You could also maybe inform us of the actual warranty and what procedure to follow since BCL doesn’t feel it necessary to include that information with their product. I also have to question whether this issue would be covered under warranty since you seem to be implying that it is functioning as intended. We’ll have to take your word for it I suppose since BCL lists absolutely zero specs for this rifle. In fact, it isn’t even listed on their website.

For anyone who has ever qualified on a C7 closing the dust cover is just automatic, when it pops back open when you try to close it because it's too far back in its sloppy range of motion it's just annoying. Now I know it's not a C7, it's not an AR15 or an AR10 but it's trying pretty hard to look and feel like one without actually being one. And a dust cover you have to consciously ensure is aligned to get it to close is a pretty dumb "feature"

Come on guys! It's Tacticool! That's why.
That took me back - SP1's that wouldn't feed, and if they did they wouldn't hit anything, Delta HBAR's that were absolute disasters, re-torquing barrel nuts on new guns, tails broken off disconnectors, pins that were one dimension at the ends and entirely another in the middle - ah, the good old days. Colt's QC was so bad, people bought Oly's instead. When you bought a new $1000 (1985 - when $1K was serious cash) 1911 pistol and your first transport permit wasn't home - it was to your gunsmith to spend another $400 to get it to feed ball, lock open and take away the 9lb trigger pull, and make it so the back sight didn't fly off on your first mag.

That was nice of them.... Though I suppose there is just no pleasing some people... I can almost hear the cries of, "Serial number and address? That sounds like a backdoor registry, man!"

Electrical tape on the dust cover??
To me this whole dust cover thing is a non-issue... When my rifle will be finely tuned, if dust is still an issue with its smoothness/accuracy, then I'll address it.
