BCL 102 buyers remorse
- Thread starter jaybird888
- Start date
Seriously getting tired of the “but my gun works” BCL fanboys. So how does your ONE gun working offset the SIX that exploded and the HUNDREDS of people that post horror stories in the BCL threads?
Nobody is disputing that BCL can make ONE gun that shoots. We are saying that early adopters got screwed, customer service is non-existent and that you are rolling the dice by purchasing one.

The majority of "my BCL works" are the guys who put two boxes of ammo through their guns at 25m shooting 3 round groups and thats it.
it doesent say six exploded it says six were found to be misaligned,and to check for alignment.not a fanboy and yup mine works. by the way a best friend last year had a remington 1100 failure where the receiver blew out destroyed the gun due probable to worn parts as it was his clays and trap gun so it happenes.again bcl did own up to a problem and asking owner to check for the problem or send it in to get checked i beleive.and i like poker rather than dice lol. ive also shot 200 tula steel through it first day.my average range sessions are 200 rounds.and any ar type platform thats really nothing.a side note i only shoot factory . shoot the my tens once a week and the ars once a week .kinda of a stress releiver for me

I don't think there is a 102 owner out there that hasn't acknowledged there are flaws.
Early adopters like myself were buying a non-restricted AR-10(ish) semi autos (the only game in town aside from the modern hunter as mentioned).
Most knew of the poorer reputation of NEA/BCL going in and still went in, accepting the warts and all for what the rifle represented.
The Stag 10 didn't exist.
I'd also wager a guess that if right now the Stag 10 didn't exist and the new Troy offering wasn't on the horizon, there'd be a lot less #####ing about them and more guys just bashing on and making them work like guys do with the M-305...

About a 1000 rounds through mine so far. Hasn't been without its issues, but I can say the same for other ARs I own.
Cite your source that all six did not explode, fanboy. The exact quote is
it has come to the attention of Black Creek Labs that six (6) BCL102 rifles have been confirmed to have a barrel assembly that has come out of alignment through “normal use”
This does not preclude all 6 from having exploded. We have photographic evidence that at least 1 of the 6 exploded. So since we're dealing with PEOPLE'S ####ING HANDS AND FACES maybe it's safer to err on the side of caution rather than split hairs?

Let me get this straight. You claim that six exploded but you want me to cite a source that all six didn’t explode? If you can’t recognize how ridiculous that sounds then I don’t really know what to say. It’s kind of unfortunate because you’ve made some good points in the past but when you say something as stupid as that (plus the name calling), you come across as someone who is so enraged with bcl that you’ve lost the ability to think critically.
BCL102 is one of his trigger terms. Just read his post but imagine the autistic screeching memes and it's easier to read through.
Besides, I seem to recall he's never owned one? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm at a few thousand in mine. Granted not a ton, but it's the one rifle I take out every time I go shooting, and as I've said before, the only issues it's had are not chambering old reloads I had (I presume they were neck sized for my old rem700 from years back), and it didn't like certain types of ammo for accuracy. Namely the nato stuff and god I want to say south african? Travis Bickle would have to say, it was his stuff.
Sure it could be nicer, but when I bought it it's number 27 off the assembly line and it was the only real game in town, and I'm excited to see how it will shoot when I save up enough for an IBI barrel to put on it. It'll weigh 15 lbs but my torn up shoulder will appreciate it even more!

Good to hear you guys are having good luck with yours. My point is most dont quantify their statements of "mine works".
So for every person on here that says there 102 is #### there is 100 being shot and hunted with. People dont come on here and say oh my gun is great. Why?? Well everyone of you that are going to scoff at this post thats why. I used to get pissed but now i just laugh. Myself and meany others will continue to enjoy and shoot our bcl102 and you fine gentlemen can continue to slam anyone who likes there gun.
There is no hyperbole here, you are either not understanding me or what that word means. I thought they had a quicker start than 2011 given their founding date. Either way they sucked then, suck now and always will suck apparently. The ratio of problematic to functional guns would be embarrassing to any reputable manufacturer.
According to what source? I can account for two ####ty BCL myself.

You could have just said my name... no need to be passive-aggressive. ��
That’s a lot of words to say that you can’t prove that all six did not explode.
If you want to split hairs, I will correct myself: the problem WHICH HAS CAUSED THE BCL102 TO EXPLODE has been found in at least six rifles. Happy? In the future I will make sure to be very specific so as not to offend proud BCL owners. It’s only people’s faces and hands at stake, right?
Mine had the out of alignment and it caused it to KB. Sent all the force out the ejection port and mag well, blew my new steel ten round mag guts and floor plate into my lap. Cracked the plastic piece on top of spring in half. Scared #### out of me. What really troubles me is BCL inspection notice says out of alignment can happen with “normal use”. So do you have to inspect after every shot?
Happy for the countless guns that do work but beware the “normal use” inspection notice. I was lucky no injuries just property damage, $60 mag and nice safety glasses with burn marks in the plastic. ALWAYS wear safety glasses!!
Gun was destroyed of course and BCL gave me a new riffle.
