BCL MRX Bison !!!

I got some hands on 2 of them the other day.

The fit and finish is much better then the BLC102's i have seen.

It feels good, its very robust to say the least nothing flexes or rattles.

I was really impressed with the mag well design... they will be making a proprietary 20-30 round mag... that will have a bevel lip (that matches the bevel lip in the mag well) so it cannot be used in an AR15 mag platform other then the bizon... no swapping mag wells, slap either or in and its good to go.


Talking with someone whos friend works in the BCL facility... i guess they did a big operations manager change last year(ish) and they are all about QC now. full pendulum swing from how it used to be.


nowi just need to see them shoot lol

Anyone know.. If you put a folding adaptor on the 12.5”. Will an m4 stock close with the bolt handle there? And the larger more important question. Is it long enough to still be NR.
 
I was wondering if there was a follow up vid to your first vid.

BCL was very quick to fix the ejecting problem on my Bison and the Customer Service comms were outstanding.
Shipped my rifle on a Tuesday and received it back on the following Friday...with a free BCL coffee mug and fridge magnet :)
 
They do seem to have stellar customer service. I had sent a message that some cases weren't extracting. They sent me a new extractor kit that fixed the problem. Very easy swap. I haven't had a chance yet to get out to chase accuracy. It wasn't grouping very tight for me with cheap Winchester 5.56 (55 grain). I'm in the process of loading up some Hornady 75, Berger VLD 75, Hornady 55, and Campro 55 with Reloader 15 to see if I can get that 1.5 moa or better. I also found it doesn't feed reliably from some Crossmags I bought. The fit is sloppy and if you don't hold the mag up while closing the bolt, sometimes the rounds jam against the chamber. The P-mag it came with feeds ok though. I want to try a CPD LAR-15 mag, but would hate wasting more money if it turns out to be a bad fit too. I sure would like to see that new MRX mag they are supposed to be making.

*Edit: I fixed my Crossmags to feed perfect. I put a few wraps of some of that flex-wrap tape around the bottom half of the mag below the catch. It's that kind that just sticks to itself and comes in different colors. These mags now function perfect because it makes them fit nice and snug in the well with no more forward tilt. Another huge benefit to these Crossmags in the Bison is the bolt stop doesn't actually work so you can close the bolt on an empty mag like you should be able to with a bolt action. This means I can single feed with them in which is really nice for those long Berger bullets that I'm seating in the lands.

**Made it to the range with some reloads. I was getting consistent 1.5 inch groups at 100m with Hornady 75bthp and Reloder 15. Bipod/4X scope. I'm happy with that. I'm able to mark the center of the 6 inch gong repeatedly at 200 meters and that's probably as good as this guy is gonna shoot this rifle off a bipod.

Go for it... picked one up around mid-summer, no regrets. Still in the process of exterior decorations, I just can't find the stuff I need to complete the job.
 
My dream setup would be factory 9.5"-ish barrel with a 100% linear comp on 12.5 flat handguard that ends up flush from a profile view. *(with whatever minimum wranglings for NR i dont wanna do the math)
 
Sorry I'm kind of a noob but I see the 12.5 version listed as 223 and some stores listed as 556. Are they both the same rifle that can use both calibers?
