I'm trying to show how much/if any interest the there is in the 7.62x39 caliber rifle that BCL is yet to produce. I have emailed them and they said its not on the radar yet despite being advertised on their website. I really want one. I've held the .223 model but want to hold out for the 7.62x39 and I think others are holding out as well. Simple poll If Available will you buy one today (Yes/Soon)
 
Ya shorter barrel and folding stock
I have the bison and the barrel is short enough already
Not sure the point of the folding stock as the thing is compact enough as is

Is it though? They felt pretty well made to me and will serve the exact purpose that i want one for. what is it that you don't like about them. i've only heard there were some ejection issues in the early days and some don't like their accuracy but other than that i have not heard anything. what can you add?

hmmm.... let's see.

Replaced barrel under warranty - sent back to BCL. Still shot ho hum. 4-5 moa is around average for this rifle (16.5" Bison in .223).
Went through no less than 3 bolt stops and two extractors before BCL just sent me a bag of parts with multiples of each.
Won't feed from Stanag mags worth sh!t.
Weirdly styled chassis with an enormous and pointless flared magwell.

The only shining lights are the OEM Bison mags that feed and function 100%, and the trigger tech trigger.

Still - if I could get it to shoot, I'd like it warts and all.
Last I checked it would run me ~600$ for IBI to spin a new barrel on, and then shipping on top of that. Not yet really willing to sink good money after bad.

I could sell it at an astounding loss or I could let it languish in the back of the safe. I've chosen the later.
Too lazy to list it, not overly fond of putting more time and money into it to take a bath, and don't really care to pass this debacle onto someone else.

A good concept overall taken to 80%, it's under cooked and poorly executed.
If BCL could just manage to stay committed to finishing something properly and nail down their QC, they'd be smashing them out of the ballpark.

jeeze thats awful to go through. well my friend just got the mrx bronco in 308 so im excited to try it out soon. Those are some serious concerns though
 
I want them to justify the price difference between models. If barrel, rail and chassis length are the only differences I'm going to need to wait a while for the price to make sense over the longest model. the cool factor of the shortest one doesnt justify approaching doubling the cost of the longer ones floating out since late last year.
 
Im pretty gun shy......went thru pure hell with the ARs they were bangin out previously....

And not getting a warm/fuzzy on these bolt guns so far


I Want them to succeed ...I very much dig supporting a CDN company...and luv the concept of an uber compact short barreled 762 rusky blaster
