    See my post above. The Troy 102 isn't modeled after his generation of the BCL. His comparison is completely irrelevant

    You have a picture of the opposite side of the Gen 1 NEA/BCL 102?

    JR, please clarify your statements as made in your threads. When did this change

    Thankyou

    The lower is clearly 99% the same. The bottom of the upper is cut a little different from the bolt catch forward. Looks like Troy just cleaned it up a bit to simplify machining. Pretty easy to see that the Troy is based on the Gen 1, thankfully.

    I’m interested in hearing about the rifle and reviews when they become available.

    I really don’t give a schiat about an in depth investigation into what a retailer may have said months ago. The rifle is either good or it’s not.

    I'm reading the BCL stuff, I thought it was NEA that as it's own separate company provided the plans to Troy? I swear I read that somewhere.

    Yep, that is much closer. Still some noticeable differences, but easier to believe that the Troy would have been modeled after the gen 1 than the gen 2 BCL.

    Not really, IMHO, as the BCL Gen1, Gen2 and the Troy 102 all share the same (or very similar) FRT, which I was lead to believe, was the topic under (contentious) discussion.
    If my assumption is not correct, then I apologize in advance.

    In the sense that they all share the same basic FRT you would be correct. And I think that's what has caused some of the confusion for some people and lead to this discussion.

    Both BCL and Troy have obviously made some cosmetic changes since the original FRT which is what I got caught up in comparing (or trying to find which two share the most similarities).

    No need to apologize to some random internet guy who may just as well have made the wrong assumption as to what the main topic of discussion was. It's all good
