BCL 102 Review!!

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for all the comments! We enjoy getting these videos out for you, and I'll make sure to remind Steven about his prone position!

Thanks

Some of the Ex Com Bloc bullets makers PPU and Russ have been using bullet tips that were designed for the 7.62x54 in newly made 308 ammo,
I pulled each brand I bought to confirm , they have a hollow cone in the base this was done so even if the russian rifles had shot out or different bore sizes the gas
would seal the bore, It would have been interesting to see you shoot the Austrian ball or Fed ball 147gr, Just a heads up Chez.
ball ammo in 308 (yes they make it) and the Chez 7.62x54 use a boat tail bullet like American and Canadian IVI ammo.
Next go to the range can you try the Austrian Ball ammo or Fed Mil Spec, I think your groups would improve, if any one else
has tried the Austrian ball , please let me know how it shoots, or the Fed Ball, before I buy ammo in greater batches knowing
the grouping would be a big help. Has any one shot Norinco ammo in these rifles?
thanks Shooting edge for the great vid,

I too am really interested to see how this rifle handles Hirtenberger ammo.
 
The groups with the PPU at 200 meters was twice as tight as the group with PPU at 100 meters? what happened there?
Honest to god for cheap ass ammunition, I would be pretty damned happy with that group at 200 meters out of a semi auto shooting off a bipod (aside from shooting high obviously because it was sighted in with a heavier projo).

Looks really attractive.
Really makes me hate the rules we have to abide by here in Canada more, though. You can take a Ar102 wherever you want but your restricted to take basically the same rifle, that shoots a way smaller bullet(ar15), only to a range.

Good morning,

Some times ammo settles in at longer ranges, while staying loose at shorter ones. The .303 British is anecdotally known to be one of those rounds, at least when it was the standard round for British military use.

wouldn't mind seeing a barrel swap video..:sniper:

uses standard Armalite threaded for the hand gurad, should use standard Armalite barrel extenstion

Good morning,

I don't have any information about that unfortunately. I will see if I can find anything out from the Distributor or Manufacturer.

Thanks

If I were to guess it's because when he switched to the PPU at 200 he stopped using the ammo boxes as a rear bag and actually got behind the gun.
 
It can also be he was just warming up. If I haven't shot a rifle for a long time I need a few warm up rounds to get back into my groove.
 
I would say with a 1-10 twist, this rifle is most likely going to shoot that FED premium 168 the best. Id like to see it shot from a bench with a high quality trigger at 200 and 300 yards. I have a feeling the results will be much better.

Not the greatest, but decent review ...

What do we think the availability of replacement barrels will be ? even aftermarket for that matter ... id like to see how far a shop could take this platform. It will only be a matter of time IMO

Not uncommon at all. Although 100 yards seems to be the benchmark for accuracy testing and can be correct a high percentage of the time personal experience has shown me a few times where 100 yard results don't translate further down range. Some projectiles have not yet fully stabilized by the time they reach 100 yards.
For me to get a true idea of the accuracy of any given rifle/ammo/my shooting ability combination, I always do a couple warm up group at 100 yards until I have a feel for things then I move to my 200 yard target for my final accuracy analysis and sight in's.
I think the standard for 100 yard testing is because shooter error is less evident, thus becoming less of a factor in the accuracy results. Just my two cents worth.

The groups at 200 were tighter with PPU probably by pure luck.

Guns are not known to get more accurate with distance...

Although, I am sure we all "that buddy" whose gun shoots 1 inch groups all the way from 100M to 500M.
