wait.... so since you are handling BCL does that mean you will be doing all the warranty work for them now? because if so that may be a game changer...

I had some issues with BCL, Srnm. Ron, the shiny new BCL service guy, was excellent and got me sorted out in 7 days, as opposed to the previous 8 months of waiting.

I used a BCL-102 for deer in the fall. Loved it, will hunt with again. The only issue I ran into was the aluminum forearm being damned cold.

Cool!

Are you guys distributing all BCL products now?

 

[RAConnol]

Well given the SN above, BCL has sold +1400 rifles since then made mine.
And mine is a keeper.

BTW cold aluminum covered.

Nice rig! The metal cold was my lack of forethought. Luckily I had a share shemagh with me, which was pressed into service.

You will get better service! Lol

I’ve read that the newest 102’s have fixed the recent ejection issues, is that the case and are there any other changes to the design?

That's correct. BCL was shutdown for 8 weeks and they identified the issue mainly on faulty gas rings that were unable to provide a good seal.

The current production BCL-102 coming through us have no ejection issues.

 

[KaneZoR]

Good to hear and thanks for the reply.

Is there a way to identify the latest version when shopping at a dealer? Serial number range or other markings?

 

[Canada tail]

Same question how to tell the difference?

 

[xdmer]

^ very good questions, add me to that list wanting to know please.

 

[KaneZoR]

Any word on how to tell the latest gen apart from rest?

 

[hawk-i]

Should I upgrade my extractor on my gen ll even though I haven't had any ejection issues?

 

[RAConnol]

I have the same question. What I did do is pull out the extractor and gave it a good inspection.
Apparently, the issue with the problem extractors is in the heat treatment which would cause the metal to be too soft and as such deform.
I found no deformity in my extractor and all the lines and edges look crisp and sharp after 700 rounds.

I will upgrade as soon as it shows any wear and/or I have any ejection issues.

Any word on how to identify the differences between previous and the newest (gen3?) version?

 

[alpha niner]

so how do we tell the difference from gen 1 and 2?

 

[North_Sylva]

All shipments that came from us are the latest version. There is no way to tell any difference visually.


If your previous generation BCL is experiencing FTE, you can reach out to them via their website for a tune-up kit covered under warranty.

Got mine a few months ago and after putting in the tune up kit and making sure it’s well lubricated it runs perfectly. I love this rifle. I just ordered a Remington 700 .308 w/16 1/2 inch barrel to give me best of both worlds.
