Interesting, Everything I've read and watched on You Tube were positive for the later versions of the BCL 102, however there were a few complaints about the earlier models. It was also mentioned that the BCL 102 is a basic AR10 style rifle and is made to be upgraded. The funny thing here is I just bought my BCL 102 from SFRC last week and then the new Troy rifle comes out this week, It figures. I just hope the BCL 102 lives up to all the good things I read about it. The one thing I will say is, so far I'm not impressed with the BCL customer service and I figure if they don't pull up their britches , they're going to go the way of NEA. Good luck with your new Troy....
I have the gen 2 BCL102. besides a couple cosmetic blemishes from the factory, it has been 100% reliable and good accuracy. I've mostly shot Norinco surplus 7.62x51 and I'm getting 1.5-2 MOA consistently with that ammo. I have also shot Federal blue box hunting ammo in both 150 grain and 180 grain with results closer to 1.25-1.5 MOA. Rifle is stock with just a Geissele trigger and Magpul stock and pistol grip. I was planning on upgrading to lighter parts (BCG,Barrel, Hand guard) to lighten up the rifle for hunting but decided against it because the rifle runs so well. Still contemplating buying Stag stripped upper and lower to build a light weight AR10 or maybe Troy if they decide to offer stripped uppers and lowers. I would really like to get a gen1 (original) BCL102 stipped upper and lower if possible.
