Please bring a 308 one I already got one of ur 20 inch side chargers and my single complain is it fits dirty fast. All gas guns are like that but this would bless in 308 ar10 platform
So can you run it without a buffer tube. You can put a wooden stock on it it's fishing driven AR is perfect totally just build a lower for it make a scar
Make it in a 7.62x39 with a 18 inch barrel!!! I have the 7.62x39 in 16 inch and its awesome. A pistoned 18 inch, side charger would be incredible. Keep on keeping on fellas. BCA rocks!
Good to see you guys coming out with the GPx. I recently received my new G2 5.56 side charger and can't wait to finish that build. I'm sure I'll be back for more at some point. Thanks for keeping things affordable!
It's nice to see innovation from the industry! Good job Bear Creek! Please do 300 BLK gas piston next. That load makes the bolt very dirty with silencer. It would make sense to buy it in GPX.
Have been waiting eagerly for this. A little shocked at the price point, honestly. It's understandable that their biggest in-house engineering venture might be seen as a warranty exposure. Maybe this time next year everything will line out and they will bring pricing closer to the BCA world. Seems like a 300 Blackout natural fit. Maybe by then. An adjustable-gas 10.5 inch 300 Blackout piston upper for $375 would be a world-beater.
@@joecentral-o9984 Maybe you are right. But consider that SKU 566N-UASCH556CM41617P-15M3 is the DI exact same upper. It is $249. The GPX adds: much more intricate gas block, piston & rod, knob on the bcg were the gas key was. Loses: gas tube, gas key, gas-related bolt internals (passages, seals, etc). So the bolt/bcg have to be cheaper to make. You are left with the gas block and piston/rod for $250. Nope. Once they recover engineering costs, production cost difference can't be much beyond $60. So let's say bump that to $100 for margin and add $25 for cool/exclusivity/beer fund. That's $375. And that's a BCA price. $500 is not a BCA price and it doesn't fit the brand or fit the brand's image, fair or not.
@@joecentral-o9984 it isn't 500 shipped lmao. Besides, that isn't cheap, and definitely outside of BCA's wheelhouse as far as price. If you are paying more for their upper than some guns cost, you're spending your money badly.
I came for these comments. For BCA the price is too high. If a company with good QC released one at this price like BCM Geissele or even Aero the website would have crashed with all of the people buying one. Hell if it was PSA it would be almost a go but I’ll wait the prices out. I see a steep 4th of July sale in their future.
Each BCA I've purchased w/ exception of the .458 SOCOM, I have either turned into or built with Pistons. Including the 7" I purchased as an complete upper. That little 7" is the most fun you can burn money with and that was Before I turned it into a piston. Piston driven is the 'only' way for me. Appears the piston in the shorter barrels runs the weapon a little better. Rock on BCA.
@@PeterParker-hw5rv It's as much fun running it at night dark...especially since I run it suppressed. Great reason to have have converted it to piston.
@@Erik-pv2sr Superlative Arms & Adams Arms. I have multiples of both.Make sure you get the correct gas block diameter for the barrel diameter. Example: .750. For .308 nobody is making a kit. You can only get just an adjustable gas block. I have one on a .308 which works well and I have Primary Weapons Systems .308's - but they're not cheap and doesn't look like they're making them in .308 anymore. On the .223/5.56 end, BCA converted is as good as PWS's. PWS is just using Heavy Barrels. Sorry PWS. Love you're product. You've got thousands of my $'s. Pissed you've bailed on .308's - jerks. Still buying buffer tube systems from you though. They to me are the best. A Springfield M1A is in my near future. Take that PWS.
Awesome. And I am happy to see the company moving forward, again, to keep up with the AR market. I don't have a gas piston gun, but have read about their advantages.
5:39 The charging handle on the BCG needing tools to be disassembled from the upper is a bit disappointing. If I may make a suggestion to anyone from Bear Creek who may read this, take a look at the South Korean K2C rifle. Heavily inspired by the AR, AK, and FAL. The upper separates from the lower in almost the same fashion as an AR, and the side changing handle doesn’t require tools to separate from the BCG, which looks like an AR BCG. Just a suggestion.
RUclips commandos will complain about everything. I say great job on a new product. I look forward to seeing how well this does, and future others like it.
I can wait on that one. Even though i think i have enough ar's.at the moment.i still have one to finish but i cant find 7.62x39 mags.so i am in no hurry.
Great simple info. I have purchased 4 AR15 UPPER from BCA in the past 10 months ,.50 Beowulf,7.62 ,6.5 grendel,.22 magnum. The only thing I would like to see is a GPX IN FDE.IF that's something you can do for me I'll buy it now of course in .556
Can we run it bufferless??? Cuz if so you guys changing the game again and again 2023 with the 270 and 30 ought 6 now this thing God I love Bear Creek arsenal
Just received. Looks great. Much cleaner looking than many other brands. I think an 18 or 20 inch option as well as a .308 would do great. Oh and CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE.
Only reliability if you don't clean it if you drop it in the dirt it won't perform well people have done test with AK-47 that is a piston system the reason why the AR-15 work so well is because of the gassing system and how it works it blew all the dirt out of the upper and lower receiver first round they fired and it ran flawlessly
Any chance a regular charging handle one available soon I was pumped until I seen only side charging so now I'm Gunnar have to wait longer still smh almost bought it immediately but still Gunnar wait
History of match shooting tells us yes, just a bit. Only a practical concern for those shooting at 1k on a range though. Lots US Military SPR's are piston driven, and perform well at 600+ 👊🏼🇺🇲👊🏼
I was building a fde gun and finished my lower and i had to order this gpx upper. Its going to look weird but cant wait to shoot it with my geisselle ssa-e trigger

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm next to positive that you just took a Superlative piston system and drilled a shit ton of holes into it. Then you did the exact same with an Adams Arms bolt carrier.... Should we expect upper receivers with holes in them also?
@@Bear_Creek_Arsenal Good luck patenting that.... Pretty sure that Superlative is going to have a lot to say about it. Unless of course the SIX set screws was only to change it just enough.
Ok Lamar let's see if you can renew my faith in you guys . I've ordered some great products from your company over the years but the last 2 orders , one an upper and one a full rifle , were both under gassed and basic QC would have caught this . Obviously shouldn't have this issue with a piston system unless something is damaged . I really want your company to do well and thrive so if you can offer a quality piston upper at competitive cost then I'm game and will sing your praises till the cows come home . I'll be ordering one in 223 wyld and hopefully either 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor when available.

This is fantastic. Im very interested to see where this goes. Currently saving up to get one of these uppers. $500 for complete upper is cheap compared to competitors ($800+). I do wish this was better integrated with the rail so that we don't have to remove the rail to adjust the gas..... or make the know for the gas easy to adjust through the mlok slots.

so do you burn your forehand from the gas ejecting in the foregrip, or will there be a shield that blocks that?
