This video reviews the Palmetto State Armory (PSA) 10.5-inch upper assembly, highlighting its exceptional value for under $400 (without BCG/charging handle) or under $500 (complete). The instructor praises its robust construction, featuring a pinned Guesley gas block, Guesley rail system with anti-rotation tabs, and a PSA 4150 chromoly vanadium barrel with a 1:8 twist. It demonstrated 100% reliability with various ammunition types and suppressor use.
This video provides a first look at the Bear Creek Arsenal (BCA) GPx Piston Upper, potentially the most affordable piston AR upper on the market. The review highlights its similarities to Superlative Arms components, particularly the BCG and adjustable gas block. Initial shooting impressions indicate it functions well, though adjustment requires removing the handguard, and light primer strikes were observed with certain steel-cased ammunition.
This review of the Bear Creek Arsenal 7.62x39 AR-15 (AR47) 10.5" pistol upper highlights its budget-friendly nature and surprising accuracy, capable of sub-MOA groups with quality ammunition. However, it also addresses a significant reliability concern: the extractor shearing off around 700 rounds, a common issue with 7.62x39 bolts in AR-15 platforms due to reduced material. The reviewer suggests this upper is best suited for range or testing purposes rather than critical self-defense roles.
