Bear Creak Arsenal Side Charging AR-10 Upper Receiver - Fluted Barrel, Mlock, Soft Shooting .308
This review of the Bear Creek Arsenal side-charging AR-10 upper receiver highlights its value proposition for its price point. The 20-inch fluted 416R stainless steel barrel in .308 Win, with a 1:10 twist, offers good accuracy, achieving sub-1.5-inch groups with 168gr Sierra Match Kings and around 2 inches with Wolf 145gr. The rifle-length gas system contributes to a soft recoil impulse, making it a pleasant shooter even without a muzzle brake. The MLOK handguard features an improved mounting system with locking tabs for rigidity. While the side-charging upper receiver is noted as being heavy and bulky, the overall package provides a reliable and functional platform for various shooting applications.
