Bear Creek .22 Upper!

This review of the Palmetto State Armory Olcan bullpup chassis, designed to accept AR-compatible uppers like the Jackal, highlights significant design compromises. The reviewer, identifying as an expert on bullpups, details issues inherent to chassis systems, such as optic mounting challenges due to raised comb height and the need for specific optic riser heights (around 1.93"). Specific criticisms are leveled at the Olcan and Jackal combination, including a poor trigger, weight inefficiency, and severe gassing issues, particularly when suppressed, making it one of the most unpleasant firearms the reviewer has shot. The review suggests the product feels unfinished, with potential improvements like a longer handguard or a dedicated 16-inch barrel Jackal upper being unlikely.

This video presents a ballistic gel test of Winchester 200gr Subsonic 300 Blackout ammunition, evaluating its performance in terms of expansion, penetration, and wound cavity creation. The test reveals inconsistent results, with one shot showing significant expansion and jacket separation, while others exhibited minimal expansion and relied on tumbling for damage. The presenter questions the suitability of standard subsonic 300 Blackout rounds for home defense due to their inconsistent terminal ballistics.

This video reviews the Bear Creek Arsenal (BCA) .22 WMR (22 Magnum) upper receiver, highlighting its features like the side charger, 16-inch barrel with a 1-in-16 twist, and compatibility with standard AR-15 lowers. The reviewer experiences initial feeding issues and a ruptured case, which they suspect might be ammunition-related or a break-in period. Despite some malfunctions, the review progresses to accuracy testing at 100 and 200 yards, demonstrating potential for tighter groups with a magnified optic compared to a red dot.

This review of the Bear Creek Arsenal .22 WMR upper receiver on a Palmetto State lower highlights initial reliability challenges attributed to using a rifle-length buffer spring with a carbine-length buffer. Despite these issues, the reviewer found the setup to be fun to shoot, with decent accuracy at 25 yards after sighting in. The .22 WMR cartridge is noted for its increased power over .22 LR but at a higher cost, though still cheaper than centerfire rifle rounds.

This review of the Bear Creek Arsenal BC-15 7.5" 5.56 AR Pistol highlights its updated MLOK handguard and comfortable ergonomics. The reviewer found it surprisingly accurate for its short barrel length, achieving just over a 1-inch group at 50 yards despite using a cheap red dot and having astigmatism. While initial reliability was excellent, a bolt carrier group issue requiring warranty service was encountered around the 200-round mark.
