Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Bear Creek Arsenal bufferless 9mm PCC unique?

The Bear Creek Arsenal bufferless 9mm PCC is unique because it eliminates the traditional AR-15 buffer tube and spring system. Instead, it uses an internal recoil assembly housed within a rear aluminum cap, allowing for more compact designs and the use of folding stock adapters.

How reliable is the Bear Creek Arsenal bufferless 9mm PCC?
