[ARCHIVED THREAD] - These two uppers seem....Familiar (Page 1 of 4)
|
I can grab any stripped upper and a random barrel. Pair that with the Midwest rail.
And it would look like that. Now.. your point? Are you trying to compare brands? How bout QC, Higher standards, and known for more reliability. Which one do you think I'm talking about. |

I do believe that BCM offers a unique bolt carrier group, I.e. Not what many others vendors relabel as their own. That's having been said, I'm waiting for the day somebody finally spills the beans and reveals who makes whose barrels and BCG's NO BCG with either upper |
|
Not to mention, you linked the psa upper to their freedom line. Isn't that a step above ptac?
Are those particular barrels even made by FN? Didn't see it. I know they're premium line is. With that being said, if the uppers are about the same, why does psa have 3 different AR lines? |

It's an off the shelf rail so I don't really understand why this is noteworthy. Two companies decide to use said off the shelf rail on an upper with a barrel of similar length and it's supposed to imply something? Neither of them make any of the parts themselves as far as I know. I mean BCM's pricing is laughable for that upper, but I don't understand what the big deal is. Is it that BCM is woefully overpriced or that one retailer is copying the other? |

Say what you will but ive never had a problem with PSA or any of their products. That's is due to the fact the are made by FN. Ever wonder why PSA sells so many Blems? Buddy just got one in a month ago (blem upper) it's marked M4 at the front of the upper. . FN sells the blems of the government contracted M4's to PSA. |

There is a ton of over priced stuff in the AR market .... a lot of manufacturers should be ashamed of themselves.
Not siding w PSA ... their customer service sucks and ill never go there again but I also never buy from places that obviously over charge. And the biggest rip off I see from everyone is shipping |

I'm not knocking psa. I have uppers from them and BCM. But, the only thing OP knows for a fact the two uppers have in common, is a rail. That's real retarded, sir. Well.. Retarded, No . .. same forge, 7075 Aluminum, anodizing, A2 Flash hider. That leaves the barrel? Who makes BCM barrels

Not likely since it isn't true. Do you have first hand experience since your in SC? No Sarcasm here, I'm interested. I'm not bagging on BCM, GREAT company for sure! I'm just questioning and comparing two comparable uppers and seeing a smoking deal on PSA, and I'm not a PSA Homer. I have 1 PSA only. I predominately run my LMT, Mega, Stag, and Colt . I'm just shopping around for a best bang for the buck upper for a friend. |

snip Why make claims if you have no proof? The pictured upper isn't even psa premium So to recap, on the BCM, you get better parts, better quality control, better customer service, and faster shipping. You can add a bcm ch and bcg for $70 (find me a cheaper price) plus a free mod 0 comp Sounds like $400 well spent to me |

True, sell it for $100 and now you would have $500 for a Krieger match barrel and STILL have $120 left

PSA. Worse comes to worst, you could sell the barrel and still come out ahead True, sell it for $100 and now you would have $500 for a Krieger match barrel and STILL have $120 left
Bingo. I built my 12.5" upper for the same money as the BCM and it's got a Noveske barrel and that same MI rail. And that included the BCG |
| I'm all for a good deal, but something doesn't seem right with that PSA upper. The rail alone is $200, so the upper, stainless barrel, gas tube, gas block, crush washer, and A2 are only $129? I know PSA doesn't pay full price for the MI rail but you can see the point I'm trying to make. I have no qualms with PSA, though I currently do not own any of their AR parts. |

I'm happy with my PSA premium and freedom uppers |

Quoted:
There was a lengthy thread in the AR Discussion forum about who makes the CHF barrels for which brands. It was pretty exhaustive. Let me see if I can find a link. I read through it. CHF is FN and Freedom is thought to be Wilson. Question is who makes BCM's CHF barrels since I think there are very few (5 perhaps) machines due to the expense. ETA wrong thread I read. I'm interested to see it if you can find it. |
