Bear Creek Arsenal

Bear Creek Arsenal makes AR-15 and AR-10 upper and lower receivers sold nationwide. They're known for competitive pricing on stripped uppers, complete uppers, and lower receivers – the kind of parts builders grab when they're assembling custom rifles without paying premium prices.

BCA specializes in:

• •Stripped upper receivers (AR-15 and AR-10)
• •Complete upper assemblies (frequently on sale)
• •Lower receivers
• •AR-10 uppers (larger caliber platform)

They run regular sales on their product lineup and maintain an email notification system for out-of-stock items.

Bear Creek accepts phone orders and online orders. They implement fraud prevention procedures when orders ship to addresses different from the billing address on your credit card – this is standard in the firearms industry but worth knowing upfront. Their processing is typically quick when no fraud flags occur. Refunds are issued within 3-5 business days if an order is cancelled.

Users report that BCA's low pricing reflects their manufacturing approach. Some builders have found loose barrel nuts and inconsistent staking on bolt carrier groups, which means inspecting assemblies before use is standard practice. This is why many customers buy BCA uppers for the price point, then upgrade barrels or other components to their specs.

BCA competes directly with PSA (Palmetto State Armory), Anderson Manufacturing, Davidson's Defense, and Delta Team Tactical on price. Their value proposition is straightforward: you get functional AR parts at lower cost than premium builders. They're small enough that credit card fraud losses actually hurt their margins – unlike larger manufacturers who can absorb losses and raise prices across the board.

Their most-ordered items are complete uppers during sales and stripped uppers for custom builds. The "inform me when in stock" feature helps track popular items, though customers report it works better for some SKUs than others.

If you're building an AR and want to keep costs down on the upper/lower, BCA is a known option in the builder community – just expect to inspect assemblies when they arrive.
