Sanford, NC –Bear Creek Arsenal®, an industry leader in AR-style rifles and components, announces the release of their .45 ACP and 10mm pistol caliber carbines. Shooters can now enjoy the high stopping power of .45 ACP and 10mm with carbine ease of use and capacity.

Bear Creek Arsenal’s® .45 ACP PCC is built on an all-new “AR-45” platform that accepts GLOCK 21 style magazines. Featuring the known and loved AR-15 controls with additional upgrades such as a flared magwell and Bear Creek Arsenal’s® Gen-2 side charging handle, the Bear Creek Arsenal® .45 ACP carbine is a game changer in terms of performance and price.

10mm is known and loved for its high stopping power, but its heavy recoil and lower capacity can scare away many shooters. Bear Creek Arsenal’s® 10mm carbine solves these issues with an 8 oz buffer to soften recoil and compatibility with GLOCK 20 style 30-round magazines. Like Bear Creek Arsenal’s® .45 ACP pistol caliber carbine, the 10mm PCC is set on a new “AR-10MM” platform and features a Gen-2 side charging handle.

Bear Creek Arsenal’s® .45 ACP carbines will come in 7.5”, 10.5”, and 16” configurations and 10mm carbines will have 10.5” and 16” barrels initially, with more options to come! Both PCCs are suppressor ready allowing the user an ultra-quiet experience with subsonic ammo.

Whether protecting your family, shooting competitively, or plinking targets at the range, the Bear Creek Arsenal® .45 ACP and 10mm pistol caliber carbines are accurate, durable, and reliable additions to your collection.
 
I have a 7.62x39 upper from them that runs pretty well, but I also know things are often cheap for reasons. Still, been looking for a 10mm carbine, may have to look into theirs.
 
I had a BCA AR-10 and it wouldn’t run for 💩….
Put in a decent BCG and it ran like a buttfu**ed Bobcat….
I have a BCA AR10 BCG. So many toolling marks it looks like it was machined by a robot beaver with crooked teeth.

I bought a new BCG from "another" company and put the BCA BCG in the junk parts drawer...
 
The one thing I’ve heard about their customer service is that they might not get it right the first time but if you send it back they’re easy to work with and will eventually get you a working gun. I can’t corroborate that as I haven’t had to send anything back but if I’m looking at possibly purchasing the first generation of their 10mm carbine that may become a concern. Has anyone dealt with their warranty policies? Any good or bad experiences?
 

At least they made the magwell size fit the mag, not like the 9mm ARs where the mag looks like a twig in the magwell.
 
So I did not write that statement. It's PR.

But, you do not know who they are a OEM for. Fyi


Yeah, that last part would surprise a lot of people.

Pro tip - observe how BCA engraves their barrel markings, then look for that same style engraving on other companies’ barrels.

Please name names so I can hate on companies I’ve never tried or had experience with 😂
 


Also, don't they know that when you launch a product you're supposed to time it with a whole bunch of YouTubers releasing a video fondling the balls of the hand tuned pre release you sent them honestly reviewing your product?
 
Apparently Foxtrot Mike kicked the Bear Creek dude out of their booth at Shot Show, with a whole lot of F bombs involved. Would have loved to lol at that. Bear Creek needs to just throw in the towel at this point.

While it is a small industry in lots of ways. It doesn't matter as much who is making what for whom, but what specs and tolerances the contract calls for. What is their rejection rate
