I have nothing against BCA but I'd argue that a base milspec-ish Anderson will be of better quality than an "upgraded" Bear Creek. If I were buying a base rifle for defense, I would trust the Anderson far more than the BCA. To me, BCA makes good range guns but I would not use them outside of that arena.
I don't disagree. but that is only one facet of the equation. IMO, if a buyer's primary concern is personal, and residential defense, they would be better served by investing in a reliable handgun or a tactical shotgun, or both. They are effective at close range, and their limited range presents less risk to neighbors and bystanders than high velocity 5.56 rounds.
I think most new AR buyers are far more motivated and focused on the enjoyment of recreational shooting, and hunting than they are on the defensive capability of their purchase. When this is the case, I feel that upgraded models fulfill their desires better than a bare-bone M4 clone. I've always enjoyed reading your comments, and I hope you have a good day.
From that standpoint I do agree. And also I feel a AR is a bad option for HD if you are in a populated area. Plus going deaf and blind shooting an AR in a hallway is not ideal when your life might be on the line.
I'd lean towards a PCC over a pistol but those two platforms overlap quite a bit so that may have been where you are going. Nothing trumps a shotgun's effectiveness or stopping power but their capacity is too low (for me) to consider them for a primary defense weapon. One shell will do the job though....
Have a great day as well!
Edit: Oh and speaking of BCA, I don't understand how they can make complete uppers with BCG's and CH's so cheap. Many you can get for under $200 on sale plus their coupons and military discount tend to stack. I only have one of their uppers, a side charging 10.5" 5.56 but it is rock solid and looks good. Paid $190 OTD for it.
This or windham weaponry? anyone?
This company is pumping out some good stuff at good prices.
Bought this yesterday at 9am central time. Should be at my FFl tomorrow sometime. I’m very excited this being my first at-15. Sig Romeo 5 from smkw is also arriving tomorrow. It’s gonna be a good day.
Its called "inventory" my friend....not every gun shop, especially online carries a whole 10 rifles to sell. I'm sure KYgunCo. Orders directly from the manufacturer and never touched the actual rifle. Look up the term "dropship"....SMH. Even if they do keep inventory in store, Andersen turns out tens of thousands of rifles a year if not more....
Actually I've bought 4-5 guns from KCG and every one has shipped from one of their B&M location. Now I am sure they are buying these rifles in lots of 10-20 PALLETS at a time for volume discounts, and getting a rebate from the mfg when they hit certain quarterly numbers. Now, there are plenty of drop ship gun sellers out there who are happy to make $10 just for keeping a FFL record on file and cutting a purchase order to a vendor.
Yep a good deal. Only problem I got so many AR's not sure I could make room for another. Several are unfired.
This item has been posted a couple of weeks ago and is still available. The price seems fair for the quality you get. Everybody comments on how good of a deal this is. Why is this item still available? Why didn't it fly off the proverbial virtual shelves? Do other buyers know something about this item that we, regular gun enthusiasts, don't?
Prices are down on AR’s. People bought many last year and sells have slowed. And who knows, KY Gun Co may of had 500 in stock.
This is a very good deal for an excellent entry level or budget AR-15 rifle. You cannot go wrong with Anderson AR rifles and pistols. They simply just work, and work well! Very reliable, easy to shoot, decent off the shelf triggers, and are acceptably accurate out if the box. They are a solid platform for customization and personalization. One can buy these at a lower cost then are able to buy what you like and prefer to make them the perfect fit to your liking. I have owned many Anderson AR's and used plenty of their parts and always been happy with them.
PS this is my personal opinion and experience. You are certainly allowed your own and I will respect that, I simply ask you do the same. Good day!
I stopped by KY Gun Co last week and looked at one. Ended up walking out with this deal. Put 100 or so rounds through it over the weekend from several different mags. Works as it should.
Yeah, I researched it after saying that and I could find no proof either, thanks for the heads up!
Still. Best deal I have see in at least the last year!
Smoking deal on a very decent entry level rifle.
Definitely a great deal! Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the rifle went for before covid, or is this their new military contract version. It looks nicer than most Anderson’s I have seen
I've seen this rifle for about $400 pre-COVID but only shipped with a single mag. Would have been a SLIGHTLY better deal but with inflation might be neck and neck.
My friend bought one and arrived after only 3 days. He came over to my house Tuesday and I showed him out to clean, operate, and shoot. 200+ rounds and zero failures.
Like someone else stated; highly doubt this has anything to do with a military version they might also be producing.
And no “military” gun is going to have that style gas block. This is as entry-level as it gets.
I paid $550 for mine before COVID and I didn’t get all the extra mags
Anderson has military contracts?
This is an actual deal regardless!
Someone told me that a guy at sportsman’s was saying they got a contract with their AR’s after colt sold to CZ but I have not fact checked
Sounds like another ignoramus at the store. FN has the contract for M4s.
Colt won a contract along with FN a few years back, too, prior to being sold to CZ.
I’ve not heard anything about Anderson winning any government contracts, but that doesn’t mean much. Do research and let us know if that comment has any merit. Otherwise, I’d say the proof is up to the person at Sportsman’s.
Not everything on the internet is true.
Did some digging.. Colt Defense lost its US sales M4 contract about 6 years ago and promptly declared bankruptcy. Since then they have secured contracts to produce the M4 and M16A4 for foreign militaries. I did not see where Anderson has a military contract.
Anderson has a contract with the Pentagon.
What is the contract for? Complete rifles? Parts? Or what? Do you have a web link to share that mentions the contract?
I saw it listed on defense.gov in the newsroom section. This was several months ago. I didn’t read the article but they did in fact list Anderson for a contract. I do not know if it was complete rifles or just parts.
Thanks. I was able to find a web page showing that Anderson Manufacturing was awarded 5 different federal contracts for barrels, uppers and upper components/parts. These contracts began and ended in 2014 and 2015. I can't say they haven't been awarded any other federal contracts since then, but I haven't found documentation of it. If you run across the article again, please share it.

Not sure if it's relevant or not, but a different company that goes by the similar name of "Anderson Machine Manufacturing Company, Inc." lists the US Department of Defense as one of the industries they serve.
https://www.andersonmachine.com/company...
They are shown to be a government contractor with "Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing" listed as one of the products & services they provide.

Thanks again.
$349.99 Shipped. Currently BCA is offering an AR with many highly desirable upgrades at a great price. These upgrades include a free float barrel, mid-length gas system, 15" M-Lok handguard, their enhanced side charging Gen 2 upper receiver, and Life-Time warranty. https://www.bearcreekarsenal.com/calibers/5-56-nato/5-56-rifles/5-56-nato-16-nitride-m4-barrel-1-7-twist-midlength-15-mlok-side-charging-nrail-rifle.html...
These Anderson ARs are solid rifles, but can quickly become "Money Pits" to upgrade.
