Description
Market is oversaturated with cheap AR parts and we all forgot how was hard to get a good BCG at 2008. So I understand it might not look as a deal.
This one is cheap but seems to be built right.
Purchased one for a backup I did not shot it yet.
Headspaced it with my 223/5.56 pistol barrel and it has passed (.223-nogo - did not lock, 5.56-nogo -did not lock, 223/5.56 go - locked).
No machining marks, good finish. Visually almost perfect product. Surprisingly for this price.
Unlike other retailers - no tax, no shipping. You pay what you see.

My first order came in 4 days. I then made 2 orders a day later, but they took over a week to ship. I wanted to make one more purchase but wasn't going to until I got my other 2 orders. Unfortunately the sale ended a day after I got my items. Happy with items and for sure pricing .... shipping lead times need a lot of work though! Will have to get the remaining items someplace else as they aren't competitive without the free shipping or 25% off.
I ordered a barrel and handguard took 8 days to get and I live 4 hours from the place! Barrel looks okay, handguard looks horrible finish painted on in many places or touched up with a sharpie. My first and last order with Combat armory!
Tracking info provided is totally useless, shipping took 10 days from date of order.
Quality is very poor, finish appears to be painted on, staking is non existent, forward assist serrations are poorly cut, bolt and/or bolt carrier has very rough spot. For those claiming this is a good deal because it only cost $45, it was advertised as a $69 item on sale. Do you want to risk your life on poor quality?
Send it back. The one I got didn't have any of that. The only "defect" I could find were a couple of really light machining swirls in the rear of the carrier cutout, and the staking wasn't great. Everything that mattered was in great shape.
These are definitely BCA.
Appear to be reasonable quality. Staking was nearly non-existent.
Staked, used. works great. No problems!
Got 3 of these yesterday . I don't care what anyone says these are made by bear creek arsenal . They look identical and are marked the exact same way as the BCA brand. Still super cheap and very decent quality for 45 bucks shipped.
***Repost from below: Received the 3 BCG's and my Glock 22 SS barrel, just 5 hours ago. Obviously haven't tested them, but all dry fit and cycle. I made 2 other orders as the prices were too low to pass up! I wouldn't expect Brownell shipping lead times. But so far, way faster than PSA!
Ordered this BCG from combat Armory on 11/16/18 and received it on 11/21 / 18.
Overall appearance looks excellent, and nitride coating is way better then i expected. Stake job is 6.5/10 but at this price point, i will finish it up. Over all A+
This is a fantastic price for a quality BCG.
Ordered this BCG, and mine arrived in 3 days! Great fit and finish.
I ordered this and some sights from PSA on the same day. Guess we'll see who has "lesser slow" shipping.
Bcg won by 3days despite having the same projected arrival. Bch was - 1 and psa was+2
USPS system is non-responsive but it looks as if the package MAY have been picked up (four days after tracking info was received and website said it was shipped).

Outstanding price, if only they would actually ship the products. Have called and spoken with Mike, who says that items are being shipped. My tracking number says the Post Office is still awaiting receipt of the shipment (since the 18th). I will remove my comment and negative reviews when I have something that says Combat Armory is actually delivering and not just taking orders.
My tracking is doing the same thing waiting for package
Relax you'll get what you ordered. I ordered from them several times and always got what I ordered. Patience is a virtue.
After about two weeks, I have what I ordered. Outstanding value for the money!
Hope he doesn’t ever buy anything from PSA Lol ;)
Never had PSA only ship half of what I ordered.
Actually, I personally buy from PSA almost weekly and they are good to go, but I have a good history with them. This is my first experience with Combat Armory so only time will tell.
My shipping updated and is showing delivery for Saturday.
Bought two, free shipping. BARGAIN!
So I tried ordering and creating an account but the “captcha” feature was down. Called to let them know (so they didn’t lose business due to a website issue) and get advise on what to do and rep that answered was rude as anything. Really not impressed with the attitude. Checked out as a guest and was Able to complete the order. Sent an email to their customer service letting them know of their reps attitude and will see if they reply. Hoping the rest of this transaction goes through smoothly.
For the record, I think this is a "one man show" so, if you sent an email, it probably went to the same person you spoke with.
I tried to edit my comment but alas: code still works and they took my money. =)
If you use Combat Armory and the current 25% off deals (building around the barrel, bcg and stripped upper combo), along with some other deals right now, you can put together a complete AR with a couple minor upgrades for $250, and that is with the lower, free float handguard. Complete, except for sights. Lowest cost ever, and of course it isn't one that you should depend your life on, but should work fine. They also have glock barrels right now for $45 with the coupon code.
hi, Id appreciate the info on where to get the parts to build for around 250. Ive just started building and I would appreciate any help you could give me.
You can get a barrel , a bcg and an upper receiver for 95 dollars from this site , primary arms always has good sales too , I buy made in USA handguards from chandler hardwoods for 50 bucks , gas blocks, tubes comps and some barrels from gorilla machining, palmetto state armory is good for there sales. Karris guns is also budget friendly. Just google any of the above names and you will find some good deals
Gorilla used to be tactical ambush and they ripped people off
Tactical ambush was bought out by Gorilla machining, different owners and different location same cnc machines. I bought lots of stuff from Gorilla an never had a problem with them or their shipping. The one time I received a different barrel from gorilla they replaced it with the barrel I ordered and told me to keep the one I didnt order.
ordered one. guess well see. at least it's made in the USA
Anyone have an info on who makes this?
This is the best price I have ever seen on a quality BCG. Thanks OP and Combat Armory.
@ lushdrunk My theory is, that so many peeps saw the prices of AR's go up in 2014 and rushed in to get a piece; Now the market is too saturated. My guess is, some are trying to lower their inventory and stay afloat. Happens with every market. Weeds out the turds! When in doubt about a biz use your credit card and not debit. You have better protection if a problem should arise.
hope this place is on the up & up. I just ordered a 10.5" barrel for $34 shipped. that kind of price seems too low to be true.
Had to get 3 just for trading, Magnetic Particle Inspection, to boot! Was tempted to get the Brass Aluminum Forge stripped uppers for $29.99, but decided to go with a Glock Barrel. Super cheap! Normally $59.99 with 25% $45, no tax and free shipping. Damn I wish I had more dough in my account!
Received the 3 BCG's and my Glock 22 SS barrel, just hours ago. Obviously haven't tested them, but all dry fit and cycle. I made 2 other orders as the prices were too low to pass up! I wouldn't expect Brownell shipping lead times. But so far way faster than PSA!
we are processing orders daily the response has been keeping us busy let us know if theirs anything you need
K I'm game. Anyone have this bcg? I'll try to remember to report back.

I ordered this BCG and an upper from Combat Armory. Shipping was very fast. Upper looks good, but the BCG doesn't t fit in the upper or any of my other uppers. The carrier must be out of spec. I have contacted the seller and will update on any resolution.
(Update1) Company replied to my email in less than 12 hours. Said they're sending a replacement.
(Update2) Received a new BCG in 5 days. New one is working flawlessly. I would recommend.
