That’s a awesome process thanks for sharing

@shirothehero0609 Жыл бұрын

The part of the process I'd love to see is a more detailed look at the machining of the locking lug. You kind of see it, but just interested in seeing if it's a form cutter or just how you do the off angles and weird geometry of the lug.

I have a build a pistol wall in my store. These barrels have never had a complaint on accuracy or looks from any of my customers. The Titanium nitride barrel in a coyote tan or black slide looks mint. The copper barrel looks great in a green slide.I would say 50% of my stores AR15/AR10 uppers sold are BCA. All of the uppers sold only 1 issue with a AR10 having the spent cartridges get stuck in chamber. Issues will hapen with any company if you deal in their products enough. BCA customer service is what keeps me buying more and more of them for my store. I do wish they offered stealth lowers, with moe furniture though!

Get them parkerized in gold color and you wont be able to keep them in stock I guarantee that. And thanks BCA team for all your hard work

@shirothehero0609 Жыл бұрын

FYI, you don't "parkerize" in gold. Parkerizing is a specific process that produces the blackish grey color with a matte surface we know and love. The process that they use to make barrels gold is PVD with a TiN coating. Physical Vapor deposition with titanium nitride. Titanium nitride is a generic wear resistant coating used on tools and other high wear surfaces. You can also do PVD and TiCN(copperish) or AlTiN(blue/purpleish) or CVD with a DLC coating - Chemical Vapor Deposition with Diamond Like Carbon which is extremely hard and durable and black in color. The other black coloring often used is Nitride which is essentially diffusing into the metal surface and changes the chemical composition of the metal itself to become harder and more wear resistant. Just thought I'd shine some light on the processes for you.

Thought i was the only one who noticed the tools being used for QC checks. Shars and Pittsburgh dial indicators. I do hobby machine work in my basement for giggles and even i use Starrett, Mitutoyo and Bestests. Would it really break the bank to use even $100 indicators instead of indicators that cost $8.99 without a coupon?

@DoraTheMFDestroya 2 жыл бұрын

It really depends on the person using them. I've had my machine tool instructor get pinpoint accurate reading with nearly destroyed micrometers just to prove a point. Once you have experience, and practical application knowledge, you become more accurate than the tool. Though I understand your point and also think a quality name should use quality QA tools.

@radchad992 2 жыл бұрын

Hi rookie machinist here Yes name brand is best but not for why you think. Calibrated is calibrated a cheap indicator vs a starret are gonna read the same the starret will be smoother but gives the same number. The quality difference only shows when drop shit or crash shit. You can drop a starret indicator and fix it or it may be perfectly okay cheaper indicators or measuring tools may be permanently screwed.

I don't think BCA is claiming to be the best but from the reviews I've seen so far I'm impressed, and that's probably what I'll end up getting, I'll take a look at KKM but it sounds like those are gonna be expensive, nothing wrong with a cheap barrel as long as it's to spec and built with quality materials and is accurate, like I said from what I can tell it looks like the BCA glock barrels have those basics covered, ive always steered away from BCA because of bad things I've heard in the past but all that had to do with ARs and employees that from my understanding are no longer there, but I might give a g19 barrel a try, the price is right
