    Screaming deal for those who can buy it. Not sure how much shipping is.

    The Brown Bear I has a 16" Parkerized barrel, 1:9 twist rate and a standard hand guard. This rifle is chambered in 223 wylde and machined with M4 feed ramps (both in the lower and barrel extension). It has a commercial buffer tube, A2 front sight, and an A2 bird cage flash hider. Rifle is shipped with one 30 round magazine and a BCA-15 manual in a Cardboard Case. Here at BCA we pride ourselves on our endless pursuit to provide affordable, reliable and accurate firearms. Our Brown Bear standard hand guard rifle is a perfect range gun and a hardworking hunting companion that will perform for a lifetime.

    google is your friend, I am not.
    M4 barrel, illegal in MD.

    in any case, I have not been super impressed with Bear Creek. I bought one of their HBAR barrels and its useful as a baseball bat but that's about it. I suspect for $299 I'd be getting an overpriced lower and I'd be replacing nearly everything.

    And don't forget - based on the above description, the feed ramps are cut into the lower, so the lower may be worthless too.

    I got 2 of their uppers. One 20 inch heavy barrel fluted left hand dual charger and a light weight standard right hand. I wanted a left hand dual charger for my wife. Due to configuration availability I got both and swapped barrels. Neither flash hider was torqued. I removed them by hand. After removing the gas block and forends, for giggles I tried removing the barrel nut by hand and they came off by hand, both. After the swap and correct reassembly the now right hand heavy fluted 1in 8 barreled upper does 1 inch groups with factory Hornady 55gr soft points. The groups didn't get good until after 30 rounds.

    Double check anything that comes out of there.
