This is JB Brown president from BCI Defense. There are companies out there that do produce products with issues. We here at BCID are very proud of our craftsmanship and quality process. We have been manufacturing since 1939 to some large companies in the world. We are a ISO facility that is monitored through a six sigma process.
True that we are new to the firearms industry but we have been making other products for many years.
We have a lifetime warranty on our product. We take great pride in our product, that is why we even took the packaging to the next level. We here at BCID know you will be very proud to own a Indiana product that is held to a high quality standard. Thank you, JB
I can tell you from experience that I bought local and lost. It was not the brand you speak of but Delaware machinery made here in IN. The takedown pin ears were misaligned with the rest of the lower. I had to file down one ear to get the lower to fit and actually accept a mag.
Now that I did the filing the AR does seem to function ok. Ran about 100 rounds though it with no probs.
If I had to do it over again I would probably buy from a more known company. There are lemons in every bunch I would guess. I was just the unlucky one.
I might post some pics if anyone is interested.
I am researching lower parts kits now to determine what I want to put in it. The Daniels Defense looks pretty good from what I am seeing so far. I may get that ordered this week if I can find one in stock.
The Dayton Hamfest (Amateur Radio swapmeet - largest in US) is in a couple weeks. If I have anything left after that trip, I will get the upper parts ordered.
This will be my first AR build from parts, so I'm pretty excited and liking the local parts.
Finally got the pictures together... Before anyone asks how I got serial number BCI00000, it's a little Photoshop magic so my serial number is not plastered all over the Interwebz!

Since there's no registry [yet] what keeps them from reporting it stolen?Ive never really understood why some people are so paranoid about their serial numbers being "on the net". Its not your social security number so why the paranoia?
Since there's no registry [yet] what keeps them from reporting it stolen?
They see your serial, call the police, report the gun stolen... You better hope you have solid records showing your ownership or you're going to find yourself in court defending that it's yours or possibly facing charges for possession of stolen property.
Is it likely? I don't know - but it's possible.
