6mm arc frankenstein

I have to admit it is a sexy little folder. A3 industries folder, proof carbon 16in, held together by a modified BCA bolt action upper. Geisselle trigger. Rest was just stuff laying around. Handi lil beast.

Having stuff laying around can be dangerous.

One time I had some BDL bottom metal & scope rings laying around, they morphed into another gun.

I called it "filling in the gap"......

Kind of a nice looking rifle. I bought a BCA bolt upper to try on my custom lower. I ended up building a dedicated BA lower. And left my custom AR as it was.

how is the bca bolt upper? I almost bought one in 22arc but ended up getting a howa 1500 mini instead. Still on the fence about getting one.

But does it shoot?

It works, has a few quirks that once you become accustom to it works well, mine is in 223. Mine feeds, extracts and fires reliably.

It won't rival the smooth operating of the mini but I find it more of a way to have the look and feel of an AR in jurisdictions where a semi-auto AR isn't legal. Or a way to add a caliber easily. Like taking your coyote hunting AR after whitetails, just add a 350 legend BA upper, you only need one shot most of the time.

I'm old and a little set in my ways, and I'm having trouble understanding the purpose of a bolt action AR.

See above.

For me its the varsatility. Like gun legos. Endless stocks grips barrels etc for the AR platform.

It works reliably. Not what i would call a silky smooth action. Had to modify it a bit. 6mm arc so much better in a bolt.
