About This Firearm
The Bear Creek Arsenal BC-15 is a parkerized semi-automatic .350 Legend built for deer hunting in straight-wall seasons. It has an MSRP of $524.99. Its 18-inch heavy barrel is 4150 chrome moly vanadium on a carbine-length gas system, threaded 5/8-24 behind a flash hider, under a full-length M-LOK split rail.
No magazine comes in the box, so .350 Legend magazines are part of the first order. The lower is a mil-spec multicaliber AR-15 forging with a standard trigger in it, so grips, stocks and triggers are ordinary AR shopping. Bear Creek also prints a warning on this rifle's own listing, that its .350 Legend is susceptible to jamming on lowers it did not manufacture and with certain ammunition and magazines.
If you're cross-shopping, the CMMG Resolute Mk4 has an MSRP of $1,599.95 for the same cartridge at 6.10 lbs, with a 10-round magazine and ambidextrous controls included. A used Ruger American Ranch gives up the fast second shot, weighs 6.00 lbs and arrives with a Picatinny rail on the receiver. At 8.00 lbs it carries more weight than either rifle beside it.

Strengths & Limitations
- It is a complete rifle at a price where .350 Legend shopping usually means buying an upper and sorting out a lower, and both receivers are forgings.
- The bolt is E9310 steel and the feed ramp is cut to the .300 Blackout profile, which is the geometry these fat AR cartridges need to come up out of a magazine cleanly.
- A parkerized barrel and an anodized receiver are the finishes that survive a wet season leaning in a shooting house, and neither needs more than a wipe down.
- .350 Legend AR magazines are a thinner market than 5.56 ones, and this rifle ships with none, so sort the magazines out before the rifle arrives.
- There are no iron sights and no optic in the box, so glass and a mount go on the first order alongside the magazines.
- The heavy barrel profile puts the weight out front, which is felt on a walk in to a stand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run the upper on another brand's lower?
Bear Creek says to be careful. Its listing states that its .350 Legend is susceptible to jamming on lowers it did not manufacture, so mixing brands across the pin holes is at your own risk, and the lower is the first thing to change back if the rifle short-cycles.
Which magazines and ammunition does Bear Creek recommend?
Bear Creek lists recommended magazines and ammunition by caliber for this rifle, and with a cartridge this fussy about feeding that list is the place to start.
What twist rate is the barrel?
1:16, the standard rate for .350 Legend, set for the heavy flat-based hunting bullets the cartridge is loaded with.
