Bear Creek Arsenal review: Loose barrel extension on 2 uppers

I purchased 2 16"AR 15 uppers. 8-3-23 order no. [protected] for 245.16

8-17-23 order no. [protected] for 240.00. Both units were purchased for parts to be used to build two carry handle uppers. The barrel extentions were bare hand removable after removing locating pens. You could feel the looseness of

one barrel, and hear the barrel of the other upper rattle if you shook it. I tried to contact BCA with phone calls and return my call messages sense Sep.23 with no reply. Trying to get some use from several hundred dollars of bad product, I

Red Locktiteted the extentions and reinstalled the location pens exactly as they came out. On the advise of my local gunsmith, I do not feel safe trying to use these barrels. I know that that they will respond with"you should have sent them back to us". I'm at an advanced age and don't know if I would have lived long enough to ever get a response from them. I feel that they at least owe me 2 16"

CHF barrels that I paid for but cannot use. All the other parts were ok and have been used. R Pridemore 9565 NC HWY 65 Stokesdale NC 27357
