Bear Creek Arsenal is launching an AR pistol chambered in 5.56 NATO with a compact 4.5-inch barrel. This new addition to BCA’s lineup is designed to combine performance and versatility while still maintaining low costs for Bear Creek Arsenal’s customers. This price saving is achieved by making the pistol in-house.

The new BC-15 AR pistol features a robust build with brace for reliability and durability in a variety of shooting conditions. The 4.5-inch, Parkerized heavy barrel provides a balance between compactness and accuracy, making it a good choice for close quarters and maneuverability in-close. There are M-Lok slots on the sides of the handguard to attach a variety of accessories, and the top of the handguard and the top of the receiver have Picatinny rails for mounting an optic. Chambered in the widely used 5.56 NATO round, this AR pistol offers compatibility with a range of ammunition of both .223 Rem. and 5.56 NATO.

“We are thrilled to introduce this new AR pistol to our customers,” said Eugene, CEO of Bear Creek Arsenal. “Our team has worked tirelessly to develop a firearm that meets the highest standard of quality and performance while keeping our pricing as low as we can for the customers for which our brand is known. We believe that this will be a game changer for shooters looking for a compact and reliable option at a cost that they can customize and outfit it the way they wish.”
