I back-ordered one through Chris a week before they came back in stock. Easy day.
It's a little ridiculous that standard BCG's are in the same price range as the coated/treated versions.

I have two waiting to be shipped from Chris. I have one RCA in hand that is in my buddies newly built AR and I have two BCMs and a DD BCG to compare them to. From what I can tell, they look to be quality. I won't know much more until I can actually get to the range and fire them.
With that said, at this point i'd prefer a DD or BCM as they have tests all over, many individuals have used them and proven them. This is not to say the RCA will be any less reliable and i'm looking forward to seeing how mine compare to the others I have.
Order placed on march 8th. Just got my order confirmation, but no tracking numbers yet.
Anyone else?
they didn't send out shipping notices last batch, but they shipped them out UPS pretty damn quick.
came in a glossy box with a foam cut-out cradling it like some kind of scope or camera lens or something... kindof a head-scratcher to me, that was...
I took a chance on one when the first website batch was released on Feb 11th and I got the order confirmation on Feb 14th. I never got a tracking number from them but it showed up on the 20th.
The overdone descriptions and high price deterred me in the beginning but I do like the coating. The surface is slick and with just enough TW-25B to be visible it performed well when feeding Independence XM193 and some 55gr Hornady/Benchmark/PMC and 77gr SMK/Varget/LC handloads. It retained the lube well and almost looked unused when I got done aside from carbon on the bolt. Wiped off easily.
Not much use (~400rds) but it's goin strong so far.
well im not complaining about it or making fun of them, it's just that ive never gotten a BCG in a package like this before:
