    What a joke!!! They Troy does look to be a pretty quality rifle, but I'd buy a BCM BCG and throw that thing in the trash

    Finally got some more pics. Here are four separate Troy rifles from two separate shipments sent one week apart. I tried to get good shots of both the BCG staking and castle nut staking on a total of four separate guns.

    Keep in mind, these are $1,500 guns...

    Those BCGs looks worst than S&W...totally not worth the money

    Stick to accessory making or dumb whoever is making your rifles and get the quality up...

    Ok guys I agree the staking on the BCGs looks bad. Needs to be fixed if it hasn't already. The Castle nuts look ok to me though. What I don't get are the comments telling them to "stick to selling accessories"

    Here we have a company with an overall good reputation of making quality products and you are condemning them over 4 photos of badly staked BCGs. How do they stack up otherwise should be the question. If there are a number of issues and they are refusing to fix them then I will agree with you 100% that they need to go back to the drawing board.

    Also they posted a while back on FB that they are not selling rifled to Dicks anymore and will not sell to them in the future. Any rifles that they have for sale are pre December 2012 inventory.
    Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

    I was one of the fortunate guys that got a Troy rifle on the Black Friday sale. For the money it was a smokin deal. I made sure mine came with a full auto bolt carrier. It was staked pretty much like the op's photo. That in itself was not that big a deal to me; easily remedied. I was more bothered that Troy would arbitrarily throw M-16 or semi bolt carriers in their rifles depending on what they had handy. Then after all the well deserved hoopla after Dicks yanked all their black rifles and refused to honor their backorders, the fact that Troy is again willing to use Dicks as their distributer really torques me off.

    I'd stake it and shoot it.

    First those examples are not the only ones being reported.

    Second, if someone spends over $1200 on a rifle, he or she should not be worried about having a downed rifle due improper QA on the manufacturer end, especially on staking properly. Sure it's an easy fix but its a fix I would expect from a low priced rifle

    It needs staking, simple as that. The pics of the RE show that they have the ability to do it... not sure if this is a QC/QA decision, a conscious cost saving decision, or an outright oversight. I agree it's dumb in a $1500 rifle, but anybody who is informed and looking at these side by side with a BCM or DD factory rifle will have already made their mind up long before this is an issue.
