    To expect quality machining from BCL, is like expecting honesty from a politician!
    Buy once and cry once. Sometimes half measures cost twice as much.
    Accuracy is a matter of time and money. How much do you want to spend?
    Coyotes outpace roadrunners by 23 mph. They do not outpace a 223 Remington, however.

    That looks rough, like they did it on a manual with a HSS endmill going slow as ####, lol.

    This one doesn't look nearly that bad- https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...1#post20057754

    It’s made by bcl. That’s probably one of the better ones.

    AS long as the vector reduction swirls are oriented correctly they should soften recoil and help stay on target for double taps....

    Looks a bit like a "broom handle" Mauser made during a war effort.

    My first thought seeing the foxbat, I thought for a second maybe they had outsourced the slides to Palametto State Armoury, but seeing the tool marks I can rule that out.....

    Our Government trusts rivets more then law abiding gun owners.

    Well.... lots of people have had that excitement, just not PAL holders.

    Apparently the ones people have received are very nice with no machining marks. Can anyone confirm this?
    The only government I trust is 45-70 Government!

    Nah, been looking at the ones people have been receiving, and the machining marks are all present to varying degrees, even on the grips. But it's BCL/NEA, people should know what to expect by now, at least it's a Glock frame you can put your own choice of slides on later I suppose, 18 months after handguns were frozen for transfer in Canada. The photos Marstar posted are pretty high resolution, you may not notice those marks as much in person and depending on lighting.

    I don't care that it's a BCL... I'd buy 10 if I could...

    Most Norinco’s look cleaner than this
    Having something and not needing it is far better than needing something and not having it. Seems like simple logic to me!
