The only thing better than shooting .45 ACP or 10mm is shooting a lot of .45 ACP and 10mm. Which is one of the things that makes the pistol caliber carbine so great—capacity. Not to mention the added ease of use and accuracy. For this reason, Bear Creek Arsenal adds some new pistol caliber carbines to its lineup, chambered in .45 ACP or 10mm.
The Bear Creek Arsenal .45 ACP and 10mm Pistol Caliber Carbines
The line includes five new options with Government or M4 barrels chambered in your choice of .45 ACP or 10mm. Each PCC features a 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium M4 flat-top billet upper receiver and Bear Creek Arsenal bolt carrier group.
The barrels have a 9/16 x 24 thread pitch on the 10mm and a 37/64 x 28 thread pitch on the .45 ACP. Although they are suppressor ready, they come with a flash hider already installed.
The line utilizes familiar AR-15 controls but replace the standard charging handle with a side charging (Gen 2) handle. Additionally, the flared magwell on each PCC accepts a Glock style magazine and provides for fast, easy reloads. Correspondingly, the 10mm accepts Glock 20 style 30-round magazines, while the .45 ACP accepts Glock 21 style magazines.
Available in 7.5-, 10.5-, and 16-inch configurations, the .45 ACP is built on an all-new “AR-45” platform. Likewise, building on a new “AR-10MM” platform, the 10mm is available in 6- and 10.5-inch configurations. Offered in your choice of Government or M4 barrels, each barrel has a 1:16 twist.
Although 10mm is known for its stopping power, some shy away from its heavier recoil. So, to solve this problem, Bear Creek Arsenal utilizes an 8 ounce buffer on the 10mm versions. As a result, this mitigates felt recoil for a softer shooting experience.
