BCL 102
The BCL 102 is a lightweight, 7.62×51mm, magazine-fed, gas-operated semi-automatic rifle.
Black Creek Labs introduced the BCL 102 in 2017. This rifle reportedly takes its roots from the NEA102, which is derived from the Armalite AR 102 (which pre-dates the AR-15), hence the numerals "102" in its name.[citation needed]
Circa Aug 2017. First public release with collaboration with North Eastern Arms.
Circa Dec 2017. Changes from the first wave include: ambidextrous bolt release, redesigned upper receiver, redesigned brass deflector, redesigned BCL logo, redesigned bolt catch, addition of a trigger guard lowering gate, and flared magazine well, the charging handle was replaced by an ambidextrous in-house model. The stock was also changed to a "Captain Hook" style. The barrel nut now has lightening holes in it.
This generation was still designed and produced under the management of North Eastern Arms. Customers reportedly were having common extraction and ejection issues with their firearm.
Circa Summer 2018. Black Creek takes over all manufacturing and design from North Eastern Arms to rectify the consistent problems of extraction and ejection.
March 2019 BCL released a public recall statement:
"It has been determined that a previous extractor recall did not completely solve the issue, so further investigation, testing and evaluation was required and is now completed. It is now understood that any 102s with extraction or ejection issues should contact warranty support for an “extraction/ejection repair kit.” Kits may vary based on individual symptoms, but at minimum, the kit will include a new generation extractor and a new set of “made in Canada” gas rings developed and manufactured specifically for the 102."
