palmetto state armory quality?

I also had to pick up one of their completed lowers this weekend. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I don't even know what I'm going to do with this new rifle as I already have 16in Mid length also from PSA. Not sure if I want to go 20 in stainless freefloated for longer ranges, or a 16in dissipator.

I'd say go with a SS. Not b/c I'm concerned with long range, but the 16" dissipator while unique, is still a 16" barrel. Add some new flavors to your line up. If not 20" at least an 18". Check out ICE ARMS, Joe Bob Outfitters, Rainier, Surplus Ammo and Arms (they stock Black Hole Weaponry) or hell even Brownells. Barrels are back on the market in full force as of late.

You aren't kidding, just picked up a "weekend deal" blem complete lower for a total $199 (shipped and including the price of the pending transfer). I doubt I could build it my self for much less with a half decent LPK. I'll advise when it arrives @ my FFL and I mutt mate it with my Colt upper. I might have to pick up a few more with the Hilldogg 2016 queef cloud coalescing with the Obamastank cloud over DC.

Those are amazing prices. I am going to have to pay more attention to these things.

I'd go with the bald tires and get the AR.

Got my "blem complete lower", and wrung it out with a few hundred rounds.

* Drops Pmags and USGI mags freely. 20/30 round usgi and 20/30/40 round Pmags tested

* I paid $199 shipped and transferred. It took 10 days.

* the blem is laughable, I'll take the savings

* trigger is smooth. Has a slightly longer reset than my Colt. Takedown pins were smooth, very little play between 6920 lower and a DDm4v7 lower ( does not matter to me anyway but does to some)

* Overall I'm impressed. Of course mine is a sample of one, but everything seems GTG. I highly recommend this to anyone who is on a budget or wants to pick up a few more lowers for builds etc. get in on one. I have a pending stamp on the Colt lower, so when that comes back and I can buy an SBR upper the PSA will inherit the 6920 upper.

Comparison pics for fun



Colt Lower/ hammer-fire safe markings. Note notched LW Schneider marked hammer



PSA lower/hammer fire safe markings. Note un notched LW schneider marked hammer. Could they have the same/similar LPK? Hmmmm who knows.....



Colt ships with H buffer std



PSA with a factory marked Carbine buffer. ( $30 upgrade to H or H2 no biggie) Recoil was subjectively the same with M855. My buffer spring was worn out of spec and replaced in the Colt lower ( 6000 rounds ) so I'll have to do another comparison



Here is the "blem" can you see it?



Castle nut staking



Six pos milspec dimension buffer tube. Not sure if forged or extruded, comes with a PSA branded waffle stock ( sorry for the wierd pic, dang camera focused off....you get the idea)



Roll mark is cool enough



Fit with 6920 upper



Mutt gun



Like I said, I'm happy for the $200. I'll advise if I break it.......

I am not sure I see the blem. Is it a scratch above the mag catch?

[46and2]

Ive bought many PSA blems before and I never was able to find the blem. PSA is GTG.

[Splittiebus66]

Yes, the scratch was it. I inspected it very carefully waiting for big brother to OK my purchase

[Gunowner99]

I didn't see that, good eyes.
