Re: looking for thoughts on 5.56 bolt group I just picked up a couple of PSA premium BCGs to upgrade my 15 year old Bushmaster uppers from semi-auto to full auto bolt carriers. The quality looks great with a smoother finish (seems to hold lubricant better than the BM finish) than the...

Re: Need suggestions for a complete upper Good Grief. Just go to the PSA Website and pick one of their complete uppers. Lots of choices in 16" priced from $400 up, and they are all good.

Re: I Won GUNS Magazine's Gun Of the Month! LMT .308 If it bothers you that much, give it away to a IRS recognized charity, and take the tax write-off to make your cost zero.

Re: 2 Pound Trigger Spring There are three springs in the FCG. The trigger spring and the disconnector spring do virtually nothing as far as trigger tension/trigger release force are concerned. The trigger spring returns the trigger to the rest position. The primary trigger tensioning...

Re: First AR/AR-build ever (opinions/advice welcomed!) Just buy your lower from a local FFL/Seller. By the time you pay the FFL to receive the lower for you, and he charges you for his time, you aren't saving anything by buying the lower online. Buy the rest of the parts from reputable...

Re: First AR-15 build- required assembly tools? If you're only going to be building one, you'd be better off buying a barreled upper receiver, or a complete upper assembly, and skipping the specialized tools that are only used to assemble the barrel to the upper, and the FSB to the barrel.

Re: First Semi auto You can swap upper receiver assemblies, or barrels or stripped upper receivers if you go ahead and buy a DPMS Sportical. BUT swapping the upper receiver can cost you more than you'll pay for the Sportical, just to get to an upper assembly that's closer to an M4 than the...

Re: A lower is a lower A lower is not a lower, is not lower. Yes, there is a limited number of forging houses, BUT the machining and finishing is everything. Take the time to drive down to Riflegear, and look at the lowers that they offer for sale. After comparing about six different...

Re: Gas tube .116" short... ok? Is there some reason you couldn't remove the FF tube, and replace the gas tube?

Re: AR-15 Trigger adjustment option's If you go too low, you may get FTF with some brands of ammo. An AR will never have the same type of trigger feel as a bolt gun. What I would suggest is to first try investing in a JP Engineering reduce power spring set (hammer, trigger, and...

Re: Cannot eject live round with charging handle 2X If you're reloading you need to full length resize with small base dies. Are the rounds being fired factory, or reloads? Looks to me like there's a chamber problem, or the ammo used is reloads that have not been resized properly for use...

Re: Basic M-4 Carbine I talked PSA Customer Service on the phone, and the Complete 16" Flattop Upper Assembly should be back in stock in another week or two. I've been told that the price should be the same $399. The Lower Receiver and the MOE Lower Build Kit are both active/current...

Re: Short stroking issues with my new build If the parts were mine, I would have sent the barrel, bolt, and whatever parts came with them back when the loose extension was discovered. Obviously if the feedramps lined up with the barrel extension not torqued properly, they were never going to...

Re: Basic M-4 Carbine PSA (Palmetto State Armory) PSA 16" flattop M4 upper $399 PSA lower receiver $65 PSA MOE lower build kit $125 Magpul rear site $50.

Re: Home protection Rifle Putting together a decent house gun for under $1000 is child's play right now. I'm in the process of helping a friend get parts for his first AR house gun together. Seems to me that there are a lot of Wannabes buying expensive bling to sling onto guns that weigh a...
