Nice build. That is a really nice lower! I wish it was available for Colt mags, I feel like I got to have lrbho functionality. I didn't see that lower on Aklys website, would I just need to call? Do you happen to know what the price is on it?

Well, since you didn't specify caliber of AR....:) The AR platform is much more versatile. With configurations from .22lr to .50 beowulf, and barrel lengths 4" to 24", pistol/rifle, etc. it's no contest. My personal choice would be .300 aac blackout, sbr'd, and suppressed.

I use syn bearing grease applied sparingly. Nickel boron bcg. Rifle runs like a swiss watch.

Have never heard, read, or seen a QC issue with PSA in the past few years (other than one incident with a dissy model). CS and slow shipping have indeed been a problem, but the rifle I just ordered (over Labor Day) was in my hands in 4 days. Took it to the range today and it ran flawlessly...

Apples to apples, stainless tends to be slightly more accurate than melonite/nitride barrels, and a little more still than chrome lined. Tradeoff is decreased barrel life. I think that if are going to own and operate an AR (or any rifle, for that matter), you should have a fairly intimate...

The S&W sporty is around par with psa's freedom line in terms of specs/quality. I just assembled one of PSA's premium CHF rifles (for about $100 more than the S&W), and that sporty is not even close in terms of specs/quality. It's your money, and if you want a name brand roll mark, get it...

Used a 20 cent #7 o-ring slipped over my front upper lug. 0% slop. ymmv.

Only possible benefit I can think of is that it would cycle pretty much any ammo you put in it. Otherwise, no. Middy is the way to go on a 16".

It would already be ordered, but I am waiting on a bonus check from work (that I should already have). :rolleyes: Hopefully tomorrow, so I can catch the free shipping deal....

What about this one? http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/psa-16-chf-mid-length-5-56-nato-1-7-ultra-light-moe-defender-rifle-kit.html Seems like everything I would want, and nothing I don't. It has the NiB bcg, light weight chf/cl barrel, middy, upgraded buffer, moe furniture, and...

Nice work on the brakes. I understand and agree. What I have been reading concurs with what you are saying. Realistically, this gun will be 93% a range toy, and I am not into rapid fire so much, and not into precision long range shooting. The weapon will be fortunate to have 300-500 rds of...

Yeah, i didn't notice that the first time I looked at it. Scratch that one, and thanks for pointing it out. The more I read, the more I realize that, realistically, just about any configuration would suffice for my anticipated usage. I kinda would like a nickel/chrome bcg, and a CL barrel...

I have considered that one. Unsure as I have been reading up on the "melonite vs chrome" debate, and skeptical of the durability and "heat induced" inaccuracy of the pencil profiled barrels. Both would probably be a non-issue for a casual shooter such as myself, but I would like to have an...

Well, I just dropped the hammer on the PSA lower. Will start gathering the rest over the next few weeks, wish me luck! Thanks everyone for the input and advice!

I checked out the Aero gen 2 lower. That tension screw looks like it could be easily replicated with some patience, a drill press, a tap, and an appropriate screw on most any lower. I have been reading ALOT of reviews/opinions on PSA, and this is the first I have heard about loose...

------------------- Those super cheap pre-built AR's are sub-par on components, cutting corners to sell at a rock bottom price. The FN barrels and PSA bcg's (esp. the NB premium) are in another pay grade. Not the best, but far from the worst. Besides, I am a mech-nerd tinkerer, so I would...

...a PSA premium rifle kit and PSA stripped lower, that is under $600? http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/21537/s/psa-16-midlength-premium-5-56-nato-1-7-a2-profile-moe-rifle-kit/ http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/10445/category/4514/...

Walther PPS is another good one to consider.
