So I see several Labor Day sales listed at Palmetto State Armory with parts kits for classic and some other AR15 styles that have everything but the receiver, rear sight and magazine. $299 shipped. No KY sales tax. Right to my door. Good reviews on the kits. Friend of mine has other friends across the state where he works who really like the PSA kits. Good basic reliable gun sets for really good prices.
I really never had the AR itch. And certainly not back when in the 2017 election run-up they were sky high WHEN you could find them.
I can't hunt any more. I only reload straight walled pistol cartridges, for which I also cast my own slugs. And do black powder (Ruger Old Army's, CVA Optima pistol, and a teeney weeney NAA Companion). These prices, as well as the almost pre 1968 feeling of front door delivery (may it always remain) sure makes me think about ordering one. Just because. And to pee in a liberal's corn flakes.
So the only things to ask I can think about here are:
1) Do the PSA uppers have the "M4 feed ramps"? (I hope that's the way to ask it)
2). Is the bore and chamber chromed? Does it matter any more?
3).If I do buy a kit, is it possible to resist the urge to upgrade an AR? Does it require an intervention by a group of reformed AR tinkerers in my living room, with receipts and shipping labels laid out on my coffee table to help illustrate to me the folly of my ways and how it affects others?
