So a couple weeks ago my boss's brother decided that he needed an AR-15. So I looked over PSA's web site and found the cheapest lower and upper with lower parts kit.
Well just before he placed the order I had him spend just under $50.00 more and get a different upper that had a few reviews where the cheapest one did not have any reviews.
So this last week every thing finally showed up.
So last night and this morning I started assembling the lower. Keep in mind that this is my first, I have never assembled an AR lower before. All my tools say Snap On, as in their not gun smithing tools. I did not have a vise or the blocks that a lot of people have.
I watched a 30 minute video on You Tube and basically followed along. And all together it took me about the same amount of time.
After I finished it, I swabbed the barrel and bolt, then lubed the bolt. I took it out side and put 30 rounds through it and no issues. Every thing went perfect. I took the rear flip up sight of my own rifle, slid it in, and at 25ish yards, I was right on the money.
All in all I am pretty happy with the whole deal. Fit was good and it's a really nice looking rifle and shoots very well. The trigger is a little heavy, but it's what I would expect for the money paid for every thing.
I honestly can't wait to order a few of my own. I have a AR-10 lower already, can't wait to get the upper with the parts kit.
