Thoughts on this rifle kit

If i was gonna but together an inexpensive ar, would this be a good place to start?

I've always had good luck with Palmetto and they receive lots of praise from the online community. Some people say occasionally there is a long wait for some of their items, but this sounds like a good price. Just order one of their blemished lowers for $100 and you have a full rifle for $650+ shipping and FFL fee. Another factor is right now piecing together all of the necessary parts can be difficult. I had to look around for a month for a bolt for my 6.8 build. If you want more 6.8 specific info, look at this site:

Yeah, I built my AR with one of their kits, only difference was mine was in .223/5.56. I haven't had one issue with it in the thousands of rounds over the last few years which is why I think so highly of PSA.
