I'm helping a new shooter (college student on a tight budget) put together his first AR. He called me this morning, excited to to say he'd purchased a top half from PSA (
77932966) and a mil-spec stock from another source. He wanted to know what to get next.
The receiver isn't an issue--I keep spares on hand for situations like this--and I can give him a BCG and CH--so to keep things simple, I'd like to point him towards item
7791535 (buffer tube assemble, LPK with the enhanced polished trigger, MOE grip and an ACS-L stock).
My thinking was I'd buy the stock off him to help defray his bottom line, but he could use everything else.
My questions:
1. Does anyone know whether that buffer tube is mil-spec or commercial? The ad doesn't specify, and he needs mil-spec since he already bought a stock.
2. Can this be ordered minus the ACS-L? I don't mind having one in stock--I like them myself--but we really don't
need that.
I'll be honest--I have never built a rifle from PSA parts before, and I'm very interested in seeing how his performs.
I've heard a lot of good things about PSA over the past year or so, and even though he's not buying from the "premium" line, I'm really hoping this gives him a great first-AR experience.
