[ARCHIVED THREAD] - *Pics* Dang it... I ordered parts for a 7" build.

Posted: 8/7/2017 8:47:31 PM EDT

PSA 7" upper with mlok, charging handle and BCG.
Anderson lower
PSA MOE lower parts kit
Magpul mbus
Shockwave blade kit
KAK mini flash can

Now the waiting begins.

Here it is!

And yes, the right side safety is inverted intentionally. Keeps it out of the way of my hand and I can just push safe.

Thinking about pretty much the same build.

Maybe the Marauder...

I'm looking @ various handstops angle grips....but dang, for what it is, the cost makes them painful.

I built a simple hand stop using a short piece of 1/2" aluminum round.... attached to the MLOK blind nut with a button head cap screw... step machined into the end of the aluminum to fit the width of the MLOK slot, though probably not needed

being on PSA's daily deal email list is brutal on the wallet isn't it?

After you shoot your pistol you may find there is no need for the hand stop. On mine I never even contacted it with my hand, but it was farther forward. The attached light should more than suffice to prevent your hand going too far forward.

I have thought about that, I am hoping to shoot it this weekend. With my hands, that location also does put my thumb in just the right spot for the light. From another standpoint, I am thinking that leaving it on might be good for when others shoot it, just for a little additional margin of safety.

I'm with the other guy and would either put that hand stop all the way forward or ditch it completely since your light does act as a stop itself. Likely would lean towards ditching it.

I like it...............I have a 7.5 inch build and am going to put a Griffin Armament minimalist flash hider and blast can on mine

It looks good. Looking forward to a range report.

I did a basic sight-in for the Sparc and the irons with my CMMG kit and CCI quiets. So far so good. That should get me in the ballpark for a range day sight in. Best I'll be able to do for now is 25 yards.

ETA: the PSA hammer face had a lot of mill marks, so I stoned that smooth, but otherwise the trigger seems pretty decent

Nice build, I approve and just ordered that upper from PSA. Thanks for helping me spend my money!

Weekend update?

Sadly, did not get out to use it. Chores, pork smoking and daughter school shopping got in the way. May try and do a lunch run during the week.

Speaking of, I tested the trigger pull, and the cheap ass PSA trigger has a nice even 6.25 lb break. Very consistent.

Shoulda splurged the extra $30 on their enhanced FCG

Yeah the PSA EPT trigger is nice for the money or if you get it in a LPK. A SSA is an awsome trigger.

I was set to snag this upper from PSA and then it was sold out. Now I think I'll build a 300 BO and buy a suppressor. Set it up for HD. I already have an AR pistol. This pistol looks great though!
