I tried to keep it dry and out of the sunlight, but it grew into a whole rifle anyways...

Upper:
Rainier Arms Billet Upper Receiver
Black Hole Weaponry 16" polygonal rifled, satin finish, mid length barrel.
Rainier Arms XTC
MOE mid length handguard
Adams Arms mid length kit
Chromed Bolt
PSA CH
PSA Firing Pin

Lower:
PSA Pictogram lower
PSA MOE LPK
Magpul UBR
KNS .154 Gen 2 pins

My PTAC Black Friday Deal upper from PSA arrived today via the big brown truck of love. :)

It actually arrived last Thursday the 12th of December but I missed the second delivery on Friday. So 13 days from ordering to my door. Not terrible. I had a COLT take off carry handle I got off the EE so I slapped it on this for a KISS M4.

The upper comes completely dry with no visible lube on any surface. The finish is the standard milspec anodizing with a slight gray to dark black finish depending on how much lube is applied.

The upper is made by Brass Aluminum Forgings (SQUARE forge mark, same as some COLT, STAG, CMT uppers). It is not marked M4 above the gas tube. No other visible markings on the upper besides the T marks (not painted).

You can really see how dry it is in this picture. The more I apply REM Oil and wipe it off the darker it is becoming. No biggy. I might actually Duracoat this rifle all FDE or try having it hydro dipped? Who knows. We will see how much Christmas costs before I go ape shit. Maybe just a rattle can job with some Alumahyde. That has worked pretty good on some bolt guns I have done in the past.

The barrel has no visible markings indicating manufacturer and is only marked 5.56 Nato 1/7. The barrel has some finish wear similar to what you would see if parts were stacked together in a bin. No worse than most of the COLTS I own. No big deal.

Front site post is F marked

The bolt has no visible marks of any kind. It is listed as 158 Carpenter steel on the website. Who knows. It is a full auto carrier. It is reasonably staked. Not as agressively as it could be but better than some commercial parts I have seen over the years. It was definately test fired as the bolt face has brass markings on it and the chamber has powder residue in it.

The feed ramps do not look horrible. Could be better but look to be functional. Again I have seen much worse in my time. Hard to get a good picture.

The handgaurds are standard single heatshield M4. Nothing special but fit the KISS principle I am after in this build.

I mated the PTAC upper to a SPIKES Tactical (Spider/Pictogram) lower. Pure vanilla here also. One thing of note is that the reciever extention is numbered and the numbers are visible to the hole in the buttstock. The castle nut is properly staked and the fit and finish is pure milspec. The painted pictogram markings for the selector settings are nice if not really my speed unless they are on an Hk type rifle.

The upper and lower fit perfectly together with the usual amount of wobble that is typical in AR type rifles. It is maybe just a touch more snug than my 6920. Again. Nothing special to report.

What can I say, since I have not shot it I can't make a claim about how accurate it is or if its as realiable as Filthy 14 or not. From all outward appearances and based on my experience it should work as advertised.

I ordered one of the PTAC builds on Black Friday with the 22LR conversion. Everything about the gun felt great except that hand guard and stock but that was to be expected. Definitely cut corners with that. I actually purchased another one while waiting on the first. premium build with stainless barrel and MI keymod rail that should be here sometime after christmas. Sold the PTAC. New owner is very happy with it.

This is a complete PSA build. Got lower last summer, and bought the upper during the holiday sales. Nice rifle at a great price. The upper is the M4 Premium 16" barrel. I add Magpul furniture and the red dot. I'm really happy with this rifle.

here's the gun I put together from the parts I ordered on Christmas. It started out like this;

PSA blem lower
PSA enhanced lower build kit
PSA Premium 16" upper
Vortex Strikefire
MBUS rear

here's what it looks like now after I made a couple changes

I chopped the FSB down and added an Odin works 12.5" free float rail and a MBUS front. I plan on adding a light mount and some type of sling in the near future. I'm also thinking about changing out the grip for an MOE.

I've built quite a few ARs with PSA MOE LBKs on various lowers, including some with PSA uppers. Had one PSA lower sitting around for about 9 months, with the LBK being installed about 6 months ago. Finally decided to use it for a 6.8 build. Ordered my upper in early December...UPS brought it yesterday. Got it mounted up, sights, RDS and AFG2 installed today. Maybe the range in a couple weeks.

Obligatory outside shot:

Close up to show barrel color compare to Magpul sight and AFG2:

Obligatory propped up through trigger guard shot:

The Specs
PSA stripped lower
PSA MOE LBK in OD
MOE MBUS in OD
MOE AFG2 in OD
Vortex SPARC
Bison Armory upper w/ 16" Recon Subsonic 1:7 barrel Cerakoted in Magpul OD
YHM lightweight rifle length quadrail
Standard Bison BCG, low pro gas block and charging handle
YHM QD mount for LT can

The mags are D&H Gen 2 from PSA that I took some Testors and painted the big groove and stenciled a 6.8 just to keep them from getting mixed up with my 5.56 stuff.

I think it looks great. I assume it'll shoot great.
