Building a cheap truck gun and ran across this PSA upper. I couldn't pass it up at that price. Any issues with this upper? If it's truly made by FN than I'm sure it's GTG.


I may buy another and shave the FSB for a new free float build I'm doing.

I recently bought one awhile back for my first build. Ran 1000 rounds through it no issue whatsoever. I'm currently waiting for my midwest industry 12'' FF key mod handguard then she will be complete.

Thanks. Does it have an FN stamp on the barrel markings?

Fn makes a decent barrel.   My only gripe would be that it is a carbine gas system.   Run the heaviest buffer you can with it.

The ds arms barrels are button rifled.  The upper the op just got has a chrome lines hammer forged barrel.

DSA makes decent parts.  Their barrels are very overgassed,  The fn barrel is worth paying more for it.

Thanks. Been paying $439.00 for stripped BCM's so $299.00 is a great price if its an FN product.
