There is a lot of PSA hate here and for no reason. PSA is ok entry level stuff. I have a few. But with the PSA prices as they are I recommend spending slightly more and get a LaRue UU kit. It’s only 1 or 200 more for a complete build kit. But you might have to wait a bit. Totally worth it. Yes I have one of those also and it’s on a LaRue lower.

With a good barrel, trigger, and ammo, virtually ANY BRAND/MAKE AR will generally shoot better than the person pressing the trigger is able to shoot it. I've assembled several thousand ARs over the last 6 years, using uppers and lowers from almost all of the major manufacturers. Aside from cosmetics, and some ambidextrous controls, there just isn't a hell of a lot of actual difference, AS LONG AS THE PARTS ARE MADE TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS.
I know this will irritate the boutique rifle fans, but that is not my intent. Unless your are a true tier 1 operator, 90% of AR owners will never shoot out their original barrels. Spend the money on more ammo, quality triggers, and more trigger time. |

Do you have all of the appropriate tools that s build needs? If not, my vote is for a PSA upper and lower. I had one for a couple years after I got divorced and was paying alimony and child support. Lol. It served its purpose. I actually wish I would've just kept it, but I figured I'd sell it while the covid iron was still hot early last year.

If you get one of their premium FN CHF/Cl barrels they are an excellent choice. As far as the lower goes, a PSA is fine. As long as all the holes are drilled in the right spot, the lower isn't going to matter, it's the FCG the lower holds is what's more important. Put a good FCG in it and you shouldn't have any problems with a PSA lower, or an Anderson lower or just about any lower.

If you by a assembled rifle there is a 11% excise tax.
Or You could buy a lower. Then buy an upper. Put upper on Lower & SAVE! |

Most of the PSA hate comes from guys needing to validate their decision to spend 3k on an AR.

I've had a dozen between myself, friends, & kids w/ zero issues. Same here, I have had a few, well more than a few, never one issue. The last one I put together cost me less than $400. I had a lower left over from a BOGO free sale PSA had some years back, raided the parts bin and bought a used PSA upper from the EE. I runs great, cycles very good and goes bang everytime. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Most of the PSA hate comes from guys needing to validate their decision to spend 3k on an AR. I tend to agree. That's not to say that PSA, Anderson let some slip by QC, but every brand does, its just when they do everyone piles on saying see, garbage! If Colt, DD or any of the higher end companies let one slip by, people say it's cause the person doesn't know how to operate an AR.

The PSA premium uppers are very good.
I would also look into glfallc.com. they sell a full complete rifle for $750 thats also better than most PSA rifles. |

Most current ATF report shows just shy of 27k rifles for year end 2019. Bet your ass that they have surpassed that number. Eta: Fun fact....the report lists just shy of 276k "misc" firearms manufactured as well.

Eta: Fun fact....the report lists just shy of 276k "misc" firearms manufactured as well. And that means AR "pistols" as well. The ATF production report is always enlightening. Imagine the amount of uppers and lowers just being sold... not just complete rifles. |
