Basically, just a fancy word for Parkerizing. Used on steel parts for corrosion resistance - The aluminum parts are usually hard-anodized instead. Got a PSA $40 lower at the store waiting on me, I will pick it up next week and hopefully shoot it next weekend. Edit - the description of the one I ordered did say phosphate coated barrel. |

Standard mil spec coating used on all AR's up until late. Quoted:

Someone is going to have to school me on this whole "phosphate" thing.... This isn't the worst thing in the World. RRA barrels are unlined and many of those are holding up just fine after tens of thousands of rounds. However, if you are asking yourself how PSA can offer this package so cheap, this is part of your answer. I am sure this barrel will serve most people just fine. However, if you have your heart set on being "mil-spec" (chrome-lined) or having the wear resistance of Melonite/nitride treatment inside and out then this may not be the barrel you are looking for. |

Has anyone replaced the set screw on the shockwave with something more like a wingnut so you can move it in an our without a tool? |
|
Dont know how other manufacturers stay in buisness with psa pricing?
Out of everyone i know that uses psa, have only seen one issue, and it was a trigger pin that kept backing out. They shoot wolf, and tula with zero issue, unlike some other manufacturers. Great product |

Exact same for me. Built, just waiting on a DD A1.5 to come in mail today to finish the build.
With the sight and sling, total functioning firearm for $380 |
