What's the difference between the PSA and Sabre M16A4 lowers? https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-15-m16a4-stripped-lower-receiver.html https://palmettostatearmory.com/sabre-15-m16a4-stripped-lower-receiver.html Aside from the UID sticker on the Sabre, both are marked the same. Older thread here says the Sabre is a high-shelf lower. Is that still accurate? How often does the PSA version come back in stock? |

| I deliberately placed an order for one of these on the non-blem option, opting to pay more. Instead received a blemmed lower with a crooked sticker. Great job PSA, 0/10 do not recommend, I think their rebranding to Sabre was intended to permanently raise the price floor on these more govt. clone-esque lowers, and instead it's just a money grab power move. |

So was it a low shelf blem or a high shelf blem?  I went ahead and ordered one. At the very least, a cartridge-style FRT will still work if it's a high shelf, but I'd prefer to use a different one. @PalmettoStateArmory |

Definitely will fit a FRT. Originally Posted By PalmettoStateArmory: I just sent you a PM. Apologies on the issue. I will get you taken care of. Josiah Thank you, just replied and thank you for taking care of this so diligently...so I would recommend this I think!

Definitely will fit a FRT. Sweet, thanks. Hope that's what I get. My older PSA lowers are high shelf, but all of my newer H&Rs are like you describe. Glad I was able to call Josiah's attention to your issues.
