Don't mean to upset you.
But the finish of the PSA Upper and CMMG lower will not match.
CMMG lowers are teflon coated, PSA Uppers and lowers like most high-end AR products are not teflon coated.

Careful with these PSA guns, the reproduce pretty quick.

That doesn't bother me, as long as it shoots reliably I can deal with the finish not matching.
If it doesn't look good, then that will just give me an excuse to build another one!

10.5" kit delivered this afternoon...




This is my first PSA rifle. I got the lower on Monday and have been anxiously waiting since. The LPK went in easier than any other build I've done yet.

My only gripe-  



and yes I know 'it's a tool...blah blah blah...        -disregard the sloppy color fill

oh yeah...it's over 26" long, so the vtg is gtg.

Only other things I have planned for this one are:

Well I ordered my very first AR a few days ago from Palmetto. It was one of the complete ones, the PSA 14.7'' HF Mid MOE Rifle w/pinned A2, with Flat Dark Earth Magpul gear. Can't wait to get it!

Of course I will have some shots posted, ordered a Primary Arms M3 red dot, and a Magpul MOE vertical grip as well. Now I need to order some damn ammo.

Yup exactly the same lol. Almost got all black, but what's the fun in that.

I built a similar one.  i bought the 2554 kit intending to use it on an old pre-ban lower i had, but ended up ordering a PSA lower.  all black Magpul furniture.  Slapped an EOTECH on it with a gen1 magpul rear buis, the sling attachment is a quick detach from Noveske. stuck my TLR-3 light on it to see how it would work (not bright enough for me, going to get a brighter light).
going to build a dedicated .22LR for my daughter on another lower and will be anxiously waiting for PSA to release their .300BLK upper to build on my new PSA upper coming tomorrow.

last pic before i sold it to get one with a lowprogasblock

I just got a stripped upper yesterday to go with a lower that I bought last year during their fathers day sale. I have to admit, when I first opened it I wasn't very impressed. It actually looked very dry and very off in color from my lower. However, I hit it with some EWL and it looks much better. The fit is nice and tight, although the back, where it meets the buffer tube, isn't fitted perfectly, but it cycles fine. Here is a pic:

By the way, did you shave down the FSB?
Or did you order the upper with a low profile gas block directly from Palmetto?
Thanks!

I shaved it down with a dremel tool, took about 30 mins. My upper to lower finish is perfect. I did subdue my PSA logo on the upper, I ordered the upper about one month before my Stripped Lower. Finish is great, I could not be happier.

First one is an Armalite factory lower with Ranier arms billet upper with PSA barrel, bcg, etc. With Troy rail, stock, BUIS...


Second one is PSA LPK, and complete upper with MI rail and Nikon M223 2-8 glass.



Only have around 1000rds total from both but all I can say is for the money (or any price really), you cannot beat PSA!

The FDE AR above has seen -10F to 95F and been run relatively hard through some run and gun stuff in those temperatures and has yet to hickup.

The lower AR shoots around 1.5 MOA 3 shot group at 100 with Fiocchi 75gr match and RRA 2 stage match trigger. That is from a rack grade carbine upper! No not every group is that small, but they are rarely above 2 MOA.

Keep up the good work PSA!
