I wonder if its a FN only thing or what. should be interesting to see if someone with the FNAR's can drop in or not. |

A build kit for under $ 600 for Xmas - I wish  saw a built nobo on facebook yesterday for 800. had the Marpat magpul stock set. |

Ouch that's quite a price tag.... If I didn't blow my tax check already I would be tempted .
Easter sale bit me bad; I had to get a new PA15 stripped for my m4a1 build. PSA has got to do one for Hillary if she gets the Democratic ticket. Consider it equal opportunity lol. The fire selection could read Willie, Call at 3 am, and Benghazi  .

LW may be finishing both forgings but the PA is different for sure. The edges are sharper and not as rounded off. Also the hole for trigger guard roll pins are not centered on nub there so swapping out a after market trigger guard will be risky as there isn't much material left to support you tapping the roll pins.

Ooofff! Those trigger guard holes are really off. That's going to tear the hell out of your second finger. I don't think an Ergo gapper would even help it.
Mag well is one thing, that triggger guard ear holes are another. Must be a Friday or Monday lower. I think I would be calling PSA on that one. I'm sure they will change it out and make it right. [ETA] They might see it on here and respond. Or IM them also seems quickest. Just my two cents. Good Luck. me |

Yes LW's were in store as recent as thursday last week (my last time in store) At this time i am not sure if PSA is going towards PA or SC marked Lowers more than the LW's, and is going to fade the LW's out, or if they will continue and the PA's and SC's are just limited run lowers. Blems should be LW's unless its marked as a special lower like an American Hero series, or a Stealth, or a FN made SC lower. |

if anyone has a good stock style photo of the PSA Vietnam Lower, i'd appreciate it so i can add it to the page again.. PSA removed theirs so my link went dead.

| The shield is the patch that the SC National Guard uses...but I have never seen that lower either. Serial number is real low, perhaps that was indeed one of the firsts? A prototype? Does it have a low or high shelf? |

I've fixed the display so it shows here in forum.. judging by the way they look id think the lower to be a fake.. i.e. home made. The only hope we can have though for a definitive answer is to have someone from PSA (the rep) chime in here with any info they care to share. |
| It is mine, I bought two of them off of gunbroker the picture just showed a regular lw one for the auctions. When I opened the boxes after I picked them up I was kind of surprised that they looked they way they did and had my suspicions about them. Hopefully they aren't and its some weird off the wall way early production but I kind of doubt it. Hopefully PSA will shed some light on it. |

I have never seen these before, so thank you for shwoing them to us.. I hope PSA will chime in soon. |

Those are unauthorized copies of PSA lowers, and not very good ones at that. The logo is distorted, like it was stretched vertically, and lacks detail.
We have no idea what these are made of, whether they are in-spec or even safe to shoot. If you see any more like this please let us know. |
