Picked up a stripped PA10 lower from my FFL this morning. It took one week from ordering to arriving there. The receiver looks good. It's lacking the "shelf" of other DPMS pattern lowers, so it looks more streamlined.
I had an LR-308 lower parts kit and polished mil-spec trigger on hand from "another company". Everything went together without any trouble. My SR-25 PMags drop free and my DPMS branded stripped upper fits well, although snug, which is good. I put on a generic receiver extension and MOE rifle stock. Looks slick. Upper build will continue at a later date. Good receiver at a fantastic price point. This should allow a lot more people into the larger cartridge market. Thanks PSA! |

Everyone on the forum is stating the PSA receivers require longer pins? |

The take down pin sticks out on each side. Probably made with a "shelf" lower in mind. The pivot pin sticks out a little on the "fat" side. Both are perfectly functional as is. I can post pics later for clarity.
I've had the LBK for about a year. A quick search of the web site doesn't show the kit any more. They still sell 308 stuff, so a quick call my clarify availability. The kit is still available on their web site. PM me if you are interested in this supplier. I have no affiliation with them. ETA: photos (sorry, I'll try to get my feet in the next set) Pivot Pin. Actually, this is perfect. It sticks out a little on the left, otherwise it would hit the receiver and not seat. It fully engages the receiver. 
Takedown pin. 
DPMS upper.
