I just bought this upper. http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-m4-carbine-5-56-nato-1-7-nitride-13-5-keymod-freedom-upper-with-bcg-ch-516444561.html
It will be here tomorrow. I am curious if anyone has any information on the barrel manufacturer or range reports. It is going on a PSA lower and MOE LBK. I also have the ATN xsight to mount for this winters coyote night hunt. Then swap it out for a Votex red dot or possibly a nikon 3x9. So any heads up on this upper would be great. Thanks, AL |

I take that as PSA manufactures this particular barrel then?
I have had nothing but good luck with the 4 or 5 other barrels or uppers from PSA. A ss freedom, a premium m4 type and even a couple ptac uppers. If this shoots as well as the freedom upper I got from you all I will be thrilled. AL |

Upper came today. Looks great love the 13.5 mlok rail. Weighs in at about 4.2# with bolt and charging handle. Can't wait to put the lower together and try it out. Was hoping for some heads up on ammo preferences and a previous range report from somone. I know barrels are all different for ammo preferences but sometimes you can save time and money with a heads up.

| I built this same rifle for myself and a friend of mine so that makes two of them. Both shoot well zero failures but only about 500 rounds through each. I built mine to slap a scope on and hunt boar. You said you liked the m-lok rail but the link is to a keymod rail not m-lok so keep that in mind when and if you go to buy accessories for it as they are two different things. |

Oops wrong link. I have the mlok rail. I just don't like the prices on the mlok accessories. Fit and finish is fine on this upper and pmc bronze shot a 1.5 inch group of the back of my truck with the ATN xsight that is a slightly less than precise reticle. I will try it out with a better optic and ammo soon enough. I think it will shoot close to MOA with good rest and regular optic.
