Looking at a stripped lower, heard anything good or bad?
Thanks |

This really only applies to CA builders, but I have had consistent issues with the dimensions of the magazine release relief cut. Standard mag release buttons don't have an issue but the CA "bullet buttons" require modification because they need to go all the way to the bottom of the relief cut. It appears the cut tapers down towards the bottom. I built about 6 and this seemed pretty consistent.
I've also found the anodizing to be somewhat thinner than spec. |

I bought a DSA stripped lower a year ago and finally got a PSA lpk along with a ALG combat trigger to build it. Started to install the mag release button and it would not fit into the slot. It wouldn't even start to go in. I ended up taking all of the coating off the mag release button using a fine bench stone and frequently checking for fit. The release button slowly started to fit in the slot. After an hour it finally fit and worked smoothly. Now the release button is bare aluminum on the sides. Every thing else went together fine Also the the trigger and hammer pins have a loose fit in the receiver holes. I wouldn't buy another one. |
| DSA won't have the ooooou aaaaaaah factor like a LaRue, Noveske or Mega, Not quite in the quality league with BCM, Spikes or Colt. Not a flavor of the week like SA&A, Aero, or PSA. But a reliable affordable stripped lower in the same class as DPMS, CMMG, Delton and hundreds of others. |
