Hello, Ive had a stripped lower now for a while that is begging to be built. I figure now with all the black Friday ads I may be able to save some money.

I was looking on PSA and found these:

http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/psa-m4-strikefire-premium-black-friday-upper.html

http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/palmetto-state-armory-enhanced-lower-build-kit-blk.html

How much would a bolt, charging handle, and BCG cost to complete the upper?

I would like to build this for the lowest amount possible as I would be using it just for some occasional plinking. For the upper I like the idea that it already comes with an optic, and that it also has the chrome lined bore and M4 feedramps.

Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Get it for your budget build.

Charging handles are a dime a dozen, so are stock BCG's.

+ 1 for Spikes BCG. ( Bolt & Carrier Group ) find one in stock and buy it

I've been happy with my PSA Black Friday upper from last year.

It's like we're all on the same page.  Literally.

I bought that exact upper on last year's Thanksgiving night.  Been thinking about picking up another to finish a build I started earlier this summer.  It's not exactly what I want, but I could always cannibalize it and swap stuff around, sell what I don't need.

I resisted the urge last week to buy that lower kit.  Was adding stuff up in my head and saw how inexpensive I could put another AR together.  My brain was overjoyed at the prospect of spending such small amounts, but my wallet took a stand and said no.

That being said.....

I should have 3 of those Spike's BCG arriving today from rogtac.com.  I used the code mentioned above.  Was just too good of a deal to pass up.  My wallet hates me for it too, LOL.

I have the BCM Mod 3 large on one of my builds and will probably be picking up one or two of the $26 training sample handles as well as the ambi Mod A44 handles.

I was just looking at that BCG...for a plinker, go for it!   For a primary defensive/HD rifle, I would want a bolt made of the milspec carpenter 158 material.

Thanks for the heads up. Picked the BCG up. $80 shipped for BCG w/ a 9310 bolt is nice.

OK so my cart on PSA timed out, is there any other sites offering flattop chrome lined barrels with m4 feedramps and an optic at a good price?
