It'll work just fine but I'd hold out for a nitride barrel around the same price

Local gunsmith told me that PSA was selling uppers (less bolt) that won't headspace. I haven't been able to verify that but he said he's seen 6 in the past year. Now I won't buy an upper (or barrel) unless it comes with a tested bolt.

that's bullshit, I have had probably 10 different PSA uppers, Freedom, Premium, CHF etc. All of them bought without a BCG and non of them have ever failed headspace. Also if there is an issue with it PSA will make it right. Local gunsmith is full of shit. |

I'll second this, I've had 6 PSA uppers that all headspace fine (all bought at different time periods). PSA has had some issues over the years, but nothing as serious as that. Local gunsmith is full of shit. but after building maybe 15? ar's i have never had a barrel/bolt not head space. |

I have that exact upper minus the handguard. I think I paid $200 for it shipped a long time ago and I thought it was a great deal. The upper groups surprisingly well. I'm running a Toolcraft Nib BCG and have at least 1500 rounds through it. I rarely shoot it anymore.

+1 personally I'd go with THIS only $30 extra for a magpul flip up (which you'll want for you SS one anyways and it's the MOE handguard or if you're stuck on that $169.99 price the nitride ones go in stock for that price all the time. |

I would hold out for one of these when they go back on sale for 189.99 to 199.99 (will have to log in for sale price when they are on sale). They go on sale frequently.
DSGArmsUpper I bought one and it is a great upper for the money. The fit and finish is second to none and with the quality barrel they use, the accuracy is well above a psa. |
