mge_1 2 Posted December 6, 2013 Was thinking the same. Does the brake needs to be replaced? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLugNutZ 21 Posted December 6, 2013 wow that is awefully cheap... what gives? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwamp2006 1 Posted December 6, 2013 Good quality, although barrel isn't chrome lined. Flash suppressor and bayo lug need to be removed, and brake or comp pinned and welded on.... I just got my upper yesterday from PSA which I ordered wed. last week during the big BF sales, so shipping speed was great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just got my upper yesterday from PSA which I ordered wed. last week during the big BF sales, so shipping speed was great. Thinking of buying this as well. May I asked where you brought yours for the brake or comp pinned/welded? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jm1827 284 Posted December 30, 2013 This does sound too good to pass up...I may have to start my first build Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mge_1 2 Posted December 30, 2013 These sales actually got me to do my first build. Picked up a spikes lower from MonmouthArms and picked up the lower parts kit from PSA as well. Now just trying to figure out what to do with the upper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jm1827 284 Posted December 30, 2013 The only thing slowing me down is all the Christmas bills, otherwise I would have ordered something already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwamp2006 1 Posted December 30, 2013 No the one I ended up buying was the PSA premium upper with Strikefire optic, It was $369 during their black Friday sale. hopefull they are still running these kinds of deals in a month or two because I have a second build I'd like one for....

Barms 98 Posted December 31, 2013 I posted a couple of weeks ago that I was wondering why like 75% of offerings I see now say "blemished". I am 100% convined now that blemished is a strategic business strategy because they can sell stuff at a lower price but you are not allowed to return it. Basically it assures that all sales are final which in the retail world is like printing gold. (and before any reputable dealers here flame me I'm sure there are a fair amount of great quality parts that get offered as blemished, what I really mean is that when I see 75% of listings from a company and they are always blemished something smells rotten. But actually it's retail genius if you think about it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david8613 69 Posted January 3, 2014 Do these uppers have to be shipped to an ffl or can you just get them shipped straight to your home? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polak 3 Posted January 3, 2014 Do these uppers have to be shipped to an ffl or can you just get them shipped straight to your home? They can go straight to your home...a firearms is considered the part with the Serial number. Anything else is just parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea what page the important stuff is on? edit: looks like page 8 has a nice barrel pic.. Man i need to go home to check mine now. I hope its ok, i have had it for over a year so i doubt they would do anything about it anyway.. I think mine was the Spikes complete upper, so i dont think it was the same barrel....
