That is a good price considering the LPKs normally go for about $70 alone. Couple that with one of the PSA blem, stripped uppers at $40 with a $100 SAA BCG, and you may be able to get away with $550 to $600 AR.

I'm looking forward to seeing the photographs. You do such a nice job with your projects and the photo documentation.

I don't know how quickly I'll be moving on this one.
I plan to enjoy the process of shopping for parts.
As this is one AR that I'm not completely sure exactly how it will end up.
But I am currently trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger on this part.


I've always disliked the whole 6+" buffer tube sticking out the back of an AR pistol.
Which may be why I love my PLR16 so much.


But when this 4" buffer is installed it changes the feel as well as the look of the traditional AR pistol.
So this is as far as I've gotten in my decision making process so far and still have yet to open my wallet & make the purchase.

Got most of what I want for the build.... So much for this lasting the winter!
So I just ordered another PSA lower kit ( now $109.99) .

I have it NIB & can't decide if I'll be using it or not.
I've been researching everything I can on it & it's said it works best on a pistol with a worn in / broke in BCG.
So I plan to use a standard buffer tube initially for a break in period.
I figure it'd be one less thing to check if there is any functioning issues on my initial trips to the range.

Well, I couldn't wait any longer. Patience isn't my strong suit.

Here's the "Blemished" PSA lower.
It's being kicked around that they are actually scratched on purpose to be sold as "Blem" lowers.
I say this because this is now the 5th lower that I have seen with a light scratch in that same location.
When the pistol grip is installed there are no imperfections visible.
I ordered another "blemished lower" from them the day I received delivery notification of this one, so we'll see if the theory hold water.

The vise block is a god send!
I'll never do it again without one!

I have plenty of the psa live fire experience have fired several uppers/lowers bcg's and parts kits. all very good no problems. Great stuff and great prices sometimes a little slow to ship but not bad. Sorry not speaking for grumpy just my .02 lol

I've not previously bought any of their lowers.
But they are well known and loved for their value on every rifle forum I've been on.
After years of focusing on pistols I have all the Sigs I want ( except for the X5 I'm drooling over & must have)!
So I shifted to rifles for now.
After a year & a 1/2 , some how 5 ARs have appeared in my safe.
The rifles are fun building, shooting & accessorizing but I wanted to build a pistol.
So after reading everything I could get my hands on concerning the AR platform in pistol form on the BATFE site & AR Forums, I realized to be completely safe I needed to start with a stripped lower for my future builds.
So enter the PSA deals that I've seen for years but never acted on....
The local Cop shop sells complete lowers for $275.
A PSA lower was $99 with parts kit ( minus the buffer assembly) for $75 a mil spec buffer assembly can be had.
Giving you a savings of $100 off the price of a lower. That's Win, Win for me!
****actually a commercial buffer assembly for pistol use can be had for $32 on Amazon, That's $143 less****
If you're leary of building one, check out YouTube!
Don't just watch the first assembly video you come across, watch a few of them.
There are a few out there that have some of the tips that make putting one of these together with few if any special tools.

That's really nice lookin GB!

its my understanding that a forward grip on a pistol is illegal or falls into AOW category. So can you put a bi-pod on a pistol? It would seem a good sling and something to hang on to would help when shooting an ar pistol.
