Not the best deal but reakly only $10-$20 higher than the cheapest sale they have run in the last year so actually a good price. In 6 months those prices may seem like a dream.
Ya I saw those but I wanted a complete lower .

That is the second reason I bought now . I don't know that it will be 6 months before the prices go crazy . A Ban is coming for sure I don't think it will be overturned this time at least in my life time .

I hope an upper will be available when I have the money saved up

Keep us posted of your progress. I am sure there are enough parts here to build what you want when you are ready. I have some parts I am tweaking so let me know and I am sure we can work something out.

Thumbs up Got pieces ordered today

Got my upper and barrel along with a Boron BCG and charge handle ordered today . My lower DPMS came in Monday . Now a couple of mags and some 223 Dies and I'll be once again ready to blow some paper away . I will get a floating forearm later and upgrade the trigger . DPMS triggers are not the greatest .

Any who I'll get some pics when the stuff comes in . Not that it will be different than all the rest but it will be mine .

PSA 16" Mid-length Stainless 1:7 Freedom Upper - Without BCG or Charging Handle

PSA 5.56 Full Auto Nickel Boron BCG with Logo & PSA Premium 7075 T6 Forged Mil-Spec Charging Handle

Nice! So the DPMS lower is built? Or stripped?

Got my upper and stuff today. Very nice fit and finish to DPMS lower . The "Boron " finish on the bolt is slippery as heck .
Now I need to get that ugly front sight / gas block off . It is riveted on Guess I'll drill the rivets out and I hope it will slip off with out scuffing up the SS barrel .
I'll get some pics out in the next day or so .

I would rethink that if it is a CQB/HD weapon which is what mine is. BUIS are a must for that

Are you sure the FSB is riveted in place? I've got two PSA uppers with standard FSB/gas blocks, and they've got the correct pins.

I'll be removing one of the FSBs this week.

Here's a bit of info from someone that knows a thing or two on the subject.
