I too have spoken with PSA. It doesn't seem like many of their employees really know that much about their products - just hired hands to answer phones and process orders. Where did you hear that Midwest industry handguards are fragile? Curious. You may want to read these sites and blog series to learn a bit about optics before spending money there: http://opticsthoughts.com/?page_id=476 http://precisionrifleblog.com/2014/07/01/tactical-scopes-field-test-overview-rifle-scope-line-up/ http://www.shootingvoodoo.com/index.php/articles/ https://demigodllc.com/articles/practical-long-range-rifle-shooting-optics/

Whatever

98Z5V, Hey man, this is forum to bounce ideas off one another, and discuss a common interest. No need to get your panties all in a bunch. After all, I'm not "Peggy-Sue". LOL. Chill.

I was gonna get an SID upper. But as I said, I could get 2 matched PSA or AP sets for the price of one SID lower or upper.

I've got ab SI Defense lower, and am thinking of selling to get matched PSA forged set. That's why I asked

Do we know who makes psa receivers?

Ahh...thanks

ARF?

Ok, so let's say you're getting a LW barrel. Would you get the bolt they supply and head space to the barrel or send them a bolt to headspace? If you sent them one, what make would you choose and which materials?

What makes any one bolt better than another? Radical firearms, Alex precision arms, shadow ops, si defense, dpms? Etc...

Alright then. I might be selling a billet SI defense lower to get a psa or aero forged matched set...

What do you think of the aero or psa forged receivers?

Thanks for the replies. So, how does one assess if the machining was done well? And what makes one bolt better than another?

Alright, this topic has be hashed out before on AR15 threads, but not so much in the 308 world. It's been said "Billet for accuracy, and forged for durability". But we've seen lots of concepts shattered of late. We now know reliability is more about springs and ejectors, than Di vs. piston, or how well lubed the gun is. The barrel length argument is being challenged every day (that is, unless you are shooting a 32" from a flying horse - LOL!) Etc Here's the question: All things being equal, will it affect accuracy or functionality at all? Given the following: You've got a excellent barrel (LW, Fulton, Bartlein, etc) Great trigger (SSA-E, Wilson, AR Gold, etc) Tight build/assembly Good ammo (match or handloads for what your rifle likes best) We are awaiting reports on the new PSA or Aero Precision Forged receiver sets to see how well they build, how tight they fit, etc. I ask this since I've got some billet and forged receivers and would rather sell the billet if it makes no difference since I can get a whole forged set for the price of one billet lower. I'd like to save money for the parts that matter (mentioned above). What say y'all?

Yeah, the Horus concepts really seem to make holding over (or under in the case of not having to dial up) that much easier. It's the whole concept that Todd Hodnett seems to emphasize at Accuracy First.

Just got to look though this one next to a S&B, Vortex PST, and a Bushnell HDMR, side-by-side. This one really stood out: http://www.kahles.at/kahles-united-states-of-america-usa/products/k624i/k624i/ I'd love to see it next to this new Vortex and the up-coming Tanget Theta (reworked Premier)

Cool, thanks.

http://fd-defense.com/ Looks like some serious thinking goes into their builds. Impressive caliber options too. Anyone know more about them or their rifles?

Do you think their buffer extension tube is like a Vltor 6 position?

Owl21 - keep us posted on the Givati and how it functions - thanks.

Wow - just looked that up - looks like quite a deal! Looking forward to what you find...

Drool....Not sure if you've seen this series of testing : http://precisionrifleblog.com/2014/07/01/tactical-scopes-field-test-overview-rifle-scope-line-up/ We were hoping he'd include your scope, but they weren't available at the time. He may to a second round including the new Gen IIs, plus Tangent Theta (Premier) and maybe other S&B's. Amazing rig you've got. Looking forward to some range reports!

I believe we are here to contribute and support one another in a common interest. Pegasus, your motivation for participating in this thread is unclear. I do not wish to begin any sort of argument here, just continue the friendly interaction that is daily fare on his forum. I will not respond to any derogatory remarks. I respectfully ask that you give the same courtesy to others as they have shown you. If not, will the moderator please close this thread?

Can you elaborate and give examples (measurements) of bullet lengths that you feel work best with certain twists then?
