Welcome back.

If you go with what heavy buffers recommends you should be good to go.

Just try it before you start changing parts. You will probably need the buffer you linked and a Springco orange spring. You may need to also drill out the gas port. Most PSA's also have a gas tube that is a bit short. The PSA rifle I bought had a rifle stock so that recoil system was good to go. I did replace the gas tube w/the proper length tube from Armalite. I also changed to a carbine stock and used Armalite's buffer tube and buffer w/Armalite's spring. See if it works first. Lots of lube on the bolt carrier group.

This could get good.

Semiautos need crimped. Neck tension is for bolt guns etc. Your bullets will set back in the magazine while you are shooting a semiauto if you don't crimp them. That's why most of us use the Lee factory crimp die.

Good to hear.

Yes it's long. The last hour or so is the best parts.

Somewhere on the web or at Colt there is a list by serial number of when the rifles were made. Made before x date is preban.

Your buffer is too light weight wise. The Armalite kit is longer w/a longer and heavier buffer. https://www.armalite.com/SACItem.aspx?Item=AR10REKIT01&ReturnURL=/Armalite/Product-Category/AR10-Parts-Accessories&Category=4eeff98b-d9a6-40fd-be6b-ab2e44ec1080 Heavy buffers.com also sells a buffer and spring that works in the 7" tubes. https://heavybuffers.com/ar10carbine.html

Shouldn't matter a bit. As long as the gas port is the proper size and the gas tube protrudes into the upper the proper amount.

Nice sunset

If LaRue recommends a KAK upper they sell those stripped. https://www.kakindustry.com/lr-308-parts/308-upper-parts/308-kak-stripped-upper

Welcome from KY.

How about some pics. Distance center to center of the lugs the pins go through.

Before I had my cataract removed I used Crimson Trace laser grips on my carry gun. Couldn't see the sights well but I could see the red dot on the target.

You posted this in one place already. Once is enough.

Great to hear it's running now.

Another vote for the LaRue.
