Just an FYI the Odin Works DPMS Low Handguard is a perfect match for the PSA upper receiver. I have looked everywhere for one that would match up and the Odin is perfect.
No I didn't take pics, but maybe I'm wrong. I took the lapping tool and started lapping the front of the receiver and there were several high spots and wouldn't that mean it wasn't true? I'm a novice at building these things, so that's why I'm asking you? I will say this maybe it needs broken in, but my cheap PSA will out shoot it as of now.
I will give Aero credit though and that is that there is zero slop between the receivers. I shot it today and it shoots under a inch moa at a hundred so I am pleased with it and I have no regrets with it.
I would have thought the same thing about accuracy until I lapped my PSA receiver and it went from a 2&1/2 inch group to under a inch, so I will lapp every receiver that I buy from now on.
I just put one together over the weekend with the same results. The barrel wasn't dimpled for the the gas block, the barrel nut was hand tight and couldn't be timed without shims. The receiver was so out of specs that it probably wouldn't have hit paper, so I lapped it.
Guys I put together a Aero Precision AR308 over the weekend and honestly PSA came in better shape than the Aero. The barrel nut was was torqued to maybe 5lbs.and the upper receiver was so untrue that it was ridiculous, plus the barrel wasn't dimpled for the gas block. I lapped the receiver and put some barrel nut shims in it to get it timed and I will give you a range report. So far my decision is to just save money and keep buying PSA.
Man I have purchased 4 PSA's two AR pistols and two PA10 308's. The first PA10 308 gen2 is a tack driver, but the Gen3 needed a little work to be accurate, but all of them have been flawless. I am putting together a Aero Precision at the moment and I will compare it to the PSA's.
