Help with a very common across the shooting forums question...

[bfoosh006]

What lowers do the PSA uppers fit ?  DPMS ? SR25 ? etc....

This is such a common question., across numerous forums.... I am requesting everyone that shoots at a local range, and has a DPMS .308 and / or a PSA PA10 GenII or GenI, and see someone with the other upper / lower ... please go over and ask to see if your uppers will interchange.

PSA isn't going to help ( that is their prerogative ) ... so maybe with all of us together we can figure it out.

If you do get a chance to try swapping uppers....Please note the specific brand / model lower and upper. And report it here.

Thanks ahead of time.

  PSA .  Not sure of the new second gen. but they have a lot of proprietary components & some fitment issues have been reported . I always recommend on the 308AR platform , to use the same Manufacturers Upper & lower Receivers & now maybe even the same Generation Receivers . 

   Look around , there are several; Builds where someone mated DPMS Uppers or Lowers with PSA & Had issues .

I've been researching the same question. I'm in Kali and a stripped lower from PSA is currently $80. BUT after $50 for a background check and new safety card, plus $50-100 to the FFL transfer fee, and other things, it's $225 by the time I get it home.

There must be somebody out there that has a complete PSA rifle and has access to another brand of lower to see if it works....

Does anyone else notice the pages are really slow to load? Is the forum sending tracking software and other gifts? I'm using the Brave browser to specifically stop that kind of stuff. I'm used to the Calguns forum where it loads within a second or two, here it's like 7+ seconds.

 I don't have an issue with loading these pages , I'm on a Mac .

I went back to regular Firefox, as that Brave browser didn't work at all for me.

50 dollars for a background check? Safety card? 50-100 dollars for ffl transfer fee? Good grief they're raping you guys over there. Where I live there is no fee for a background check. My ffl does charge 30 to do the transfer. With my LTC card, license to carry card, they don't even do the full background check. I'm out of there in less then five minutes. I'm glad I don't live in a state that restrictive. I feel for you guys.

I was looking at another forum's industry section, and the PSA rep was asked if a DPMS style lower would work with a PSA GEN 2 upper.

PSA replied there are 3 styles of DPMS uppers, that only the latest one has the correct height for the buffer tube and rail. This was a 8 month old response.

That's the first time I've seen somebody from PSA actually state if there is something else that will work with their uppers.

Of course the problem is how to identify the last style, I've been looking and nobody is posting anything like a blueprint of the lower they're selling. If I was selling an 80% lower, I'd sure get my hands on as many uppers as I could and see what works and what doesn't. Then the customer could have some assurance it's a go....
