PSA barrel in an Aero M5 upper?

[SteveinUT]

Hey all- I know there have been issues with incompatibility with PSA with regular DPMS pattern stuff, but I can across a deal on a PSA 6.5 Creed barrel that I'm considering for a build I'm doing. Any problems with a PSA barrel not working well with an M5 upper? 

Thanks!

I wouldn't think so but I have not ventured in the pa10 parts. I would like to have a head spaced bcg for it just to be safe. 🍻

The PSA barrel should be fine. You will need a dpms pattern BCG. You will need to check the gas system for length of gas tube and port size.

I had to physically fit one in an Aero M5 upper receiver, just to test the function of the complete PSA upper that I was looking at - I had to do this, because the PSA upper would not close and pin to the Aero M5 lower I was using for the test of that complete PSA upper. 

It fit in the M5 fine, the PSA BCG ran fine in there.  I ran it with no handguard at all, because I was looking at gas port sizing problems, and resizing as I went, until it ran correctly.

@SteveinUT, this is your answer.  He has done what you are asking about.
