cwikjr Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Welcome from Indiana brother.At least with the previous info you can avoid some of the problems. Not sure of that doesn't sound like the PSA upper is going to work with my LR-308 style lower... PSA says they will work others say different... Have to wait a couple more days to find out... I may have jumped the gun so to speak when I ordered the upper... I have a Jack Squats puzzle piece lower I could use and adjust the height of the buffer tube if thats the problem with PSA matching up to LR-308 lowers... Time will tell...

cwikjr Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Received my upper yersterday from PSA and it will not work with the LR308 lower... Carrier sits to low in the upper and hangs up on the buffer tube and mags won't seat... PSA offered a full refund it's getting sent back today...

Robocop1051 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 And another one bites the dust... no fault of yours brother. PSA dropped the ball on their end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Good info! I suppose the PSA 308 parts have to be bought as a matching set (i.e. upper and lower) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamO Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Man.. I'm sorry it didn't work out. PSA needs to get their poop in a group with this one... I don't think I've read of one build on here involving PSA (of the 3 or so total that is) that hasn't been somehow problematic. Maybe it's better with a matching set as Shib says. IDK... Don't think I'd be first in line to grab a set after the stuff I've read so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igofast Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 If it's just the upper that is giving fits, get one direct from DPMS, it's cheaper and free shipping even if you need to pay tax: http://www.dpmsinc.com/308-Upper-Receiver_p_2180.html http://www.dpmsinc.com/308-A3-Receiver-Stripped_p_257.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going out monday to be assembled by a local smith... That was my plan A... PSA's price was right I just wish it would have worked... I'll post some pics when i get it back...

You could get a set and tell us how it goes by beta-testing it for PSA. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 PSA is the new CMMG.... LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hey... watch the name calling. PSA had a good run on AR15 parts for a long time. On the other hand, a CMMG trigger guard roll pin will actually fukc up your whole rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree very much about PSA's AR15 stuff, they're great people overall anyways, probably just one of those 'birthing issues' that companies go through with new products like this.

I early-adopted the Aero Precision M5 stuff. (Which is GTG BTW) ;) Edited October 11, 2014 by AdamO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterCylinder Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I thought long and hard about PSA, and want to try a dirt cheap AR15 build. All the research I've done points to conflictions with DPMS and others. I'm very curious how a matched set will be. Want to build a blemish gun for the pops. He wont shoot it enough to notice,, "so cold I know" but would be doing back flips when he gets it. That being said hope your build comes together with less pain then you've been having! Where in MN are you? Lots of guys on here from AZ nice to see a fellow Minnesotan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Aero Precision... High quality at extraordinarily low prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
