It appears that UPS hired some more drivers because my PSA upper arrived about 6 hours early.
As you can see in the photos, PSA does an exceptional job of securing the product and they double boxed the whole thing.
Upon first inspection.... Excellent fit and finish. It really looks good. The bolt assembly is marked with the PSA logo and it is definately properly staked. I tried to get some photos of the feed ramp, but my lighting isn't very good. They appear to be perfectly aligned.
I attached the PSA to the SPIKES and the fit is very good. Not too tight, and not at all too loose. I cycled a few rounds from a P-Mag without a hitch in either feeding or ejecting. The P-Mag falls freely when the release is pushed.
Admittedly, I won't get to the range until tomorrow, but so far, this rifle appears to be as good, if not better, than any other AR15 I've owned. Bar none.
When I'm done, I'll have about $800 in the total assembly, including a DD1.5 rear sight and a few other touches. I'll post a complete price breakdown after the range tomorrow. I really like this rifle.

This is the rifle the Dissipator is replacing. It is a mint early production SP2. I really don't want to use it as a shooter and the Dissy is a perfect replacement.
