    Buy Em Cheap and Stack em Deep

    This is even more important for those about to have a ban go into effect later this year.

    PSA has Built Lowers for $199. You cannot even build them this cheap using decent parts.

    No one can bitch durring the next ban/runup that they didn't have a chance to buy a few more.

    What if I want an actual mil-spec receiver extension and an H buffer?

    Does PSA ever let you pay a little bit more for an upgrade instead of paying for parts I don't want and then replacing them later?

    "Milspec diameter" IS NOT milspec. It is simply the same diameter as milspec.

    That's why they don't simply call it milspec, and that is why they don't list what it is made from. Because I guarantee it's 6061 or similar, and not the 7075 that is milspec.

    Please read more carefully.

    I have asked them about this before, the only true mil spec 7075-t6 buffer tube is their premium tube.

    And it makes shit for difference. People are here splitting hairs. I have cheap $40 Milspec buffer kits all the way to the system on my SR15/SR25, and they all work.

    I post a deal and you guys are bitching about something that doesn't even matter.

    Read less and shoot more. You might be suprised by what you will find out.

    Show me an instance where the use of a 7000 series Alum would have made a difference vs a 6000 series alum..................

    I did read carefully. on their site they list two Mil Spec Diameter RE, one 7075 and one 6061, both 6 position.

    how is it you know which one is included?..

    I'll PayPal you $15 if the 7075-T6 RE is the one included in the product listed in the OP.

    Get PSA to tell us which one it is.

    There is a reason they say what they do. That is not the mil-spec receiver extension.

    It shouldn't be a big deal, just tell customers up front exactly what it is that is being sold. Simple as that.

    All I wanted to know was if anybody knows if PSA lets you choose to pay more to substitute on products like that for people who might want the "premium" 7075 tube and an H (or H2 or whatever) buffer.

    But according to some people full disclosure and options seems to be a bad thing because apparently there's no way that anybody who wants an H buffer and 7075 RE is concerned with actually shooting.
