That sucks about the LPK. Hope you get it sorted out. When you say "gonna go down to Primary", do you mean Primary Arms? Man, it would be bad news for my wallet and marriage if I lived close to their retail store! If you've already got a Raptor CH, I feel like you're set in that department. As far as the barrel, I had actually looked at a Freedom SS barreled upper when contemplating a budget build, but ended up changing gears and building an AR Pistol instead. For the money, it's not a bad choice. A friend of mine has a rifle with a traditional profile SS Freedom Mid-Length. It's been reliable and shoots pretty well. I haven't heard much about their pencil profile, but would be interested to know how it runs when you get it hot, and how quickly it heats up. The PSA freedom line is their "value", middle of the road series. IIRC, the barrels from their Premium line are made by FN. They're a little more tight lipped about the Freedom line, but Wilson Arms (not Combat) seems to be the most frequently suggested supplier. But I'm not sure that's ever been confirmed. For $119 bucks, it doesn't seem like a bad deal. If you want reviews, there is a complete barreled upper they're selling that appears to have the same barrel.

Keep us posted and let us know what the trip to Primary yields.

I did not know the man quoted above, and joined this Forum after his passing. He seemed to be a leader of men; both spiritually and physically. Someone we'd all be proud to emulate.
