    My last AR started out with one of their stripped uppers. It was in-spec, and I've no complaints with it.

    My personal experience with DSA is, that their products are good, but their customer service blows. 2-3 weeks shipping time, took 18 weeks, the LAST time I ordered something from them (2008).

    I wouldn't hesitate to buy their gear... from someone ELSE.

    You won't regret buying a PSA upper one bit.

    The definition of "mil-spec" is that all the parts will interchange with other "mil-spec" parts. BM claims to be "mil-spec" (FYI).

    I think the question you want to ask is; "Are they using parts that follow the TDP."

    This is from PSA's website......

    Barrel: A proprietary blend of Hammer forged chrome molly vanadium made by FN that is referred to as "Machine Gun Steel" by virtue of its use in FN's M249 and M240 weapons. The hammer forging process work hardens the steel, making it more durable. In addition, the chrome process for the bore allows for a lining almost twice as thick as a standard M16 for enhanced durability. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, with a 1/7 twist, M4 barrel extension, and a carbine gas system. M4A1 style profile is phosphate coated to mil-specs. Barrel is High Pressure tested, and Magnetic Particle inspected, to ensure quality and dependability, and is finished off with an F-marked front sight post with sling swivel, and A2 flash hider.

    Upper: Forged 7075-T6 A3 AR upper is made to MIL-SPECS and hard coat anodized black for durability. Featuring machined T marks, and a mil-spec finish. These uppers are made for us right here in the USA by a mil-spec manufacturer, and are marked with the Palmetto State Armory logo on the left side, up front, just below the rail.

    Bolt: Bolt is made of Mil-spec Carpenter 158 steel, Shot peened, MPI and HPT. Gas key is secured with grade 8 fasteners and staked per mil-spec. Bolt carrier is parkerized outside, chrome lined inside, and laser engraved with the Palmetto State Armory logo.

    Lower: These forged lowers are quality made using material is 7075-T6 and are marked "MULTI" for caliber. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Mil-spec-sized buffer tube has 6 adjustment positions, is finished with a Palmetto State Armory M4-style stock and has a staked castle nut. Standard carbine buffer is Black anodized and has the PSA logo on the face. The standard PSA combat trigger has a smooth pull and clean break.

    Depends on what you bought. I had some ammo cans and a stock kit in less than a week, and some lowers in 8 days. However, if you ordered an upper, you must have seen this (as it's in red letters on every upper page I've looked at on their website.)

    If you are on a $500 budget, how will you ever afford to shoot it? At a MINIMUM, get an m&p15 sport.
