    I got one in a few days ago, the trigger has creep,and is gritty, the trigger guard roll pin was out of spec (diameter too big), and the pistol grip screw was missing. I'm going with DD next time, their trigger was very good with my last kit.

    Oh and my lower was a PSA... I'm surprised we haven't heard a bunch of new guys breaking ears off with these large trigger guard roll pins.

    PSA is local to me so I buy from their retail outlets (mainly ammo and a few odds and ends). They used to do some of the gun shows around here too.

    I built a PSA lower using a PSA LPK last year for my old man for his birthday. Assembly was unremarkable (i.e. no issues with parts or assembly). He has since topped it with a PSA 16" Midlength upper, and after a few minor teething issues (mainly attributed to his lack of proper lubrication and operation) the weapon has operated without failure.

    He probably only has a few hundred rounds through the carbine and is just a bench plinker, but it has proven a good value for him. My father did experience some of their no infamous customer service when purchasing the upper though. I personally believe they are growing too much too fast and their CS is a result.

    I've got son #2 on the way, and have considered picking up a couple of lowers for the both of them to put away and build with them when they are older. That said, I probably wouldn't top them with PSA uppers or buy one of their complete rifles just due to the other high quality offerings currently available.

    PSA definitely leaves some to be desired in the trigger dept.
    Experience is what you get... When you don't get what you want.

    Does it matter if you get one of their MOE LPK's with the ACT?

    Thanks

    I installed a PSA kit in one of my lowers and it's got one of the best feeling GI triggers that I have seen. I do agree that the roll pins were a pain in the ass to get in but other than that the LPK has been working perfectly fine. As for PSA's customer service, I have had nothing but good experiences with them.

    I don't blame you one bit, I'm sure I would feel the same way if I had two bad experiences with a company.

    You seem to be the exception, it took me several weeks to get an order straightened out. I hope they fix these issues, their prices are great.
