    This is why I asked if he measured it. Claim could also be correspondence between PSA and himself or others.

    IG I measured PSA 16" HF M/L last summer when I took off the FSB(.750") to shave down. It measured .078" with a pin gauge. I recently removed a FSB off a new 16" Bushy pins were the easiest I have removed. I was shocked when I measured the gas port with a pin gauge it was .063". Staking in the BCG was excellent.

    I have ordered from PSA at least a dozen times, 3 weeks is the minimum I have waited to receive my order. 4-5 weeks has been the most common. One order took 8 weeks. None were back orders, either.

    PSA has some really good deals, and I will continue to give them some of my business, but fast shipping, at least in my dealings with them, is not a strong point.

    The barrel, OP can correct me if I'm wrong, belongs to this type of upper:

    Correct. The barrel is a FN manufactured CHF cmv barrel.

    Well first off there is no claim as to port size. Second, the rifle functioned flawless so there was no reason toinspect the port. I have not had anybody at PSA state a size of port to me. From the way the rifle functions I would assume that the port is fine.
