    Great job - your victory at using the internet means you get to win twice - the next time you take it out and shoot it. As long as you didn't wind up with the ST-2 buffer (they're slightly problematic with some setups in my experience) you'll be golden.

    My exact thoughts. Irrelevant analogy.

    Had I knew about PSA before either Colt or BCM, I'd probably wouldn't own them. Not that PSA is better in quality than those two iconic companies, but for less of a price you're getting something pretty damn good. Since I've got several complete builds from PSA, I just have this advice: make sure you order their premium parts. And for the record, 'build to their specifications' is just a marketing ploy that sounds cooler than saying we have our own personal roll marks on the parts that were actually manufactured by FN. If you know how to shop, and know what to look for, go PSA- you won't go wrong, and you will have a build that will be every bit as good as the more expensive route. If you don't want the hassle involved with that, then eliminate the guess work, and just go with BCM.

    He already bought an upper. No reason to prop up your choice in assembler.

If you don't want to go through the hassle of PSA's online/customer deficiency, then I suggest going to BCM.
