I'm guessing that, for example, PSA's and DPMS' A4 clones are pretty much identical as far as components?
Primary arms sends out this model dropped to $400 occasionally.

BCM upper with free BCG is tough to beat for the price.
Never in my life have I seen, let alone owned, an AR with a canted front sight and I got my first AR in 1981 and the high water mark of most ARs in my personal collection was something like 42 variants (it's now more like 20). Can't front sights are something I expect to occasionally encounter, but would never buy, on AKs back when they were $300.
We aren't a commie country where wonky sights are ok and scopes have reticles which travel all over the field of view. That crap is just unacceptable.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Agreed. Was the only AR I’ve ever seen that on. Of course we hear horror stories about bad QC with every manufacturer… but I was shocked with it as it is more common with imported AKs (my WASR is actually straight, as is my AK-P).
If I got a similar issue with the Colt, I’d be pissed… but what more can be done other than send it back? I wouldn’t have the conscience to pawn it off on someone else, unless they were fully aware of it. Only other gun I have with a FSB is my ADCO built NM A4 upper (traded it on my Tavor)… wouldn’t expect it on that.
But need to also consider that I paid $400 for that PSA pistol parts kit. Receiver… a few odds/ends (to include one of those retro H&R stocks) and a binary trigger… the gun is just a fun toy. Never an issue with any magazine dump or anything else. I understand that some people don’t have the disposable income as I do… so if it’s between a PSA and no gun… I rather the PSA (if they confirm it is good to go).
Putting the rounds thru it, I feel confident that after adjusting the FSB, it is good to go. Again, it’s not one that I’m going to run as a defensive gun… but wouldn’t hesitate if I needed to.

If it was me and they can't make it acceptable or replace it, refund my money.
I bought a Colt Hbar used on GB and it has some FTF issues that I just couldn't trouble shoot no matter what I checked. Sent it to Colt and it came back with a new upper. Keep in mind I was not the original owner.
It is possible to get a bad example of anything, the difference is how much the manufacturer gives a damn about what they send out.
Hearing about out of spec KAC receivers from other posters is mind blowing, I'd definitely be sending those to KAC for replacements.

This is why I like some companies more than others.
Yes I will pay a little more for that peace of mind.
That said I have purchased outside of that realm a lot recently because quite frankly I wasnt waiting for a restock notification.
Im still waiting on some places to restock some stuff and its been 3 years.
I gave up and moved on, if I have to replace it then that means im paying a little more again.
