    Yes, I'm picky.
    You don't have to be 21 to order a complete lower (FYI). 18.

    Picky is not the correct work. It starts with the letter "A" and sounds like ANAL.

    Never mind, I mixed ARs and 1911s. I understand this is about ARs so I removed my comments.

    What about PSA? I was thinking about going with an upper and lower from them as my first AR.

    I see alot of hate towards DPMS, but its mainly towards there uppers and BCG..

    what about there lowers? what in general is bad about those? I got my entire for the price of a lower so i got a DPMS as it was somewhat cheap but not the cheapest.

    DMPS has poor quality control. Their lower parts usually have fire control pins that break. A lower receiver is not a big deal as long as it is in spec and all the hole line up.

    seems to be good so far, havent had any issues with it. now, assuming i swapped the fire control pins out, would my lower be...."acceptable"?

    PSA seems to be good to go. They use FN parts. They're a bit too new to give a positive thumbs up just yet. In my opinion.

    I know it is. I was just saying that his CS is so good with them and I was wondering why it's not as good for his AR sector. I'll just get a LaRue
