    Oh my, gives new meaning to "free floating!" Maybe it's the free shipping they offer on their kits that keeps them going out the door.

    My original build used one of their "complete uppers"...found out the hard way that they left POS out of the middle of that. Slowly every part of the rifle was replaced.

    Here are a couple of the pics of the issues that I had with their "quality". They claim to only use new parts. Mine was a 16" FF quad rail upper with a clamp on gas block. Remove the gas block and I find this



    Those are two severely buggered up FSP pin slots right next to the gas port. On the other side you could see where the original gas port was welded in.

    There was also a deep groove in the chamber and the rail was far from tight when I got it. I also had to do my own milling because there was meat left on the rear takedown pin ear on the upper and it wouldn't fit in a lower. Seen here post op. It wasn't a sharp 90 angle out of the bot, it was a rounded corner.



    Because I "fixed" that issue myself (in their words "modified") they would not warranty the POS.

    I am a million times happier with my rifle now.
