Quote HistoryQuoted: I drove my truck on the highway at 80 mph without tearing apart the brakes first too. If you feel the need to have to have to take on the role of quality control because you can’t trust a company to catch basic issues that’s a sure sign you’re buying shit tier products. You don't test the brakes in the parking lot or driveway before you get to the highway? That's idiotic. Impossible. And idiotic. |

That tube looks like it's square cut, which means if it is given another turn in (minimum amount possible) the top may extend forward of the receiver and interfere with the upper receiver when trying to close up. Also, the buffer MAY also bottom out in the tube and still not let the bolt carrier back far enough to lock open. Or not, depends on the tube.

Well I have to say I was underwhelmed by PSA response,I just received the parts yesterday,I had already fixed it myself, that's it nothing else hell of a thing to buy a new gun that is screwed up and have to fix it yourself a $10 gift certificate or hell a written apology would have been nice

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought it would make a cheap truck gun, going to rethink that... dude it's not a big deal. just didn't screw in the buffer tube enough. I've done the same thing on my own gun. It's not a manufacturing defect or anything, more of an assembly/qc issue. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Unnecessary part that is detrimental to reliability. Just don’t use it. Without it there jamming it up the gun should run fine, just takes a bit more care field stripping. I have an Anderson lower that has gone unbuilt due to an out-of-spec buffer retainer location. That idea has never crossed my mind.

Yet another psa failure. Looks like a 2nd grader assembled the lower.
psa is bottom tier for a reason.. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are you using a standard length buffer or a longer pistol buffer? I can't quite tell from the photo. If you're using a standard length buffer without a spacer, you can get excess rear travel, which means higher impact against the buffer retainer. It does help if the retainer is fully captured by the buffer tube, too...  No, you're thinking bolt catch/LRBHO. |

5-10 min fox if you have the parts.
Contact PSA and they will find a way to make up for it. I had a broken trigger spring one time on a new FCG, they had me a new one in the mail pretty quick. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No matter who the manufacture is you should always field strip and inspect you firearm before firing. Every manufacture can make mistakes. They are mechanical devices made by humans. Errors are possible. First thing I do is check out everything and clean the machining grease off when I get home with a new gun. Glock is the only thing I would feel 99% confidence out the box but I'm still looking at those when I buy them. Half the reason is just checking out and fingering my new toy. But definitely a screwup with hundreds of lowers on the rack it's going to happen. With budget brands you are your own qc. |

I recently ordered a lower build kit with the A2 stock.
The kit was missing the takedown pins, no biggie but they responded immediately with a tracking number for the missing parts and asked for the QC number on my kit. So it looks like they are working to improve. I will say that the A2 stock felt cheap and was very gray and had gray film coming off with a paper towel. I was gonna eventually find a surplus A2 stock anyways but expected a little better. I can't complain too much overall, I know of probably 15-20 of these PSA kits that guys put together on Anderson lowers without issue. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Am I the only one who field strips and inspects every gun I acquire?  Every. Single. One. Bullets seem to prefer an unobstructed path before exiting firearms. I take simple measures to facilitate that preference.  Might as well take a quick look around while while I’m here.  Let’s shoot! |
