And here it is:
It's a PSA mid-length dissipator upper on an Anderson lower. The lower was so easy to assemble, I feel like kicking myself for not having done it sooner. While I really like irons, my eyes don't care for them much anymore, and most RD sights are a PITA to use with my astigmatism. The TA47 gives me a very clear sight picture under any conditions with just a little bit of magnification, and is durable enough that I won't have to worry about it going tits-up on me. At first, the gun was a single-shot, due to the damn o-ring under the extractor. Once I removed that, everything worked as it should. I zeroed at 50yds, getting groups just over an inch. I put an ALG QMS trigger in it (the trigger in the LPK I got from PSA was such a turd it wouldn't even fit into the receiver without fitting), and while it IS a hell of a lot better than any "stock" trigger I have ever tried, it's no SSA, and this rifle has one of those in it's future. So I guess the rifle is really almost finished. Merely giving the BCG a cursory wipe-down to clean it put a big smile on my face; the NiB BCG was money well spent. |

The rifle's just a very little bit nose-heavy, but I really like the stock. I'm not much for collapsibles, and the only reason I didn't get a USGI A1 stock was because of the cost of piecing one together. This thing beats the shit out of the GI A1/A2 stocks IMO, and I'm very glad I got it.
Your trigger guard will be in the mail tomorrow morning.

They didn't. I forgot to mention that, since there would be no iron sights on this gun, I replaced the FSB with a low-profile gas block. Oops...  Quoted:

when did PSA make a Dissipator with a fake gas block instead of a front sight? They didn't. I forgot to mention that, since there would be no iron sights on this gun, I replaced the FSB with a low-profile gas block. Oops... Looks good op. get an SSA-E, and some better glass. She'll be a real shooter then. |

I had hoped that the QMS would suffice but alas, having owned numerous rifles with 2-stage triggers before, I'm hopelessly biased in their favor. |
