Yes. Loosen the set screw and move the brace back, the buffer tube has a bunch of dimples for the set screw to index on. Max LOP is 13 and 1/4". I keep mine set to about 12.5", this about equal to the third position out on a 6 position buffer tube... You can get, an easily adjustable set screw for the blade on Ebay and other places, or, just use an Allen wrench... |

Wanted A 10.5" since I sold my 7.5" a few years ago. Wasn't sure about a fixed front sight but at $250 I just placed an order. Thanks!

Between PSA and the Walmart Clearance thread, I'm gonna go broke saving so much money.
This site has probably cost me $25,000. Wife asked the other day..... Wife: What's in the boxes on the front porch? Me: Some stuff from Palmetto. W: I thought we agreed no more purchases until the truck is paid off. Me: Yeah, but it was on sale. I saved hundreds. That's when I realized I was fucked. She gave me that look that I give her when she's out shopping and comes home with a bunch of shit that was 'on sale'. |

When my pistol kit arrived I showed it to the wife. She said that it looked just like the other pistol. She then wanted to know why I would buy something I already had. I told her the same thing. It was on sale. |

Nice lady at PSA just cancelled the kit in black and I reordered in FDE.
Wife and I were at the gun store Saturday and I was looking at the Ruger PC9, and there was a guy with an AR pistol next to us at the counter. Wife says go ahead and buy the PC9, and I just looked down and said I shouldn't right now. Wife asks why...i just pointed at the dude next to us and said cause I just bought a pistol like that one. She's like reeaallly, all I could say was it was a great deal LOL. |

So PSA is charging me a $16 cancellation fee even though I sent a cancellation request this weekend on the first kit ordered. They said it was because their email team was backed up from orders this weekend. I don't agree that I should be on the hook for that, but we'll have to see if a supervisor agrees.
A little upsetting considering how much money I've spent with them over the years... ETA: Moot point. PSA Supervisor agreed and removed the charges. Thanks, PSA! Still a very loyal customer.
