I know psa would definatley want to know if a lower of this much out of spec had gotten out into the wild. I know they produce thousands of lowers upon thousands of lowers and like i said i've never seen one that out of spec. |

I personally have assembled 6 PSA lowers including blems. I have not had any issues. |

I have not had any issues. well as i havent heard back from groundpounder since early july when he posted up, I figure his issue was a non issue or PSA got involved and fixed it for him. today I added the H&R Lower receiver that came out on july 22, 2022. yeah i know its a month late.. but sometimes life gets in the way.. at least its up there now. anyways, if yall have anything i missed or comments or whatever feel free to post up. |

Didn't see this one listed. Included some pics of my lower, and the facebook post from PSA Summerville when it released. It was early August 2018. Pic album |

thank y ou for that image and a bit of information. how much were they when you purchased it? adn do you know of how many they may have produced? usually the laser engraved lowers are very easy to replicate/ make which is why i think that PSA went more to the full engraved lowers like the meme ones than producing more of the Laser ones.. but thats jus tmy thoughts on the subject. i know they still sell some of the laser ones like the dont tread on me, etc. etc. |

| Yeah, just got one “SCNLxxxxxx” and it’s in pistol configuration. Tried to go to the website to see if it left the shop as a stripped lower or as a pistol. Wasn’t about to find anything. |

I tried to call PSA and ask if the current runs of Stealth Lowers are Low Shelf but was told that reps cannot answer that kind of technical question? Trying to get an order in but if they are high shelf I don't need them. Per the thread https://palmettostatearmory.com/forum/t/psa-lowers-the-definitive-thread-on-their-differences/23016 the stealth with PA prefix should be low shelf, but that post is a couple years old and I don't want to pay for three plus transfer without being sure. Anyone have a recent Stealth lower that can confirm the cut? https://palmettostatearmory.com/3-pack-of-psa-ar-15-stealth-stripped-lowers.html |

Interesting post. I’ve purchased four complete lowers over the course of the last two years. I will post the serial number prefix and month/year of manufacture SCNL 10/2024 DCSF 06/2025 SCNL 09/2025 LW 05/2026 |

| I got two blem stealth lowers a few weeks ago that were advertised as PA prefix but arrived with LW prefixes. Both had high shelves. I was a little displeased. |

I was a little displeased. i can understand that you would be when you expected one thing and got another.... but i assure you the LW prefixed lowers are great lowers, and just as nice as the PA prefixed lowers. other than expectation, they should be 100% Good to go. |

Not arguing on the quality but I expected low shelf in order to have no issues with FRT. With high shelf that can't be guaranteed. |
