hi guys, finally signed up so i can ask some noob questions! :P
about a year ago i ordered a PSA complete upper and bcg separately. earlier this year i bought another complete upper that came with bcg and charging handle. i know the psa site says all uppers are test fired, but do i still need to perform the headspace check on these? i'm mostly concerned about the previous upper and bcg that came separately. thanks in advance for any help! |

Ive not headspaced a single AR i've built and all function flawlessly.. |

I believe I read somewhere on here where FN directly said they head spaced their barrels before selling it to anyone, including seconds. |

This makes me more likely to buy an upper and then a BCG/Handle separate to spread out my purchase and choose what I want with what. Now, I need to pick my upper and my BCG!! to each their own. i cant say i blame you. i hve to build peice by peice... and truthfully should buy a set of guages.. but i havent yet. odd that i have vice blocks, armorers blocks, wrenches, punches, jigs, etc, but no headspace guages. lol |
