I finished my ar15 lower a few days ago and now I'm looking

>not buying a PSA upper already
>not having that sweet mid length gas system
>not having that sweet FN built cold hammer forged barrel
>not having that sweet chromed BCG from toolcraft
>paying $800 for an upper

Pay $500 and save the rest for a good optic

>>31812856
Is that a magnifier for his reflex sight or does he have a backup red dot?

>>31812856
Also, what charging handle that be?

>>31812961
Are only the premium uppers the ones with FN barrels?

go with a piston

you will never have to clean your AR

I'm in approximately the same situation, but I'm on a lower budget. I'm thinking of buying this along with PSA's premium BCG and charging handle for a total of $440. Opinions?

>>31813836
I'm not falling for the piston or "no cleaning" meme

BCM thin barrel, cold hammer forged

should be about 750

fucking glorious

>>31813775
the cold hammer forged ones are for sure from FN, I believe the melonited ones are as well. It will say in the comments on whatever you pick out

>>31813842
do it, youll be happy

>>31814126
So you think it's a good option? PSA has so many options that I'm pretty overwhelmed. Can someone else weigh in before I buy?

>>31816349
>stainless
You will regret this

>>31816376
Yeah, I was kind of thinking that. However, most of the other models I'm looking at are out of stock. What other online sources should I be considering?

Solid do-everything good enough, go to gun set up:

>PSA 16" mid-length (premium line) http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-mid-length-cmv-cl-stripped-upper-without-bcg-or-charging-handle.html ($300)

>PSA BCG http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-5-56-premium-hpt-mpi-full-auto-bolt-carrier-group-no-logo-39339.html ($100)

>PSA charging handle http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar15-m16-7075-t6-forged-mil-spec-charging-handle-24080.html ($20)

>Magpul rear BUIS http://palmettostatearmory.com/magpul-mbus-back-up-sight-gen-2-rear-mag248.html ($55)

>Primary arms micro dot http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-micro-dot-with-removable-base-eta-early-july-2016-md-rbgii ($90)

>10 mags ($100)

You'll still have money left over for a sling, light, and ammo.

(Non-OP here)

Looks nice, but I'd love something with rails all the way down.

>>31816866
You could still add a cheaper rail to my list. UTG pro slimline would still be in budget, and its US made. https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/leapers-utg-pro-ar-15-13-super-slim-free-float-modular-handguard-aluminum-matte-black-mtu006ss-4717385550124.do

Maybe other used options over on the arfcom EE.
