    I just added Inforce lights to my 16" AR and my AK SBR. I haven't been able to check durability, but they cost less than some MilSurp Surefires. That being said, you might find a used M951 on eBay for cheap. Add a Malkoff head and it's a potent light.

    If your a PSA fan the below podcast might be interesting to you. Its an interview with two of the top guys at PSA discussing customer service and how they've improved it over the last few years. Also discuss a lot of other interesting aspects of the company.

    Even if your not a fan you'll probaley find it interesting as they discuss some of the manufacturing aspect of a gun company.

    PSA has done more to arm the populace than most "respectable" companies I know of. That's worth more than a little in my mind.

    I agree and that's actually a point they make in the interview.

    I understand that part but the customer service still leaves a lot to be desired they have come a long ways but still have a long road to travel...

    Having bought from them many times over the yrs you order stuff even when they shipped from there home garage. It takes months to get the items even after paying for 2 day shipping. Granted they have experienced some major growing pains over the yrs and the timing of 2008/2009 for the gun industry was crazy and in those 10 yrs there was a few yrs they lost focus and have needed to refocus on what I hope is a better path to customer service.

    I have made a few purchases from them and so far have been impressed. I’m not usually one to buy lower end weapons but I decided to build a budget ar pistol I can beat the crap out of. So far it’s been great and I would buy from them again

    I made a few purchases as well and figured the shipping delay was due to massive amount of orders from the daily deals. Didn't mind the delay it wasn't too bad. I made a LaRue order for a UUK and lower and it looks like it's going to take longer but I know I'm getting a higher quality product and not worried.

    My son and I ordered PSA kits for our first build. I guess we were lucky - kits were both delivered to different addresses in different States within a week of ordering, all the parts were there and functional. Both rifles shoot well and without malfunction.

    I've only bought two of their bolts and both were delivered promptly. Bought them as backups so they haven't even seen one round yet.

    The slab side upper i got from tonys customs at a gunshow. The other is a blem brownells.

    Better view of the well worn charging handle also from Tonys custom. Ive posted about this upper before. Its not drilled to take a dust cover.

    Colt bcg. The guy i got the bcg from also had a colt canada bcg that wasnt for sale.

    This sight will be pulled and put on the slab side.
