    Nice.

    Wish I would have seen this one. I would have pushed the button.

    If anyone happens to see it available again, a PM would be awesome! :D

    Edit: actually, I thought it was a mid-length 14.5". So, less bummed for missing it. But still a good deal, especially if you plan to cerakote or paint it.

    It really comes down to a full psa gun for ~$650 vs a bcm or spikes upper with a psa complete lower for $750...



    Those radical uppers are intriguing though lol

    I just ordered a 10.5" melonite barrel from them for $99 so we'll see. All the other stuff looks pretty milspec. It cant be worse than PTAC, and it has more upgrades and costs less.

    I'd rather 3D print an upper with playdough

    FWIW, the radical barrels are melonite treated or HBAR, and still as cheap as PTAC shit, plus the radical uppers come with free float rails. BCG is another $99 IIRC

    Good to know. I'm still fairly new to AR's and getting to know the vendors / manufacturers which can be trusted. My last AR was built cheap and had a PTAC upper. I can't break the bank on this one but want to use good quality parts.

    So, mid length vs carbine gas tube for a 16" bbl? I see those radical uppers are only carbine, whereas I was going to go with a midlength from BCM..

    I'd choose carbine if you're gonna shoot a variety of ammo and dont want to worry about under-powered/pressured loads. Midlength runs the risk of short-stroking if you have too heavy of a buffer set up with under-powered loads. Just my opinion and I could be wrong.
