This is even more important for those about to have a ban go into effect later this year.
PSA has Built Lowers for $199. You cannot even build them this cheap using decent parts.
No one can bitch durring the next ban/runup that they didn’t have a chance to buy a few more.
What if I want an actual mil-spec receiver extension and an H buffer?
Does PSA ever let you pay a little bit more for an upgrade instead of paying for parts I don’t want and then replacing them later?

I guess you’ll have to source your own H-buffer…
“Milspec diameter” IS NOT milspec. It is simply the same diameter as milspec.
That’s why they don’t simply call it milspec, and that is why they don’t list what it is made from. Because I guarantee it’s 6061 or similar, and not the 7075 that is milspec.
Please read more carefully.
It says mil spec diameter receiver extension, that would only leave you having to replace the buffer and spring. To me that seems like a pretty good deal. Even if it came with a h buffer, many would still replace it with heavier weight buffers. Ymmv though!
this would be perfect for a 22LR build.

That is why they say “milspec diameter” and not simply milspec.

That is why I asked if PSA, for people who choose to have the part be the stronger milspec material, allows for an upgrade instead of buying an entirely new part.
This is why marketing departments exist. To knowingly and intentionally mislead people into believing they are buying something they are not, without ever actually lying. It’s all about what you say, and what you don’t say.
Gotcha warp, didn’t catch that. Yea I’d agree about having your own options on parts. Still nice to see parts, gear, etc becoming available again though.
It is VERY nice to see.
Pretty much everything but ammo is back, and ammo is continuing to (slowly) trend downward in price.
What I couldn’t believe was BCM BCG’s being in stock for $190 for DAYS at Ranier Arms recently. Those, and the PSA lowers/PMAG deals, and PSA complete rifles with Aimpoint PRO’s for $1k, have been the most shockingly-good deals I’ve seen recently.
I have asked them about this before, the only true mil spec 7075-t6 buffer tube is their premium tube.
Clue me in on the point of collecting lowers. Just curious
Because lowers can be built into rifles…?
It seems like lowers, LPK’s, and BCG’s have been tne hardest items to get during the “panics”.
If you look around you can find LMT defender and BCM blem lowers in stock right now. They are more expensive than the PSA lowers suggested but there are no questions about their quality.
The lower is the part that is considered the firearm and has the serial number. As you probably know, you have to get your lower from someone with a Federal Firearms License. This is a registered purchase (in that it says you purchased a long gun, it won’t specifically say what it is). The upper and all other parts are not regulated so anybody can simply order one online. I’m 16 and I just got my BCM upper. States like California are considering banning all semi-auto rifles with detachable magazines. Having a few legal lowers allows people to build their rifles after the ban. Thats the way I see it anyway. Hope this helps.

And it makes shit for difference. People are here splitting hairs. I have cheap $40 Milspec buffer kits all the way to the system on my SR15/SR25, and they all work.
I post a deal and you guys are bitching about something that doesn’t even matter.
Read less and shoot more. You might be suprised by what you will find out.
Show me an instance where the use of a 7000 series Alum would have made a difference vs a 6000 series alum…
There is no question about PSA quality. LMT and BCM lowers are 2x or more than the cost of these.
The whole point is being able to stack a bunch of lowers should there be a future state/fed ban, and being able to build a bunch of rifles on the cheap.
Really? You’re way ahead of the curve then hanging out at M4C vs “other” forums spewing mall ninja nonsense and know far more than I did at 16 about such topics. There was no internet when I was 16, so I have a decent excuse at least. Good on you. 
And just to make sure I have said it to sound like some nosy uncle: safety first, safety last, safety always. 
Wow, that really is an impressive price.
Yeah too bad we all blew our wad during the panic!
Relatively speaking of coarse, I refused to pay more than MSRP, but 15 dollars for a Gen 3 P-Mag is much more than $10!
+1. I was just about to post about him having more comon sense and being more level headed at 16, then half the people who live on this site.
You would be HIGHLY served to also research elsewhere on the net. M4C tends to get some pretty polar (and many times wrong) personalites that care more about brand then the actual merits of the product.
Yea man, Ive bought a bunch and have directed friends and family to do the same.
For 90% of rec shooters, this is a very good choice and lets them spend money on a good upper/optics and some ammo. Throw a Sparc or TR-25 on there and 10 mags or so, and you can have a nice little servicble setup for under $1K.
