PSA Rifle Length Upper

Register to hide this ad
Looks very nice, should have no issues with a good lower from PSA. I just wish they would put out MORE 9mm 16" barrels as my PSA 9mm Lower is getting awfully lonely. HINT! HINT!
 
Is it a rifle length gas system? I'm old school and don't consider 18" a rifle length barrel.

Phil, that was the SS barrel. The one I posted from my son is the 4150 Chrome moly steel Nitrided barrel. There is a HUGE difference in the molecular structure between SS VS Chrome moly steel.
He's going to look at BCM & FAXON as well. Oh, and he has no plans of voiding the warranty by painting it. :rolleyes:

It's an AR-15. I think an 18" barrel is worthy of being called rifle length on an AR-15. What do you consider rifle length, the military version M16A1-2 with a 20" barrel? Or, something like a bolt action barrel being 26" or longer? :confused:
 
The only PSA uppers I would consider are the ones with the FN barrels, CHF MG steel with double chrome plate. Everything else is too iffy.

Yes rifle length gas with 18" barrel as used on the Crane SPR (Special Purpose Receiver later Special Purpose Rifle) developed for Navy Seals later also used by USMC and possibly others.

20" meets my personal criterion for "rifle length".:)
