So back to the fact that it's purely due to poor assembly rather than poor quality materials, correct?

Bad quality control.

Sure, mil-spec is mil-spec, but how well do companies maintain that standard?

For PSA and BCA, they don’t do it nearly as well.

You’re not paying for a name.

You’re paying for better, tighter tolerances.

Things like checking every single part instead of batch checking (checking one of every batch)

Deburring the milling heads on the machines to keep them more precise.

All of that plays a factor.

AIM BCGs worth a damn?

But what about using just stripped PSA parts abd using Higher end internals, like we used to do with sleeper drag cars?

I would not do that.

Again, even lower receivers can have specification problems.

Metallurgy isn’t that big of a deal but it can still apply.

Got. Ya, makes sense.

I'm sure a PSA barrel would be perfectly fine, as they are hard steel blanks that they finish out.

Doing my first build, i have a mossberg right now.

That the bolt you were asking about?

@sampson

Whatcha thinking for parts?

Kida impressed with this, Colt 6920 trooper, Strike eagle 1-6, iwi ma855.

Not the exact same BCG, I imagine mostly the same.

Dont know trying to decide. Reading up right now, probably looking to drop at most around 1k basic.

Colt is a good brand

@Lucky Texan

For that price @sampson unless you're really intent on building one yourself, from my experience an M&P15 would probably fit. Might not be "battle ready" but you'll be able to learn the rifle and modify what you need to modify and swap weak points etc etc.

Well i owned an M&P and i hated it, bought my mossberg for that reason and have been happy since, but im strictly building one this time

@Soulraiser You can build a good rifle for $1,000.

Also I saw spartan armor, anyone have any suggestions?

M&P is good to go in my experience, my sport 2 beater is going on 6k of sterl

Steel

Hence why I said unless you're intent on building one.

@LoudPillsmy M&P constantly had problems. But then again you can always get an lemon.

I also have experience with holosun on my sport 2, also really good for the price.
