Damn those PSA deals

Picked up a .22lr 16” MLOK upper on Sale:

It arrived today.

Initial impression is it looks good but it is a little rough. The MLOK slots on the handguards have some sharp edges and ejection port door is very hard to close.

We shall see how it actually shots.

I have found that the PSA EPT Trigger + Joe Bob Grip Screw Trigger Adjuster is a surprisingly good trigger for cheap, especailly when combined with the JP Reduced Power Trigger Springs.

I've been looking at that screw for some time now. I implemented it differently (because I didn't know of Joe Bob's product) on my carbine by screwing a set screw with the same threads as the grip screw up to the underside of the trigger assembly, then shortening the grip screw. Essentially a 2-piece version of Job Bob's screw above. It made a huge difference.

Just need to go to the store and pick up a $60 lower.
Complete AR pistol for less than $340. Salad days for real.

Shoulda sprung for the version with the SBA3 brace. So worth it. Still, you will enjoy it.



I got my (pseudo) dissy upper today. Still need to get an BCG and charging handle. I have it mocked up on a lower because I wanted to grope it.

I’ve never shot an AR pistol with a brace, what makes the SBA3 brace better?

SBA3 fits on a regular carbine buffer tube and is quick-adjustable. It also has a QD socket and it's just a little more comfortable. I have a couple of the Blade braces and there's nothing wrong with them but I'm really glad I spent the extra money for my pistol kit and got the one with the Magpul furniture and SBA3 brace. I can collapse it down and it fits in an old M60 barrel bag.

The Palmetto SBA kits are an amazing deal.

I was bitten by the PSA bug also;

Bought a pistol lower and built a MK18 budget clone/ forgery.

I function fired my 5.56 pistol yesterday and it ran. Nothing more to report other than the same lower is on sale now, down to only $99 (the one with no brace). Unbelievable...

Had the MOE grip in the parts box (went with the sticky one on a rifle) and a friend donated the hand stop. Another friend donated me the BCG, but I sorta donated my blast cabinet to him.
Another thing about these shenanigans is the availability of a low cost optic (this one is the SIG) that does not seem to be a total PoS makes it more feasible. Pretty sure I would not have a AR pistol if it would require a $500 Aimpoint…
