Thoughts on this upper?

PSA 16" 556 1/7 Midlength Melonite light weight Keymod Freedom Upper w/BCG & CH

This popped up in my email and looks to be a good deal. I know their PTAC line is very bottom end but not sure about their Freedom line. $370 for a free float upper with BCG and CH seems like a good deal though.

Got the same email. Interested if anybody has experience with them.

Freedom is their mid priced line and it is a good value. PSA is shipping slow like they were before and their shipping charges seem to be a little high. I usually wait for free shipping to order and only order items that include free shipping. They charge shipping for any item not listed as "free shipping". I have several of the Freedom uppers with stainless barrels and they all shoot well.

Im a "buy once, cry once" type of person. So with that said, I would spend the extra few hundred and get the PSA premium line which uses FN CHF barrels. Personally, ive heard of too many issues from PSA products to buy them for myself. I only own and buy Colt, LMT and BCM when it comes to the AR15. Just my 2 cents.

BUY IT. You won't wear out a standard barrel, LOL. I have one VERY similar and it is great.

The keymod rail probably makes it a decent deal but not stellar. I bought a CHF M4 upper with BCG and CH for $399 a few months back from PSA. If you need it I say buy it.

Don't buy it if you're planning on going into combat. You must buy upper tier if you're contemplating doing so.

This is what I've been watching. If you are looking at !:7 twist, then you should have a longer barrel to generate higher muzzle velocities and therefore higher long range accuracy.

I went ahead and bought it. The only combat this will see is which grand child will get to shoot it first! I have an 18" and a couple of 20's. Since this will be more for the kids I wanted something lighter. I may put BUIS on it so they can start shooting with them. Teach them young and teach them right!

Good call. I'm glad you're not sending your grandkids into combat. This combination should serve you well.
