So I have a stripped down lower that I will probably build into a 300 blk out pistol because I'd like to eventually suppress it. Best place to get upper and lower kit?

I been digging the palmetto state armory website lately some good deals on there. Lifetime warranty so if it’s not right at first they will make it right.

That is where I got my last complete lower for my 300 rifle. I had paired it with a Diamondback upper. Plan to have that as my son's primary rifle once he starts to hunt.

I used the BCM 9” barrel in my 300BLK build, it groups great.

Theres several vids on YouTube I watched before trying it.

Essentially just get the $2 Enamel paint from Walmart. NOT ACRYLIC. I was being cheap and didn't get the correct kind.

Use a toothpick to spread it in the grooves. Take your time. It doesn't take alot of paint. Use rubbing alcohol to take off any excess after the paint dries. Don't press the cotton swabs hard into the groves. Just lightly. It will come off.

Just make sure to take your time.

I been wanting to do some but never tried. I see some that looks like it didn’t all come off around the rollmarks like your safety selector. Do you just need to wipe more of does it sometimes not all come off?

No I believe it was because I used the acrylic paint and not enamel.

They have spotty QC and customer service but make sure you post in their industry forum on AR15.com if you ever have a problem. They have a rep there who's very quick to respond to issues.
I like their lowers that have the polished trigger.

Yea I know They have some issues and slow to ship but if you have patients you can get some good stuff at great prices. I got a 6.5g upper and there sb3 lower and there ks47 10” pistol recienlty. Both came in flawless and the upper and lower have zero wobble. Killed a pig with the Grendel a few days after getting it.

Yeah, I'm tempted to order a complete middy for $350 with free shipping. It's not the waiting that bothers me but ordering a middy upper and it coming with a carbine length gas tube like a few years ago.

Did PSA engrave “Snek” into the receiver?

All I have experience with is the two I got and they so far have been 100%. I haven’t had a chance to go do some good shooting and test different bullets and see how accurate they are.

It was good enough for this. There was a big pod of them and I tried to punch through this ones guts because the head of a second one was right behind it. I don’t know that it hit the other or not...it looked like a murder scene

Yes they made the lower...I think they make them in-house. Long story short a mad customer posted on ar15.com calling them poo flinging grimlins....so they made a lower to poke fun with a poo flinging geimlin for the rollmark and now have several done and even more on the way.

Hobby Lobby carries Microbrushes which I use with my enamel paints on ship models. They do come is very small sizes. They might make it a bit easier to do.

Regarding the shipping, I ordered on the 4th late in the evening and it shipped on the 7th. I ordered a completed upper with lower build kit. No issues.
