Have experience with the first and last. Would take the first hands down all day long if those were my choices.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I missed your price range but I believe X-Caliber may have some in stock AR barrels. You may look there if interested.

Be hard pressed to think PSA would not replace that instantly.
You can bed it in 640. Would be almost impossible to ever get it apart again though. You were absolutely right, just received this email. Props to PSA! "The following repairs were completed on your Palmetto State Armory product: Investigated issue of accuracy, found upper receiver to be out of spec. Replaced receiver, honed and polished chamber and verified gas port was to spec. Assembled and insured all components were secured. Test fired for accuracy (passed). Cleaned and oiled."

So what is their acceptance standard for accuracy?
If I remember right the army says 4 MOA on an M-16 is OK.
Good that they recognized a problem with the upper though.
PSA is a mass seller, so they probably sell more than most other places put together, so an occasional issue is not unexpected if you deal with them long enough.

MM Don't know what their standard of accuracy is but at least with a good/in spec upper I have something to work with.

MM Don't know what their standard of accuracy is but at least with a good/in spec upper I have something to work with. The only thing that concerns me, is you said the barrel or extension was out of "round" by .005". If I remember correctly. It sounds like they are using the same barrel, or did not say they are replacing the barrel. I'm like MM, and wondering what their accuracy requirements/standards are. Keep us posted, and let us know how it shoots, when you get it back. If the accuracy is still not what you are expecting, buy a WOA barrel, and don't look back..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The receiver bore was oversize and OOR (they replaced), extension had .001" taper but I can bed if that proves to be a problem.

Hopefully it shoots more to your satisfaction now..
