My kit seems much better than what many people got.
I took pictures of the problem areas others had.
The lower handguard retainer is a bone of contention with Palmetto cutting a double slot for a future development. Mine is only very slightly oblong.
The cast bolt carrier that happens at the "Freedom" level has bother a lot of people.
Mine doesn't appear to be too rough, but if they're offering a free upgrade to forged, why not take them up on it?
They have been fully blasted for using a roll pin to retain the gas piston.
One person in particular had atrocious machining for the bolt-cam surface.
Mine's fine.
damn, wish i had known this before i ordered one. haven't shipped yet, i called, they told me about the cast parts and that they were replacing those parts before they ship any more uppers. all i can do is hope, since they got my money already.
ReplyDeleteMeh... I'll pass, don't need another @*&$^$ caliber to have to buy ammo for! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd already added this cartridge to my dump when I got the PAP M59/66A1 (aka Yugo SKS).
DeleteThe round I've been avoiding is 5.45x39mm and a Polish Wz.88 Tantal.
Meh... I already stock 42 different cartridges not counting shotguns, what would another one be?
ReplyDeleteActually I re-counted and it is 44...
DeleteWe just stock 22 chamberings. But then, I've been actively avoiding the increases.
