    Hello INGO brethren, after receiving a very nice reception of my latest video on my channel about budget upper quality and accuracy (video below). What do you think should be the next upper brand in the series. I've had a number of requests for the Palmetto Freedom upper. Should I go with PSA or a different route for the next one?.....

    I used a PSA freedom 1:7 stainless upper on my build. It out shoots me but I've only had it to 100 yards. I've put about 800 rounds through it without a hiccup so far. My kit was $425 which included everything but the lower and a rear sight.

    Make sure you get a straight edge to check the freedom upper FSP. Mine was very slightly off the the left by a few thousanths of an inch which made my zero on my rear be to the left more than any other AR I've owned or carried. Shoots good though, but it bugged me. I free floated that one as it seemed a logical candidate for the mod.

    If that one wins out on the vote which it looks like it will, Ill do that, thanks for the heads up!

    I would have thought that everyone had or knew someone with a PSA by now.

    If you want to put your money on a Delton or something else less well known, I can make my PSA Freedom upper and an AR Stoner upper available for your testing.

    Care to explain??? Have had two of their lower receivers and they were/are gtg.
    all lowers aren't created equal but it's possible you might never have an issue even with a inferior lower.
    Their uppers are poo. Just so many i stances online that back that up so I'm not trying to dog on your parade just trying to keep someone from making the mistake of buying one. Like an IO Ak, poop too

    I put a Del-ton 20 inch flat top (A4-style) on an INGO lower finished with Stoner parts, and so far, so good. This was a build for my son. Only about 80 rounds so far.
