Blemished Uppers and Lowers

[SideShow Bob]

Has anyone here ordered the Blemished complete Uppers and or complete Lowers from Palmetto State Armory ?
Just trying to gauge what kind of blemishes can expected on them from the experiences of the members here.
I have an aquaintance that wants a low budget AR rifle, and thought that getting a complete blemished upper and lower from PSA's Memorial day sale would be the way for him to go.
I didn't want to have him go with the PTAC complete rifles from PSA, the interwebz have bad reviews on those.
Thanks,

SSB.

Yes on Lower. Just cosmetic blem in coating that I saw. Great deal for blem uppers right now for $39.99, but doesn't say if M4 feed ramps ot not.

I've done Blem lowers on a few builds and they were all good to go.

Did the blem lower, couldn't find the blem!

I've bought blemished PSA stripped lowers in the past. It's usually pretty tough to spot the blemish. I don't usually buy anything except blemished anymore.

I bought a blem barreled upper (sqr13 premium 16" mid gas lightweight) and got a great deal. It had a few toutchup spots on the hand guard (alumablack ???)

I also bought a "blem" premium bolt group and it was really nice, don't know where the "blem" is most likely they just wanted to move a bunch. Better quality then "ptac" which is still decent stuff.

Same as everyone above. Order two complete lowers and they were both great. I could not find the blems on either. Both functioned perfectly on 3 different uppers.

I almost think the blem is something they do on purpose to allow them to move mass inventory. every blem that I've seen on the multiple lowers that I have is a scratch low on the flat spot that is covered by the grip anyway.

I've ordered both recently. Ordered two blem uppers and one blem complete lower. The carbine upper had a blem that I found that was cosmetic. The midlength upper and lower, I could not find anything. The lower does fit pretty tight on every upper I have, which I am told is how all PSA lowers are. YMMV.
