    Like I said. The mark only shows who the forging came from. There are lotsa uppers out there with no other markings. I've got one for sale that has the exact same mark, the other marking on it is the PSA logo on the left side. PSA's machining is usually good to go. They do put out blemishes every once in a while, but I think PSA even marks those the same way. Is it PSA or Ptac? Big difference there. The Ptac stuff seems to be very rough and low end. Best bet, other than contacting PSA (they are way overrrun right now with their black friday and xmas sales.) is to get a set of specs and a caliper. At least you can confirm what the dimensions are.

    The order shows that it's a PTAC. It seems to be a good one. I don't see any voids in the casting or rough finishing and everything seems very high tolerance, fit-wise.
    I know some outfits buy over runs from legitimate sources but aren't allowed to say who they're from for fear of comparison shoppers that don't like paying the higher MSRP prices when the unmarked runs, for the same product, are going cheaper from cheapo sources.
    They call it 'fair market value'...I call it 'price fixing'.
