Ordered a Palmetto State Armory upper

I ordered one of their dissipator uppers (with the mid-length gas system) last week. This will be my first AR, so fingers crossed in regard to quality....

Let me know how you like the dissipator set up please. I was planning one getting one soon. Thanks.

Will do.

I have an update already. Got an email saying it shipped today (or is at least scheduled to ship?) and has an estimated arrival date of October 21st. So, according to PSA,it should get here by this Friday. If so, that is pretty quick. The last barrel I ordered from Del-Ton was in stock and ready to ship and it still took twelve days for me to get it.

We shall see. Will update when it arrives.

Just read about some problems with the PSA uppers.

Make sure to check the gas block screws, have herd a few complains about the gas blocks leaking, just a heads up.

Mine won't have any screws in the gas block. It will have a standard "f" marked front sight base that is held in place with standard tapered pins.

Plus, seems like if I had the issue they were having, I would have just put a little loc-tite on the gas block screws and tightened them down and been done with it. No need to waste my time trying to contact PSA about it. Guess I'm just weird that way.

Oh, and thanks for the heads-up by the way.

Just a quick update....I ordered my upper on the 10th, and it still hasn't shipped yet.
