Bought a PSA stripped lower the other day to kind've force my hand into building my first...
1) Are the PSA's worth throwing quality parts at or should I have spend $$ on something better in the first place? (little late, I know, but I can always toss this thing deep into the safe and buy something else)
2) Parts availability is pretty overwhelming....I plan to start with an aftermarket trigger group (CMC, wilson combat, or Giessele) What lower parts do you typically upgrade right off the bat? I'd hate to buy one of those lower parts kits only to find I don't need 80% of it.
3) Just double checking that 16" barrel is still legal for civilian use
4) Read a pretty informative article ( https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/5-56-vs-223/ ) that says to go with a 5,56 Nato chambered barrel as opposed to .223 Rem. Is that the consensus here?
5) What do I need to know about "gas blocks" and uppers? (see.....total noob)
