Blemish pistol lower

Does the blemish on the Belem pistol lowers affect the function or is it solely a cosmetic flaw? Asking for a me…

From their web site,

FWIW, I have bought PSA blemished stuff before and had trouble finding the blemish…

I second that. I think a lot of the time it is just some minor milling marks. I really couldn’t find anything else. All of the one that I have bought functions perfectly.

I have 2 BLEM build kits from PSA and I’ve never found the blemish…and I looked hard!


Bought two rifle kits from PSA - they’re great. They are the first rifles I’ve ever owned, and I had only shot one rifle before (about 35 years ago). Built them using 80% lowers - and first timer - so I went with the “non blemished” kits.
I would never treat a gun like a delicate piece of art or jewelry, so I should have waited to buy something blemished to save some dollars.
I’ll only ever buy blemished I think from now on in.
