Northwest Ohioan here…
Built my first AR15 lower (PSA) a couple months back, was seriously worried I would mess it up but it turned out perfect, not even a scratch on the finish. I mated it to the PSA 10.5" Carbine Length 5.56 and let me tell you; it’s one sweat little gun.
Now I just need to find a good outdoor range to shoot at regularly along with my PSA Gen3 PA10 18" Mid-Length .308… need a little distance to truly enjoy shooting the big girl.
