BEST ANSWER: "MOE" stands for Magpul Original Equipment which describes the style of hand guard and rails that make up the rifles accessory platforms. "M-Lok" describes the shape of the slots for attachments. "EPT" stands for Enhanced Polished Trigger which defines that the trigger will be smoother and maybe will reduce trigger pull pressure due to the fact it has polished parts that reduce friction. So, with all this said, I picked the M-Lok MOE style and only purchase accessories that are compatible with this platform on all my ARs so that I can swap things around. I hope this helps.

What lower receiver do you recommend for this upper kit?
Jarod B on Apr 27, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Any AR-15 style stripped lower. PSA lowers have about the best price going, and I’ve built 5 using PSA lower build kits with zero problems.
Is there a way to add a bottom rail to this upper?
Travis B on Apr 16, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes. M-lock's base go into the oval on the hand guard. They twist and lock as you tighten them.
I was just wondering, with this kit, is it everything i need to put it together, or do i need anything else, this is my first one, an dont want to get it wrong?
Thanks
mustang8750 on Jul 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Short answer: includes everything EXCEPT a lower reciever.

hey buddy, I was in your shoes just a few years ago, the first build can be a little daunting. This is a great build, I’ve used it a few times. Most online builds (including this one) will need you to still purchased a Striped Lower Reciever to become operational. I recommend Anderson Arms Lowers as they are reliable and some of the cheapest on the market today. The lower parts kit included in this built kit will then go in your lower reciever.
There is another kit the same as this one but with a carbine gas system. So whats the difference mid length vs carbine gas system?

PSA 16" M4 5.56 NATO 1/7 Carbine-Length Nitride 13.5" Lightweight M-Lok MOE EPT Rifle Kit With MBUS Sight Set - 516447430
BEST ANSWER: This is all based on reading, but the answer that I get is that the mid-length gas system will probably have a little less recoil due to less gas pressure pushing the bolt back, but sufficient pressure to cycle. I also read that carbine length seems better for full-auto or an adjustable gas block. I'm getting 16" mid-length.
What tools do I need to assemble?
B B on Sep 6, 2018
Can this be shipped to California?
Carlos V on Jun 5, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes, you will just need to replace the parts that are not allowed on a featureless rifle if you wish to build one

Wilfer C on Dec 12, 2018
BEST ANSWER: You only need a stripped lower receiver, some specialized tools make putting it together easier, but they are not necessary. Everything else to make it functional is provided.
Is this a complete build or just the upper?
Nick M on May 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It is a complete build kit minus the lower receiver. The upper will come assembled.
Has anyone had any problems with certain Ammo running through this upper?

BEST ANSWER: It's an aluminum hand guard.
what will I need to complete rifle?
james b on Mar 7, 2019
BEST ANSWER: The only part with serial numbers. You will need a striped lower. You can get one at almost any gun store with a background check. Also you will need the tools and knowledge to complete your build. knowledge can be found from a friend or YouTube. The tools are very basic. A small hammer some punches and a AR multi wrench are a good start also a vice helps. Good luck and when you learn please teach others. SUPPORT THE 2A

Shotgun on Mar 2, 2019

William H on Dec 26, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes 5.56 chambers shoot either, .223 chambers should use .223 only. .223 Wylde shoot either as well.

Kit was easy to put together and mated well with my Anderson lower. Rail screws had to be tightened a bit and I put some blue locktite on them to make sure they don't back out. Took a carbine class with it and had no issues after 300 rounds. Can't believe the quality for the price I paid. Bolt marked C158.

I love it.
I love my psa AR15. The handguard is a different cut from the rest of the upper reciever and I was missing the trigger guard roll pin, but it everything was functional and shoots great. I put about 400 rds in it so far and not a single malfunction. Would certainly buy again.

Great for a first time build!
Used for a time first build (and my first rifle) and went together with my Aero lower with ease. Only issue was I forgot to ensure the hand guard was tight so it moved during break in. Few drops of loc-tite and Bob’s your uncle. This kit is great for a novice like me and seems to shoot very well.

First time build. Great results. Legal in upstate NY.
I put this upper together with an Anderson lower. I add the sig sauer romeo 5 to it for faster targeting. I ordered it off the website on Sunday and got it by the following Friday (NY). I put it all together in about an hour following the YouTube video. The entire upper was well manufactured and really put together well. It's very impressive for the money. I sighted every thing in within about 10 to 20 rounds using the Federal American Eagle 223Rem. 55 grain. I also shot 5.56 62gain and some steel case. 223 55gr TulAmmo. I put about 100 rounds through it so far and nothing had come loose or been any problem what so ever. The only thing is that in NY you have to make it so the 10rd magazine doesn't come out if you have certain "evil features" on your AR. Overall very satisfied with PSA and I'll be back to order more great products.

Awesome awesome awesome
Honestly for the price you cannot beat this! Kit came complete and well put together. I paired it with an 80% lower and its flawless. 2500 rounds later I'm fully impressed with its functionability and accuracy even with 55gr factory loads. Will be buying several more when I can !

More than I hoped for
This upper attatched to my 80% Arms lower like it was factory made for it. I have shot several brands of ammo both .223 and 5.56 with absoluty no issues I could not be happier with this upper.

10/10 for entry level
First rifle, build, and gun. Saw a similar build on a YouTube channel and decided this was the one for me. I'm new to shooting and I couldn't have picked a better choice to start, great price for the product that you get. I've recommended this kit to several of my friends and will continue to do so until I feel like I shouldn't which I doubt. Overall I'm very please with this and would/will buy another.
This is my first rifle and gun I have bought, owned and built. 10/10 highly recommend
