PSA 16" Midlength 5.56 NATO 1:7 Nitride MOE Freedom Rifle Kit - 7780444

I've heavily modified this AR over the last year. After knocking the A2 off and putting a low profile gas block on it I added a free float rail and installed a Geissele G2S trigger. With 69gr SMK I can consistently hit sub-moa groups at 100 yards. I've also put about 3000 rounds of various practice and varmint ammo through it the barrel and chamber are still in superb shape the lower parts have all functioned flawlesly the upper has held up to use and so has the bolt. Never once had a malfunction. Catch this one on sale and its one hell of a gun for a great price.

it shipped next day .received it in about 5 days.looks like a quality kit no scuffs or scratches . was packaged well for shipping. overall very easy to put lower parts kit in with the utube videos on building. one. have not been. to range yet but m confident i will have no issues. would purchase again and recomend psa

This was my first AR 15 build and with this kit it was very simple to assemble and first time out it ran just great. Pretty accurate although I was just testing at 30 yards with irons using freedom munitions reman .223 FMJ and was getting very consistent groups for my novice skill level. I am very impressed in the quality thus far with this kit.

Well I've got about 400 rounds through it. It's no torture test but whatever. Over half of that was cheap Wally Wolrd Tula. 0 malfunctions. ZERO. Shipping was fast (not Amazon fast but still under a week). The only complaint I have is that 3 days after I ordered this kit (still before I received it) it went on sale. Not a huge sale but $50 off with free shipping is a good bit 'o ammo. I emailed customer service about a price match but was told that would only be honored within 24 hours. So order this kit with full confidence. Just don't check the price again until you've assembled fired and fallen in love with your new rifle.

All components appear to be of solid quality. After assembly lubed everything up and sent about 100 rounds downrange. Everything operated flawlessly. I would recommend this kit to anyone looking to build a quality AR on a budget.

I was leery about how long my order would take. Not to worry! My order was shipped the next day! I was also leery about whether I would receive all the parts once again not to worry! I think many things that I had heard were from previous times. Excellent service. This was my first build and I had it completed in 1 hour and 25 minutes complete with a rear sight and sling. I built it on an Anderson lower receiver. Everything went together perfectly. Another concern I had was about weight because the weight of the kit is not listed on the website. My rifle came in at 6 pounds 15 ounces and that include the sling and rear sight (no magazine). So once again I was pleasantly surprised... SO when I add a light it will be just over 7 pounds. I will sight it in tomorrow the range is closed today and will update if needed. I expect that it will be accurate and operate properly...

This was my first build. I was a little apprehensive about putting an entire rifle together my first time out of the gate. I went with Palmetto because I was able to get exactly what I wanted in a complete kit (minus the lower of course). I didn’t have to worry about putting the upper together or make sure that I had every thing that I needed.
I could not be more satisfied with the entire transaction. The upper was completely assembled so I only needed to deal with learning curve of assembling the lower. The shipping was quick great packaging and quality parts. I will defiantly buy from Palmetto again.

This was my first AR build and it went together with no problems. I used an Anderson lower. Installed a rear sight and I was ready to go. After 100 rounds no failures and no complaints. Shipping was fast and everything was packaged well. Will definitely use Palmetto State again.

Darn I missed being the first reviewer for this by 1 day. every piece and part fit together as it should had absolutely no problems and this was my first build. Before I put it together I cleaned everything really well. A few days later I was able to go test shooting. After a couple of hundred rounds I had to stop due to rain and being cold. Didn't have any issues and after telling some friends they want this same setup. Way to go PSA!!!

if i needed another AR this is where i will go.

Just as it says all you need to complete a rifle but the lower and rear sight. I really love this kit on my aero precision lower. The trigger kit I received was really great when assembled. Has more trigger guard grip hand gaurd and stock. I also like the profile. Would definitely recommend.

I've been wanting an AR style rifle for a while. A friend had just ordered the stainless steel kit and was going to ride to Columbia (about an hour away) to pick up the lower. I decided to "pull the trigger" ordered this kit and had them set an extra stripped lower aside for me. I ordered this kit because I felt it met my needs. Many tout the advantages of the mid-length gas system over the carbine length system. The Melonite ferritic nitrocarburizing process produces a hard surface with supposedly better corrosion resistance than chrome and a lower drag coefficient too. The process is similar to Glock's Tenifer finish. The accuracy is supposed to be better too than a chrome lined barrel similar to the accuracy of stainless steel. Since the barrel length is the same on the carbine length I found the aesthetics better. The handgrip is longer with less barrel showing. The barrel is very black and the bore appears polished. My friend and I built the lowers together with all the parts (except the lower receiver) included in the kit. This is a great way to get into the system as building the lower is not extremely difficult nor does it require a lot of specialized tools. So far I have been very pleased with my purchase.

Just want to inform potential buyers that this has a Freedom barrel. It isn't listed as such in the description.

The barrel is the same quality as the non-freedom marked barrel the difference is the engraving. Please contact Customer service if you require a differently marked barrel.

I purchased this kit to finish a stripped lower I had purchased elsewhere. While at a great price for an entire kit the saying "you get what you pay for" holds true here. The bolt is very rough inside the carrier group and sticks while manually cycling. After firing 120 rounds through the weapon the bolt loosened up slightly but still felt rough. What truly supposed me and upset me was the brass deflector had its finish completely chipped and worn off. Only 120 rounds of brass and the finish is toast? I expected more quality but if you're looking for a kit to throw together for a kick around gun then I would recommend it.
