PSA 18" Rifle-Length .223 Wylde 1/7 Stainless Steel 15" Lightweight M-lok MOE EPT Rifle Kit w/MBUS Sight Set - 5165450192

For my first build, it went very smoothly. The finished rifle is beautiful and I'm very happy with the finish of the product. My only complaint is that I didn't receive the sights in the box. I've tried the contact us Friday but haven't heard anything yet. Will change review if my issue is fixed

Bought this kit for a budget gun to keep in my camper at the river. I replaced the stock with an A2 style. I also added reduced power trigger springs. 5-20x56 Nightforce SHV. I’ve put almost 500 rounds through it now. All rounds fired were American Eagle Varmint & Predator 50 gr. Hollow point. Accuracy is great! Consistent and repeatable impacts out to my furthest range with this rifle of 450 yards. So far it has cycled every time that I pulled the trigger. Fit and finish are perfect for a package at this cost. I will definitely watch for sales and shop here again.

I purchased mine online one weekend and had it by Thursday. Shot it Saturday with a mil-spec lower. It has run absolutely flawless. Mine likes +75 gr. ammo. You can bet on 1.5” moa with 77gr BLK or 77gr PPU. BUY ONE!

Very happy with it, bought many rifle kits from here and always satisfied.

I really enjoyed my first build using this kit. Everything was delivered just a few days after order was placed. All of the parts came nicely boxed and kitted so that it was easy to identify parts needed for each step of the build.

I would definitely recommend this kit to someone wanting to build their own rifle. Took about 2 hours because I’m slow. Could easily do 1 in 30 minutes.

This was the perfect upper for my Anderson lower. Assembly was spot on. No issues with any of the parts, fit or finish. I did change out the trigger for a 2# comp trigger. Shot a 1 " group once it was sighted in.

I love it the price is unbeatable

Very impressed, this was my very first build and I paired it with a ATI lower and the fit was perfect. I’m definitely going to be buying more in the future from PSA

Very pleased. Smooth trigger. Looks great.
Nice fit and finish

Paired with an Anderson lower. Excellent accuracy with Hornady superformance 75 gr. 5 shot jagged hole! Well worth the money.

This upper shoots black hills 60 gr vmax really well, consistent under 1 inch.

Good product. Goes together as should, no problems.

Love this set-up handle's nice

Haven’t finished building yet but it is a good kit

I just got out today to shoot short range. This is my first AR and my first build. Went together nicely. Everything seemed to fit right. Great looking gun and lots of fun.

My only worry is that the bolt didn't fully feed a couple times. I had to pull it back and recharge. I'm not sure if it wasn't oiled well enough or what. Other than that, very satisfied with the quality of everything included.

Oh... Also, I was expecting a cool sticker to come with the kit. Very disappointing that that was omitted 😞

This was my first ar-15 build and it works flawlessly. The only problem I had was the pin for the trigger guard was too big. Easy fix at a hardware store. Everything went together easily with a gen1 lower receiver.

Not totally dissatisfied but not impressed with QC., Mismatched colors of screws, gouged charging handle, and scratched hand guard are my complaints. I cannot see how this would make it thru QC. PSA did offer replace, refund or $30 gift card. I went with the gift card and just plan to paint the rifle when I do get around to assembly. I have not assembled the rifle so I cannot attest to anything related to accuracy or function.

Best build for the best price. Got it all set up the other day and shoots very well! Would recommend to everyone

Build went together smoothly with no issues. Fantastic quality. Definitely lube up the bcg with a light coat of your favorite product before you take it out. Have yet to range test, but the quality of the parts is clear.

For all you get, can’t believe the price.

It’s going to the farm with me soon.

Excellent rifle. No complaints. Amazing deal.

This upper is exactly what I was looking for. It shoots well, too. No complaints.

I am new to PSA, but I have been a binge shopper ever since I received my first order. Excellent customer service!

I have put everything together with an Anderson lower. The gun is very nice and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to buy their first AR. The reason it lost a star is because the first time I went to shoot the gun it would not cycle. The gas block was loose so I tightened it down and the gun has cycled perfect since.

This was my second build and AR purchased from PSA. Excellent! Shoots like a dream and with 200+ rounds, no issues and great accuracy. First AR kit was basic AR to see what I liked and wanted in next build. It continues to shoot great and my wife likes it too. Saw this AR with everything I wanted...at least for now...and at a great price! Definitely would recommend this AR from PSA. They provide a great product.

Particular car obviously taken cutting the barrel crown and craftsmanship during assembly very good. No visible wrench marks or chipped anodizing. Excellent quality for the price!

I matched this barrel with a CTR MOE Complete Lower I bought from PSA too. It looks and operates like a dream. I matched the lower kit with a Anderson lower to use later. The kit went together like all the kits I have bought from PSA easily and perfectly. I am so happy this this whole set up that I really am considering buying another for the extra stripped lower I am sitting on. I wouldn’t be thinking about buying another if I couldn’t highly recommend. I own Springfield Edge, couple M&P’s , Ruger, FNH & Windham and would put this in the same class as all of them for a lot less. If you want an 18” barrel this is the way to go.

Awesome, high quality parts kit.

This thing drives tacks virtually out of the box.
Very, VERY happy with this purchase.
Have yet to get anything from PSA that was less than excellent.

Overall satisfied with my purchase.

Great shooting rifle, high quality and well built! Great trigger as well!

I already had a stripped lower and this kit provided everything that I needed to complete my build.

I am very pleased with the quality and the end results are great

Excellent product!! My Grandson wanted to build a rifle and this is the one he chose. Fit and finish was excellent and we went out Sunday afternoon and he was ringing steel at 300 yards after getting his sights settled down a little. Once on, it was like a laser beam and he was wearing out the steel very consistently!!

Thanks Palmetto!!

Everyone that has seen it likes the looks, everyone that has fired it, luv'ed it and had questions on how it was to build. Plenty of online videos.

I can't give it 5 stars because there are better AR15's out there. But it looks damn good and shoots good . Well worth the money !

Simply amazing. Could not be happier

This was my first rifle and I love it!!!

Love this rifle so much. Only have about 200 rounds through it so far, but no malfunctions, and shoots so smoothly. Easy assembly, everything fit together the way it should. I paired this with a Palmetto lower, so of course it fit like a glove. Definitely recommend!

Very nice kit everything fits perfectly

Very easy to put together and shoots really well. It's perfect for the long range shots at the local 3 gun match. I was nailing steel at 250 with no problem. I used a PSA stripped lower for the build and the fit and finish are great. I'm a big of the MOE pistol grip

Nice kit, built my wife a rifle that was light enough for her to be comfortable handling, and she loves it, have yet to put optics on it yet, so I can’t comment on groups yet, but she was ringing steel at 200 with the backup sights.

I ordered this for my boyfriend as a late Christmas gift. He had been sending me the link for days as a hint for what he wanted. He was super excited considering this would be his first kit & he’s always wanted to build one. Fast forward to the day he receives it, he opens the box only to be let down. It was missing almost all the pieces/parts. They only sent him the barrel! He checked every inch of the box but nothing. Super disappointing. I’m not sure if the fact that I ordered on Christmas & peak season had a part in this. But I feel as if I let him down & probably will not purchase anything from here again.

Received the rifle kit quickly and was in great condition. Built it on an Anderson lower. Great fit with the lower. Changed out the grip for a Hogue Rubber Grip Beavertail with finger grooves. Just my preferred grip. Added a Strike Industries Link Curved foregrip. Also added a Vortex Strikefire II which zero'd quickly. Accuracy at 100 yds was outstanding. Especially with just a red dot optic. I am very pleased with the purchase! Trying to decide if I want to build another.

Looks great, built it on an Anderson lower, fit is pretty good, no slop. Trigger feels great. Don’t see markings on bolt for HPT/MPI. A few knicks on the upper but that’s not a deal breaker at all. All of the lower build kit parts were separately packaged according to their places, even came with an extra detent and spring for that pesky pivot pin. Didn’t need it but if that thing flies out good luck finding it lol I will report back on accuracy after I get a chance to hit the range to see how it runs.

Great price, arrived on schedule, double packaged, it's all there, impressive package for the price. Have not assembled the lower yet, but know that will go well. Accuracy? No idea.

Just received this build and in a short time had it ready to go. I put a Leupold 3x9 40 ar mod 1 scope and Burris PEPR mount. and off to the range we go. First i live in Idaho and its wintertime and i don't mean a balmy 40. Its 6 deg. and the wind is blowing a strong 35 mph. got it on the paper fast and in no time had it Zeroed. this rifle shot 4, 3 shot sub min group at 100 yd in a blizzard. With federal 55 gr factory ammo I like to know the person who works at Palmentto that put this upper together, Because I like him or her to work on all my uppers i get from Palmentto. This build is easily the most accurate AR in my safe, and I have several Hi end rifle. at 4 times the cost. Good Job who ever your name is. This thing is AWESOME.

My review is strictly based on the condition of the upper upon arrival, and I hope to be able to update with a positive review after building and rectifying my issue. Received my kit today and upon opening they box i quickly noticed several nicks on the upper rail. The nicks are deep enough that they are silver in color instead of black. Not very happy that I have a nicked up rifle before it is even built!!!

Seemed like a nice setup. Got it together and couldn’t get it to cycle. Wouldn’t eject or chamber the next round. Called customer support and sat on hold forever and eventually gave up and sent an email with my order # and information but never heard back. Spent some time on YouTube and decided the gas block might be misaligned. When I got it apart it was visibly off center. I got it aligned and it seems to work well. Still pleased with the product but disappointed in the shoddy quality control and complete lack of service and support.

Amazing rifle so far!
