After seeing how PSA builds their rifles, uppers, and other components I don’t have much issue passing this deal along. When they are offering an M-LOK rifle kit under $300, it is hard to ignore that.
While this isn’t what I would call a “duty” rated rifle kit, it does offer quite a lot of gun for the money.
While touring their facilities with Ammoland I built a rifle that was very similar. As I said, the kit offers a lot for the money like a 15″ M-LOK handguard, a solid upper receiver, and a 16″ 1:7 twist barrel. If you are looking for something to go hunting with, plink at the range, or even start your AR-15 journey, this might be a good option.
I mean, it is a M-LOK rifle kit under $300. You can’t be mad at that as long as you keep things in context.
Where To See It:
I have put some links to the rifle kit below as well as some stripped lowers and a couple of pistol kits. You could feasibly build a 5.56 pistol for as little as $309.98, or the 16″ rifle or .300 BLK pistol for as low as $ 339.98.
This really is the golden age of AR-15s.

If you happen to have a spare lower laying around, this would be a good one to snatch up. When I shot mine it outperformed my expectations in terms of accuracy and while I didn’t shoot thousands of rounds, I didn’t see any reliability issues.
I mean, at the end of the day we are still talking about an M-LOK rifle kit under $300, the fact that it was acceptably accurate and ran without malfunctions is pretty impressive.

PSA’s customer service can help you with those steps. We are not a retailer, this was a post about some good deals we wanted to share.
Maybe an article about how to buy a gun online legally is in order.
