    Well, I stumbled across this today:

    http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/psa-18-hammer-forged-ss15g2-rifle-kit.html

    Anybody care to comment on quality and/or value of this?

    I am a total noob to the AR platform, but this fit just about every one of my initial check boxes. I don't think I'm ready to jump in and buy this right now, but I would like to know if this is something I should put on my wish list (and at what price). At first glance, parting this together looks like a fair deal, but I don't really know if that is the case.

    Thanks!

    That trigger seems like fairy dust or unicorn farts, and it jacks up the price. The PSA kits seem to be nice, but don't spend the extra dough on a gimmicky trigger.

    Ha, yeah that trigger description sent up some red flags for me too. That and there's no description of the rail system. I am curious about the FN barrel since it isn't available anywhere as a stand alone component that I see. What are the prevailing opinions on them?

    PSA is reputable, a hammer forged barrel and enhanced trigger group make that a pretty darned good deal! :thumbsup:
