    Wow - heavily considering this. I've got a lower I've been sitting on since around 2013 that I have yet to do a build on - this is pretty much dirt cheap for this kind of rifle.

    I just went to the site - they have 3 different blem rifle kits for $269. What's the difference between a 16" heavy carbine rifle kit and a 16" heavy mid length rifle kit? Seems to me they'd be the same thing.

    So after a couple of minutes of Google-fu, I came to the conclusion that the two have (potentially) slightly different gas operating systems. Allegedly an order may have been placed for a rifle kit which may or may not be a 16" heavy mid length kit. I can neither confirm nor deny anything.

    Dang! I looks like I may have, allegedly, gotten the last one. Honestly, I was kind of surprised they were still available at that price today - I tried to buy one on Friday evening, but I was doing it over my phone, and for some reason, it declined the credit card I was trying to use, although I suspect it was more due to the browser on my phone. Then I sat on it all weekend. Today I decided it was going to be a Christmas present - literally, I won't actually get it in my hands until Christmas, but that's ok - it will give me something to do over Christmas break.

    Guys, get on their email list!!!!!!

    I get a deal a week from them! Never had any issues with my Del-Tons!

    Lastest deal is a 20" Govt Profile rifle kit, that I may get for the kit part alone! Comes with an A2 butt stock, spring and buffer. $322

    Yeah if you don't have a pre 2013 upper may be an issue.

    Received my mid-length heavy blem kit the other day, can’t find even the slightest hint of a scratch or defect on it..no idea why it was considered a blem but I’ll take it! Really happy with it for the price. May have to grab another if that deal pops up again.

    Check bolt carrier front - mine had the black wore-off/not applied.

    Still haven’t built mine from one of the deals earlier this year. I consider this the MD-legal equivalent of the Palmetto State Armory kits, since PSA never has HBARs...
