Having the right tools is paramount.

With the roll pin starters no need for tape.

It’s not so much for the punch as it is for the armorers hammer on a sloppy hit...trust me, it can happen and a soft brass hammer head leaving a smudge is just as visible as a ding in anodizing

10.5" barrel with BCG and CH came in today. It was ordered on the 3rd. I guess that's not too bad for PSA.

I was thinking they had a notice on their website about a 10 day or 2-week shipping timeframe ... Or is that just for assembled uppers/firearms?

Edit to add, I'm too lazy to go look for myself ... and kind of afraid that I'll buy something too!

If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.

I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either

Order from PSA had 3 items. All 3 were shipped in separate boxes with separate labels.

Who does their shipping? LOL. I'm pretty sure it cost more than the $12 they charged me for shipping.

Like anything else, all the knowlege in the world isnt going to help you if you dont have the right tools.
