Forum members, I have just returned from my FFL's business and wanted to give a report of what I have received from Precision Firearms. Yesterday I received the barrel which is a Bartlein AR720, threaded with small brake, the gas block and tube, Phalanx bolt and carrier and several other misc. parts. As an old aero/space machinist I have to say that I was impressed and very pleased with all. Today I picked up the upper/lower and was as impressed, if not more so, with it. The fit is tight upper to lower and the barrel to upper fit is superb. I managed to wiggle the extension about 2/3 of the way into the upper in a few minutes but stopped at that point because the parts were dry and I feared sticking them together, they fit so tight. I am tickled to death with what I have to work with and as I am able to get the other parts purchased and assembled over the next few months I will try to report here. A big two thumbs up to Mark at Precision Firearms as it is due after all the questions I asked him and he so thoroughly answered. John
