Building my first AR - need opinions... (Oh boy!....)

[KahrHeart]

Hey all...I'm building my first AR. (Sorry, I initially posted the same link twice!)

I had decided on this upper... but Palmetto is always out of stock.
PSA 16" Mid-Length 5.56 NATO 1:7 Phosphate 13.5" Lightweight M-Lok Upper - With BCG & CH - 5165448217

How does this one compare?
PSA 16" Mid-length Nitride 5.56 NATO 1/7 Pencil 13.5" M-Lok Upper - With BCG and CH -7793493


Which one would you prefer?


Thanks!

That's what I kinda' thought, but the specs don't read the same so I was a little concerned.
I have a couple of AR's, but this is my first build and I want it to be good.
I have the Palmetto lower, so I'm sticking with the Palmetto upper for consistency

Thank you so much!

Toss a two headed coin...

Well I ordered a AR STONER upper a few weeks ago but it was 268 bucks but I couldn't pass on a blem for 199 with everything when they say blem it's usually just a scratch or something I will probably paint it anyway

I've got quite a few blems from PSA, and I must say, their standards are much higher than mine. I couldn't find any issues on any of them.

Damn! I sure did. Okay...I've fixed it.
Thanks!

Yep I got a blem barrel form them. I think it was from them lol the scratch was where the gas block goes lol you can't see it anyway

 

[KahrHeart]

There the same

I accidentally posted the exact same ones

Arent they the same?

Yep...accidentally posted same link. Fixed now.

i prefer not a pencil barrel. any reason you want a pencil barrel?

 

[KahrHeart]

I have a PSA lower and a really cool handguard...a new ergo grip and a nice trigger guard.
I'm going to change the trigger to a 2-stage...
And now I need the upper.

I want a fairly light weight barrel for easier carrying.
I'm a 5'1", 53 y/o woman.
I live in the woods and want to carry it when hiking..so I'm trying to build it as light as possible.

All you need is a barrel and a upper .
Well you need BCG and stuff I don't know it might be cheaper to buy it all together or separately
