Psa deal with bcg more better
lennyxiii@reddit
Got mine yesterday (599) and honestly i really like it. I own 2 other DDs (ris ii m4a1 and ris iii in 11.5) and i must say i like it more than the ris iii for some reason.
Diehugelivefast@reddit
Because it’s lighter and an insane value. I enjoy certain things more when I feel like a got a good deal.
Belezibub@reddit
My 11.5 overrun came in and it is light as hell. Awesome deal at $600
Spreadeaglebeagle44@reddit
I refreshed reddit every ten seconds for three days for that deal and didn't get it.
Entire_Routine_3621@reddit
Just got mine as well, the rear sight is perfect for 1/3 co witness and my optic works perfect with it as backup irons. Very happy with how it turned out.
leemaverick@reddit
If you look at the newest reviews on PSA site, some received DD branded bcg for this round and some didn't. Very interesting.
Entire_Routine_3621@reddit
Not really, the contract specified no branding on the BCG. So if customers got one it’s because it was swapped out.
leemaverick@reddit
Swapped out by whom though? PSA said they don't even touch them but ship out with original boxes sealed.
Entire_Routine_3621@reddit
I don’t understand your question. They stated the customer requested no printing on the BCG. It’s super simple
leemaverick@reddit
If you go to the psa dd contract overrun complete upper product page and look at the latest reviews (sorted by date), 2 folks specifically said they were shocked that their bcg are dd branded. We all know what psa and dd cs said about unbranded bcg.
leemaverick@reddit
The newest ones from PSA seem to have BCG marked. Does your BCG have DD marking?
lennyxiii@reddit
No, its the unmarked dd bcg.
operatorx4@reddit
How? Last in stock was $800
lennyxiii@reddit
They increased it to 800?? It was 599 last week then 699 a day later
wormraper@reddit
No. That's $699 drop was the last one they had. It never went up to 800
operatorx4@reddit
With tax and shipping it 8 or very close to it. Shipping was $45
wormraper@reddit
Oooooo. That was with that stupid insurance. Uncheck that shit and it goes down to $19.99
But yeah. I see where you got your number from then.
lennyxiii@reddit
That’s what i thought, so he has no idea what he’s talking about.
wormraper@reddit
well, several places elsewhere had it for $799, so maybe he transposed their prices on PSA.... *shrug
Traditional-Hat-952@reddit
Not unless you don't want to brace or sbr it.
ITrade4Life@reddit
Is it in stock?
Harriettubmaninatub@reddit
It is not :(
jdavis13356@reddit
I need a 16" upper for a project. I was looking at the BCM mid length ones. Any reason to get this over the bcm? Im honestly not that impressed with my DD5V4 from Daniel defense
StylesBitchley@reddit
For me it would come down to preferences and the particulars. This has the fixed irons if you need that. I like the DD barrels have a pinned gas block, but HATE government profile. If it came with BCG then it would be a deal, otherwise not that great IMO.
cltnthecultist@reddit
Friends don’t let friends buy government profile barrels
Solid-Weird-7346@reddit
Why do government profile barrels suck?!
cltnthecultist@reddit
They’re unnecessarily heavy out front, the exact place they should be light, and light near the chamber, the exact place they should be heavy. They were developed dude to fallacious reasoning and bureaucracy. There’s zero reason for them to exist at all, let alone be the standard.
ButteredDingus@reddit
Wasn't the reason for the govt profile that barrels were gauging out of spec for straightness, but it ended up being the gauge that was bent?
cltnthecultist@reddit
I’ve heard several stories about something like that, who knows what the exact reasoning was.
Solid-Weird-7346@reddit
What are the best barrel profiles then?
Both_Ad_694@reddit
Medium contours like Sionics and Criterion. Pencil and BCM ELW for the lightest.
cltnthecultist@reddit
Something that is probably referred to as modern taper. Think something like a reverse government profile, heavier near the chamber and lighter near the muzzle.
StanfordWrestler@reddit
Pencil, if you want light weight. Tapered like a Criterion Core if you want durability and balance.
StylesBitchley@reddit
everybody knows they suck, even the manufacturers. yet they still keep making them. i watched a video this morning where Bill Geissele was talking about how dumb government profile is, while showcasing it on one of his own guns(ALG El Jefe). I'm just thinking, "hey i'll pay another $10 if you machine some more off the front end while on the lathe". so stupid
mynewaccount5@reddit
Government profile?
Privy_the_thought@reddit
Made an account and code didn't work. I'm guessing I'm missing some details?
jdavis13356@reddit
I think you had to have already had an account.
GuysLeeFanboy@reddit
Where $600 block 2?
Bubbacubba@reddit
Will midwayusa ship to Washington?
ARealHumanBeans@reddit
Is this a solid deal?
ChiefBigGay@reddit
Imo from what I've seen if it had a BCG and CH it would be a screaming deal these days. I think it's still decent, but with PSA recent $550 deal for the 11.5 DD with bcg/ch this is quite a bit less of a deal comparatively.
Belezibub@reddit
It was 599 then they pushed it up to 699 sadly. I got it at 599 and it was a hell of a deal
leemaverick@reddit
He said $550 probably because there was a 10% code welcome10 (my receipt says $539.99 actually)
ChiefBigGay@reddit
Yeah I refused to buy at 699, was waiting to purchase at 599
AssaultPlazma@reddit
Does anyone know where you can still find DD marked lowers l?
apopkared@reddit
It’s like the bottom of the barrel for them . One of the biggest selling point is the quad rail which is NOT part of this setup .
zGoDLiiKe@reddit
Now give me the s version plz
ChaseGauthier46@reddit
Can someone please find a deal on a ddm4a1 RIS II upper
usertimes37@reddit
Get the 10% discount for signing up (if possible), pair it with this $92 microbest and a decent charging handle and you got yourself a solid upper

TheGunFather412@reddit
Warhammer is as good as the grip n rip imho. I’d upgrade to a sledgehammer though for a great deal. With that BCG. That’s the set up I have. I put a saber lower on it with the G$ SSA. Riffle slaps it pushes my LWRCI for about $500 less
Cypa@reddit
Just for reference, this is only $20 more OTD than it was around this time last year. Very happy with mine, but wish I would have waited around for any of the RIS or overrun deals on a purely value basis
TheGunFather412@reddit
I picked up this and RIII deal last year. I would buy this again 100%. The overrun is nice because of the BCG but I don’t love front sight post and the grip and rip is not the best charging handle. This barrel has performed amazingly well.
ChiefBigGay@reddit
What do you mean by those deals?
Cypa@reddit
Just saying that in a bubble I would have rather bought the complete overrun upper ($600-650) or the stripped RIII ($550-600). Those deals aren't around anymore so it doesn't matter. Although the CO will probably come back.
ChiefBigGay@reddit
Ahh ok I see. If this has the BCG and CH I would buy it. I feel like this is a solid deal in 2025.
Cypa@reddit
If it were complete it would be a no brainer. PSA lower + GAFS can get you damn close to the "$1000 gun".
shelvisv@reddit
These were about $538 delivered with with the right coupon stack shipping and Tax back before Black Friday 2024. Brownells has that RIS!!! 14.5 deal for about the same price same price and picked up one.. Left brain argures with the right brain abour which was a better deal.
Privy_the_thought@reddit
Any chance we see more of these during big sales?
usertimes37@reddit
This deal is around pretty often, i snagged mine last September at $640 list price then did the 10% first time custy code. May drop back down to this around 4th of July or BF sales
Paired it with a sub-$100 microbest and I’m super happy with it.
I know people are mentioning the shorter barrel deal but if you need a 16” to avoid SBR stuff (Cali boys), this is good and readily available. I’ve seen that other deal goes quick
tefl0n18@reddit
Need that DD 10.5” quad
Iil-tab@reddit
Dude I’ve been so mad I’ve missed all the psa dd 11.5 overrun
Iil-tab@reddit
I got this upper last Black Friday and has been my most favorite and accurate did get it for like 590 tho I’d still full send it
gilbert2gilbert@reddit
16 inches? Whoa there, buddy
BahnMe@reddit
This or 4.5 radical uppers to start a neighborhood posse?
GuitRWailinNinja@reddit
Gosh damnit I don’t need one but I want one.
If only Cali didn’t keep trying to pass more BS laws, I wouldn’t feel the need to keep buying
FrostyBit7602@reddit
I feel like they say it’s contract overrun to part more money from individuals. 😂.
