My $50 PSA lower is getting lonely. After much research, I have decided to go with a PSA rifle kit for my first AR build. Now, the decision relies on what kit I want to purchase. This is just going to your basic, KISS AR with iron sights.
My question lies in the 14.7" barrel kit. On PSA's website is says that the A2 flash hider is pinned and welded into place. Does that mean that once it is pinned and welded the barrel is 16"+ making it a legal rifle length, or would it be a 14.7" barrel after flash hider is permanently attached?
Here is a link to the kit I am thinking about:
Palmetto State Armory 14.7'' 5.56 Hammer-forged, Chrome-lined Mid-length Rifle Kit
