Blem Kit

Palmetto's launch of their Generation 2 kits has been rocky to say the least.

My kit seems much better than what many people got.

I took pictures of the problem areas others had.

The lower handguard retainer is a bone of contention with Palmetto cutting a double slot for a future development.  Mine is only very slightly oblong.


The cast bolt carrier that happens at the "Freedom" level has bother a lot of people.

Mine doesn't appear to be too rough, but if they're offering a free upgrade to forged, why not take them up on it?


They have been fully blasted for using a roll pin to retain the gas piston.


One person in particular had atrocious machining for the bolt-cam surface.

Mine's fine.
