I built a midlength with all PTAC stuff on an Anderson lower a little while back during their Easter sale. I was into it for $450 after shipping and tax. It groups great with brass, but won't eat steel case for anything.


I've read this about the steel case and PTAC a couple times. They said the polished the chamber and feed ramps and everything was GTG. In case you want to try it.

If it was anything other than a spare, I might. I rarely shoot steel, but I was comparing the PSA premium I built a month before to the PTAC budget that I was taking out for the first time. I had a box of steel case that had somehow made it into my range bag, so I thought I would try it out. The gun shot brass very well, and grouped great from the first shot, if to the right. I blame the inferior sight, which is now adjusted all the way to the left to shoot straight.

 

It would chamber and fire off the charging handle, but it would fail to feed the next round. It did this three or four times in a row, requiring removal of the mag, removing the half stripped round, and charging a fresh round, only to jam again. I took the mag and ran the remainder through my other AR and it ate them all. I then ran another magazine of brass through the budget rifle and it ate them all up like nothing.

 

I honestly don't know why I built this one other than the fact that the price was right and I didn't want to say in a year or two's time that I missed out on the days that ARs were so cheap.
