you should get yours headspace checked to make sure what you are doing is safe.

by this statement, I assume these uppers are headspace verified
and ready to drop onto a mil spec lower.
is this correct?
thanks!
Correct, complete uppers are ready to be used out of the box.

so the headspacing is only checked on complete uppers, and not individual barrels?

When I bought my upper, the sales guy talked about proper headspacing. In terms of mounting a barrel, what exactly does it mean?

everyone building a rifle should have gauges. i have 5.56 gauges, still trying to find someone with 300blk gauges in stock.
So you have excessive headspace?

Talk to PSA yet?
