Hmmm.... you got me thinking.But honestly one of the higher priced PSA's with a FN barrel and a better BCG it should do just fine.
I love my PSA. If the barrel wears out at 5k rounds I can send it in and they will replace it free of charge. I am not shooting full auto or suppressed. It will likely last longer than I will. My next one will probably be a PSA as well.
have just concentrated on bolt action rifles...I find them more interesting.
I'm impressed.
How many ARs purchased by the average American ever see 5K rounds? For a typical American who needs to defend home and hearth, and desires to have powder and ball, and a suitable arm, as a member of the militia; and will shoot and train little the PSA appears to be a solid option.
What kind of malfunctions do you see a lot of?IME,
Attending and conducting AR classes I have a low opinion of PSA. When run hard PSA is lacking compared to other brands. I keep notes of what AR malfunctions during classes.
You don’t have to spend lots of $$ cash look at S&W, Ruger, Mossburg, Savage, DPMS, Bushmaster.
It is invaluable to attend a AR class if you want actually use your AR. It’s not designed for punching holes in paper.
Don't own a lever action, but do several handguns.This is precisely the reason I swapped to a Geissele/BCM. I had about 3k rounds through my PSA but noticed the gas rings were worn. I did enjoy it and it was a gateway drug to the AR world but it did have its downsides. Good gun.
For me it became lever guns and handguns.
I watched a few videos on their AR10s and many said that was the issue they found with theirs (new BCG should remedy it).@Kdf101
The main ones on PSA failures to extract and eject. One had a cracked bolt I don’t think I have ever witnessed that.
One of the best things about a Carbine class you get to know what works and doesn’t. You also get see other students weapons and set up.
Doesn't matter what rifle make you have.@Kdf101

A good private range will. Proteq is one of them.Doesn't matter what rifle make you have.
You have to run them to find problems and fix them if they arise.
If you don't have a backyard range, a carbine class would do the job for you.
I highly doubt any respectable range will allow you to run your AR-15 hard, and from multiple positions without being in a class.
All business expenses, I’m curious as to how much the video will make him.Something like $2400-$3600 of ammo to test out a $300 upper. (actually, they were using the SMK 77gr AAC, so more than that, lol)
I'm impressed.
Hmmm.... you got me thinking.
Ok, now that **** cray! (and by that I mean awesome, lol)
I have a psa AR10, no issues with the bolt yet (haven’t shot it a lot), but I could never get it to group at all which I’m guessing is the barrel or head spacing or maybe even the ammo (older military stuff). It’s so bad I kind of just put it in the corner and left it for now.I watched a few videos on their AR10s and many said that was the issue they found with theirs (new BCG should remedy it).
I'll second the class is a great place to test your gear (and watch what works / doesn't work with others).
Still very happy with my S&Ws AR15s... haven't had a hiccup yet.
As it should be !On their website his motto is
Freedom over Profit
Palmetto State Armory’s core principle remains the same, and our commitment to freedom before profit remains unwavering. The idea is simple:
SELL AS MANY GUNS TO AS MANY LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS AS POSSIBLE.
Putting guns into "common use" is an important legal defense established by the Supreme Court that safeguards the rights of the people against tyranny by prohibiting restrictions on firearms found to be "in common use". Putting any gun into "common use" protects against any attempt by the government to further infringe on the Second Amendment right of all Americans.
