I wonder if it’s MIM? QC is to blame here. I have a PSA lower…the “AR-14” with Bidens “Dog Faced Pony Soldier” on it. I should have bought 10 of those lowers.
Psa sucks. They just can't make sht work. I build AKs and have used a few of their parts... All out of spec and heat treatment was non existent. They just make trash guns.. They need to get a fck quality control department for fck sake ! Its ridiculous AF
Garand thumb ran one full auto up 5k rounds and only stopped because it ran way beyond expectations. They all could have bad parts. All of them. Even the big names. Get off your high horse.
For what I can see he/they have been going with the cheapest and there is nothing wrong with it. However, I have PSA uppers and lowers and no issues yet. I do up grade the internals in all my tools, never leave them as they come from day one.
Lol gtfo out my comment section with that pronoun queer shit. I've got guns that cost over 4k....psa is junk and you shouldn't speak on things you know nothing about.
Anyone else have a peak on the feed ramp of their USP 45F, USP 45T, or HK45. All three listed pistols I just bought all are '23 date code and all have the same triangular peak on the feed ramps.
The majority of PSA barrels are done in some factory that is NOT FN ... unless you buy a higher tier priced PSA gun then youre not getting an FN barrel. Wtf is it with the ratchet PSA dweebs who will go to war for PSA even though they make junk guns.. sure everyone makes bad stuff at times but PSA has a substantially higher failure rate
That's unacceptable in my opinion. Less than 1k rounds. If they cannot produce a solid product that works and holds up, then they shouldn't be making it.
@@TerriblyTactical Than no company would be manufacturing... Every single company has problems, its finding them that becomes the expensive part, because it takes time. Some companies check every bolt like solgw and there production numbers allow that. Most do whats called a batch testing where hundreds and sometimes thousands get checked good based on a handful of them. As someone who sent back a radian BCG for a defect, your opinion doesn't mean much. Where PSA slacks in certain CQ, they have great customer service... And again, you get what you pay for, their entire purpose is to produce enough rifles for a low enough entry price to where every American could afford one... If you dont like it, maybe buy something a little higher quality...
Looks like a crappy PSA nitride bcg. I've purchased their phosphate bcgs which are chrome lined and made by microbest. They're apparently a manufacturer of bcgs that companies use to put their own logos on. Was this one a microbest? Disconcerting to say the least, what happened here.
@@TerriblyTactical Sucks spending money on something for it to fail, be ever worse for it to fail when your life is on the line...Good thing it failed now when you didn't need it.
People believe what they want to believe. I have 2 PSA ARs and a Jakyl pistol. Approaching 8k rounds combined and outside of handguard bolts needing locktight and retorqued, no issues. I bet some here carry a Sig P365 that currently has 200+ lawsuits for inadvertently firing for whatever reason, and I bet you're still carrying them. Point is that one failure or model doesn't define a company. Grow TFU and be adults...
@@TerriblyTactical Why would I lie? You're insignificant. Just on numbers, you have a sample size of one, and I have three. Who's more likely lying? Lol
I've had several issues with psa throught the years and seen others have plenty. All yall be lying about round counts and don't actually shoot or train. Sit down.
@@TerriblyTactical I gave honest round count numbers above. It sounds like you're just in denial. From 5.56, 9mm, 300BO, 22lr, I've got >20k rounds through their products and in practice, they're better than Glocks.
I'm not defending or saying people should or should not buy any particular brands of rifles but you telling people to not buy one brand because you had one incident taking place when you were literally firing the weapon probably at the outside of was designed to do cuz you were firing it like it was in a full auto mode let's be honest here and these weapons are not designed for that. So telling people not to buy a brand because of one instance where you were essentially testing the limits of the manufacturing and engineering but more importantly one instance out of however many of these guns they sell fat people fired arranged that this does not happen to and you telling people that their guns going to blow up tells me you don't understand anything about statistical probability. Some more gun tube dip shites telling us how math works when they can't even figure it out for themselves...
@@TerriblyTactical a big factor in that would be barrel extension being clocked ever so slightly to one side or the other. Aka the lugs of the bolt not lining up correctly with the teeth of the barrel extension and they smack into each other when chambering a round. Then that puts enormous pressure on the lugs when trying to extract. This would more than likely snap lugs off the bolt than split it in half, but still a factor. Straightness and timing of everything as well like the carrier inside the receiver. So many factors to consider and not just what the bolt is made out of
Exactly. The problem could be an out of spec upper or a bunch of different things. If that happened to me I'd also be sending the upper back to stag arms and making them double check everything. Thats if stag arms is as good with warrantys as psa is.
@cd4498 lol psa is not good with customer service and they have to have lifetime warranty because this shit happens to them constantly cuz they refuse to do things right the first time.
@@TerriblyTactical i dunno ive had good experiences with psas customer service. Yes ive had to use them lol. This could happen to any companys bcg especially if the uppers out of spec. Not saying it is but ya never know. Doesnt tool craft make bolts for psa? Are you sure you even got one manufacturered by them?
This is a known weak point to the AR platform, the cam pin area of the bolt. It an break here, though any bolt failure us rare, it can happen. I wouldn't jump to blaming the mfg, especially based on a sample size of 1. Contact them, and get a new bolt. If you are worried about headspace, which likely isnt a problem, get yourself some go/nogo gauges. Rifle is fine. You just had a failure, it happens.
No...it's unacceptable...psa is trash. This is not the only issue I've had or seen others have. Stop coping and believing the hype. They are a shit company with shit products.
PSA uses Mil-Spec shot-peened Carpenter 158 steel bolts in their rifles. Mil-Spec is Mil-Spec so the same could happen to any Mil-Spec bolt by anybody else. Many of their bolts are sourced from Toolcraft. Regardless, they all have the PSA lifetime guarantee so will replace it if contacted. I have never had a problem with mine and if what you saw happened frequently at all then that's all you'd be reading about on RU-vid. Which is absolutely not the case.
@@TerriblyTactical LOL, will that's a prime example of what they call "contempt prior to investigation." The PSA website says they are Mil-Spec and why they are. MANY other experts such as Chris at Small Arms Solutions (who used to be high-up at Colt and a recognized world-wide authority on the AR platform) says they are- check out his YT reviews of PSA ARs. I'm on RU-vid gun channels A LOT and no more than 1-2% of them report a serious failure like you had. You are permitted to have a bias against them and hate them if you must. But at least some of your viewers will call BS on outright lies you tell that are not supported by plenty of evidence.
Oh look, someone new to PSA lemons. Granted this is a sizable one. Experienced a handful of issues from PSA myself. They had a few years to get things together, but I guess it is more profitable for them to pump max amount of sales instead of doing things right. To all the PSA fanboys claiming just warranty it: This could be a life or death situation, failure isn't an option!
@@TerriblyTactical I would go with LMT if you have the budget. DD and Geissele are also pretty good, BCM would the cheapest option that I still trust. DDM4 PDW is a good option for a short 300aac. Now that EF4s are pretty quick, buying a factory SBR isn't that painful anymore.
“Surprised the gun didn’t blow” ??? Why would the gun blow from a cracked bolt? Next thing you’re going to say is if you hold the forward assist, the whole gun will explode too
That's a lemon bruh. Considering I've built out probably 10 to 12 rigs through them, usin their bolts and parts and have ran them over 5 years. I've never seen a bcg do that, (we shoot every week aswell) we've ran everything from bottom of the barrel rigs like DPMS, PSA, Bear creek arsenal, up to SOLGW, BCM Giessle, LMT and knights. Like I said you got a lemon.
Out of the parvorty pony guns, ANDERSON SUCKS never had ANY problems out of PSA or BCA other than PSA steels your mags and sells them after you payed for them and we'll everyone knows 9mm pcc and hollow points but that being said in my opinion that was from accesive bolt bounce ijs but hey but the bolt did look brittle but I'm just going by the video 😅
Oh hell no, seen similar situations with Aero bolts...stick with BCM or SOLGW or a good milspec chrome bcg from what I've seen. Microbest phosphate bcgs apparently are good to go.
@jdc8352 no I'm promoting their products cuz I have actually used em and for what they are and their price point, they are a solid option. Not everyone can afford a pvs14 let alone dual tubes.
