@@alexwalker2582 the way the current court battles are going at the federal level Illinois may look very different in 2 years ... in a good way. We'll likely see state-level AWB and magazine capacity bans struck down for a start. FOID card requirements could also go away. Of course, that won't fix all the other liberal policies coming out of Chicago that are screwing up the rest of the state.
@@jeepninja1 So my PSA PA-15 in 6.8 SPC II has over 6k rounds through it with ZERO malfunctions cost me 750$ (sale) and I was getting .75-1.5 MOA with factory FMJ non-match ammo, hand loads I'm getting .5-.75 MOA groups. It was made in 2013 when Wilson was doing their barrels. I also have LWRCI, DD, and MEGA that cost 4-6 times as much and shoot just the same. Im thinking they are dominating the affordable market and I tell everyone that wants to grab an AR to look at PSA first. I will def be looking at this as a M110 clone :)
Until you run a PSA large frame through a low high volume count. See what happened with the T.REX video. I don’t think the Aero M5 made it to 1500rds, and that was .308 Win. Multiple things broke, including the extractor pin, firing pin, and the bolt catch set screw kept walking out. There are some not-so-flattering reviews of the new Sabre, with a huge gas port, handguard fasteners coming loose, and weird buffer system than departs from the proven Mil-Std. Doesn’t run well suppressed or unsuppressed with the lightweight carrier, needs a Bootleg to be installed to get it tuned, along with a normal buffer and SpringCo action spring.
@@lawless2078it’s pretty obvious it shoots accurately based off the 3 shot groups. 5+ shot groups are for getting an exact number. Still gonna be 1 moa or less
So yea I was a sucker...there I said it! But the fucked up thing is...when a civilian purchases the 30k deployment package...it's not complete! You don't get the mil grade "clip on thermal" that goes on in front of the luepold mk4 scope. Think I actually paid 28k though in 2014...
@@badfellow8422 it's a double-edged contradiction. Own and operate a machining company with 30 years in the industry doing contracts for SpaceX.. Many companies and manufacturers are capable of the same Quality Knight's Armament can offer..
They would be better if they actually had customer support which is non existent. For instance living in Maryland must have a heavy barrel for an AR to be legal but that's not info you can get off their website and they have no interest in answering your questions.
@virginiascurti5036 Seriously? I'm not trying to argue, but I've only had to deal with PSA customer service once over a very minor issue, and they had the issue squared away immediately, and the part came fast. That's just my experience.
Apparently, there are still QC issues with their AK trunion metallurgy. Having several of their products, everything else they seem to be making seems awesome.
I know that many would categorize PSA as an "entry level" gun manufacturer, but over the last several years, they're making VERY solid arms, on par with Aero and Colt, but still have that entry level price point. I always recommend Palmetto State to new gun buyers, because they always deliver
I just saw Texas plinking had a lot of issues. That being said I wannnna trust psa but the qc still just isn’t there imo. That being said the great warranty is nice and they have pretty much unbeatable prices. So I’d rather have something “better” or a company with better qc if I lm trusting my life to it, but idk maybe running it 500-100 rounds and if nothing is wrong then trusting it I wouldn’t have an issue with. Just heard a lot of qc stuff unfortunately.
@@themissinglightninglinkThe referenced Texas Plinking video is very easy to find. So is the video from 110 SASS Actual. Seems everyone that’s made a video, except MAC, has had issues with over gassing.
I had an SR 25, refurbished by knights. I got it at a “good price“ of around $3500. It shared all the same parts with the M110 minus the stock, and the gas block was missing the picatinny on top, but would accept the knights can. I fell onto some hard times and had to sell it (very sad about that), but I eventually picked up a PSA 10 for around $1000. it may not be as “clone, correct”, but nothing down range could ever tell the difference.
Same boat here. Recently had to sell a bunch of my guns including a Scar 17 and M1 Garand. I'm really mad at myself because I pawned them at a price far lower than what they are worth thinking I could buy them back at some point, but that's not going to happen lol. Life lesson learned I guess. I suppose the silver lining is once I get money flow again I can begin again with newer guns. Kinda wanted a scar 20 or MR762 instead of the 17 anyway🙂
It seems as though PSA has been seriously stepping up their game quite a bit. I love it when people and companies(especially American ones) do well, and constantly improve! Just makes me happy!
It's impressive to see a clone that not only replicates the look but also performs exceptionally well in terms of accuracy. The fact that it comes at a fraction of the cost of the original is a game-changer.
Range report. Mine is the 6.5 Creedmoor billet version. It ran perfectly. And it was extremely accurate with two different bullets. I reload. And had some reloads left over from another AR that I got rid of. Was not expecting for things to go so smoothly. I also installed a Ambi magazine release. Had to remove the bolt release. But they use a thread bolt instead of a pin. So it was simple to install. Thanks for the video. I was going to go with something else. But I’m so happy with this rifle.
I just bought a Gucci AR-10 but I feel like I should grab one of these just to support PSA, I really appreciate their commitment to get quality arms at great prices to as many citizens as possible.
They are doing an amazing job with the last few releases. They're no longer just a "budget" gun that works. They're something would actually want to own.
I carried the M110 for a few years, including an Iraq deployment. I found it to be superior to the M24 in pretty much every way other than comfort (hard to beat a Monte Carlo style stock). Using 175 gr. M118LR I never shot more than .5 MOA. Our initial range had us easily hitting 8" gong targets at 850 meters. This was in no small part due to the excellent TMR reticle inside the MK4 LRT optic since the crosshairs didn't actually touch in the middle making it possible to see targets that were smaller than the etched reticle lines. On the old M3A optic, a man sized target would just about disappear at 850 meters. This of course, made shots past that distance quite challenging, and luck always played a part. With the M110 however, 1000 meter shots were almost routine, and first round hits at 1100 became commonplace, though still quite challenging. Being a hardcore bolt gun fan, I was NOT looking forward to the M110 until that first range day. After that, I had zero interest in the bolt action rifles...until the XM2010.
I look at ammo so different now, coming from firearms and then getting into air guns. The ability to fine tune velocity and pick from an incredible amount of bullet grains, it just feels like you form a bond with your guns. lol I really love being able to fine tune, takes a lot of time, but it is satisfying in the end.
I looooooove airguns I was heavy into firearms and then had gotten in trouble one night out drinking been paying taxes for rights I don't have ever since but one thing I'm glad about it shifted my focus into other things like the air guns now I have big bores can hunt and do all the fun stuff plus not buying guns with every extra $ I have multiple nvg and thermal devices for airgun hunting once my rights are restored I'm on a whole other level when I re enter that world
Request: do this again using PSA AAC 6.5 Creedmore Their AAC line is about $1 per round. Their 5.56 match line has outperformed my federal gold medal match on my 5.56 gun.
To be honest with you, all of my rifles including my national match don’t shoot Gold Medal Match as good as regular ammo with the same bullet weight. I don’t quite know why the GMM is supposed to be the standard. Back before ammo prices went nuts GMM was relatively cheap compared to other ammo and I didn’t buy it very often. I thought of it as plinking ammo.
@@ecleveland1 It’s because the guntubers all claim it’s the best, but honestly the AAC stuff has run better than anything I’ve given it, including Winchester premium or IMI razor core.
@@JeffNeelzebubwell, anytime i see Mike from MGAG shoot it in a well put together rifle like a Daniel Defense or something it shoots closer to half inch groups then one inch groups. It almost always does between half and one inch groups. Its consistent. The new AAC is very good too especially for the price. Almost any well put together rifle will shoot sub MOA with the 77gr stuff.
@@OFFICIALUND What he found in his review of the Aero was hardly damning stuff. Mine has held up fine but I also haven't ran that many rounds through mine consecutively plus I assembled mine myself and put an adjustable gas block on.
A couple of weeks ago I saw that PSA has A1 and A2 uppers finally, too. They have brought so much great stuff to the market at great prices over the past few years, it’s almost unbelievable
I will echo other comments...PSA is killing it. Just bought a Sabre 13.7 from them...unbelievable the things that rifle has on it out of the box for the money.
Primers blow because your bolt is attempting to extract while pressure is high in the chamber. Gas timing, pressure, bullet speed, gas port length, gas tube length, and bolt carrier gas rings all play into it. Buffer weight can help but not the direct contributing factor.
That accuracy is impressive! Grouping just as good as my Hk Mr762 at 1/3 the price. Its a good time to be alive in the gun community. Some real killer affordable firearms have been hitting the market as of late
Wow. I wanted one but was concerned with first gen PSA products. That accuracy is phenomenal. This certainly jumps up a few rungs on my want list. Thanks for the first real review on the gun out there Tim!
I'll maintain my stance, this is no KAC equivalent. The SR-25 has other things going on under the hood that this thing doesn't. I will say this though, I've been watching PSA for a very long time. I've got a couple old guns built from their early parts. I can tell you I wasn't happy with their stuff back then, minus the 20" upper I got with the FN barrel. That barrel was awesome. Where they were then and where they are now are two totally different places. They've really listened, gotten better, tried to innovate, and they deserve some praise for what they've accomplished. Neat to see what they've done with this rifle and its cool to see that they' seemingly have it pretty dialed. Is the SR-25 worth the money, not for most people. I've seen them go for $8-12k. As a collector, If I had the money I'd shell it out for a M110k1 clone. This would serve most people just fine and doesn't hurt the wallet nearly as much.
I want one in .308 Ive been looking around for a clone of the M110 and was going to have a AR10 built by GNS Precision. Price is what it would come down to. This sure looks awesome!
Not sure if serious. Bear Creek makes tent stakes shaped like AR-15s. I’ve lost count of how many people show up in forums looking for help getting the BCA to run. As soon as I see BCA, I just opt out. It’s not our job to be their CS department. A close buddy of mine who I helped raise back when he was a young PFC and E-4 (now retired after 20 years of service) said he ran into a guy who used to work at BCA. I had never discussed BCA with him before, so there was no preconceived bias. He said the guy said, “Don’t walk, but RUN if you see anything from BCA.” This is the company that got raided for Immigration and Naturalization Services for whoever they had hired.
Very impressive, only down side is now that this video is out they won't likely be in stock for a while. PSA is really doing a great service by providing good and great guns at reasonable prices to keep patriots well armed.
This is the fourth review i watched on this gun and you are the only one who's give n praise so far. Everyone I've seen so far has been having issues with feeding, bolt not catching on empty, and failing to cycle. Some are claiming the gas system is to blame. i really want to buy one but I am glad to have waited for people to do reviews on them. Thank you sir!
I'm with you on this on. I saw m110 sass actual review on it and it was horrible. I know Mac has a sample size of 1 and his could be great, but it's been pretty apparent lately that Mac and PSA have some sort of deal. I remember the good ol days when Mac couldn't be bought. But hey, make that money. It's just hard for me to trust anything he says especially about anything PSA
Love my PSA! I would also be very interested in seeing these American made 308/6.5 rifles shot side by side to something like the Zastava M77, the Serbian AK chambered in 308. The rifle featured in this video is very tempting on my wallet, but I keep eyeing that M77.
I loved the Zastava M77 and came close to getting one. The ability to modify it was challenging. I also would recommend looking at the Rock River Run Lar8. I saw some on sale for $942.00 in my area. The weight and lack of it's ability to take AR parts made me go with the Ruger SFAR 16" in 308/7.62×51. Tim did an excellent review of the Ruger SFAR in 308. I picked one up on a military base for less than $1100.00. Just my opinion. Good luck in your decision.
My opinion I think anything AK is only good for shooting 7.62x39 any other caliber is best shot out an AR platform,I'm sure for bolt action any caliber should do great, I love my Gen3 PSA-10
Have a pa10 in 308. Total with a couple 20 rd mags, shipping, tax and transfer was under 800. I can shoot 1 moa/sub 1 moa groups regularly using federal 150gr sp hunting rounds which I can pick up at Walmart for about 26/20rd box. I can't argue with the results, especially considering I'm still learning how to shoot precision and don't have a good rest set up.
That Bug-a-salt rifle in the background is the star of the show! It's worth every penny. Flies,spiders,roaches, wasps, or any insect is no match for this bad boy!
awesome review of an Awesome gun. @ 51yr old and never having served, be honest I wouldn't know an M110, form an AR-10. however I can say that PSA m110 Clone is absolutely a beautiful work of art, Kudos to PSA for everything the do for the civilian market! Maybe one day I will be able to buy at least 1 of all of their platforms and clones
This is a great setup and good on PSA for making this happen. My Aero M5 scratches my itch for a 308 gas gun quite nicely, but this is a great option for those looking!
Absolutely love my Aero .308 M5, there were a couple of kinks to work out but that was more the BA barrel coming with a really undersized gas port, once I figured that out and opened it up to max upper limit and put an adjustable block on it for when I shoot it suppressed, with M118LR 175gr SMK HPBTs it’s far more accurate then my abilities allow, I’m getting older and do not have the steadiest hands anymore but I can still shoot 5 shot sub MOA groups with an occasional flyer that’s my fault and not the weapons, this PSA comes in at just a little more then 1/2 of what I have in it, and I topped my M5 with a NF NX8 2.5-20, the money saved by getting the PSA would almost pay for the optic by itself lol
definitely agree with what you said about factory ammo vs hand loads, if you have enough time to tailor a load to a gun you can easily see .25" groups out of a bolt gun. my 6mm gt is a laser beam that's capable of shooting .25" groups consistently whereas I'm not, the gun is capable of shooting better than me
Went to the PSA website after this just to see what else they made. They have a sale right now where you can pick up a PSA AR-15 for under $500. Absolutely insane. PSA is single handedly saving the gun industry.
When i first seen these in a PSA email...I immediately thought of the ArmaLite Super SASS...because of the 45° slant on the receivers and the adjustable gasblock...not the KAC 110... I guess it has abit of both to be fair.
Just keep in mind they sell these uppers with 2 different rail types. Make sure you are getting the one you want. I was very happy with the full rail setup. And yes I already have the gun put together ❤️ 🙌 amazing buy, shot 400 rounds out of the box perfect b4 I started getting any upgrades for it.
I tried to share a link to a video I made about it. Apparently I can't do that... I have a couple videos on my armory Playlist. And I'll have more content with the PA-10 that I got from PSA
This might be the first time I've seen a big-name RU-vidr shoot Sako ammo. I've been slowly accumulating TRG ammo since running across a video from a South African guy who kept gushing about the Scenar progectiles. And hey, I HAVE a Sako...so TRG ammo, out of a TRG rifle, makes sense.
When you can experience multiple 3 shot groups - all well within a Minute, you know this is precise accurat rifle - and for that price hahaha holy cow A FREAKEN BARGAIN - also love the caliber you choosed here - awsome video 10/10
I have an Armalite Super-SASS with the PRS stock and DPMS Panther grip, Atlas bipod, scope mount that's 20 MOA elevated and Leupold Mark 4 ExtRangeTac M5 Scope, adjustable gas suppressed. Really great accuracy out to 600 meters. I hit at 1000yds, but not as repeatable at that distance. Almost the same thing as the M110. It totalled about $5000 back then. Creedmor is better but didn't exist when I bought this. I load my own, so there wouldn't be any difference in ammo costs.
Picked up one of the psa ar10 awhile ago and reconfigured it to be a quasi m110 clone. With box ammo its nothing to write home about, hand loads with 175 smk its a solid dmr.
PSA keep doing the unexpected and making what buyer's really want, Considering how popular this is and the very likely large amount of rifles that PSA will sell this is going to be a platform that the accessories and parts manufacturers are going to jump on start making the small parts and accessories that finish it, PSA put the FN chrome lined barrels on some of their other platforms when they offer a upgraded model, That would be worth the extra coin if they do a Gen2 or Gen3 getting closer and closer, Obviously someone is going to produce a copy' of the over the barrel suppressor of the M110 that fits as that will be a must have, Also a scope thats nice quality that's looks like the original made to look the part, Also an adjustable stock, which I think PSA will come out with these themselves in a short amount of time, And eventually a complete deployment case with everything either the same or similar but good quality but reasonably priced, I think they could do a full case with everything for around 5k to 8k with a reasonable quality clip on night vision, A complete deployment kit for reasonable price would see people lose their mind that would be the sickest set probably ever,.
Everyone always knocked Palmetto back when they had issues with their Aks but i stood by them and have an AKV, AK 10.5, an 10.5 AR all going strong.. Also lifetime warranty says a lot about their product.
I love the FDA color. I wish that was standard on the PA 10 instead of black. I don't like to fix stock or the quad rail. I like what's on the PA 10 better. I would have to change it, so it doesn't make signs to pay extra for this gun. I really like the dagger!
Just wanted to give a shout out to copper customs. Got my Galil ACE gen 1 in 545/39 from them. They were about $1000 less than the insane gunbroker prices and customer service? Yeah outstanding.
Popping primers on factory ammo is a good indicator of an out of spec chamber. I'd be really careful to clean the carbon out of the chamber on that one, especially if you're using a can.
If the chamber is out of spec it should be popping primers on other brands. It doesn't seem like it would be this accurate if it had an out of spec chamber also.
@@actionjksn No, thats not necessarily true. Different manufacturers use different thicknesses of brass, this matters most in the neck area of the cartridge, that's why I mention to be careful of carbon build up. Carbon buildup in the neck of the chamber can cause pressure spikes.
I've seen multiple PSA AR-10 style rifles shooting sub-MOA. In some of these cases guys got the PSA to act as a beater for their LWRC/LMT/etc... and the PSA 'clone' outshot them.
Yes excellent rifle for the money. I shot my 6.5 CM and the best group was Hornady black. Suppressed the velocities were just below 2700fps. Funny thing was my GAP Accuracy International 308 Bartlein progressive twist barrel had better ballistics characteristics owing to a faster 175g SMK bullet. The PSA M110 kept up w the GAP AI bolt gun out to 800 yards easily. Great choice in featuring a rifle.
Way better than the original M110, the average brand new out of the box M110 shot 1.25 MOA, the best shooting M110 I ever shot was .75 MOA. I probably got to shoot 50 (44 brand new) M110s during my time in the Army(as a sniper/SOTIC instructor).
PSA is hands down my favorite manufacturer. They might not be on-par with Gucci brands and they might not innovate but they make things no one else is making (in mass) and offer them for a fraction of the cost. And the industry HATES it.
I agree with the PSA comment. Just bought my first AR-15 on sale for Labor Day. Insanely nice, especially given the price. I was a firearms instructor for my LE department, so always had one to use without buying one. I am strongly considering picking up one of their handguns for my daughter to practice with (11yo, and loves my Glock 17).
All the features this rifle is pushing just slapped all high end SR25 clones to shame. I just decided to stop dreaming on owning a LMT MARS-H all of a sudden. The PSA M110 Clone is affordable and soon to be seen in the wild! I just might buy one!
I’m torn. For the same price I can get a Sig Tread in .308 or a retro Springfield M1A. For $400-500 less I can grab a Ruger SFAR. I feel the best bang for your buck battle rifle is the Daniel Defense DD5, but when you look at guns $1000 less than that, the water is really murky to me.
