I did a PSA 20 inch A2 and a 16 inch Freedom Rifle back in 2018. Did the complete uppers and lowers when they were on sale with free shipping. For other parts went with higher quality from other people. Got about $600 in each then. I have long wanted to do a 11.5 inch pistol. I just recently got a AK-47 from them. I am very impressed with the quality of the build.
@@OutdoorJack I both of them with circular hand guards with heat shields underneath and in the case of the A2 an A2 fixed stock. I put carry handles on them because I like that look. If I had been able to when Brownells had the retro line out I would have gotten every single one since I like that pattern of the M-16. I do when I have the money want to get a 16 inch with a rail and do the optic with red dot and light and laser on the rail.
My PSA 10.5" pistol has been 100% reliable. I bought the Magpul version kit and added a Spikes Tactical lower. The black on the PSA upper and Spikes lower matched up perfectly, like they were made for each other. Mine is sighted in and carried with 77gr. OTM's to maximize effectiveness with the shorter barrel. Practice with the 55gr. ammo does not show a lot of deviation at shorter ranges. Overall I am happy with the purchase!
Nice video, I have a PSA pistol lower, but Bear Creek Arsenal uppers in 10.5" and 7.5". I ordered another PSA lower, carbine this time, for a .410 Charles Daly upper I just got, so that will be its own firearm. Just a critique of when you were sighting in the rifle. I wouldn't rest the weapon on the magazine like you did, I'd use a bipod, bag, or something, that way the mag isn't the only thing supporting the rifle. You could see the rifle jumping up off the table when you were sighting it in. I've already got the 10.5" zeroed in, using Magpul flip-down sights and a Sig 20mm red-dot. I'm going to zero the 7.5" once I get another set of Magpul sights, it already has a Bushnell 26mm red-dot. Well-done video, just proves that PSA is a good alternative to pricey AR lowers and uppers.
Love my 10.5” but I’m only 5’10 and have relatively short(28” draw with a bow), muscular arms so that could be why it feels so nice to me. Or it could be because I’m running a 12” rail with a flash can which adds some length. I’m definitely not small, but I’m far from lanky
@@OutdoorJack question. There is so many reviews online with radical, PSA, Diamondback, BCM. Regarding reliability issues and budget AR’s. I don’t want to buy a problem. I need a 10.5 or 16 rifle that I can rely on. Can you give me your opinion? BTW. I have a PSA store 15 mins. Away. But haven’t gone yet.
See a 5.56 is a 5.56. AR snobs will say that you have to spend $2K for a Daniel Defense. I run a couple of hundred rounds through my Palmette AR-15 pistol weekly. My only complaint is the heat. But I haven't had any hiccups. Thank you PSA.
So the one I got was just under $600, it was actually a Blem model. However I didn't see any issues with it. This is nearly the exact rifle that is in stock and its $649.99 bit.ly/3mUQDCv
Check PSA website for coupon code. I was a first time customer at checkout and got the gun for $500. I wouldn't worry about stock inventory because they restock almost everything in about a week.
Not quite sure but this read like it would be - Bolt: Full-auto profile bolt carrier group. Shot-peened, mil-spec Carpenter No. 158® steel bolt. Gas Key Hardened to USGI Specifications, Fastened with Grade 8 screws, and Staked Per Mil-Spec.
At 10.5 and semi auto, it isn't a precision barrel and I wouldn't treat it as such. I run all my PSA ARs like they owe me money..... I have yet to be disappointed.
Ok I’m not being a smart ass, I’m asking this question because I just DO NOT understand………you said AR pistol in 5.56……….so why are you shooting it from the shoulder? Isn’t that a BigBeef right now ?
Yeah, your somewhat correct. It’s a weird thing. Lol 😂 if I am not shooting it I can call it whatever I like but technically to call it a pistol when you shoot it you need to only make sure it’s not touching your shoulder and your using the brace as a support not a stock.
I don't anyone that does not put an ar pistol to there shoulder even with a brace. Smh. But you can go ahead and wrap that strap around your arm and shoot it one handed. have fun.
Haha I defiantly don’t. PSA every once in a while will send me a rifle on loan to test. I test it out of the box the I can buy or send back. Most of the time I send back cus I spend to much on the ammo to test it 🤦🏼♂️
@@OutdoorJack Appreciate the reply, not many do that. I have been a mechanic since birth and the thought of metal on metal is like fingernails on a chalkboard. When you pull the "Love" handle on my AR it just whispers "Hello" in Obi Wan's voice.
@@OutdoorJack Muppets like this wear Jordan's but drive a used Prius because they think brands are more evident of quality than the employees that build these tools out of a devotion to the 2nd amendment. That devotion is why Australia is once again a prison island and America is free to move about the land as they see fit.
