      Bullshit. As far as AR’s, best bang for your buck. But there are way better AK’s for affordable prices (Zastava ZPAP, WBP Fox, KUSA). Please don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know what you’re talking about. PSAK’s have had a lot of issues in the past and afaik they have yet to improve them.

      Even celebrity paid shills admit that palmetto AKs beat themselves to death. Maybe it'll work, but it won't survive 4,000 rounds. As far as I can tell, they still frick themselves up over time. It's not a material problem, it's a build quality problem.

    I don't buy anything except for small parts like detents, springs, etc but they're unironically solid for the money. I wouldnt expect the things to hold up forever, or to be super insanely accurate but it's a pretty hard value to beat. You can get a decent quality, accurate enough rifle that will be generally reliable for like $600. It's like the new balance of AR's.

    top is my bro's AR from PSA. obviously its not gucci, but it does every he needs it for which is plinking and home defense.
    my only critique was that the selector switch was very mushy and didn't audibly "click" into place like you'd expect, it just sort of silenty shifted. the castle nut staking was also dogshit but staking is a meme imho

      yeah I have a psa lower with otherwise good components on the rest of the rifle. The tolerances in the lower means that I don't get positive clicky safety manipulations but otherwise it runs fine.

    I put together this busch light tier A4 with a PSA kit. Its a really great rifle and its one of my favorite ARs to shoot. It does about 2 inch groups at 100 yards with some run of the mill PMC 193s. Staking on the gas key is well done, taper pins in the FSB are 3rd grade pussy tight, stock has no wobble, its just a fun rifle to shoot. Might swap out the magpul flip up for a carry handle, or I might put an ACOG on it. I really like PSAs stuff and ill buy a few more kits, not only for me to enjoy but also to make people on here seethe

    Yes, with caveats. The more non-standard you go, the higher the chance of a lemon. If you want a PA-15 or PA-10 with a sane barrel, the only problem you're likely to encounter is the barrel nut being torqued to frick.

      Weird. I've been using PSA since 2017. My experience is exclusively their AR platforms. I've done an 80% build, a separate build on an aero lower, straight bought their gen 3 ar10, and rebarreled two shitkicker ar15s with PSA barrels. Every issue I've had was down to either the badly made 80 lower or improper assembly. My mate's 10.5 pistol has also been great. Most of the above guns have had a can on them, and all either ran fine as shipped or were easily tuned to eat everything from Tula to Real Frickin' NATO no problem.

      Accuracy is... ok. I wouldn't say any of them are bad, 2-3 MOA is about what you can expect from them, maybe less with a nice trigger and ammo. I'm not a particularly good shot so I'm probably the wrong guy to ask on that.

      They did do a questionable job on a warranty claim though.

      So my lion's share of experience says they're perfectly acceptable as a budget gun, but you maybe should get a magpul vice block and a decent armorer's wrench(I like my Midwest, UTG was potmetal) with some of the money you save to double check their shit. If you want total peace of mind and/or just want to buy gucci rifle there's plenty of other companies that offer that. But if you're willing to sink some time, effort, and ammo into your gun to learn how it works, PSA is perfect. They are 100% the blue collar brand of the AR world.

      Last thought, the customer uploaded pictures in the reviews have some fricking hilarious setups, please check them out for a good kek.

        also a psa upper fits on an aero lower? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZHQi-MnD94

          idk if mine is really that bad, I have the stainless 20", like I said I'm a bad shot lol. But I feel like saying 3 moa is the upper bound for accuracy is fair, though rifles "should" be better than that in current day.

          There isn't an established milspec like there is for the AR15 so while some companies' uppers/lowers might work together, it's a crapshoot and nobody has a comprehensive list and in any case a company can just change their spec at any time because there is none. There used to/is the DPMS "spec" but now DPMS is kill so yeah. If you're looking at getting and AR10 save yourself a mountain of trouble and at least get the upper and lower from the same company, if not the whole rifle.

      psa dissys are honestly shit cause of psa costcutting and quality control.
      psa uses standard ass midlength govt profile barrels for their dissys. this means that where the fsb sits is undersized theres going to be a 1 mm gap. this practice of using standard barrels to reduce cost isnt that bad bushmaster was able to do it fine. however when you combine this with the idiots working there its quite likely you will have a slightly canted fsb. you will return that shit multiple times before you get one that was assembled right.a canted fsb is a big deal considering the whole point of a dissy is ironsights.
      psa dissys have the highest % of canted sights out of all psa products.

                I went to a furry con with a friend who was a gigantic furry, as support. Not a furry myself i was initially shocked at what they could get away with in public. They were selling porn and sex toys out in the vendor hall like it was just nothing, little kids wandering around staring at the degeneracy as their parents chatted up the vendors.

                I decided to look through all the vendors and buy the most degenerate thing possible. I browsed through catalogs and portfolios and all kinds of shit to find out what is actually the worst thing on sale. There were used suit parts with sheathe holes or S&M bondage harnesses and whips, there was tons of furry vore or diaper shit or implied pedophilia bumper stickers, but nothing stood out more than this gay child-coded smaller sized dakimakura of a naked little boy furry. Congrats on also having the worst possible thing i could find at the only furry convention i went to.

                I have a tool in the grip to remove optic if necessary. Of course a throw lever mount is more ideal but this is me trying out the lpvo thing so I wasn't going to blow money out my ass trying something. Handguard and light have been fine so far. Brandgayging about a lower rollmark is peak consoomer, ya hate to see it.

                [...]
                wow you spent more money than me that's so fricking cool dude, just wow. omg.
                >entire gun chinkshit
                grip, stock, handguard, lower, backup irons, and can all clearly from US companies. Not that that particularly matters, since I never implied my rifle was a flex, but now you're like 0 for 4 in this thread. Christ. Post brass deflector, this is your chance to either gain a crumb of redemption or be eternally btfo.

                you're preaching to the choir anon, homosexuals provide no beneficial perks to society, they are only a detrimental force. they spread diseases faster than any other demographic and they want to frick your kids

                that being said, I love my AR-10 from PSA, my buddy recently built an ar-15 from ttheir memorial sale and he said it's been great when he put 400 rounds through it in June after getting it. PSA is good to go for AR's.

                i never said the aero lower is bad, i said that's literally the red.dit meta, he could not have built a more red.dit gun than that
                it's the poorgay special complete with poorgay optic and poorgay light
                i'm amazed he even posted such a generic PSA built piece of shit, i'd hide that
                i'm not about ARs tho, sure i have a frick ton of them but they're kinda boring, even if they are literally the best gun ever made
                i still prefer HK roller guns over everything

          the concept of a dissy is fine. its psa quality control thats the problem. eventually i did end up with an acceptable psa upper but if could do it again id rather spend an extra 50-100 on delton or hell buy a normal upper and drill my own holes to make a mock dissy than deal with psa bullshit ever again.you cant trust them to not frick it up.

      you could buy one really good rifle or for the same money you could buy 3 PSA rifles. Gucci rifles don't last 3x longer than a basic milspec PSA.

      I have a spreadsheet of AR builds I made a bit ago. I think bang for your buck would be

      https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m16a4-clone-complete-lower-anodized-black
      >$275

      https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-20-chf-1-7-a2-rifle-length-556-prem-ar15-upper-assembly-no-bcg-ch.html
      >$500 (i think)

      And depending on how paranoid you are you can get a Daniel defense bolt for $220 or two mid tier bolts. Throw an Aimpoint Comp m4 and I have a hard time seeing how that isn’t a 15,000 - 20,000 round rifle for about $1300 including the optic. But if you’re super super paranoid Id probably spend $1800 on a Daniel defense AR then an optic.

    And to keep this on topic, here's what I ended up with zeroing my 16" PSA barrel today. IMI razor core(mk262 clone) at 100 yards. I know the rifle is more accurate than this, but I'm not good at precision.

    For general purpose and fun? Absolutely.
    The AR market went absolutely crazy during the Obama years. Tons of companies poured money into manufacturing because of the absurdly high demand. After Trump got into office demand cooled off and there was a TON of overstock. Anderson Manufacturing (aka Poverty Pony) even improved their machining practices. The bolts they make now are cut really well compared to how they used to be (it was Pakistan gun garage tier).
    The vast majority of the big sellers settled into their updated machining they invested in years ago so the average AR is very decent. It has totally changed compared to 6+ years ago. Just make sure what you buy is assembled straight as there is always human error to worry about.

            If average moron wants an A2 front sight he probably doesn't have the means to tap and drill it. I'd go as far to say that a ton of people don't even have a bench vice.

    I bought a 16" Upper with an MLok handguard about a month ago and I've probably got close to 2k through it and I really like it. I bought it to goof around with and build on so I'll probably end up replacing everything as I'm able.

    The rounds I put through it are all reloads and I've definitely had a few issues with a round not detonating, but that's more of an issue with the ammo I made. They don't like extracting sometimes after they fail to detonate but I always get them out by smacking the butt on the bench while yanking on the charging handle.

    All things considered, well worth what I paid. Pretty good poor man build.

        I'm also pretty new to reloading and haven't had tons of experience with malfunctions so I could be totally wrong. Have you run into anything like this before? My BCG seems to be fine. I took it apart and compared it to my M&P Sport BCG and it looks to be ok.

    Only their high end stuff and why spend that much money when there are better brands at similar prices? Their cheap stuff works... or not. Cheap firearms break sooner or later. But it is cheap, so if you want to get a training AR for friends, a SHTF option, a hog/cayote/racoon rifle or a """""""gift"""""" to someone of the proper age and skin complexity, then why not? You shouldn't rely on a Palmetto and a Palmetto shouldn't be your only item.

    I got picrel. I've only put a few hundred rounds through it, but so far so good. I haven't used a Daniel Defense or anything really high end, so I can't compare.
