I love my 20" AR's, most have the carry handle, because like you said out to 6 to 700yds I can hit targets. Shooting that far is impractical but it shows it can do it. My main use is 300yds and in, which is pretty easy with a stock 20" AR. Plus it is so soft shooting you can stay on target easier. I think that's why retro is coming back because people are finding that iron sights can get it done.

I have been shooting since I was 4 years old (back in early 50's). When I got drafted and was in basic the M-16's we were issued did not have the forward assist or chromed bore. I was elated to fire such an accurate rifle. All shots center mass on target at 100meters. I still love the classic platform, just wish I could afford one...sigh...Re: the 3 prong flash suppressor...we used that suppressor to open GI issue beer cans, before they had pull tabs. Which was great as long as Top didn't catch you doing it...heheh

I built an A2 clone (with a removable carry handle because I just happen to have on laying around). I built it kind of on a whim. I carried an A2 in the Army so it was kind of nostalgic. After shooting it, man I fell in love. I don't think I "loved" this weapon before, even in the military. But after owning a bunch of other weapons, I've come to appreciate the A2. Since then I replaced the butt stock with an A1 butt stock. It made a huge difference (I'm 5'6'' so length of pull fits much better now). I recently did a competition (organized but just a group of friends). Someone made a comment when I stepped up to the line, "Hey the 70's called, they want their rifle back". He was pretty quiet after I shot. Irons at 75 yards I missed 1 of probably 50+ shots because I was rushing. Slow is smooth; smooth is fast.

I bought one of these recently. Had a good feeling about it and you've confirmed what I suspected all along. I did some mods like changing the handguards for a set of rails I got from a storage locker sale (Midwest Industries) and swapped the bolt out for a Toolcraft. Then I changed the pistol grip to a Fab Defense simply because that is what I normally use. The CHF barrel should hold up well; PSA sells the Toolcraft line and it works. Great vid. Wish I'd seen it sooner.

Very cool. I have built a number of retro rifles in the past few years. The first one is a Colt 601 clone. No forward assist. No brass deflector. No fences on the lower receiver. Duckbill flash hider. “Slick side” baby! There is a 20” 1:7 twist barrel at the gunsmith right now getting a FSB drilled and pinned. It’s a “white” so it will get parkerized. After I get it back, it gets mounted on an A1 upper. All the furniture is original. Built an A2 and M4 recently. Both on PSA Government Property marked lowers. In 2022 I have plans for an XM16E1 build. I have a few parts for it already.

My lower doesn't have the burst setting and my upper included the removable grab handle but I have the same 20" FN barrel and the clamshell handguard. The funny part was that when you were listing the 5 things you learned from this rifle, I was sitting here saying each sentence BEFORE you said them!

I totally agree with every point you make. I bought an FN AR-15 rifle about a year after it came out. It had held zero from the first time I shot it. I've never had any problems with any ammo I've run through it. As you said, it's bomb proof. If God forbid I ever need to reach for a rifle, it's the one I'll pick up. I worked for me during a tour in Afghanistan and my first tour in Iraq, so yes, I believe in the gun.

Yes simple is better, as I have also learned. And I have a box full of AR parts I'll never use again that are now in my garage taking up space. Since my first AR I went through all the upgrades AR KZbinrs were telling me I needed, including the red dots, scopes, lights, you name it. I am now back to the basic AR with open sights like I used as an Army infantryman many many moons ago now. The fact is the red dots and all the bells and whistles never caught on with me or really felt right. The only AR I have left now is one almost identical to that one, except I have a UTG carry handle sight which I highly recommend. Shooting this rifle has a fun, solid and nostalgic feel to it that I love.

Mine just arrived. All this canted front sight block talk had me worried.....but I'm very happy to say it was straight as an arrow. Also the FN barrel isn't that flat yellowish laser type marking like I've seen in alot of pics. It's etched/rolled into the metal of the barrel now which I definitely like. First PSA rifle and I'm pleased.

I recently bought a PSA AR-9 with a 16" barrel and absolutely love it. Takes the same mags as my Glock. Eventually I want to get a 5.56 but for now it will have to do. I wanted a PCC for ammo reasons.

My only upgrades on all my rifles include a Bravo Co Enhanced LPKs and MPI & HP bolts. Everything else stays the same. I use my extra play cash on buying extra detents, springs and firing pins along with ammo for the proverbial “Rainy Day”. Thanks for the awesome video! 👍🏻

I have the same upper but I got mine w/o the ch and BCG, so I threw in a BCM mod 4 ch and a HM defense BCG. Fricken love that rifle. For sights I have the PA 1-6 Aurora. With 62 grain I get around 1.5-2" groups and I have no issues hitting a silhouette at 400 yards so that makes me happy.

@Fascista Mexikaner Ah yes, the weight. I had to change my rifle set up twice due to the weight. First I had the carry handle irons, the A2 stock had a cleaning rod and lube in it, the grip had extra batteries, detents, springs, and a bolt rebuilt kit. It was pretty manageable and yes it was easy and fast to bring the rifle up/down, transition target to target. Then I added a quad rail, vertical grip, flashlight, 2 point sling, and the lpvo. This increased the weight quite a bit. I never paid attention to how heavy it was until I carried it for a half mile to my spot to hunt coyotes. Compared to another AR I have, it's significantly heavier. I took the cleaning rods out, removed the light I had, the vertical grip and the rail covers the quad rail came with. Put on slim rail covers. This cut about a half pound off or so. I'm considering going back to the plastic handguard and the carry handle irons so I can keep my kit in the stock and put the lpvo on another rifle I have. If I'm keeping the wml and the kit with the lpvo, then I'm putting a Magpul handguard on it. The quad rail is nice but it adds too much weight for what it is.

@Fascista Mexikaner Yeah, it really depends on if the set up you have will do what you want it to do but also not be a pain in the ass to carry or use for any length of time. There's give and take with every thing, but I'm happy with it's final configuration. It's at 9.78lbs now with my cleaning kit in the stock, the lpvo, a sling, quad rail, and a different wml. Sure it's still heavy but at least it's a durable set up, great heat mitigation, robust, multiple range capabilities, but also has a kit to self sustain no matter if I have my gear on or not should something happen in the field. I pretty much intended it to be my go to rifle if the world went to shit and society had no more structure. I'm sure I'll still change things as I see fit until I find that absolutely perfect combination for the traits I mentioned earlier, but saving weight and being more manageable.

I picked one up on a sweet Black Friday deal a few years ago. I have swapped out the upper receiver with a Rock River A2 fixed carry handle so it’s a legit A2 now. Love the classic look and it shoots great.
