[@frostyheat22]

@@Seth-hf2rq price has a lot to do with quality control. Companies like BCM check the most critical components of the gun for flaws individually, instead of doing batch tests. That's why I always at least put a BCM BCG in ANY rifle I assemble. The barrel is another critical part that I prefer to be individually tested at the factory. I consider my guns to be Life saving equipment, just like a parachute or bungee cord. It needs to work every time I pull the trigger.

[@jonvenusti]

No body thinks that...

[@Trickydickysticky]

@@jonvenusti i know better... and you know better. Most gun owners dont. You highly overestimate the average joe on the range. They do think it because they SAY it. Palmetto is doing great things for the money, its gotten alot of people into ARs. Im pointing it our because this is one of the few times where you get more then what you paid for. A basic POS comspec ar15 is like $750 around here (and they constantly jam). If you build a palmetto you get alot more for your money- the average joe sees a nice trigger and a brake on an free floated ar15 and has never seen that level of performance from a rifle. They think you have to pay alot more to get it. You think that if you blindfolded the average guy and put an ar15 in his hands he could tell you the gas tube length? Or by the recoil tell what kind of muzzle device you were using? Hell what ammo you were shooting? No. They could probably tell you if they liked the trigger and thats it. Beyond that- most cant even pull a guns trigger without flinching. They think that reduced recoil and trigger weight cost ALOT more when you buy a rifle and is an effect that comes from super high quality parts. Mainly becuase most have zero exposure to "building" a rifle. The average joe has no idea what expensive rifles offer. Most are still brand bandwagoners (like glock lol) Tell you what- try this- ask a random guy at the range if his barrel was MPI tested and watch them look off into infinity for the answer.

I'm not really into AR platform rifles. I have an old Bushmaster that runs fine but I wanted an AR to give to one of my sons who shares my love of firearms. I picked out a nitride mid-length gas upper and a MOE lower with the "Enhanced Polished Trigger", a nitride BCG and a stock charging handle and slapped on a $129 Sig Romeo 5 red dot (that I bought across the street at Cabela's) and Magpul iron back up sights on it and it ran a little rough for the first 40 rounds. I completely disassembled it, cleaned and oiled it, and it was "off to the races". No more problems. period. Even just buying complete components, not "building" the rifle, I am only into this rifle for $580 including the Iron Sights ($450 without the red dot optic). I am still looking for the final component, a decent sling. I'm a lifetime shooter, former soldier and retired LEO.

I have 2 Daniel Defence rifles and just picked up 2 PSA, 1 16 inch 223, and 1 6.5 creedmoor. I did have a problem with the creedmoor and PSA stood behind it and made it right. I couldn't agree with you more, you get a lot more than you pay fore.

[@rmstorms]

Nothing wrong with the poverty pony. Pleasantly surprised by the quality. Like their EPT trigger.

[@rmstorms]

@Justin Richardson I have a BCM and an LMT, they are better rifles, but not by much.

[@wwaytobe]

You said it well that they make value parts and firearms! I have 3 in 3 different calibers, they all work great! Good clip!

[@stormprooftraining2012]

PSA is good to go. But your guns have Anderson lowers. And Anderson lowers don’t fit PSA uppers very snug at all.

[@FierceMouse]

I have a rifle with Anderson lower/psa upper. It rattles a little but I dont mind.

[@rufusleers]

High speed, low drag couch operators would disagree.

[@pauls5375]

And the USA government and anyone that's knows anything about barrels and bcgs.

[@rufusleers]

@@pauls5375 what are you even talking about? Civilians don't shoot their guns as much as soldiers. They actually need higher end barrels and bcg's for a reason.

[@rufusleers]

@ you don't do sarcasm, do you?

[@rufusleers]

@ they are stupid then lol.

[@mobilegamersunite]

Yo, they sold a competent AR10 for $570. That was enough to bring me over. To give people the ability to cross .308 off the list for that price...AWESOME, just awesome 👌 The value is amazing....and it comes with adjustable gas block. They are literally forcing the market to evolve..and we benefit from that as the consumers. Dont get me wrong, PSA will not always be the most affordable brand, the price will go up. ...once upon a time EOTECH was selling holographic sights for around $200 for Bushnells 😅 I love my Daniel Defense ❤️ btw, but psa gives me a new ability for a quarter of the price. And at $570 they make a great learning rifle you dont have to worry about destroying 😉

[@jaredgreen5840]

I've used their parts and I've been pretty impressed so far ☺👍

[@79dogface]

Both psa upper I bought had canted front sites. Sold them.

[@82ndsniper1]

You can say cheap. They are. But they run and run and run

[@Raymo2u]

Hope they are good, just ordered a AR9 Upper and a AR9 lower from them...just shipped out and I'm very excited to check it out

[@thegoldenchild4657]

Psa rocks fuck any of the haters.

[@lerch400block]

I agree. The thumbs down are from DD owners that can't even seat a mag correctly. I have the same freedom upper kit I think it was 359 with the ept. Their polished trigger group is comparable to ALG's. Love PSA I hope that new AK they made is gonna last Rob Ski 5k test.

[@GunGuyOK]

I'm looking forward to their MP5 kit coming out.

[@thegreenman2030]

I'm feeling like BCM fan boys seem to be the worst these days. While I do like many BCM products they aren't that impressive.

[@lerch400block]

@Jones me too. Waiting for Rob Ski to finish his 5k

[@castledomeknives9395]

Fast forward to 2021...during covid....I believe every ar fan owns or is planning on owning a PSA AR..I have 3...bought the 3 pack lowers and checked site on Daily deals until I found what I liked👍 ...Even the blems are great....wish I could show my target ,50 yards, with irony sites with my 1st PSA BUILD...After that...I WAS HOOKED....I also..like u...own Colt Hbars

[@robertthompson5864]

Great video, I love your comment about .. training, training, training ...The AR 15 is a battle rifle made for reliable contact within 300 yards while moving ..its not a sit at the bench rifle .. reliability is key ..These PSA rifles are that..

[@blackhawk7r221]

When you encounter someone flaunting their “elite” AR, and talking shit about a “cheap” brand, politely decipher the tiny casting code to let them know who actually made their upper or lower before that “elite” company stamped their logo onto it.

[@sammully0321]

I’ve been a Recon Marine, Law Enforcement Firearms instructor for 5 years and my Palmetto State Armory has been flawless. I’ve put thousands of rounds through my PSA rifles and pistols. I’ve had 0 malfunctions through any of them. My colt and BCM has had FTF and FTE through them and my PSA cost a 3rd of what Colt and BCM cost. Having said that, these are tools and tools fail. Any mechanic item will be different and functions vary. I’ve been lucky with mine.

[@sammully0321]

Sorry, I’m on my phone typing this while sitting on the porcelain chair so my sentence structure is somewhat deviated from perfect English.

[@michaelthrelkeld212]

Love PSA and think they do a great job. However, you bringing Anderson lowers to discuss Palmetto State just seems wrong.

[@mattjacobs3398]

I just put together a mark18 for myself so far I love it

[@adamthomas7250]

Any snobs saying you need a Gucci AR are failing to realize that the military issued M4 is made by the lowest bidder and military rifles are worse quailing than a PSA. PSA will serve you just fine

[@urbankyng6467]

My only issue with PSA is their shipping times. Besides that never had an issue with any items I've purchased.

[@mikegager]

ive bought 2 gun kits from them. Their shipping times are stated to be up to 15 business days for upper receivers. the first took 13 days and the second took 6 days so not really that bad honestly

Got my brand new PSA15 in 5 days to local FFL.

[@joegalloway9011]

@ I ordered a ar9 13 days ago still waiting

[@brianjameson4638]

Correct me if I am worng but your middle and top gun have an anderson lowers. The disconnect is in the lower. Did you build the lower with a PSA Kit or is it an Anderson? I have built 4 PSA rifles and have had no issues. I feel that they are good quality gun.

[@anthonywood4894]

I’ve built and bought 5 PSA rifles. 1 16” FN Barrel Premium Carbine, 1 16” FN Mid-length, 1 16” Nitride Freedom Carbine, 10.5” FN pistol and 1 10.5” Freedom pistol. They have all run flawless. I’ve had no problems with any of them. I had one mixup that worked out fine. The 16” Freedom was suppose to be a Mid-length and they sent a carbine but my dad wanted it so I sold it to him and got the FN 16” Mid-length to replace it. PSA is my go to for AR’s.

[@chizorama]

I've been impressed with their premium line for years now, one of the best bangs for the buck.

[@tonyy33055]

Great video.... I noticed that you are talking about PSA, but have Anderson M. Lower. Which parts are PSA on this video.. I did a AM lower a week ago and now looking for a upper. I'm interested in know more. Thank you again for this video information..

[@seanwhite304]

Nails on the chalkboard saying a 10.5 is a MK18 . Like how rude dude ..lol jk

[@blackhawk7r221]

Do you know the secret of decoding the casting symbols on the components? You may be shocked as to who actually made your high dollar upper or lower.

[@mauricenunez73]

I’ve had to return defective PSA parts on more than one occasion and I do have several safe queens. Great advise coming from somebody who put a scope mount on backwards.

[@SteveZ-yd6em]

Lol good one

[@scottleppard3290]

Carried Colt M4 in my cruiser for many years brother. If someone wants to argue over .2 of an inch barrel length, most likely they have no idea of the concept of lands and grooves. Mil Spec is Mil Spec. What we have to pay attention to is the gas key. The gas key heads need to be staked and staked well. I own several different brands like you. PSA stakes their gas keys above all. No gas key? You have a club or a paddle. I like your comments. Probably the best you tube explanation I've seen. Yeah, 3 options. Train or train the third option well, train. Great vid!

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Awesome, I have never had a problem with palmetto

[@NoGoBu]

Yes buy a PSA, and with the money you save, over Daniel Defense ,buy a small villa in Switzerland 🇨🇭 👍

[@FarmPrepper1]

Some people just have to be Thee Judge. They expect too much from others period. They buy stuff build it. Dont know how to adjust or trouble shoot. Unlike you or I they dont understand the concept of spare parts. Jewelers file and some sanding or polishing cloth. Fixes 90% of all issues. Run 500? Naaa. They run a couple boxes and call it done. Let em spend the big dollars.. as you said. They got No Clue and No Training.

[@caseypayne1956]

Ive got two PSA kits, not even the high end ones. The "on sale" kits. They both go bang when you squeeze the trigger. They both group 1" at 100 yds. Neither has had a single issue. Its kinda like the automobile debate. A Mercedes will def get your ass to work, but so will a Chevy.

[@davidgau]

I am with you I have a couple of PSA AR builds and love them but then again I am not a gun nut and these are the only guns I have ever owned or shot for that matter. Only reason I own them is because of all the 2nd amendment hype and the fact I need protection for my family.

[@caleycrain9278]

This is exactly why I've been shopping for an AR, specifically at PSA after my KZbin "research" and a few acquaintances verifying such research. I mean I hope this country pulls out of the nosedive it's in and we all thrive in relative cohesiveness but, I'd like to be prepared for the worst.

[@leiag201]

my first and only AR to date is a PSA. I cant shoot it just yet unfortunately, and I am working hard just to amass me enough ammo, but it's good to know I didnt waste my money. 2019 seems like a long time ago

[@2wheeleddemon999]

I just built my first AR with the classic freedom kit and she runs great. The only thing I don't like is the caliber so I'm building another one (probably a pistol) in 7.62x39. I highly recommend them 👍

[@edwardsmith1324]

I found that any problem you might run into with a little investigation you can solve the problen.Purchased a AR10 in 308h&put a Timney trigger in & ended up with one sweet toy.Have all kinds of fun uses for it.PSA has no problem with solving your problems, if you can find someone to answer the phone??I'm happy good luck to the rest of you.

[@cecilsharps]

I've gotten lots of parts from psa. the fn barrels are great, the value barrels are decent and the lowers are in spec. the only problem i ever had was with a 308 upper. the chamber was to tight emailed em they sent me a box and a mailer and fixed the issue within a reasonable amount of time.

[@LLadnarr]

both of the upper rifles have Anderson MFG lowers. I didn't hear you point that out, I suppose you are just reviewing the upper for those? can't tell with the bottom one.

[@tomjones1967]

I agree. Completed “retro/ budget” build with PSA primarily. It was a real cool experience assembling a rifle I always wanted. Selling some spare parts on eBay I got it down to $300 & it makes me smile more than a POF that was exponentially more. Great video!

[@KENWALD]

Any issues with the pof? I’m looking at the minuteman and reviews online are mostly accuracy tests and forums saying “ don’t buy I heard they fail to eject” anything would be great to hear back

[@CYSjan]

I had the same problem with the disconnect. But all I did was shoot it a lot and after about 200 rounds it started working properly.

[@daveberube997]

I bought a 224 Valkyrie upper at a bargain and it shoots sub moa.

[@cliffknoebel8528]

Cant bitch about my psa's 308 and 7.62x39. I did have issues with a ar15 I tried setting up for a guy I know, but th as t easily could have been the zqi ammo or his quality sniper scope 🤣

[@Reviews4fun1]

People who think PSA are junk are fools. I’ll take a higher end PSA over a stock anything and I’ve got the money to spend. Look at the mil spec receivers - basically all the same across many companies with a different stamp (billet and custom aside). Get their enhanced triggers, a decent barrel, and their Midwest industries handguard on their rifles and you’re all set.

[@WalterWhite-gw3vm]

Reviews4Fun the people who mainly think and say that PSA is junk are the assholes that spend $1500-$2500 on a Daniel Defense AR-15 and the sad part is that my PSA 14.5 CHF rifle that cost me $650 to build can shoot exactly the same as a DD AR

[@landonjones8819]

+1 the PSA chf rifles are chrome liked fn barrels. What more could you want?

[@supermoon1430]

I only want one simply because I don’t think they’ll ever be this cheap in price and 556 isn’t crazy expensive and looks like fin to shoot at the range or self defense

[@g.b.gareful5569]

I'm with you on your opinion of Palmetto State. My first build from Palmetto State had a couple problems but it was the learning opportunity I wanted. Like you I didn't call them up. I worked through the problems and had so much fun. Knowing about your weapon and learning how to fix it is priceless. I can't believe how cheep all the basic mil spec parts are. On the other hand I am overwhelmed at the prices of the high end parts you can get and all the crazy attachments available.

[@glb2546]

Mack , you didn't mention the top two lowers are Anderson, not Palmetto. Lets be more honest.

[@stevek343]

I got a 7.5 inch ar pistol from psa, iam happy.

[@bizkit2147]

I hate when PSA sends me emails with all of those nice sells. I try so hard not to view it but I fail.

[@michaelcall1857]

"Go to the range and train!" Thank you for speaking the truth.
