Buy PSA and slurge on optics and accessories which allowed me to still have enough to pay for training and ammo. Then moved up to better rifles and still got to keep my optics and accessories. This is the advice I got from my military buddies to learn how to shoot first before getting to much invested upfront on just a rifle.

[@SuperSlayer76]

If you buy a cheaper rifle for your first gun that malfunctions more often it will provide better training - more reps clearing malfunctions. And if parts break on your cheap trainer rifle, that also gives you more experience. That’s been my experience with the Ruger AR556, my first AR-15 I bought back in 2018.

[@stagalgiz1097]

I had an ACR. Good rifle, but expensive. Replacement parts were hard to find/expensive. I hade the handle break on the barrel nut, called Bushmaster and got the run around and told, "well you can send it in, it will take about three to four weeks to fix..." (Pre Remington days) I said "screw it" ran to Walmart, got some high temp JB weld and epoxied it into place, no issues. Ended up getting rid of it after waiting forever for caliber conversions. It was accurate, a bit heavy, but it was a good rifle. I now have a Tommy Built Tactical TG36E, and can't complain. Thousands of rounds down the tube, zero issues, goes bang everytime I pull the trigger. Sure, the HK and Tommy Built parts are expensive, but I can get them and furniture easier than I could with the ACR. I got rid of my AR's when I got the ACR. Then built another AR and then got rid of that when I got the TG36E.

Nice!! I've been eyeing these a lot!!

[@cyotedude]

Awesome informative show, as always. I'm looking for my next rifle, this overview sells me. Great thanks.

[@PhilipStraatsma]

Let’s be honest. PSA is killing it. They are like Kel Tec with all their new stuff, just will good business sense.

[@sonar357]

Once again, PSA proves that just because something isn't expensive doesn't meant it's "cheap". Would love to see you do your mud and freeze test with this rifle and it's rivals (805, IWI Caramel, Galil ACE, SCAR, etc) and see how they stack up against each other.

[@KJ-ho6sb]

I’d love to see a galil clone from them too. Consistently the most accurate ak patterns out there.

[@paulbarclay4114]

​@@KJ-ho6sbyou lose some reliability compared to aks tho

[@dclark1980]

​@@paulbarclay4114 How so? I've never heard reliability complaints about the Galil.

[@shawnsanders9450]

In mud it will choke up after a couple rounds like every piston rifle before it. Will do better frozen.

[@shawnsanders9450]

​@@dclark1980Galil is a AK. It just is. All AK variants with long stroke piston designs will choke up in mud after about 1 round fired. They will do well frozen however.

[@Cherub117]

Thank you very much! Great review!

[@Slideway86]

Grant you've been great over the years. Didn't expect you to review this one, and certainly didn't expect you to love it.

[@deadkill39]

We need more videos on affordable firearms like this one, love the content.

I've been eyeing one of these for a while.. this video just helped make up my mind.

[@MikeJones-jr6wp]

Love watching your videos and probably so since we both have the same name and retired military. Keep up the good work Mike!

[@SheikAyoub]

Would love to see a PSA Sabre “overview” and how it compares to other mid-high tier ARs like BCM and Colt in quality and capability.

[@TheFishE77Official]

I'd call modern Colt mid-low tier, not mid high. Their quality, especially in the fit and finish/coatings department has dropped a lot in the last decade.

[@DoraTheMFDestroya]

​@@TheFishE77Official psa quality definitely hasn't dropped lmao, it's been steadily improving with every new generation

[@illestdomer2005]

Just got a PA-10A1, and I have been super impressed. I’d love to see Mike’s take since this is my first AR-10.

[@SheikAyoub]

@@TheFishE77Official Honestly wouldn’t know. I’m new to the game, but I always assumed Colt was of higher/better quality since it produced the US government M16s and many law enforcement departments carried their AR-15s

[@coltenloving8908]

He is apparently working on a Sabre vs KAC video

[@Thatchering]

Love PSA once that Krink drops soon, I'm looking to get one of these next

[@jeremyrichards6043]

Nothing will tell you more about a gun then how much effort they put into the drills sequence, aka, after 2 minutes of the video I think he loves that gun.

[@JohnnysL82]

Excellent job from start to finish.

[@Jhardy64]

The editing keeps getting better and better on these vids. The little text on ranges and stuff was nice. The sound effects for it really tied it together. Solid

[@spud4649]

I’d love to see this in a mud/ice test!

[@andrewelliott7352]

Best video to date boys. Editing, Camera work, commentary getting better with each video

[@havingyarr]

Grammar is important.

[@uriahocean6968]

Honest, good, clean review. 👌

[@deebee3174]

PSA killed it with this one. Certainly shows how much you’ll have to pay for a “name brand” or get a PSA that works.

[@tacticalveterinarian]

Charlie grabbing the mag off of Uncle Mike's PC reminded me of that time Mojo grabbed a sig mag and used it in a glock LOL

[@SpikeJonesTheCr0oked]

That is immediately what I thought of also.

[@Youngonce01]

It was Micah.

[@tri3pleagent]

Opted for the 13.7...really like the change of pace from a standard AR. Awesome host for the Omega 300.

[@TexanApollyon]

Loved seeing all the winter gear

[@peters4158]

Damn, PSA was my secret manufacturer to get quality firearms for a fraction of the cost. Oh well, guess I better go buy several more before the prices jump. Good job and love your videos, they are entertaining and informational as well. Kudos, to you and your team.

[@Dirminor]

Who’s secret? They sell out of everything so fast all the time 😂 way before the JAKL even came out and certainly before GT did any reviews because he has actually done reviews on PSA weapons before this one.

[@DriveByGuy]

PSA doesn’t really raise prices. They’re not that profitable of a company as their primary goal is the proliferation of firearms. Honestly not sure how much longer they’re gonna stick around. Hopefully a whole, but common sense says otherwise.

[@dragonsofthunder]

​@@DriveByGuythey're sticking around for the long run and that's facts!!! I own DD, PSA, and Windham! I love my PSA as much as I love my dd

[@1stShotTactical]

JAKL > ACR 😱 awesome job PSA!!! Let’s see how the PSA Krink does next!!

[@mrtexican8302]

Excellent. I was eyeing one of those as my first rifle.

[@scolverart]

Those shots of the snow covered hills are amazing!

[@The_Don_Beverage]

A bigger jakl in 8.6 blk would be crazy.

[@vaitomanocu5562]

meme round

[@Angel-gr7de]

8.6 would mean they can also run .308, 6.5, and the new Sig round. Long-action ARs continue to get fucked over though so don't hold your breath

[@The_Don_Beverage]

@@Angel-gr7de yeah, agreed. But man, would an 8.6 jakl with 8in barrel, QD supressor, and folding stock be an absolute menace of a truck gun.

[@bentuovila5296]

I've been wanting a 308 sized modern piston gun hard for just this build.

[@FL-Kman]

I think cmmg is cooking up something like that with the dissent

[@mascasa7502]

Appreciate this review and your unbiased opinion, Mike. Loved the mountain views when you were shooting at 600 yards.

[@aaront4494]

Micha! Awesome reload work brother!

[@colink4710]

Now we need a PSA Sabre review! Keep up the good work brother!

[@pr073u569]

JAKL in 300 is just too much fun. The fact that you can strap a ~$700 upper onto any AR15 lower is pretty awesome too. I highly recommend this firearm. Glad to see it performing well especially from a "budget" company like PSA.

[@rileyschubert]

Does your CH/sled had a little back and forth play? I just got mine in 300 today and noticed this is it normal?

[@pr073u569]

@rileyschubert It does have some movement to it, as does the chargi g handle. I haven't had a single issue since the first couple shots when I pulled a derp and tried to break it in dry. Few drops of oil, and it's smooth as butter. It is possible in one spot along the track to get the sled into the track system at a weird angle while the charging handle is removed, which can be annoying to get back out. The play didn't seem to matter with the non reciprocating handle.

[@kurtgellert9166]

Great review! Very thorough. First time on the channel

I've been kinda wanting one of these since they came out. Glad to hear it's holding up well so far.
