I recently bought a PSA M4 Premium. Let me first give you a run down of the AR's I've had in the past. Colt SP, Colt 6920, Bushmaster, LMT, Ruger and Armalite. The PSA "IMO" is every bit as good to go as the rest of them, and better than some. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend the M4 Premium. I paid $650 for mine brand new. The value vs quality is unbeatable based on my experience with the above.
My experience with shooting them. Assembly and finish quality. and overall ownership experience. I've had two ARs that were problematic when new. A Bushmaster that was short stroking due to the gas carrier key having been improperly torqued/staked from the factory. And an LMT that would not zero because of alignment issues. I've had other LMTs with no issues, I just got a Lemon that can happen to any manufacture. Oh I also forgot to mention that I've owned a couple of Rock River Arms. Other than the two mentioned, I've been happy with all the ARs I've owned. As far as the PSA goes, it is "IMO" the best bang for the buck AR I've ever had. Again "IMO"
After buying a PSA you may find yourself saying, "Maybe I should have bought a BCM, Daniel Defense, Colt, or LMT!". After buying a BCM, Daniel Defense, Colt, or LMT you will never find yourself saying, "Maybe I should have bought a PSA!".
The bitterness of inferior quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. Buy once cry once!

I highly doubt I'll regret the PSA purchase. Not at that price/quality point. BTW the PSA has the best out of box mil-spec trigger I've ever had. Smooth, no grit, and breaks clean. Luck of the draw maybe?
I haven't had that experience, and I have two BCM uppers, an LE6920, and a PSA Premium upper. My PSA upper has had more rounds downrange (at least 5,000) than my two BCM's and LE6920 combined and the PSA has better accuracy to boot over them all. I've never had a problem with PSA period in my sample of 21 orders either. I understand all companies have problems, that's especially the nature of high volume business. I understand what PSA is, and can appreciate them for what they are. If I have a problem out of PSA, how they take care of it will matter a heckuva lot to me. Until then, all I can tell is what experiences I've had so far.
I don't have problem with PSA, but I know what they are. I may be a noob here, but I have been around this game for 25+ years. Nothing PSA cranks out screams junk to me, (for the most part) but it also is not anything more than what they price it as. I myself found it hard to NOT bite on some of the deals they throw out there at times. The "blemished" midlength kit I bought on black friday for $399 with their chrome lined "premium" barrel, premium bolt carrier group, and Magpul furniture IMHO was a good buy............I could think of a lot worse things to spend $400 on.
