    Ok... I would like to know where this rifle is lacking compared to a Colt ,BCM or DD.
    Well, 50 years of combat experience, for starters. I'm sure someone more qualified than I can elaborate on that as well as the others you mentioned.

    Run 10-12 thousand rounds through it and come back with a report and we will discuss it.

    By that metric all other manufacturers of AR platform weapons should be eschewed for Colt. Besides brand loyalty there is no basis for this when quality components are utilized.

    If you want something that is built and tested by the TDP, there is no one out there that does a better job.

    If you are going to deviate from the TDP for central/critical parts, I recommend doing the research to determine exactly what you are compromising on.

    Not necessarily true. While COLT has a proven track record and IS the TDP, there are other brands that have proven themselves too. BCM, Noveske, LMT for example.

    We are not dissing PSA, but they are a relative newcomer, and have had quite a large share of quality issues, as well as customer service SNAFUS. (I had both.)

    I don't think anyone thinks they are a crappy, they are just new, haven't been proven yet, and are still having teething pains.

    Been done. There quite a few owner posts and factory torture tests that claim upto 20 k rounds. I dont own a PSA AR yet but I will in about a month, you
    supply the ammo and I supply the trigger finger.

    I have trained with AR ,M16/4 rifles since 86, trained others for the past 3 years. Thousands of rounds of experience through this platform and what I have experienced from PSA AR s has been good. So good that I dropped a little over 1 k with full confidence on a premium PSA carbine that comes with an Aimpoint PRO on it.

    Good points. I have heard horror stories about thier C.S but I havent heard much negativity about thier rifles, mostly component orders. I will post my experiences with PSA from delivery to product. I will post pics of all individual components side by side my (Service issue weapon)Colt M4.

    From what I understand Colts Technical Data Package sets the metric for MilSpec. From the description of PSA premium Carbines, they conform to Milspec testing ,
