    =Iraqgunz;1714616]Once again someone has proven that they don't know what they don't know.
    Ok ...

    You say fit and finish do not matter in mechanical item? ... really? and you suggest that I am the one that is confused?

    Have you examined their gasports to see if they are consistent and within spec across the board. And if you don't think it matters then I will suggest you are seriously confused.
    Why the strawman? In a conventional GI AR platform weapon... besides dwell time.. what else would dictate gas pressure regulation?

    Colt messes these up too... humans building machines... it will happen. I haven't had the opportunity to inspect PSA barrels across the board... so I'll just have to go with the examples I have at hand. If I feel like my PSA is over/undergassed and everything else seems to be in order ..I will check the gas port to see that it is within .062 to .075....

    Correct me if I'm wrong but you decided this was a quality weapon without owning or shooting one. Did you base your decision completely on the experience of reports by others or did you base it on just a "feeling"? Perhaps an experienced professional recommended it? Now don't misunderstand me as I realize most people (like me) can't afford to buy one of every model of AR made just to make a decision on what to keep and use. Thus, we must very often rely on the experiences of others to help us decide and I have, most certainly, done just that. But, for some reason, I get the impression that the opinion you regard the most is your own. Or, maybe you don't know what you don't know.

    POST#49 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.
    You're wrong and need to pay better attention to detail or did you purposely disregard this information?

    As I have stated before in this thread I have had prior experience with PSA rifles EG; I have fired, dissembled and cleaned several partial PSA builds and one full PSA rifle (not to mention more Colt M16/4's than I can remember). These rifles(the PSA's) were built/owned by Military Vets /present day LEO's and fellow Firearms instructors.

    You readily admit that due to your ignorance, you allow others with more experience than yourself to make your decisions for you regarding firearm choice.

    I have a little over 25 years experience with this weapon system. While I admit that consensus from my peers does nothing to diminish my confidence in the PSA rifle, I am confident enough in my own experience and assessment to make a decision..... and if something is wrong... I can find the problem and I can rectify it.

    Happy to oblige your points.

    Not happy to see you go to guns on another member.

    Kindly cool your jets. Confrontation/accusation is not now we do business here.

    Thanks,

    So you're in Obama's SS? I'm not trying to dog on you, I am just curious how that is working out for you? I am sure you will be running your weapon hard in those drills with 2 billion rounds at your disposal.

    That being said I must agree that you will want something that has already been proven to be a reliable weapon no matter what situation it is being used for. There have been many mentioned here that will give you what you need. I am partial to BCM, but again it comes down to personal preference.

    One more thing, out of curiosity, and again I am not dogging on you, I just want your opinion. When the time comes that you get the order to fire on US Citizens, how will you respond?

    Yeah, I thought we put this one to bed back then too...? This thread seems to be going pear-shaped in a hurry.
