    As I said earlier Mine work great so far. Will they last as long as my "name brand" AR's, only time will tell. After 1000's of rounds thur each yes. After 10,000 rounds, I'll have to get back to you on that.

    Also the D&H PSA 5.56 magazines for $6.99 have all run flawlessly.

Their current freedom line upper are made in house i heard. Mine was pre freedom series non premium with L. W. upper and mossberg barrel. PSA use toolcraft for all of their BCG which is god teir good. Toolcraft is mil contract bcg maker.

    It was built for $460, it have long accumulated upgrade or change such as swapping furniture for a2 handguard and CAR instead of m4 handguard and waffleside stock. It now have geissele s3g and raptor charging handle in it. It had springco red coded buffer spring and st-t2 buffer.

    PSA is good shit.
    I've said before and I'll say it again:

    Buying gourmet ingredients does not automatically make you a gourmet chef.

    PSA has proven time and time again they don't know how to, or care how to, consistently assemble an AR.

    Yes. Laugh all you want. But i trust it to endure and remain reliable as long as its more expensive mid level counterparts. I shot first 500 rounds bone dry and it have shown no sign of choking or even begun choking and rounds after rounds later its still shooting as good it came from factory. I have owned two ar before this one dpms and spikes. Overall build quality psa blow dpms away and rival spikes. I trust it keep chugging long after first barrel get shot out then replaced and life of bolt reached then replaced.

    They can source their parts from wherever they please but the QC applied to these parts isn't the same at better manufacturers. What PSA accepts through their QC from a particular manufacturer is not the same as a better company will accept from the same exact manufacturer. Those parts may be from a reputable manufacturer that were rejected and sold as seconds.

    Coming on here and declaring PSA is "just as good as" is an irresponsible, and disingenuous, thing to do.
    Nice bullshit monkey you pulled outta your ass. The parts PSA use was made to order. I know this, evidence also agreed with my word.

    I read this whole post in a 1950's era, western movie "Indian chief" voice in my head.

    It was awesome.

    Actually, I think it was Tonto from 'The Lone Ranger'.

    The fact that PSA is sending out uppers with the front sight so jacked it would make even the worst canted sight AK's cringe proves that their QC is either run by the bullshit monkey you speak of, or is entirely nonexistent.

    If you want to spend $500 and roll the dice on a "premium" PSA upper instead of $550 for a BCM or Sionics. Have at it my friend.

    Beating DPMS isn't a high bar to beat.

    I would just add buying from good names doesn't always mean you'll get the best upper- but probably the best experience replacing it if there is something wrong.

    Anecdotally, my PSA upper is the best assembled upper I have. All of my uppers have worked, but I have an upper with a loose handguard cap, and another with a visually crooked low profile gas block (not crooked enough to block gas, but annoying to have the barrel drilled offcenter to me), both from good companies.

    So if you know what you're doing and have other rifles so you can wait on things getting fixed, get yourself that PSA and check it over, saving some money.

    CITATION of "jacked fsb" from psa requested.

    I do not think you have see the worse of canted ak sight.

    Company having QC doesn't mean it will catch every single errors. few get past, its normal.

    Premium PSA get cheaper than $500 plenty of time.
