556 or 308?

@@SabertoothDefenseSystems 308

@@vrg69 Gotcha! Yeah I would definitely start with increasing your buffer weight and buffer spring weight, and reevaluate. If you’re still having issues add an adjustable gas block like a RifleSpeed or a Superlative Arms bleed-off adjustable gas block! Good luck and thanks for watching!

@SabertoothDefenseSystems there all hand loads not max loads either done pulled all rounds apart once and reloading them checking 3 rounds at a time back up to original charge and it will pop a primer 1 out of 5 to 10 rounds

@@vrg69 also I have a follow up video on my channel about the PA-10 and the aftermath of me changing those parts out! If you have the chance I recommend you check it out!

Nice! Hope you like it! It’s a great rifle!

Much has been learned since the filming of this video and hate to say that even bagged the groups did indeed not shrink to under an inch. Later swapped barrels to a Faxon 18” Gunner barrel and got the tightest group of 1.3” but never an inch or sub

Thanks for watching! For what it’s worth I’m confident the buffer spring was the wrong one installed by the previous owner. That being said I think it’s unfortunate that the adjustable gas block is an upgrade. Should be standard with how finicky LR308/AR10 platform rifles are. I love how light the gun is🤌

Great choice! Lots of fun!

Huh, I’ve never thought about that! Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment. Oh yeah, I was impressed by the durability for sure. I think it’s important to remember that the quality of even budget optics rivals the quality of high end brands 20 years ago. Congrats on your first handgun! From what I’ve seen, those G2C/G3C pistols seem to be decently reliable. I think you’ve got a great thought process! Nice deal too! For what it’s worth, I’ve had a Taurus 605 revolver for almost 7 years now and I love that little gun. I carry it at church since it’s small and conceals super well under my jacket. I like my Taurus products for what they are! You’ll find out by training with it whether you can rely on it or not.

Lol

So it’s all dependent on two things: 1 Your vest, and 2 the backers you have for it. If I ran only plates without any sort of plate backer I’m sure it wouldn’t be super comfortable, but because I use 3A armor as a backer for the plates it’s much softer. The Thorax has great padding itself so with the carrier padding and the 3A, it’s comfortable. Still takes getting used to but honestly after a few days your body aclimates. I’ve been rolling around in my car with plates now for just under 5 years. Still better on your body than everything on your hips in my opinion

Valid points indeed. Initially yes, I just needed a cheap rifle to go hog hunting with my dad the year I bought it. And in that purpose alone it served its purpose. But issues were presented soon after, and I wanted to learn more about the platform and diagnose the issues myself. So yeah I did end up putting a lot of money into it, and yes it would have been better had I bought something better right off the bat. But that wasn’t the original intention and I didn’t think I’d have to, because of all the “good reviews”. The outcome was better than I wanted it, I was able to use it initially as a cheap rifle that served its purpose, learned more about the platform itself through the course of having to tune it and solve the issues I was having, which in turn has helped many people with other brand LR308 rifles (some of which are very expensive) that were exhibiting the same issues, be able to diagnose their own problems and fix their own rifle. So in short I paid for a learning experience and a comprehensive education on the platform. Initially I didn’t know I was going to be having issues based off the good reviews I saw just as you say you have seen. Also just because people aren’t posting this or talking about it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. The reality is most people don’t actually shoot their rifles or review them past about a few hundred rounds. Which in fairness I didn’t recognize issues were happening until later anyways. Lots of people have commented in this video and the follow up video of how their rifles, PSA’s included were doing the same thing. As for your question with the adjustable gas block, it is simply there to either increase or decrease gas flow to the system. In my case and in the case of many adjusting the gas block ONLY did not solve the issue as it was a timing issue that required more resistance with a heavier buffer spring and buffer. In conjunction with tuning the adjustable gas block my issues were fixed. I recommend you view the follow up video of this issue on my channel so you can see the steps that fixed it. But just so you know this isn’t an issue exclusive to PSA, even Daniel Defense rifles and other high dollar rifles can exhibit the same issues. The AR10/LR308 system is finicky to begin with. I hope your rifle works well for you. I still think for the price there is a lot of value in the PSA LR308 platform rifles. Just be prepared in case these issues occur in your rifle, but again don’t be surprised if you buy a more expensive brand and it does the same thing. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Because it is a second focal plane, there is an also a FFP version to my knowledge but this one is the SFP version. I show it’s a second focal plane in my unboxing video of this scope

@SabertoothDefenseSystems gotcha gotcha cause I was looking at this sight online before looking for videos and online it said FFP so I was confused and I'm sure I commented before hearing you say SFP😅😅. so I'm guessing they have both versions

@@tatatillo4314 no worries. To be completely honest I didn’t know there was a FFP version until fairly recently. I’m sure it’s comparable in terms of quality. Just curious as to how the eyebox is gonna be on that one considering the 10x on the SFP is a bit tight.

Glad to be of service! Have fun! It’s a neat little gun!

Nice! Hope it works well for ya!

Thanks! As stated in the video the Tango Down ACRO plate! Thanks for watching!

If they have IR capabilities or night vision they will be able to see the illuminator. Without night vision they will not be able to see it. That being said there is a slight red tint to the ir lense when it’s being operated, but it wouldn’t be able to be seen from a distance

Hey man, I would give the 20” carbon fiber rogue a fair shake if I were you. Who knows, it could be way more accurate due to that barrel! Definitely give it a shot and let me know how it goes. It could very well be a nice rifle!

In this video I was using PSA’s ambidextrous AR10 charging handle. I wouldn’t recommend it actually, it broke shortly after this video was filmed. I’d spend a bit extra cash and get either a POF tomahawk or radian raptor AR10 charging handle. Or even try Aero Precision’s AR10 charging handle

Ah a fellow fan! Yup it’s one of the best kept secrets in music🤌 my favorite band without question

Give it a try!

Yup correct, I misspoke. Unfortunately no way for me to edit this video with the software it was edited on

Yes it did, but only in conjunction with adding a heavier buffer and heavier buffer spring as stated in the video

Great points indeed. I also think they do a good job keeping the platform alive and well!

Nice! It’s definitely neat that they really thought about the lefties in all of their product lines!

🤙

Nice!

You’ll enjoy it! I got the SFP model which was before they even made this in the FFP model. That scope will do great for your rifle!

Definitely not a bolt action so don’t expect bolt action performance

They would probably do just about the same, maybe a little bit better. Still, this is tough! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you found some value in the content, and hope you stick around for more!

I think so too! I’ve seen another video with someone showing that combo and I thought it was neat! Thanks for watching and stopping by the channel!

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

I think it’s a well constructed bag, but it isn’t without criticism. The reason is 90% of the other reviewers don’t actually shoot or try to use it. They just unbox it and go, “yup, it’s the best”🙄 I think it would be great for those use cases you stated! Thanks for watching!

Nice! That’s a cool rifle! Thanks for watching!

I believe it! I had one for the P320 and loved it

Your have to test it out for yourself. I just tried to increase as much resistance as possible and it worked for me. Start with that, and see if you need a different spring afterwards. It’s kind of a game of trial and error

Thanks for sharing and for checking out the video!

Nope I don’t apply any type of filter to the audio. This is all recorded on a smart phone so the audio isn’t the best it could be to truly represent how the gun sounds

Yeah it was obvious the prior owner messed with it and caused it to stop. Luckily it was a simple parts swap to get it running

Lol I bet that made you feel good😘

Thanks for checking it out. Barrel length was 20”

Definitely the weakest link of this firearm is the magazine

Good way to look at it. As a battle rifle I think this thing excels!

Thanks for watching and for sharing!

I can tell they bug you lol. I would agree that those two calibers don’t need comps. But I think you need to look at it from a value addition to the rifle/uppers for the price they command. Whether we like it or not, for value sake, more people would prefer to get a muzzle brake over an A2 birdcage flash-hider when they’re paying over $1700 for a rifle. In the onset of AR’s becoming popular around 05-08’ people would be upset when a rifle they paid in excess of $1500 had an A2 birdcage flash hider, rather than an upgraded muzzle brake or flash hider. So the brakes are usually added for the sake of value, whether needed or not. Appreciate the comment and your view!

@@SabertoothDefenseSystems Thanks for the reply. I would also like to commend you on your comments on practical accuracy. I shoot from the prone position with no rest or bags or anything. I am in the dirt with elbows on ground. If I can hit in a 6 inch circle at 50 yards with 5.56 or 300BLK, thats good enough. You are not going to have a bench rest that controls your breathing if SHTF
