I did a PSA 20 inch A2 and a 16 inch Freedom Rifle back in 2018. Did the complete uppers and lowers when they were on sale with free shipping. For other parts went with higher quality from other people. Got about $600 in each then. I have long wanted to do a 11.5 inch pistol. I just recently got a AK-47 from them. I am very impressed with the quality of the build.
@@OutdoorJack I both of them with circular hand guards with heat shields underneath and in the case of the A2 an A2 fixed stock. I put carry handles on them because I like that look. If I had been able to when Brownells had the retro line out I would have gotten every single one since I like that pattern of the M-16. I do when I have the money want to get a 16 inch with a rail and do the optic with red dot and light and laser on the rail.
My PSA 10.5" pistol has been 100% reliable. I bought the Magpul version kit and added a Spikes Tactical lower. The black on the PSA upper and Spikes lower matched up perfectly, like they were made for each other. Mine is sighted in and carried with 77gr. OTM's to maximize effectiveness with the shorter barrel. Practice with the 55gr. ammo does not show a lot of deviation at shorter ranges. Overall I am happy with the purchase!
Love my 10.5” but I’m only 5’10 and have relatively short(28” draw with a bow), muscular arms so that could be why it feels so nice to me. Or it could be because I’m running a 12” rail with a flash can which adds some length. I’m definitely not small, but I’m far from lanky
Nice video, I have a PSA pistol lower, but Bear Creek Arsenal uppers in 10.5" and 7.5". I ordered another PSA lower, carbine this time, for a .410 Charles Daly upper I just got, so that will be its own firearm. Just a critique of when you were sighting in the rifle. I wouldn't rest the weapon on the magazine like you did, I'd use a bipod, bag, or something, that way the mag isn't the only thing supporting the rifle. You could see the rifle jumping up off the table when you were sighting it in. I've already got the 10.5" zeroed in, using Magpul flip-down sights and a Sig 20mm red-dot. I'm going to zero the 7.5" once I get another set of Magpul sights, it already has a Bushnell 26mm red-dot. Well-done video, just proves that PSA is a good alternative to pricey AR lowers and uppers.
See a 5.56 is a 5.56. AR snobs will say that you have to spend $2K for a Daniel Defense. I run a couple of hundred rounds through my Palmette AR-15 pistol weekly. My only complaint is the heat. But I haven't had any hiccups. Thank you PSA.
Haha I defiantly don’t. PSA every once in a while will send me a rifle on loan to test. I test it out of the box the I can buy or send back. Most of the time I send back cus I spend to much on the ammo to test it 🤦🏼♂️
@@OutdoorJack Appreciate the reply, not many do that. I have been a mechanic since birth and the thought of metal on metal is like fingernails on a chalkboard. When you pull the "Love" handle on my AR it just whispers "Hello" in Obi Wan's voice.
At 10.5 and semi auto, it isn't a precision barrel and I wouldn't treat it as such. I run all my PSA ARs like they owe me money..... I have yet to be disappointed.
So the one I got was just under $600, it was actually a Blem model. However I didn't see any issues with it. This is nearly the exact rifle that is in stock and its $649.99 bit.ly/3mUQDCv
Check PSA website for coupon code. I was a first time customer at checkout and got the gun for $500. I wouldn't worry about stock inventory because they restock almost everything in about a week.
Not quite sure but this read like it would be - Bolt: Full-auto profile bolt carrier group. Shot-peened, mil-spec Carpenter No. 158® steel bolt. Gas Key Hardened to USGI Specifications, Fastened with Grade 8 screws, and Staked Per Mil-Spec.
Ok I’m not being a smart ass, I’m asking this question because I just DO NOT understand………you said AR pistol in 5.56……….so why are you shooting it from the shoulder? Isn’t that a BigBeef right now ?
Yeah, your somewhat correct. It’s a weird thing. Lol 😂 if I am not shooting it I can call it whatever I like but technically to call it a pistol when you shoot it you need to only make sure it’s not touching your shoulder and your using the brace as a support not a stock.
I don't anyone that does not put an ar pistol to there shoulder even with a brace. Smh. But you can go ahead and wrap that strap around your arm and shoot it one handed. have fun.

Nice psa. Cheap or not it still goes bang every time I pull the trigger 😎😎😎
Yup, if it goes bang win I pull the trigger every time that’s good on my book. 👍🏼 be sure to like and sub. 🤛🏼
Thanks for these couple of PSA AR pistol videos. I'm about to pull the trigger on purchasing this exact model and you helped me make that decision.
Awesome be sure to follow the link in my description it helps me out with commissions lol and make more videos and pay for ammo.
@@OutdoorJack I'm happy to do that keep it up man we appreciate it
Thank you!@@Madmartigan81
I just bought this one, still waiting on it, so now I'm all stoked watching videos 😂
Was looking at the 7.5 inch but seeing your video I think the 10.5 is a better size for me.
Awesome 👏 maker sure you follow the link I’m my description to order yours. Helps me pay for ammo lol 😂
Bought mine today at my local gun show in Miami.
Nice, have fun and be safe.

That is some awesome info and great feedback. It is a nice little gun that is for sure.
10.5 is cool but it just feels too short for me. I lovee my 12.5. Just the right size between compact and full size.
Yeah, I bet that is a good size.

Nice. I just got mines.
Awesome, be safe and God Bless!
You must have a lot of money to be using an AR without lube. We poor people have to care for our stuff, you know, GREASE IT UP, espically the bolt.

Will this fit in a regular sized back pack??
Yeah for sure, and if you went with a folding arm brace you’d get even smaller. Follow link in description to check it out. 👍🏼

How’s the ticks in the tall grass 😉
Haha 😂, no ticks but skeeters were bad!
"How not to break in a new barrel."
Yeah, I was testing it to see how it would handle it.

You'd be much better served to invest in some bags to rest on.
Yeah, I have some now and a sled. Bags are huge!
did you clean off the factory oil before zeroing?
I did not. Right out of the box test.
Nice looking to get one but there out of stock how much was the AR pistol Jack they won't tell on the website

Because it's our right in America to do so.
Very important thing to put in reviews of AR pistols is the overall length.
Yeah, 10.5” thank you.
@@OutdoorJack Overall length. Not barrel length.
@@garrettsmith8286 it is 29”s exactly. At its fullest setting.
Barrel length is what makes it a pistol, overall does not matter as long as there’s not a stock or foregrip on it.
What pistol brace are you running?
The brace was the one that came with the gun it’s a SB Tactical SBA3.
Here is a link to where the gun is for more info. bit.ly/3RZeJJR
I have the KAK Blade on mine as it came from PSA.
I hope you didn’t kill anybody down range. A piece of plywood and an old fence isn’t much to stop a round let alone a stray one.
Behind that ply wood is 2 layers of railroad ties.
We call that poverty State Armory
