    getting a bit salty...psa has never been a let down for me. their customer service isnt the best but their product is solid for a great price. What is the real difference between a 1800 dollar ar and a 650 dollar one other than the name stenciled on the side...

    Coming from the only guy still crying about bcm being the greatest and his all mighty wisdom, no one cares about your POV or your responses. We are just trying to make you shed enough tears to short out your electronic device so we can just be notified of responses that pertain to the topic at hand.

    I was asked a question, and I provided an answer.

    If you don't like it, so be it. I couldn't care less.

    QA/QC

    Tolerance stacking is common on lesser quality rifles. While PSA has a few good parts that are rebranded, many of their parts suffer due to their QA/QC.

    Companies like BCM and DD are using Schmid Tool lower parts, while PSA has parts made overseas.

    I, along with many others, have had issues with PSA parts and their horrible customer service.

    You may like them, because you have never handled quality before.

    It's even worse that some of their parts come from overseas.

    I've got stuff from PSA, Noveske, Advanced Armament, White Oak, and Craddock Precision.

    PSA is reliably acceptably milspec.

    PSA used FN barrels. Not sure if they still do, but they did. Never heard anything in regards to Noveske barrels being in their lineup.

    PSA once used FN barrels for a short time on their premium uppers.

    That doesn't account for the dozens of other no-name uppers they cobble together.
