Opinion of PSA products?

[JayeMechanico]

The Gen3 PA10 18'' has been a very reliable, accurate piece in my experiences so far. Great value. Heavier than a Ford F150 though

 

[Slammer13]

I acquired a GF3 in trade and am happy with it. I have a couple of their ar15 uppers and am equally content with them. I've been jonesing for one of their daggers but only if it was in .40 S&W. In hindsight, as I typed that thought out I realized some may question my judgement outright for being a .40 fan.

I am also interested in the Dagger. I do not own a 9, looks like a contender. The Rock 556 doesn't interest me at the moment.

They are also making ammo now at reasonable prices. For the record I do own a couple of their "No Beto" lowers.

I missed out on that one.

There are three meme lowers I'd love to have.

***K Cancer
Mad Dog
No Beto

the "AR-14" joe lower is pretty funny. Has "dog faced pony soldier" on it.

If you're on their email list just wait for the "blem" frame of your color choice. They normally run $50. Usually in the same ad there will be a complete slide of the same color for $200.

With shipping and transfer my Daggers run me around $320 each.

Or, at least once a week, they offer a deal with a complete Dagger, mags, and a bag for $370-$400 depending on how many mags.

There are two frame sizes. Compact and full sized. Both take the compact slide, making either a G19 or G45 clone.

Beto isn't tired of losing yet so there's always the chance they do another run of them.

I have the Pony Soldier, Ghost Gun, and FJB. All are built.

The Dagger is good to go. I have a few of them. I would buy a frame when they were on sale. Wait until slides were on sale and get one. I'm not a big fan of the Magpul magazines but I have enough Glock mags to make do.

PSA's Dagger is the best pistol bargain on the internet.

Battlefield Vegas, after trying numerous different brands, uses PSA fully auto AKs and ARs, firing thousands of rounds a day, exclusively because they just work. I have never had a problem with any PSA firearm.

I have several Daggers in different sizes as well, and while I have had problems with Magpul mags in regular Glocks, they run fine in all my Daggers. Another reason to buy PSA.

I got one of their FJB lower receivers. Haven't built anything with it yet.

You don’t say, I didn’t know that they made such a treasure. Got a pic?

I’d like to get one too.

All of these meme lowers are limited edition type stuff. They've been sold out for a long time.

Pony Soldier markings are pretty good.

I don't think i agree. Older colts, for all the stupid stuff they did, large pin lowers, takedown pins, sear blocks, and semi BCG's, all shoot fantastically. Colt knows how to make a fantastic AR barrel and that isn't something Bushmaster was ever able to step to Colt with. There's other stuff, things like proper HPT/MPI on bolts, proper gas port size, gas key/castle nut staking, extractor spring inserts, etc.

a lot of colt guns in the 60s, 70s, 80's, and 90's tended to be made with whatever was left over in the factory, so you have SP1s with full fence lowers and sporter iis with slab side lowers, many variations of upper ect ect, but I feel bushmaster back in the day was a pretty good way to get an AR15 in ye olden times, of course you had SGW, which then turned to Oly Arms later in life. and a few other smaller manufacturers that made AR15s.

my "period correct" retro gun is built off bushmaster parts, lower and upper with some more modern parts thrown in the mix for smooth operation.

You are correct about Colt, but bushmaster missed a lot of stuff that really shouldn't be missed

Which would you rather have? A slab side lower with some weird dimensions or an unsealed, unstaked BCG that wasn't hpt/mpi'd? We can pick and choose and fix all that now, but back then things weren't so easy.

Bushmaster made some good stuff, but they also got a lot of stuff wrong.

Ordered some more kits for upccoming grad and bday gifts.

the company that was worse about not staking was probably DPMS tbh, all the vintage bushmasters ive seen and owned had staked gas keys.
