Is there any chance you would do a run of the PSA 9mm bolt carrier assemblys that are ramped for a standard AR15 hammer?
|

I actually spoke to one of their reps about 3 weeks back & I was told that the newer ones are supposed to be ramped. I think they'll do a rma replacement if you get one that's not ramped.

Ramped Bolts in, going online tommorrow. Meaning they will come with your 9mm kits also if ordered tomorrow? Kits that have the ramped bolt will have that notation in the description. |

I wish i would have waited now to buy one, I have one of the old unramped bolts, had to buy a 9mm hammer for it.
|
|
Am I blind and just missing it, or do none of the kits show ramped BCGs?
|
|
I would guess they want to get rid of all the non ramped bolts that will not sell once the ramped ones show up :)
|
|
Will PSA replace a non-ramped bolt they recently sold with a ramped one now?
|
|
|
why would they you bought one that did not say it was ramped.

Wow... That's pretty bullshit that the new carriers are $60 more. I bet they drop down after all the old ones are sold out.
Just go ahead a penalize the customer. PSA should have done their homework before introducing these rifle kits with a standard hammer and non ramped carrier. |

Thank you for your input.
We have always used a standard un-notched 9mm compatible hammer in our kits. The non-ramped bolt works just fine with this hammer. If you happen to have a notched hammer from another kit, our parts, lower parts kits and lower build kits are some of the best values in the market. |

Especially when it's already in the mill at the factory. |

is the BCG in this ramped? http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/ar-upper-rifle-kit-clearance/psa-10-5-9mm-1-10-melonite-upper-with-bolt-and-charging-handle.html View Quote It does say "9mm bolt"? Who knows... |

Hmmm. Just ordered that 10.5 upper. Ramped or not?
Am I correct to assume that this is not going to run on a lower with a Jard, or G-SSAE trigger or the SD3g trigger? |
|
from what they posted if it does not say it comes with a ramped bolt then it dont.

Seems clear in his post

Got that upper in last week. it does not have a ramped bolt and it is a semi auto only bolt.
|
|
how much clearer than it will say 9mm ramped bolt if it has a ramped bolt in the kit can they be ?
|
|
Evidently not which is why we asked. They said as the 11th. Then said as in the description. An email just received with my order number on from PSA says all are now ramped. Though their product descriptions do not indicate as such. Guess I will see Friday.
The response here from them did need clarification. |

View Quote yeah i mean this is PSA forum and it's not like they are swamped by 100 questions everyday just spend a few minutes and give us a clear answer, how hard can that be? |

It sounds like they pulled u ramped bolts from their complete uppers, replacing them with ramped bolts. Though the description for complete uppers does not indicate it. And they they are selling ramped and unramped bolts separately.
I would suspect that the unramped bolts will not sell much and they will get sent out to the maker for ramping and find their way into complete uppers in the future. But they offer them at a good price for the guys that have mills to save PSA the trouble of getting them ramped. |

For those of us not familiar with the 9mm AR's, does anyone have a picture showing a ramped 9mm bolt versus a non-ramped bolt. Or a link with a picture? I just received the 10.5 9mm pistol, kit from PSA on 5/7/15. A ramped bolt was not in the description at the time I ordered. Here are images of the bolt I received. Is this what is considered a "ramped" bolt. http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=76604 http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=76605 View Quote i don't think they are "ramped", it seems 9mm "ramped" bolt has longer and shallower ramp, this looks like just an ordinary ar15 ramp |

I wish this was a little clearer. If it was, I think I'd be ready to buy the upper, mag block, mags, etc. today. If it were for a pistol on a $35 lower, I wouldn't care, but I'm leery of putting it on a stamped SBR lower if it's not (fully) ramped and it could wallow out the hammer pin hole.
Can PSA confirm any of the following: - Is Dr. FA's bolt one of the original unramped or new ramped PSA bolts? PSA: The pic DR Fire Ant posted is of a ramped bolt - Are Dr. FA and postban's bolts the same? PSA: The PSA Bolts in both pictures are the same. - Are all uppers really shipping with ramped bolts like mike240's PSA email stated, or will the listing say "ramped" like the PSA post here stated? PSA: The description will state which kits have ramped bolts. - Are the bolts above the "ramped" ones that are shipping with uppers? PSA: See answer to first question. - Does that pic show what one gets if they order a bolt marked as "ramped"? PSA: See answer to first question. |
|
So with a ramped bolt, I can use a standard AR hammer without causing accelerated wear on the lower, is that correct?
|
|
If PSA would take all their un-ramped bolts and have them ramped and stop listing both types for sale all these questions would go away ..
|
|
Or if their going to sell un-ramped bolts sell them with a notched hammer...

View Quote I have read the description for the PSA 10.5" 9mm SQR 7" pistol kit and have yet to find where an "includes ramped bolt carrier" is mentioned. The kit I ordered did not mention it but it came with the ramped bolt carrier, that is why I posted the above pictures. I am not complaining just sayin' |
|
if there's a picture of BCG that PSA specifically says "ramped" will be great
|
|
The two pictures of the bolt I received (pics above) is a ramped bolt.
|
|
I just received my 10.5 9MM upper assembly yesterday and it has what appears to be a ramped bolt like those pictured above. But, mine came with rust in the chamber and a canted front sight base so I shipped it back yesterday for them to look at/repair. I hope it will be returned soon.

It looks like the tool that was supposed to cut the angle was not engaged properly and all it did was lightly skim the top with no angle cut.
I would definitely contact PSA about this issue. QC was on the back burner that day. |
