What 10 round mags is everyone using? Magpuls don't work in my lower. Cpd 20's work fine but can't find the 10's. I bought asc 10 rounder and with the bolt open it will seat, bolt closed it won't. Just need a couple for hunting.
Thanks |

First Question Sku 7779868 PSA PA-10 20” Rifle Length 7mm-08 1/9 Stainless Barrel - Does this item really have a Muzzle Thread: 5/16-24 or is that a miss print and it really has a Muzzle Thread: 5/8-24? If It is 5/16-24 what flash hider or muzzle brake are you recommending as non of yours will fit. Second Question I notice you are selling complete upper with BCG but have no BCG for AR10 in stock. Do you know when you will have BCG for AR10 in stock? |

I'll answer my own question! I went ahead and got a Gen 2 upper. Here it is on a Gen 1 lower:
https://photos.shutterfly.com/full/62409097825 https://photos.shutterfly.com/full/62409098497 I also got a Gen 2 lower. So you can easily compare here is a Gen 2 lower w/ a Gen 2 upper: https://photos.shutterfly.com/full/62409113794 https://photos.shutterfly.com/full/62409113794 Just open the first link and then go to slideshow mode and you will be able to see all four pics. |

However, due to height differences, not all LR308 lowers will work on our uppers. We recommend using all PSA PA10 components for best results. |

First let me say that I am a huge PSA fanboy, having made $$$1000s$$ of purchases in the last few years.
I have not found this info by searching so I will ask here. I have a Gen1 PA10. I was an early purchaser. My serial is 14xx. I cannot get this rifle to run. I have tried everything in my skill set. I even had a skilled gunsmith look at it and she will still not run. My questions are: Should I send this back to PSA? What can or will they do for me? I have attempted to email customer service with no response after a week. I do not have the time to wait 38 minutes on the phone for someone to pick up. (I tried 3 times) Normally I would install an adjustable gas block, but I think this rifle has chamber and ejector issues as well. Any help appreciated. |

my "PSA PA10 20" Rifle Length CHF 7.62x51 1:12 15" SR10 Keymod Upper - with BCG and CH - 77932294"' handguard is neither keymod or m-lok. I'm simply looking for hand grip covers for the slots. What slots do I have?
6 rows of slots measure ~9.8 x 38mm and 1 row of slots (at 6 o'clock) measures ~6.75 x 34.7mm. The smaller slot has the tear drop like a keymod but the slots are much longer - tear drops are on 2" centers whereas keymod's are much shorter. The larger slots looks like they maybe setup to mount keymod rails. Will grips fit straight up or do I have to mount keymod rails on first? |
|
|
[#14]
u got hosed by PSA's product description - sounds like you have the MI G2 SS and not the keymod standard. So you will need to purchase the MI G2SS panels.

you guys know if the gen 2 upper is compatible with the DPMS low or high rail style? I know the gen 1 was compatible with the dpms low style but the rear tang is now 0.200" which according to Midwest is now the DPMS high rail style. any help wouldesk be appreciated.

With the upper on, the mags don't push up quite high enough to lock in on the mag catch. After multiple attempts with 3 different mags he finally got one to lock in when he smacked it hard enough to bruise his palm. No issues at all seating a mag without the upper. Did you have any mag catch issues with the upper on? View Quote Bullfrog - there was a machining problem with the rear bevel of the magwell on earlier PA-10 lowers that keeps Magpul mags from fully seating. Initially, I trimmed the back of the mags... http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_301/254149_PSA-PA10-questions-post-here.html&page=9#i2788317 http://imgur.com/HwyDTKp ...but decided to get the Dremel and adjust the rear magwell bevel. The rear bevel was too shallow, especially in the center where the 'spine' of the mag runs. Initially, I thought I could just clear the 'points' but found that re-working the entire bevel to more closely match my AR-15s was needed. http://imgur.com/a/EPNQn My lower is a 1st Gen version 2 PA-10 Multi with a PF 004xxx serial. Check the rear 'over-insertion ridge' of your mag on both sides of the spine for 'dents'. If the mags are dented on the back, chances are good that the interference is the magwell. |

Took my complete Gen2 lower and Gen2 18" Mid-length .308 WIN 1:10 13.2" Keymod Nitride Upper - with BCG and Charging Handle - 516444630 out last weekend and put about 8-10 rounds through it before I ran into the bolt not fully going into battery issue. Finally got the bolt to release and got the unfired round out. Took it home and removed the inner extractor spring and hand chambered about 10 rounds before it got stuck again. This time it looked like it got fully closed, but it took a rubber mallet to get it loose again.
Bought the Sprinco Red buffer spring and extractor spring combo and a BCM H3 buffer after reading through all the comments I could find on the internet. Got those in yesterday, took it out today on lunch to give it a go and shot 30 rounds of different ammo with no issues at all. Hoping that's got it fixed. |

Thanks for the info. glad to see other folks are not having issues. i guess u and I drew the short straws. 2 out of 3 of my pa10's are not reliable. all three have CHF upper assemblies. it's sad for me that my gen2 has the same exact feed issue as my gen1.
i'll try the better grade springs and see what happens. my buffer spring does sounds weak / slow on feeding. |

View Quote Hope it works for you (and hope it really is the fix on mine.) I knew going into it that I may have issues from what I'd read, so I wasn't too shocked. Sucks to have to put another $50-60 into it, but that still has me at only about $800, so I'm still plenty happy if it runs. Really didn't want to send it back in...especially since it sounds like the problem persists for many even after it's received back. It's dumbfounding how if it really is just a buffer and some springs why PSA doesn't correct the issue themselves. As well as they already sell with known issues, if they were to put out a reliably functioning rifle at that price point, it would be a real game changer. Now to test the accuracy of it. |

are you using the collapsible stock or an A2 style fixed stock? You must use the specific "308 rifle length" buffer in the fixed stock setup. The standard Ar rifle buffer is too long and the collapsible is too short. good luck

I got the Gen2 blem complete lower that went on sale this month. It has a carbine buffer that is slightly longer from what I've read.
Is this true? What are my options for swapping out the grip and stock? I'm assuming any AR15 grip will work. |

I've tried to figure this out. Sorry if I've missed it. I have a PA-10 Gen2 upper and lower. I want to upgrade the trigger. I have a Geissele SSA and an SSA-E on hand. I know these had trouble in the past. Do either of them work with Gen2? If not, what higher end triggers do work? I'd prefer a two stage around 2.5 on first stage and around 1.0 on the second stage (similar to SSA-E). Thanks in advance for replies.

Got one within 5 minutes of being back in stock. Just wish they had the NiB listed. Not going to shoot enough to make a difference but I was willing to spend the extra $50 to get it.
