Action does not always lock open on an empty MagPul magazine which tells me it is not moving to the rear quit far enough. What needs to be changed ? View Quote Did you ever try the 7.62x51 with the gas block closed down some? I'm using a fixed block on a 20" barrel. Mil spec 7.62x51 won't reliably cycle, while commercial .308 and my light hand loads cycle perfectly. |

Well, i finally finished and went out and squeezed off some break in rounds on my PA10 build.
I used a sub 500 sn PA10 lower receiver (bought day they went live) along with a PA10 lower build kit, and a stripped PA10 upper receiver. I used a PA10 upper receiver build kit, with the PA10 buffer tube, the PA10 replacement buffer spring they sent with the PSA heavy buffer they sent as a replacement to the short buffer and spring. and a CTR stock by magpul. I used a PSA PA10 phosphate bcg group, fresh out of the box. I used a Odin works 15.5 free float keymod rail. I used a 18" stainless barrel i got off the exchange here. It has a spider engraved on its bottom. Has a rifle lenght gas system, with a non adjustable gas block. I used one magpul 25 round magazine. I used a vortex strikefire for sighting, but this was mostly a function / break in test. The first round went into battery without issue. and fired without issue. Round two, however, went into battery but the bolt failed to do so. Evenf orward assist would not function enough to get the bolt to move forward. So i dropped the mag, and pulled the charging handle back. then released. It slammed into battery without issue. This went on for a few rounds, so i then broke it down and oiled the rifle. Tried agian. this went on for the frist 20-30 rounds, sometimes firing 2, and 3 without issue, but by the 30th round, she was loading and running smooth without any failures of the bolt to go fully into battery. I am happy with how she ran,once she got broke in. I will continue to break it in, and run it until i get well over 100 rounds without the battery issue. Hopefully this was just a tight chamber, and it is all good to go now, but time will tell. This is my first ar10, so i was excited, and pleased in the end of how it ran after the 30th round or so. I was using 7.62x51 nato white box. as the break in ammo. |

Why is the PA10 hard to come by? manufacturing capacity or component shortages? Can't find a 10 but my local store has a pile of 15's stacked in the floor.

should i wait for a PSA PA10 18" Mid Length Stainless Steel .308 WIN 1:10 Rifle - 504355 or move on to other options?

It is currently hard to come by as we are in the gap between gen 1, and gen2 releases. Gen 2 is coming. It is a lower redesign, from what we've been told. this is mostly visiual, as we've been told all upper assembies will mate and work without issue. PSA can chime in more here, as I dont work for them and this is just me trying to be helpful. Originally Posted By thesilverbullet:

I built my PSA 10, off of their lower and upper and Lower build kit. I went with a free float guard and another barrel as listed above. that said, only you can decide what is best for you. |

any info when psa may be releasing a short / small frame option like the G2?
i found where the psa rep stated that the gen2 lower was cosmetic only - but it's hard to believe someone would release a cosmetic only change except for maybe changing suppliers. |

Hey guys. I just picked up my first PSA lower and from some of the builds I've seen here, It's gonna be awesome. Any word on these "G2" builds? Is this why PSA doesn't have any complete uppers in stock? I hope we see some availability soon, I'm getting anxious

I recently bought two PA-10 lowers, as well as two PA-10 classic lower build kits. I built the lowers, and put on the 20" rifle upper I bought at the same time. Went to the range and the bolt would not lock back. It also doesn't travel far enough back to eject the round. After reading through several threads here and comparing the buffer tubes received to a standard AR buffer tube I have from PSA on a 9mm Lower, it is apparent that both kits included an AR-15 buffer tube rather than the longer PA-10 buffer tube, although they did have the correct H Buffers. I didn't look at the spring.
I emailed customer service who requested I strip both lowers down and return the kits for a "Speedy Exchange". This isn't the first time PSA has goofed an order on me and asked that I run around to make it right. Last time I sucked it up and just bought the extra part that PSA left out. I'm happy to return the buffer tubes, but it seems nuts that I am supposed to strip the lowers (and I guess rebuild them later, if the order comes in right then!) to get this fixed. I'm also not thrilled about needing to return parts on the front end to make up for a retailer's mistake. |

Sorry for the trouble but what buffer spring do I need to run with the PSA buffer and carbine buffer tube? Also is the PSA carbine buffer tube Mil Spec diameter or commercial? Sorry for the trouble but the PSA website seems to lack this info.

Hello all.
Ive been in the process for a while now with building an AR10. Ive been stuck at the barrel purchase for many months because this is my barrel of choice. http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-20-rifle-length-stainless-steel-308-win-1-10-barrel.html I've asked PSA if and when it will be in stock and they can't give me a time frame. Was told to watch the site daily for when its in stock. Well thats been over 6 months. With the warmer weather coming I would like to complete this build. What are your recommendations for a barrel? And what are your thoughts? The AR10 will be used for hunting and 200+ yard target shooting. I am not looking for a matched barrel since this will be used in the woods for hunting. I would like a stainless 20" 308 with close to the 1:10 twist. Thanks you, Scott |

I don't know why PSA even sells the short buffer. it is my understanding/assumption that the short buffer is sold for those who use an AR15 tube instead of the PA10 tube. Well that's about as dumb as it gets: Tell people you need to purchase specific parts but then don't really make them compatible. Or provide proper instruction in your description. So if I understand this correctly I can: Use the PSA buffer tube, but use an A2 AR15 buffer and spring? OR... Use the PSA short carbine buffer with standard AR15 carbine buffer tubes and springs? Thanks, just want to make sure I get this straight. |

if they dont have to assemble it completely they can get it to you faster.When it comes to the pa 10 PSA really dropped the ball on it.As in my previous posts,why come out with a gen 2 lower yet they still cant make a decent upper for it.Real big hit or miss getting your upper to work.

thanks.
not seeing anything on-line but i finally got my hands on one today in G'ville, SC. they had a couple pa10's w/ carbine gas & 16" barrel (black & stainless). i want a 18" barrel for deer & pig. the black barrel was $950. They also had a MP10 for $1,350 in the store - it's been there since last december or longer ($1,125 on-line price). i guess im waiting on the gen2 w/ 18" barrel & mid length gas. |

just checked mine, no clip, blind hole on the rear side and the rod is long enough that it all but touches the barrel nut. I wonder if the rod is too short? maybe one for a ar15?

Anyone else having ZQ1 ammo problems?
Since receiving my replacement Magpul version 18" upper (The fisst one had an incredibly tight chamber), I'd only test fired it with Fed XM80 ammo- Flawless. Finally got around to sighting it in yesterday, burned up the Fed ammo and loaded a mag of ZQ1 147gr ammo. First round fed and fired fine, but failed to extract (Appears like the extractor failed to hang on to the rim) and allowed the spent case to remain in the chamber. The bolt cycled and half pushed another round up against the fired round, jamming the mechanism up nicely. Had to use a plastic scraper to pull the unfired round rearward (The base was still trapped by the mag lips). I tried letting the bolt fly home several times to see if the extractor would grab the case, but it didn't work. Of course I forgot a cleaning/ range rod, so my day was done at that moment. The stuck case tapped out with little resistance and unfired ZQ1 cartridges dropped into the chamber without resistance. I won't be out at the range for several days to see if it was a fluke or if there's going to be problems. |

I saw that too! Same price I paid for my PA10 blem lower a month ago. Anyone able to make a list of the specific parts that MUST be Palmetto State Armory and aftermarket parts that are acceptable? This could help speed up the build process since PSA hasn't had any complete uppers for a while...

As your upper needs to be serviced anyway, just include the port door issue with your RMA request. |

My hand loads and all the commercial .308 I've tried run perfectly. After a couple of hours at the range today, I got the gas block adjusted so that Aguila 7.62 NATO ran beautifully - bolt locked back on empty, rounds stripped from a full mag, ran as perfectly as commercial .308. 10 round groups were about 4 inches at 100 yards off hand. Switching to ZQI was a mess - 6 rounds in a 12 inch blob, wouldn't reliably cycle, had to 'mortar' three rounds to get the bolt open, gas adjustments were all over the place. At this point, I'll probably pull the ZQI and use it for reloading brass. edit/update... I just broke down 33 rounds of ZQI 7.62x51 purchased from AIM Surplus.

That is exactly what myself 3 others I work with are trying to build. If PSA would just make some more Melonite barreled keymod or prefer m-loc railed uppers in 18" or 16" with mid length gas systems.

View Quote the barrel came that way, its not a PSA barrel. So no psa barrels have those engravings. The lower build kit was bought on release day, as was the upper and lower receivers. |

So I can pick up the "PSA PA10 upgrade kit" and use components from other companies? Do you have a recommended manufacturer for barrels since they seem harder to keep in stock? Thanks again for the help everyone! |

Thanks again for the help everyone! View Quote yes you can use components from other companies. BUT... Be very careful. Not all things work with each other as has been previously mentioned in this thread. If it were me, id do what i did : buy the psa lower and upper buy the psa lower build kit, if that is unavailable, I'd buy the lower PARTS kit, and build out the buttstock with a standard carbine tube and shortie buffer or the PSA AR10 buffer tube, spring and buffer. Build out the stripped upper with PSA upper forward assist kit, and the ejector door kit. I'd buy a DPMS pattern barrel, it HAS to be dpms pattern. Length of barrel is preference. I ran with an 18" I'd also buy a DPMS LOW free float rail of my choosing. I like long rails so 15 inches for me., |

Finally got one rifle put together. Now waiting for a 16" or 18" upper but the prices for what's come up the last week or so is nuts - $1K+ for an upper?

View Quote The latest 308 uppers use hammer forged barrels, crafted for us by FN Manufacturing. These new models have been requested by our customers since the 308 line was launched. While the hammer forged products offer a significant value for the 308 shooter, we will continue to offer options that are more budget friendly. Thank you for your support. |
