PSA - I hope you will permit this thread to be stickied in this forum. it will be a help i hope for your customers both new and old.
this thread is intended to be a definitive thread on PSA's Lower receivers. It is by far not perfect. if there are other things that I miss, please feel free to post up, and we'll modify the thread. Hopefully this will help people tell the difference in the various PSA lowers that they have released over the years. I expect this thread to grow as PSA releases more lowers of various types. The PSA Lower Receiver Definitive Thread We will start with the PSA AP Lowers. They are the first Lowers that PSA released. I believe they were released around 2008-2009. Then re-introduced in 2013. Per PSA Rep here on the forums, AP serials that were manufactured before 2012, have the serial number sequence below 002500. So all First run AP serial number lowers will be sub 002500. Any AP serialized lower receivers that are serial numbers 002501 and higher, were manufactured after 2015. All AP serial lowers, were produced by Aero Precision for Palmetto State Armory. PSA AP LOWERS The PSA AP lowers have the SN prefix of AP00xxx as the serial number. These forged lowers are quality made using material is 7075-T6 and are marked "CAL MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Serial number prefix is as stated above"AP". Fire selector markings are bullet pictograms. This is a "Low shelf" lower. If memory serves me correctly, they were originally released at 79.99 each. The original run is no longer in production, but the AP series was re-introduced in 2013. AP serials under 002500 will be pre 2012, AP serials with 7 digits are 2015 and later and they look like this : I do not remember if their first run AP's also came in a Safe / Fire configuration. i seem to want to think they did. Second run PSA lowers, are known as the LW lowers. They to my knowledge came in both Safe / Fire lowers and Pictogram lowers. LW Serial Prefix lowers These forged lowers are quality made using 7075-T6 and are marked "CAL MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2.Serial Number prefix is "LW". Fire selector is marked "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "high shelf" lower. They Look like : There are now numerous variatons of this lower.. the GADSDEN FLAG and the MOULTRIE FLAG and in August of 2015, they introduced the SC STATE FLAG, And US FLAG lowers.. which simply are the same as LW lowers, or any other in house or out of house produced PSA lower, with an ETCHED Gadsden "dont tread on me" flag on the opposite side of the magwell... thus also known as the "Don't Tread On Me" lower. The Moultrie, with an ETCHED Moultrie Flag on the opposite side of the roll mark magwell... this lower is marketed as the "LIBERTY" lower. The SC Flag one, much like the USA Flag lower, are pretty much self explanatory by their naming convention as to what they are. To my knowledge they are etched by a local trophy shop in Columbia, that at this time i will refrain from naming, so as to not give out all of their secrets, and to hopefully keep from getting the thread deleted. To date, all Etched PSA Lowers, including the Moultrie and Liberty, and SC flag and USA Flag, and others have a marked list price of 129.99, and can sell for less than that routinely depending upon what sales PSA is running at the time. The Gadsden flag or "Don't Tread on Me" lower looks like this : The Gadsden flag or "Don't Tread on Me" AR-10 Variant lower looks like this : The Moultrie lower, AKA the "Liberty" lower looks like this : The SC Flag flag or "Palmetto State Flag " lower looks like this : The "I STAND" lower receiver lower looks like this : The U.S. Flag lower or "Old Glory" lower looks like this : The #OneMore Lower lower looks like this : The SC STRONG Lower In the fall of 2015, South Carolina suffered from record rain fall and subsequent flooding. PSA made a lower with a state image and the word strong engraved into the mag well to commemorate the event, and assist in flood relief by donating 20.00 of each lower sale to flood relief. The Description from PSA's page was as follows : South Carolina is going through a natural disaster so devastating it is hard to put into words. Even more complex to describe is the outpouring of support coming from the hearts of so many wonderful people across this great country. While the cleanup process is still going and the rebuilding phase has yet to even begin, the belief in the kindness of ones fellow man and the hope of better days to come is just as important to the flood victims of South Carolina. For every SC strong lower sold, twenty dollars will be used to directly help flood victims across the state. You may not now or ever have lived in South Carolina, but in a time of crisis we all can be South Carolina Strong! These lowers sell/sold for 119.99 each. They look like this: both the Gadsden and the Moultrie, as well as SC Flag and US Flag lowers state they can come with either safe/fire or pictogram lowers. I think the only ones I've seen thus far were Safe/Fire setups. They are machined for PSA by L.W. Schneider PSA YOU LIE lowers : Special Run Lowers, honoring JOE WILSON's comment regarding Obama's State of the Union address. They were originally supposed to be a limited run of 999 lowers, but PSA caught a ton of flack, and had to supposedly cut production and pull them from the shelves after national media started running them in the news. These were forged lowers and made using material is 7075-T6 and are marked "CAL MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Unfortunately i cant remember what they sold for routinely, when first introduced. if anyone does have a definitive price point please let me know. I've since seen them sell for as much as 500.00 a stripped lower on gunbroker.org. The You Lies Roll mark and serial look like this : PSA NOBO12 Lowers : Special run lowers, setup in hopes to help bolster the removal of OBAMA from office, in 2012, they were released in early 2012, or late 2011. they have a unique roll mark of a "Obama-esque" type symbol, the model designation of NOBO12 instead of the usual PA-15, the serial numbers started with the prefix of "YES WE CAN", and the safe / fire was, "Hope" or "change"... Like the YOU LIE Wilson lowers, there was a lot of controversy around these lowers. They were forged lowers and made using material is 7075-T6, with Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Unfortunately i cant remember what they sold for routinely, when first introduced. if anyone does have a definitive price point please let me know. I've since seen them sell for as much as 500.00 a stripped lower on gunbroker.org. They look like this : The PSA SC Lower: It Is made by FN manufacturing in Columbia SC, it has a different roll mark than the standard LWs... they have LOW shelves, ARE M-16 Pocket Cut, and a "teflon" feel to their finish.. Their SC lower's have the SN prefix of SC for South Carolina and are most easily distinguished by their Laser cut Cross Cannon roll mark's precision. The following description is from PSA's site : Produced right here in Columbia by a mil-spec contractor, these receivers are made using the most advanced manufacturing technology to produce the industry's finest forged lowers. The low shelf design is pre-drilled for a rear lug set screw (1/4-28 tpi) which, when installed, allows adjustment for a no-rattle fit. The crossed cannon logo is engraved with laser precision on the magwell, and the serial number prefix is "SC". These forged lowers are quality made using material is 7075-T6 and are marked "CALIBER MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Serial Number prefix is "SC". Fire selector is marked "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "low shelf" lower. All currently available serials are less than 500 - while supplies last. To Date this is the ONLY lower that PSA has produced with the M16 Cut Shelf. Although there is desire amongst their die hard fans for them to convert all their lowers to being M16 Cut lowers, for accurate cloning and because it is just the right thing to do, there is an issue. These lowers while having the M16 cut, arent machined perfectly, as the inner walls of the receiver where the M-16 cut is are thicker than a standard M-16 cut lower's walls are. It is not known if these were to be milled for M16 pin's if they would function properly or not because of this. If anyone has the proper FFL to convert these lowers over to full auto, then by all means please let me know so i can update the thread. The easiest way to tell if you have an authentic FN produced lower, is to look for the m16 cut, but if you cant open the rifle, then examine the Roll mark of the cross cannons. The FN laser cut was much more detailed, and gave the PSA LOGO an almost 3D look to its engraving. it is easy to tell the difference to the quality of the lower if you examine that logo when compared to the standard PSA engraved lowers. They look like this (FN on top, standard LW Schneider on bottom): The PSA Stealth Lower They too have LOW shelves, and a mil spec finish. They have NO ROLL mark, and their serial numbers being with "PA" For Palmetto state Armory. From PSA's Site : this lower features no roll mark on the left hand side, just the caliber, model and serial. Leave the area blank or engrave your own logo for the ultimate custom rifle. These forged lowers are quality made by a mil-spec contractor using 7075-T6 aluminum and are marked "MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Serial Number prefix is "PA". Fire selector is marked "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "low shelf" lower. All currently available serials are less than 1000 - while supplies last. They look like this : The American Hero Series Lowers : On 1/30/14 PSA announced via Facebook that they were coming out with their American Hero Series. These lowers were first announced in 2 variations The Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Operation Enduring Freedom Lowers. First we'll describe the Operation Iraqi Freedom Lower. This lower has no PSA cross cannon Roll mark. It has instead an Engraving of the map outline of the country of Iraq. Instead of PA-15 as model number it states OIF-15. Instead of a PA, SC, LW, serial prefix, it has an IRAQ Prefix. From PSA's description on their site : Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our OIF-15 Iraq lowers. The lower is engraved with the outline of Iraq and the serial has a prefix of "IRAQ". In addition, for each lower sold a $5 donation will be made to the "Hidden Wounds" foundation. For more information, please visit http://www.hiddenwounds.org/ These lowers are made using the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technology to produce the industries finest, forged Mil-Spec lowers.

These forged lowers are quality made using material is 7075-T6 and are marked "CAL MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Serial Number prefix is "IRAQ". Fire selector is marked "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "high shelf" lower. Here is the OIF Lower : Secondly we'll describe the Operation Enduring Freedom Lower. This lower has no PSA cross cannon Roll mark. It has instead an Engraving of the map outline of the country of Afghanistan. Instead of PA-15 as model number it states OEF-15. Instead of a PA, SC, LW, serial prefix, (their standard ones) it has an AFGHAN Prefix. From the PSA website : Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our OEF-15 Afghanistan lowers. The lower is engraved with the outline of Afghanistan and the serial has a prefix of "AFGHAN". In addition, for each lower sold a $5 donation will be made to the "Hidden Wounds" foundation.

Serial Number prefix is "AFGHAN". Fire selector is marked "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "high shelf" lower. Here is the OEF lower : The quantity of run is yet unknown, however has been said to be "limited" for both OIF and OEF. Second Series of the American Hero series Lowers Around May 17th 2014 PSA Released what I will call the Second series of the American Hero Series Lowers. These lowers were in tribute to those servicemen and women that served our country in the Kuwaiti action of the early 90's, and the Vietnam Conflict / War of the 60's/70's. The quantity of run is yet unknown, however has been said to be "limited" for both DS-Kuwait and Vietnam. The Vietnam Lower seems to be the hardest to get of the American Hero Series. Here is the Description of the DS-Kuwait lower as it appears on PSA's Web site : Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our DS-15 Kuwait lowers. The lower is engraved with "DS-15 MULTI" and the serial has a prefix of "KUWAIT". In addition, for each lower sold a $5 donation will be made to the "Hidden Wounds" foundation.

Serial Number prefix is "KUWAIT". Fire selector is marked "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "high shelf" lower. So without further adue, here is the "Operation Desert Shield" Kuwait Lower : The second lower of the second round of the American Hero Series is the Vietnam lower. Here is the description of the PSA Vietnam Lower as it was / is on their website : Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our VTM-15 Vietnam lowers.

These forged lowers are quality made using material is 7075-T6 and are marked "CAL MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Serial Number prefix is "VIETNAM". Fire selector is marked "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "high shelf" lower. These also were listed as a regular price of 119.99 on their website. So here is the example of the Vietnam Lower (photo Courtesy of Member Nuron): Secondary photo found on the web : PSA AR-10 Series Lowers .308 Lower On 1/10/14 at the 2014 SHOT show PSA released a "Top Secret" not so top secret post on their Facebook Page It announced thier upcoming .308 lower. PSA AR-10 Gen 1 LOWER : On 8/15/14 PSA Released their AR-10 Lower. These lowers have serial prefixes of PA or PF. PA is marked .308 caliber where as PF is marked Multi Caliber. This information is from PSA's website .308 Caliber Forged 7075-T6 Receiver Hardcoat Anodized Integrated Trigger Guard Accepts SR-25 Type Magazines Made using the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technology to produce the industry's finest forged .308 lowers, our receivers are machined on an automated multi-million dollar manufacturing system which enables us to produce a product of unequaled quality and value. These forged lowers are quality made using 7075-T6 aluminum. The finish is black hardcoat anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 Class 2. Additionally the receivers include an integrated trigger guard, and are designed to use AR15 fire control groups so your favorite AR class trigger can be used. These are developed for use with SR-25 pattern magazines - which are commonly available in metal or polymer. The PSA AR-10 Lower looks like this : 01 - PSA AR-10 - Lower Gen 1[/url] .308 Lower, MULTI Caliber lower In early 2017 PSA released their Gen 2 AR-10 lowers. They have been significantly redesigned. From their site: With streamlined styling and improved function, the new and improved PSA PA10 is here. The Gen2 model offers enhanced chambers and extraction. with a more modern appearance. Precision machined from forged 7075-T6 aluminum, these lowers are then Black anodize hardcoated to MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. With an AR-15 style fire control group, and stock and grip options, the PSA PA10 allows the same configuration flexibility as enjoyed by the AR15, and is an ideal platform for the 308 cartridge. Machined from Aluminum Forgings 7075-T6 Hardcoat Anodizing: MIL-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2 Milspec diameter PA10 6-position Receiver Extension Standard AR15-style fire control group A2-style grip M4-style Stock Staked M4 Lock Nut Standard Heavy Carbine Buffer Caliber: .308 The Gen2 PA-10 receivers are functionally compatible with the Gen1 receivers, however we recommend matching Gen2 lowers to Gen2 uppers for best appearance. There are external cosmetic differences when mixing gen1 and Gen2 upper and lower receivers that some may not find appealing. The PSA AR-10 Gen 2 lowers look like this : 02 - PSA AR10 - Lower Gen 2[/url] P-TAC AR-10 Series Lowers .308 Lower On 10/17/14 PSA announced the P-TAC 10 Lower receiver with an introductory price of only 99.99, and a regular price of 139.99. P-TAC Tac10 .308 Lower Receiver 7075 T6 Forged Aluminum Lower Hardcoat anodized Compatible with PSA PA10 Uppers. Accepts SR-25 Type Magazines. Made from 7075 Forged Aluminum, these lowers are precision machined to exacting tolerances by a mil-spec supplier and then hardcoat anodized. Designed to work interchangeably with PSA PA10 uppers. Because of PSA's Official Announcement that they had bought PTAC, it is widely believed that the PTAC 10 lowers are the same in fact as PSA AR10 lowers, with the exception of the roll mark and writing on them. Here's the PTAC10 Lower. And as previously mentioned the AR-10 Etched Gadsden Lower : Finally in 2018, PSA released the 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 Lower receiver. this is only available in the Gen 2 Lower style at this time. No news on wether it will be made available as a gen 1 style, but it would seem to most likely not. Or at least that's my thoughts on it. P-TAC AR-15 Series Lowers P-tac Multi AR-15 Lower Receivers Around Christmas of 2014 PSA announced the P-TAC 15 Lower receiver. These lowers are made using the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technology to produce the industries finest, forged Mil-Spec lowers. Our receivers are machined on a multimillion dollar, automated, manufacturing system which enables us to produce a product of unequaled quality and value. These forged lowers are quality made using material is 7075-T6 and are marked "CAL MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. At this time it is only offered in a safe /fire configuration, i would not be surprised if we are to see a pictogram version in the future. Because of PSA's Official Announcement that they had bought PTAC, it is widely believed that the PTAC 15 lowers are the same in fact as PSA AR15 lowers, with the exception of the roll mark and writing on them. Here's the PTAC15 Lower. PSA Limited Edition Hardcoat Anodized Receiver Sets Released lastly on 6/12/15 (perhaps earlier) as information about the creation and release is spotty, these came in 4 variations, and are pretty limited runs. We don't at this time know more than they came in 4 types, no one is sure of how many were made of each or total, at this point. You had four options. Pink digital camo, Digital Camo, tiger stripe (Vietnam style) and Gold(which i call burnt bronze). They came sold as a Set, upper receiver, lower receiver, and buffer tube. They sold for 149.99 each. They to my knowledge were all LW serial numbered lowers. If anyone has any more info on these it would be appreciated. These were originally listed as being Ceracoated, but upon discussion with manufacturing division it has been brought to my attention that these are actually hardcoat anodized. Here is what they look like: PSA Mil-Spec FDE Hardcoat Anodized lower set : PSA Tiger Hardcoat Anodized lower set : PSA Pink Digital Camo Hardcoat Anodized lower set : PSA Digital Camo Hardcoat Anodized lower set PSA OD Green Hardcoat Anodized lower set PSA AR9 Series Lowers During 2015/2016 PSA announced their entrance into the AR9mm game. They initially released a lower for a colt magazine, along with mag blocks to allow conversions of standard mags to use colt magazines with the use of a PSA 9mm upper. Later 2015/early 2016 PSA announced the billet AR9 Glock Lower. This Lower accepted Glock Magazines, and would permit use of a PSA Hybrid bolt for their uppers to be used for either lower. The colt style lower sold for 129.99 but can be routinely found on sale lower in stripped format. These colt style lower receivers have the following description per PSA's site. : PSA 9mm Forged Pistol Lower designed to use Colt®-style magazines Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our latest 9mm AR lower. Machined from 7075 T6 forgings and then hard coat anodized, these lowers are purpose built to accept 9mm Colt®-style magazines. Designed to work with PSA's new 9mm Hybrid uppers. Works best with a Palmetto State Armory Hybrid 9mm Upper, and PSA lower build kits. These Colt style lowers look like this : The Glock 9mm lower comes in a billet version and a forged LRBHO version. PSA 9mm Billet Complete Magpul Original Equipment (MOE) Lower designed to use Glock®-style magazines with Mil-spec Matte Finish Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our latest 9mm AR lower. Machined from Billet 7075 T6 forgings and then hard coat anodized, these lowers are purpose built to accept 9mm Glock®-style magazines. Designed to work with PSA's new 9mm Hybrid uppers. The lower is assembled with a Palmetto State Armory lower build kit with a black MOE Grip, 6 position Buffer tube and black MOE stock. Must be used with a Palmetto State Armory Hybrid 9mm Upper These lowers look like this : PSA AR9 Glock magazine Last Round Bolt Hold Open Lowers (LRBHO) These are forged Lower receivers that sell with a MSRP of 129.99 and they routinely sell for 119.99. These lowers are made using the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technology to produce the industries finest, forged lowers. Our receivers are machined on a multimillion dollar, automated, manufacturing system which enables us to produce a product of unequaled quality and value. These forged lowers are quality made using 7075-T6 aluminum and are Black Hardcoat Anodized per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Comes with the magazine catch and ejector installed. Purpose built to accept 9mm Glock®-style magazines. Use of the PSA Hybrid 9mm Bolt is recommended. These lowers look like this, note the bar for the change for the LRBHO. : PSA AR45 Glock magazine with mag catch and ejectors PSA .45 ACP Billet Stripped Lower designed to use Glock®-style magazines. Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our latest .45 ACP AR lower. Machined from Billet 7075 T6 forgings and then hard coat anodized, these lowers are purpose built to accept .45 ACP Glock®-style magazines. Designed to work with PSA's new .45 ACP uppers. The lower is partially assembled with a propitiatory magazine catch and ejector, ready for all your standard AR-15 lower parts to build into a fully functioning lower. Accepts standard AR-15 fire control groups, bolt catch, take down & pivot pins, springs & detents, safety selector as well as stock, buffer tube and grips. Must be used with a Palmetto State Armory .45 ACP Upper. The PSA AR45 Lowers Look like these : PSA KS47 Series Hybrid AK style Lowers In early 2016 PSA announced the arrival of the Hybrid AR/AK lower. The official PSA site description reads as follows : The Palmetto State Armory KS47 is a variant of AR15 that combines the modular construction, accuracy and precision of the AR platform with the stopping power and the magazine options of the AK. While the current AR47 fires the 7.62x39 AK round, it uses modified AR-style magazines that are not nearly as plentiful as AK-style magazines, that were optimized for reliable feeding of the 7.62x39 round. The KS47 lets the AK shooter capitalize on his inventory of magazines and ammo with an AR-style platform. Unlike the AK, where the barrel is permanently pressed into the receiver, the KS47 features an AR-style modular configuration which consists of a barreled upper receiver, and a lower receiver that houses the fire control group and magazine. The modular configuration allows customers to have several different barrel configurations with one lower receiver, just by releasing two pins. Lower: 7075-T6 billet aluminum is hardcoat anodized, and accepts standard AR15 fire control groups. The extended magazine release is outside of the trigger guard for safety, which allows for an AK-style release movement, but also features oversize side paddles for fingertip release by the trigger finger. The KS47 lower requires the use of the PSA KS47 upper to accept AK magazines. Do not try to use standard AR uppers. They will not function with AK magazines. The Gen 1 KS47 Lower, looks like these next three images : PSA Billet Upper and lower Series Lowers In early 2016 PSA announced the arrival of the Billet Upper and lower set. These routinely sell stripped for 399.99 each, and on sale for 299.99 per set. the official PSA site description reads as follows : Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our custom billet upper and lower set. Crafted on state of the art CNC machines for precision out of solid billet 7075 T6 aluminum, and then anodized to a matte black finish. The lower features a built in trigger guard, finger grooves on the leading edge of the magwell, and an aggressive magwell cut. The upper features T-marks, m4 cuts and is cut to accommodate extended paddle bolt releases. Uses standard AR parts for barrels and build kits. Give your next next build a custom look. PSA Custom Series Billet Upper and Lower In early 2019 PSA released their Custom Series Billet sets. They are very nice looking, and sell for around 274.95 for both upper and lower. They have unique badging for the PSA Custom Series. They look like this : Some folks are reporting new serial number prefix's. PI and others. If there are confirmations of these please send me photos so i can edit the page. PI Serial Prefix lowers These forged lowers are quality made using material is 7075-T6 and are marked "CAL MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2.Serial Number prefix is "PI". Fire selector is marked "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "high shelf" lower. These lowers debut'ed around July 2016. They Look like : There has been some noticeable differences between the DC and LW lowers. As can be seen here in the following photos the DC seems to be less refined with its machining. The LW is on the left, the DC is on the right. Being that these are some of the first runs of the DC's, one can hope that they refine the machining to smooth out the differences. the magwell and grip webbing areas need particular attention as is shown in my opinion. PSA "SCD" prefixed Lower receivers In early 2017 PSA began producing more of their own lower receivers. These lowers are being produced in house by PSA or one of its conglomerate's sister companies. there are so far 2 variations of these lowers, a normal no trigger guard lower, and an integral trigger guard lower. PSA AR-15 "SCD" Serial Prefixed lower: PSA AR-15 Lower Safe/Fire Premium with built in trigger guard These lowers are made using the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technology to produce the industries finest, forged Mil-Spec lowers. Our receivers are machined on a multimillion dollar, automated, manufacturing system which enables us to produce a product of unequaled quality and value. These forged lowers are quality made using 7075-T6 aluminum and are marked "CAL MULTI" to accommodate most builds. Finish is Black Hardcoat Anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. Serial number prefix is "SCD". Fire selector markings are "Safe" and "Fire". This is a "high shelf" lower. the Integral trigger guard lower looks like this : It is my belief that any PA, PI, PF, or P*, and the SCD series of lowers are being produced in house by PSA or one of its Conglomerate's sisters, one of these companies is widely known and mentioned before above. I have concrete evidence to state this, from conversations and various discussions and talks with people high up in PSA organization. That said, its all hear say because its not official. Take anything i've said here as just that, what *I* Believe and say, as I am no employee and know nothing of their business that can be stated as concrete legally to my knowledge. lol The PSA Black Friday Store Special Tribute Lowers For Black friday 2018, PSA made a limited run of lowers for their stores. Each store was tasked with developing an image for the roll mark, and then it was sent to production. I believe the production numbers for each lower was 500 lowers per store. I could be wrong with that. If anyone has a lower for the stores that is over 500 in serial please let me know. Until PSA gives me exact production numbers on these lowers I wont know how many were made of each for sure. PSA has 5 stores, but only 4 of the stores were permitted to do this, as the Ridgeland store is so small they didn't believe their clientele would be as interested in a lower to build for their store. That said, The other 4 stores were, Greenville, Columbia (fernandina road) Summerville, and Mt. Pleasant. The Logo for the Greenville store, is reminiscent of Las Vegas's sign as it is a play on what many locals call Greenville G'vegas. Columbia's lower, was designed to say COLA with a bullet swoosh under it, playing off the Soda City type name of Columbia, to be Cola. Summerville went with a Blackbeard the pirate theme, and Mt. Pleasant chose to use the new Ravenell Bridge as their logo. Here they are: First is the "Greenville Store" lower There were only 500 Made. They sold for 39.99 and look like this : next is the "Columbia Store" lower There were only 500 Made. They sold for 39.99 and look like this : and next is the "Summerville Store" lower There were only 500 Made. They sold for 39.99 and look like this : and next is the "Mt. Pleasant Store" lower There were only 500 Made. They sold for 39.99 and look like this : and next is the "Myrtle Beach Store" lower In the summer of 2023, PSA opened its first store in the Myrtle Beach area. For this store's Grand Opening they had produced a limited amount of Store Specific lowers, much like the Black friday lowers above. At this time, I believe that there was only 500 made, but that number is not definate. They may have made more, and i'll work on getting those exact numbers.

Using forged 7075-T6 aluminum, these lowers are precision machined and then black anodize hard coated to MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2 specifications. This complete lower will include a Mil-Spec AR15 fire control group with PSA Classic stock and pistol grip. The PSA PA10 allows the same configuration flexibility as enjoyed by the AR15 and is an ideal platform for the .308 cartridge. Gen 3 enhancements at a glance: Lower includes relief cuts for a broader compatibility with .308 BCG’s. Twice staked castle nuts Standardized carbine length buffer tube with short, heavy buffer The Gen3 PA10 receivers are functionally compatible with the Gen1 and Gen2 upper receivers, however, we recommend matching Gen3 lowers to Gen3 uppers for best appearance and performance. There are external cosmetic differences when mixing Gen1 with Gen2 and Gen3 upper and lower receivers that some may not find appealing. The AR10 platform does not enjoy a common design between manufacturers, like the AR15. As a result, there can and will be subtle differences in the parts kits of various manufacturers. Some parts, like the fire control group, are shared with the AR15 platform to preserve the options for upgrading. For best results, we recommend only using PSA PA10 parts with our uppers and lower receivers. We do not recommend using other manufacturers parts in our products.

This PSA lower is made using our automated manufacturing process. Our multi-million-dollar engineering and manufacturing facilities allow us to produce a product of unequaled quality and value. These forged lowers are quality-made, MIL-SPEC designed, and use 7075-T6 Aluminum. The Palmetto State Armory “BRACE-15” Lower will accommodate all AR-15 platform builds and is marked "BRACE-15 MULTI”. The finish is MIL-A-8625, Type III, Class 2 black. Here at Palmetto State Armory, we believe the BATF has clearly overstepped its constitutional authority. The most egregious example of this is the January 31, 2023 pistol brace ruling, and other arbitrary and capricious rules over the years. The best way to reign in the BATF is through the legal system. Palmetto State Armory is a key member of the Federal Regulatory Accountability Coalition (FRAC). We are donating time, money, and resources as a member of FRAC to help spearhead a legal challenge to this rule that we have filed in court today (February 9th, 2023). We believe this lawsuit has a very good chance of stopping the ATF's unconstitutional overreach. If you would like to contribute and be part of this effort, $10 from the purchase of each BRACE-15 lower will be donated to FRAC in support of this lawsuit. This litigation is suspected to cost several million dollars and if you are looking for a way to help, purchasing this lower will help fund this effort. https://www.fracaction.org/ Link to litigation/docket page: https://www.fracaction.org/challenging-atf-brace-rule PSA "BRACE-15" Stripped Lower Receiver Caliber: Multi Serial # Range: “SHOULDER00000” Fire Selector: "2A" (Safe), "OVER REACH" (Fire), "OVERTURN" (Full-Auto) There were a total production run of only ????

FEATURES On November 5, 2017, Stephen Willeford heard gunshots coming from the nearby First Baptist Church. Without hesitation, he grabbed his AR-15 rifle and sprinted barefoot toward the danger. Upon arrival, he confronted the shooter- who was clad in body armor- exchanged gunfire, and ultimately wounded him, which led to the shooter fleeing the scene. Willeford then flagged down a passing motorist, Johnnie Langendorff, and they pursued the shooter together. Willeford's swift actions undoubtedly saved many lives that fateful day. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Willeford has become a symbol of bravery and an advocate for preparedness and responsible gun ownership, and now is a spokesperson for Gun Owners of America (GOA). In honor of Stephen's bravery, and GOA's fight for our 2nd amendment rights, Palmetto State Armory is proud to partner with GOA and release this commemorative lower. $10 Dollars from the sale of each lower will be donated to Gun Owners of America.

What's the story on the milled magwells on the blem PA10 lowers?
I ask because I have a non-blem PA10 lower waiting for a deal on a build up kit but I've heard of others that had issues with Magpul 308 Pmags not fitting so seeing that mill work on the blem lowers gives me some pause about the lower sitting in my safe. Thanks Wes |
|
|
Thank you for your inquiry.
The current blem 308 lowers had an incorrect bevel at the magwell. The issue was corrected after coating, but not re-coated. You should not have an issue with your 308 lowers previously purchased. However, you have a lifetime warranty against defects. The magwell is either correct or not - checking with a Pmag should be simple enough without having to build the upper. In the unlikely event you have an issue, contact CS directly, they will be happy to help. |

my recently purchased pa10 lowers are PF (online) and PA (in store). the pf is multi and the PA is 308.

So is there a way to determine a ballpark born on date? I picked up two AP serialed lowers today.

In light of some new information this answer has gotten infinitely more complex. As of right now, known manufacturers are : LW Schneider FN Manufacturing Aero Precision. Various Other Manufacturers. Thanks for the reply. It seems nicer than the LW one I picked up last week. Comparing them side by side, I'd say it wasn't an LW. I don't know why this seems to be a big secret. PA Prefixed lowers are made by one company that i mentioned in the initial post. The reason for secrecy is not on my end, but rather on their end, along with business associate agreements etc etc. for instance... Say you're company X. Company X produces lower receivers at 149.99 on sale, regular price 199.99. Company Y, produces lowers for 59.99 on sale, 89.99 regular price. Company X and Company Y do no machining in house, but rather have outsourced to a third party that machines Lowers. The Company sells their Machined lowers to all companies that want to sell lowers under their name, but if it were known who made the lowers for Company X, is the same that made the lowers for Company Y, to the same standards, fit, and finish, then why would the consumer be buying Company X's Lowers? In a nutshell, thats why companies cant talk about who makes what for whom and whom sources what for whom. |

Just received on 12/15/16 a PA prefix lower with the tension screw hole. It was a blem that had a purple hew to it till I oiled it now its a nice deep black and matches my aero upper nicely. It also has
"West Columbia" marked (like the PTAC ones sans the PTAC marking) on it instead of just columbia, and the roll mark is different. Also the logo is a little different looking then my LW marked lower. Has the safe and fire markings, which I like better then the pictogram. Overall it looks really nice. The mag well flare is not as wide but my pmags release and drop well. IMHO its just as good, if not better then the LW marked ones I have, plus the bonus of a tension screw and the low shelf (at least I think, its lower then any other I have) for whenever I can afford a Drop in Sear. (not) |

View Quote i agree. celebrating that SC is one of the biggest trainers of our military men and women by coming out with ft.Jax, and Paris Island lowers would be bad *ss. I too have a large issue not buying every variation of lower. It also sadly has proven to not be a wise investment, because no one knows what the special edition lowers are worth and or what they are. So buying them as an investment is unwise. Collection purposes, would be for me alone knowing what i know now. |

What about the PA-15 lower with the serial that starts with HP?
|
|
|
^
Bought 4 blem lowers about a month ago and three were HP and one was LW. The HP marked ones look like the serial and other information was laser engraved and not milled, the working is not as sharp, and at the bottom of the cuts it looks like a tight row of dots. I'm going to assume they were made on a Hewlett-Packard laser printer |

I updated a bunch of things today.
03/14/17 Added Glock 9mm Bolt hold open lowers, edited time frames for AP run lowers. Changed information for AR10 markings. included PA,PF,PI, and other P* markings listings. Added PSA AR10 Gen 2 Lowers, edited the Limited edition coated lowers to enclude ODgreen, and also to correct coating information. I'm thinking of doing, and have a basic framework setup already, for a PSA Barrel differences Thread. As there are so many variations of profile, i'll probably leave that out, and only go for materials, twists, and tiers. Premium CHF Premium Stainless Freedom Stainless Freedom Ptac Unmarked is a basic working thought process. coatings will be included. Any information or help is appreciated greatly. |

I just picked up a new MagPul MOE blem lower and it has an HP s/n. I haven't had a chance to compare it to my PI lower yet. No clue who's making the HP stuff though. Anyone know?

While i understand the reasoning for the barrel thread being unpinned is because of too much incorrect information (the purpose was to get correct information hence the format) is there a reason for unpinning this thread? perhaps PSA will chime in?
|

We appreciate the effort to catalog all of the lowers we have offered, it was a lot of work. However the speculation on sources was neither correct nor official.
This thread has been cleaned up so that we may sticky it again. Please keep the speculation on sources, or other juicy gossip, contained to the gun store counter where it shares time with other tall tales... |

Thanks for the re-sticky. The barrel thread was also a hope that you guys could take that framework, and correct any issues with it, (either by pm to me or by outright editing in the thread) and help the customer base by understanding the differences and the prices etc. just as you have corrected any misleading information here. Neither thread was an effort to spread rumors, or misleading information but rather to get the actual facts posted for folks, because it is downright confusing in may ways for many folks, not just newbs but even those seasoned builders.
Thanks. |

Just read this thread for the first time. Well that was an ass kicker to read that I bought my worthless brother a "You Lie" lower and that it's a collectors item now. Knowing him, he's probably sold it by now if he found out it went up in value. Haven't spoke to him in well over a year, and probably the only time I ever will again is when Mom passes away.
