Just picked this up tonight, its an 18" PA10 mid-length gas system. Appears to be a Gen2 upper, can anyone confirm if it is a Gen2 lower as well? Do these take the regular Magpul middy handguards? How about grip?
Thanks!  IMG_20180823_193552 by _Storz_, on Flickr

Sure looks like a GenII... the markings say "Multi" ... and I believe that was from when the lower was also purposed for the 6.5CM.
Grip wise... the Hoge should fit as well... and the Magpul on there is a MIAD GEN 1.1 Grip Kit – TYPE 2 ... note the TYPE 2 ... that version fills the gap ( up at the curved part ) on PSA PA10's. If... by chance the hand grip is to fat... I have some PSA branded spare ones ( that you could have ) that are much narrower. They are basic black, with grippy surfaces. Not sure about the middie Magpul hand guards... but I would suspect they would work. Is that a rifle length stock ? I am not familiar with that version to know for sure. I suspect it is a "carbine length" buffer tube under it.... if so, be sure to check for all the correct parts... ( Photos help a lot ) PSA has used 2 different "pattern" .308 carbine buffer systems... and the parts do not interchange, so take some photos and measurements so we can be sure you have the correct parts installed. This thread will show the differences and measurements. https://www.ar15.com/forums/industry/PSA-when-did-you-guys-switch-the-buffer-system-length-on-the-PA10-/301-286585/ There are numerous ways to make your PA10 softer shooting and numerous tweaks to help you enjoy it even more. |

It is a gen 2 lower. They have the little "shelf" where the lower mates with the upper. You have about a $650 rifle new.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great information thanks, the box the rifle came in has an Oct 2017 date so I am guessing its the later stuff. Here are a few pics of the bufffer tube and buffer https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1817/42433053560_0ec9fc8369_b.jpgIMG_20180824_125130 by _Storz_, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1871/43523458604_10bb90c827_b.jpgIMG_20180824_125126 by _Storz_, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1851/43523458874_d104cb5c95_b.jpgIMG_20180824_125302 by _Storz_, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1867/42433167940_26babb9a4e_b.jpg2018-08-24_01-07-28 by _Storz_, on Flickr That one is the Armalite .308 carbine pattern system... You would probably find, adding as heavy a buffer as you can, and a Armalite recoil spring or a Tubbs .308 Flatwire spring helps with the recoil impulse. Also... an adj. GB will dramatically change the felt recoil impulse... and give a lot of side benefits. ( granted you'll lose the front sight assm. ... ) Or even an adj Gas key will alter the cyclic speed of the BCG. Easier on you, easier on the brass, easier on the parts, and much easier to stay on target for a follow up shot. |

If you have any issues at all... feel free to IM me or post it here... I have a decent amount of PSA .308 AR experience under my belt.
Anything can be easily altered / improved upon with a PSA ( Not that they are bad... there just isn't any form of Mil-Spec guidelines for .308 AR's... and so, there are various idiosyncrasies ) |

@bfoosh06 thanks for the info! I think over the winter I am going to convert it to a free float system, I'll reach out about parts when I do

Didn't you have a couple different threads regarding PSA 10's going with a write up of all the changes you did to them, improvements etc, different ammo test's even?? I swear I had subscribed to them, but now I can't find any. |

@kris55..
Yes, quite a few, time flies though.. Archived.. BTW... I still love all my PSA PA10 / 65 Gen II's Everyone still comments about how soft they shoot after adding an Adj.
