I posted this over in the PSA Industry section and was told to try it over in the ""AR"" Section, then more specifically here.
So,
PSA AR-V 7" 9mm PCC .
I had been wanting an MP5ish clone and was looking at an AP5 from Century Arms.
Not 100% sold on it and still looking, last weekend I stumbled on the PSA ARV 7"....
Now sure how I have never heard of this before this weekend.
I tried doing some searching and did find a bit about it as far as what it is, mostly off the PSA's page.
Searching the net I saw some complaints about things breaking and feed issues, but those were all a good bit ago, also saw a few posts saying its going to be discontinued? Of course, that was not anything official and hopefully BS rumors.
Seen a few complaints about recoil (its a 9mm) and the Optic height being to low to get a good sight pic vs some other guns they were vs'ing....
**Edited to add** Also, saw some complaints on the Magpul Scorpion mags. As far as Magpul mag, I've only used the AR and Glock mags, zero issues with either of those...
***I'd love to pick one of these up and put my Octane 45HD w 9mm End Cap on it and pretty much leave it.
I'd be shooting mostly 147 gr, but some 115s and 124s as they are much easier to come by...
Using it mostly for steel plates in my back yard (out to 100) and some small matches at the local gun club if runs well enough and I can trust it..
I have a bunch of Scorpion Evo mags and I heard Magpul makes mags for this and the Scorpion.
If I get this and like it, I'm gonna sell off the Scorpion to help recoup the cost of the ARV.
The only Mods I'd do immediately are a RDS and Can, Maybe a trigger if I felt it needed it after break in, unless this thread tells me I need other wise...
So my questions are:
1. Is this still a viable platform, meaning not End of Lifed or heading that way soon?
2. Who has one? How are they running now?
3. What upgrades does everyone else feel it need out of the box if any?
Mods if there is a better place to move this to, feel free, just let me know... :)
