PSA PA10 questions post here (Page 25 of 27)
|
My dad has been pinching his pennies for a PA10-65 ever since before the Gen3 came was announced. He got a Gen 2 lower, and finally purchased a Gen3 upper. He asked me to install his scope on it for him. I currently have the rifle in my possession. While looking over the rifle, I noticed that something may be mis-aligned. The gas block is almost touching the handguard on 1 side, and has a ton of room on the opposite side. If I apply a tiny bit of force, then the gas block touches the inside of the rail. Is this normal for the PA10 rifles? I'm concerned about it touching while firing and causing accuracy issues. if it's purely cosmetic, then I don't want to mention it to my dad and have him worry about it. I've included a picture below. @palmettostatearmory  Edit: I got another picture/

As stated by the poster above, yes the Geissele 7.62 CH will work. Regarding the extension working with the Magpul PRS, it depends which extension you have. If you have an A2/rifle buffer extension or standard AR carbine extension, yes it will work. Magpul also says a Vltor A5 stock will fit. If you have one of the PSA extended buffer tubes, which are slightly extended to use a standard carbine spring and buffer on 308 ARs, I have no idea. |

@palmettostatearmory Having looked around on the web and on outofbattery it seems to be that the PSA-10 gen2 uppers have a quasi dpms low height. I have the 12.5” pistol PSA-10 with the 10” hand guards but I really want a 12” handguard to nestle up closer to my suppressor. What brand mlok handguards work with the PSA uppers? I could honestly be over thinking this but I’d rather ask before I pull the proverbial trigger on a purchase |

I don't have a list of ones that work exactly with ours. I would take it into a more tactical gun shop and line up a few different brands to see what fits closest. Some of the guys here and in the variants section may have more experience as well. Thank you, Josiah |

Yeah I don’t need flush fit or recessed, I’m looking more for a 12” hand guard that’ll sit about .5” shorter than my current 12.5” barrel. It’s the same idea as my 10.5” 300blk with a 10” HG, my sandman mounts and there’s about .4-.5” of clearance between the two |

@PalmettoStateArmory Got my complete upper, LPK in and Lower at the FFL waiting. First impressions of the upper is that it's big and heavy which I wanted, bench gun. Question on the gen3 adjustable gas block, this is my first ever adjustable gas block so excuse the dumb question. Which way do I screw it in for less/more gas? Is there a manual you all have, even PDF, with this info? Thanks, |

Can anyone tell me what parts are compatible for the TD/pivot pins, bolt catch and mag catch? Doesn’t seem like psa will be selling the upgrade kit and I feel like $200+ shipped is a bit much for the LBK right now. Would be nice to get a stripped or assembled upper as well if at all possible. Thanks |

Gen 2 classic lower with an a2 tube, buffer, and spring. Gen 2 .308 upper. Bolt is leaving four marks in the lower, and experiencing a failure to feed after the initial shot. Try the quarters in the bottom of the tube truck? Edited update; The rifle spring and buffer I’m running are the DPMS ones. Added the two quarters, no dice. Side by side comparison of that spring with an ar-15 rifle spring shows the 15 spring being a little longer, swapped that one out with my ar-10 rifle spring and its cycling as it should now, at least it did for the five rounds I put through it. Run it with the ar-15 spring or will it have adverse effects I’m unaware of? Edit number 2; Tinkering with the extractor, I removed one of the O-rings- it now runs as it should with the DPMS buffer&spring with no quarters in the tube, however the bolt won’t lock back on any empty mag when firing-it will when operating the CH manually |

Thank you, Josiah I am in this same situation as well, I finally assembled all the parts for my PA-10 Gen 2 build, and these are the last parts I need. send me an IM if you like. Thanks! |

It would be awesome to see a complete upper kit minus the barrel but I imagine that won't happen since they will never say what barrels actually should work with their parts. Hopefully I can recoup some of that additional costs by selling the barrel on the EE. |

Well, that's just fantastic.

| Just recently purchased a new Gen 3 lower (5165490563) and 20" upper (516540770) from the gun show and in the process of getting it outfitted and collecting ammo when I can find it a descent price. I will be using a Saker 7.62 suppressor and have questions about the adjustable gas block. I know it is preset for use un-suppressed at the factory and without using up ammo, which direction will go when I need to make adjustments. Does turning it in (to the right) increase or decrease the gas and is there a good starting point other then where it is set now to begin. Thanks in advance. |

Probably wouldn't be allowed, but a collection of what uppers fit what lowers would be nice....... Doesnt look like PSA will have some lower priced uppers in the near future. Lowers are cheap. In searching, looks like not much is going to fit..... |

Do yourself a favor and use the rifle tube and rifle buffer under the PRS. Smoother recoil, especially if you use a superior-quality buffer like the CTS Engineering Aktiv buffer. More than worth the money, I put them on EVERY AR-pattern rifle I build. CTS Buffer He is a small shop, and it takes a few weeks for him to get the buffer built and shipped. He's a great guy, and worth doing business with. |

I have them on four PA-10 guns, three generations of receiver sets. |

Any brand of 80% lowers that work with the Gen 3 uppers? @palmettostatearmory |

I want to buy a PSA Gen3 PA10 20" Rifle Length .308 WIN 1/10 Nitride 15" Lightweight M-lok Upper - With BCG & CH. It was listed as being out of stock. I received an email from you guys - Jan 3 at 5:50 AM Palmetto State Armory BACK IN STOCK PSA Gen3 PA10 20" Rifle Length .308 WIN 1/10 Nitride 15" Lightweight M-lok Upper - With BCG & CH is back in stock! Sorry about the wait, but we've restocked. I went to order it and it's fucking out of stock. What kind of bullshit is this? Do I have to sit on the computer all day clicking on my email waiting for it to come back in stock again? |
