Does anyone know the bore height in inches for the gen 3 PA10? I have this kit: https://palmettostatearmory.com/blem-psa-gen3-pa10-18-mid-length-308-win-1-10-stainless-steel-15-lightweight-m-lok-acs-l-2-stage-rifle-kit2.html My scope/ring combo is 1.59" (https://palmettostatearmory.com/vortex-sonora-4-12x44-riflescope-w-dead-hold-bdc-reticle-vortex-cantilever-ring-mount-for-1-tube-with-2-offset.html) but I can't find any documentation of the distance from bore to rail on the upper. |

If you have them just use a ruler from center of bore to center of windage knob and you will have your height above bore. This is a bolt gun but same way to do it.

The only reason I'm even considering building one is because you all don't have any offered at the moment. As you can see (or send up the chain) in this thread, 16" .308 AR10 are quite popular. |

| Got a Gen 2 PA10 .308 with the 18” nitride barrel and accuracy is somewhat abysmal. I’ve only been able to get decent accuracy with Magtech 168gr Sniper, and of course they don’t appear to be making that anymore. Thinking of rebarreling with a Ballistic Advantage 16” Hanson or Govt profile barrel. Anyone do the same or have any experience with either those BA barrels? |

Mine has a 12.5" BA barrel and it is plenty accurate. |

| My firearms ADD is kicking in already and I am thinking about a barrel swap. Currently I have a Gen 3 in 308. What barrels in 243 or 6.5 CR would fit? |
If you think I am sexy now just wait until you find out I have full medical and dental.

| Is there a way to identify a Gen 3 lower by serial number alone? Is there a cutoff point between Gen 2 and Gen 3s as far as the serial numbers? And what are identifying characteristics of a Gen 3 upper? I need to know what to look for if a seller claims to have a Gen 3 but doesn't have any proof, ie factory paperwork, etc. Thanks. |

I need to know what to look for if a seller claims to have a Gen 3 but doesn't have any proof, ie factory paperwork, etc. Thanks. @2336 My model numbers are “G3-10” so I’d say that’s a solid indicator on the lowers at least. |

There have been couple of PA10s, and PA10 lowers for sale locally and I couldn't tell from the photos whether they're Gen3 or not, and haven't had a chance to check them in person. At least I know what to look for now. Thanks! |

I have a Windham Weaponry AR 10 lower. Will this upper fit on it? https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-gen3-pa10-20-rifle-length-308-win-1-10-stainless-steel-15-lightweight-m-lok-upper-with-bcg-ch8.html @palmettostatearmory |

PA10 - Cycling issue. Hey guys - have a 16" gen 3 upper paired with the same PSA lower (just bought them separately) https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-pa10-16-mid-length-308-win-1-10-nitride-15-lightweight-m-lok-upper-with-bcg-ch.html First time I took it out - it ran suppressed and unsupressed fine. I did not have the long allen wrench with me to adjust the gas but it was hitting "hard" but running fine. When I got home, went to adjust the gas block and realized the detent wasnt working amd it was set at "fully closed" from the factory. Took the handguard off.... fixed the gas block (the small bearing had fallen into the gas block) . Verified the ~24 clicks. Set it at 10 out from closed and hit the range again. Now it doesn't cycle at all. Operating like a bolt action. Turned the gas all the way closed... same. Out more...the same. Plus when pulling the charging handle to eject the spent case... its "tight" and takes a good pull. Though it was dry.... so disassembled the bolt... cleaned and lubed it a ton and cleaned the barrel. Hit the range again. Same thing. Only operates like a bolt action. Ammo tried PPU ZQI And old Aussue surplus from the FAL days Thoughts? |

Any chance you guys will release a PA-10 compatible 12" or 15" quad rail? I am building a PA-10 with a 20" barrel on your receivers and I really want to do a quad rail as weight is something I want on this rifle plus the looks. Any chance you would do a small run of 15" quad rails for the PA-10? Another question... Will the PSA BCG for the 6.5 BCG also work with the .308 I know they have the same case head but can I use it in a .308 because I might later swap barrels to 6.5CM down the road? @PalmettoStateArmory |
Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
