| Been skimming the website for a couple weeks and noticed I don't see PTAC listed anymore. Is PSA killing the name? Replacing it with Freedom?... |
| I picked up a PTAC upper, back when the first "sewer pipe" barrels hit the street. I was very concerned until I received mine. I am completely happy with it. I have over 1500 rounds of Wolf Steel, Gold, XM193, and .223 and have not been able to get it to choke once. It has been 100%. It shoots as well as rifles 3 times as expensive. I have not heard of any barrel issues since the initial roll out, but I realize the trashed barrel bell can not be un-rung. I think the current PTAC M4 kits for $370 are probably the best current bang for the buck. |

Quoted:
Not to sound like a noob, but what is PTAC? I just recently completed a PA10 build and have ordered some stuff from PSA in the past, never heard of PTAC though. Please don't flame the shit out of me now...... Doc p-tac stands for practical tactical, it is palmetto's budget line. Only problem I have had with p-tac was a gas port that was drilled crooked on a mid length upper. The fsb was partially covering the hole so the upper was under gassed, it was a easy fix when I finally figured it out. I Personaly just use p-tac when I'm building a range beater to keep wear and tear off my more expensive stuff, but in 4000 plus rounds I have never had a malfunction with it. My buddy has a p-tac slick side carbine with 2000 plus rounds thru it without a single problem. BIL has only 500 rounds thru his $190 p-tac upper, no malfunctions either and the gun groups realy well at 100 meters. |

Mine looked like new. 600 rounds or so later, it shoots great. |
