View Quote You are aware at the start of this thread you said it shouldn’t cost more than $500 for an upper? I said it should be more in line bcm upper costs and you shot that down. You keep saying it’s for going short and quiet. Why are you limiting the rifle? There’s a zillion companies all with their short and quiet 300 blackout. Heck Palmetto already has one. Why not conceive of the platform as an improved ar platform? Improved ergonomics, improved reliability. I don’t see any reasons why the Rifle wouldn’t work as a 14.5. Provided the rail was longer. You also keep ascribing attributes to people which are pretty much untrue. You also keep acting like palmetto currently has some stigma. The reality is their weapons are fantastic. Between my dad and I we’ve owned over ten. I can’t actually remember any of them malfunctioning. Maybe instead of lashing out and sounding stupider every time you could try and listen, learn, and discuss. If nothing else do it for our sakes, we’re all quite wasted due to this new game. |

Hey.. I'm trying to forget about the ACR and Masada stop bring it up...
PSA is going to come out with the JAKL the way they think it should be. Us debating about what configuration we would like to be likely would be irrelevant. However we could have a discussion about what configuration on how we may like it.. but we shouldn't be insulting or name calling. Let us discuss about why you don't agree or agree with what is said. Based on their prototype I doubt they would screw it up.. I do plan to buy it. PSA has made some really great stuff. It's really remarkable to see how much they have grown. |

I'm sure I'm not the only one who told them NOT to do a separate plastic handguard as they mentioned at SHOT, and now it looks like the revised receiver will stay monolithic.

Question for any silencerco hybrid owners, SiCo says the minimum barrel length for blackout is 8” but the PSA JAKL is supposed to be 7.5” Y’all think it’ll be an issue to run my hybrid on there? Probably a rookie question but it’s my first can and I’m not lookin to void my warranty or blow it off the end of the barrel lol |

I understand the JAKL as a complete firearm will be released first. How long will it take to start selling uppers only? I already have a couple of lowers waiting. Will they be a couple of weeks behind or months behind?

So in reviews I believe they’ve said you’ll ruin the barrel if you remove it. What if the threads aren’t concentric? As some have pointed out, this gun is for going short and quiet(even though there’s shorter options around). I’m planning on dropping a suppressor on this thing, but if the threads aren’t concentric that puts a crimp in the plans.

I don’t know, but Brownells just sent me an email saying they’re accepting preorders for the 10.5” 300BLK BRN-180 uppers...
Maybe PSA will follow suit soon |

As we are half way through Q3 and we haven’t heard anything I am betting on an early Q4 release.
Since this will use a lot of similar and even some interchangeable parts as a regular AR and be able to use the same tooling for manufacturing, unlike the MP5, DAGR, etc, I am betting we’ll actually see these on or closer to their projected release date. The only wild card is raw materials which I imagine are hard to come by with all the manufacturers trying to capitalize on the gun buying spike. |

Is everyone else refreshing the page every hour to see about release date news? I thought if I was subscribed I would get notifications.

Something like 7.5" I hope. Edited to add: I REALLY want to get a JAKL upper, but if there is simply not enough real estate on the handguard to mount my accessories on, I'll be forced to take a longer look at the BRN-180. FWIW, the BRN solved this with a cutout in the top of the handguard. Frankly, I like like a number of things about the JAKL better, but a short little rail is just a deal-killer for me. YMMV. |
|
|
Agree that a simple cutout on the side would be the perfect design and I really hope that gets integrated. Almost every AR15 rail manufacturer has a version with this so they work with adjustable gas blocks. I can live with it for the JAKL if I need to over the reciprocating charging handle that the BRN-180 has. I do not like the concept of reciprocating charging handles.

|

I will put a WML and a red dot on for sure.
On something this short I prefer a single point sling with either a QD or a claw for the ability for quick on and off. I leave the sling with it, but not attached. Then I can throw the sling on me if I have time, and hook it uo if/when I need to go hands free. I will put an AAC flash suppressor on so I can run SDN-6 on it, but I don't see actually leaving the can on, as I want it small. As for an angled fore grip / whatever, I will decide once I see how it handles and shoots without one first. I took then off my really short ARs. |
