[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Who has put their PSA rife/upper through its paces?

Posted: 11/18/2013 11:37:16 AM EDT

There are so many threads about how PSA sucks, lets hear some good stuff about their products/ reliability.

I am curious who has really run their PSA rifle or upper hard- carbine classes, long strings of fire etc. (let's keep this limited to PSA rifles, or uppers with PSA brand parts).

If you have kept track of round counts or other info, mention that as well.

Not a real test but I took my 10.5" CHF 5.56 upper to work, slapped it on a full auto lower and my shift and I had a blast. We only blew through one case of ammo (1000 rnds). We spent more of that hour loading mags than shooting.
I then assigned myself that lower, loaded up my Surefire 60 rnd mag, ran out to my dealer and dumped the mag through my AAC762SDN6 with no issues.

As soon as my 10.5" CHF 300BLK upper gets here from PSA, I'm going to do that again. Sadly I only have 200 rnds of 300BLK. I can't get the city to supply the ammo.

I have got just shy of 5000 (4960) rounds through mine.

the first 1K was steel cased Tul-Ammo, then 2K of XM855 the rest have been handloads, and I have yet to have a malfunction of any kind
*knock on wood*

Thats probably not really impressive, but its my first AR and I LOVE IT!

I <3 PSA
~worth the wait~

I had a factory reman ultra crapxx ammo explode in a PSA upper. Cracked the barrel extension but the bolt and carrier and upper held together. It was ruined but I was not fragged in the arms and face. I have owned several PSA rifels. I have never had a problem with any of them. I plan on buying another kit a couple of fridays from now.

Around 8k through my mid length.

Had a long thread on it somewhere round here.

2k through my 16in chf middy - no issues whatsoever

I plan on picking up a 14.7 pinned carbine and middy upper when they come back in stock

Its hard not to go with psa - best prices on quality uppers - bottom line

I got a kit on one of the Daily Deals and put it together. Cleaned the bore and chamber and lubed.

I have run around 700 rounds through with no problems.

So far it has only been Tulammo 223 from Walmart.

Hint I have a Cabelas Credit card and with the points I was able to buy 4 Pmags for free from them.
