I have bought several PSA AR rifle kits because I like to tinker and build them myself. The kits go together really nice with no modification required and I have got really well performing rifles out of them. Also bought one of their lowers to mate with a bear creek 350 legend upper that has worked flawlessly and fit together perfectly which means good adherence to the AR specs. Have a PSA 5.7 Rock I got on a blem sale for $300 that is also great.
If I had a con however, the shipping can be slow to process, like a week or two from order to actually sending it to the FFL. The other gotcha is charging high shipping costs in general even when your shipping it to one of their PSA stores as the FFL.
One con: Their cheapest lines tend to have bolts with short lives. As in malfunctioning at 3,000 rounds. Buy one of their FN barreled AR uppers without BCG, and put in a better one.
From my experience, they’re all upside if you’re on a budget.
I have their 5.7, it’s a decent handgun.
That's a common experience. Thanks for sharing!
