Well sort of..... There has been a lot of questions asked who exactly supplies/makes PSA's parts, so I'm listing what I believe is correct. A lot of comparison has been done with known parts markings, machine techniques, and designs. The bolt/carrier and hammer forged barrels have been confirmed by PSA. Although PSA is a parts assembler like almost all of the AR companies including the so called "Top Tiered" group. From the list you'll find high quality manufactures that PSA uses/may have used in the past.

PSA Fredom: uppers (PSA lower end/budget parts) No specs at this time ***New update as of June 05 2016 PSA is making all their own barrels for their kits/rifles except for their CHF which is still made by FN***

The chrome moly barrels are confirmed by PSA to be Wilson Arms. The answer is in their subsection somewhere.
Cliff notes: Someone asked who made them, I said I think it is Wilson Arms, PSA said yes. I remember seeing something about the LPKs too, though, not on Calguns.

Here's the thread about the Wilson barrels: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=500644 I give kudos to PSA for actually stating what parts they use instead of saying "we won't tell you what you are paying for."

We can't/won't disclose who makes our components for us (unless otherwise noted on product description).
With that being said, all of our components are made for us in the U.S. by American workers. Our products come with a lifetime warranty against defects. If you encounter a problem all you need to do is contact our CS dept. and we will take care of the rest.

Correct. When you are trying to build a brand name for yourself, you don't list where parts come from.
With that said, BCM has lots of things made for them (not just buying off the shelf product). C4 |

You know, I wish I had know about PSA before I bought my BCM upper 2 years ago. My BCM upper is awesome but it did cost me. PSA looks to be the same quality as BCM but at a cheaper price.

Cool , I got the PSA FN mid length upper. For my aero lower with PSA lpk. For my build . So I guess I have a complete PSA rifle thanks for the info.
So far Im very happy with my build its functions awesome and I shoot wolf ammo most of the time . And I get trigger happy with my featureless build and standard size mags. And no problem yet. Mine was packed very well. |

I don't think PSA was selling rifles/uppers 2 years ago. I know they weren't when I bought my BCM. At the time BCM was what I considered the best value. Now, IMO, it's PSA, which is why I bought my wife's rifle from them.

I did not do the leg work the LPKs.
I got the information from here: http://m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=71064 But I did confirm that parts of my LPKs do have the boxed S for L.W. Schneider. On page 2 PSA says that they do not rebag someone elses LPK that they assemble it themselves. So maybe it should be noted that the FCG is L.W. Schneider? I did find the part that the the new ALG Geissele triggers have the same boxed S marks. Showing that these are high quality parts... Whoever makes the rest of the parts of the LPK does a good job, they are top notch. |

I have an all PSA rifle. Didn't plan it that way but they were able to deliver when others weren't. Hammer forged 16" midi. I've been really happy with it.

Thanks for everyone input/help in getting things sorted out. Now to start concocting my PSA Kool-Aide which will propel PSA to the top of the "AR Tier" Soon a large horde of loyal following will start to form, who will upon a whim internet bully and lay down a key board smackdown to anyone who favors a different companies product. PSA's new company slogan "Build a top notch quality rig and still have enough munny to shoot the dang thing" ![]()

Re HVAC carrier trane York all have the different mfg labels on components. Ie robertshaw gas valve. Icm control board. Lau blower. Fasco inducer motor. Ge or a.o. smith motor. Really what difference. Does it make? Inquiring minds wanna know? Why hide suppliers? Really? Why is the arms industry special?

Who needs/why is this info posted. If you read the first sentence it clearly states "well sort of" which is safe to assume may or may not be correct. The only vendors are verified are the ones PSA has confirmed. PSA's stance hasn't changed on disclosing their vendors which they have a valid reason. By posting this thread is no disrespect to PSA in anyway and from the reply post I'm confident PSA will have a lot more business generated from it. If at anytime PSA wants me to take down this post I have because it hurts their reputation/sales I'll be more than happy to do so.

I don't see why the post should be taken down. But that is cool that you will if PSA wants it to.
None of this information is new it can all be gleamed from a couple google searches. But it is cool to have it all in one place. So far all their suppliers are top notch, if anything this gives them a good foundation. To build upon their already great reputation. |
