PSA AR10 build

[SanDiego619]

Have you shot it yet? How does it shoot for you? Does it kick hard? I had one and the recoil made it difficult to set up for the follow-up shot. Built an Aero M5 with rifle length gas and it shoots like my AR15. You may need to consider an adjustable gas block for your mid gas barrel.

Not yet, I just put it together tonight. I can't wait to take it out and give it a try!

A couple of small items to consider adding: BCM charging handle. Get the one with the longer latch (Mod4?). The longer latch makes it easier to reach without bumping your finger on the eyepiece of your scope. The other is Strike Industries flat spring for your recoil buffer. It takes out spring noise in the stock when shooting. With the two combined it will make it smooth to work the action.

Thanks for the advice. The springs on this thing are strong as heck, it feels way more heavy duty than my AR15. It feels like the metal is gonna crack when I close the bolt and I smell a flinty smell. Smells good, like freedom.

I did wonder about the eyepiece and handle interference. I was thinking of moving the scope further towards the muzzle and shortening the stock but a longer handle might be better.

Hello again buddy,

May I bother you with a question or two?

Is this the correct charging handle? How much longer is it?

edit again: I asked about a front mount, but I just realized m-lok is a mounting system. I will get an m-lok sling mount.

Thank you very much

Why not just order a stripped lower? Which has to be sent you a dealer. The dealer will charge you his fee, registration, and sales tax on the value of a stripped lower.
Then order all the other stuff and have it sent to your house. That way you don't pay sales tax on the stuff sent to your house. Plus, you can order just the parts you want, rather than what it comes with. Especially if you want different parts, like an aftermarket trigger.

CA use tax is being collected by some out of state sellers. I believe PSA is one of the ones collecting the tax.

Don't worry about breaking PMAGs. LR308 pattern rifles have some variance between makers and some mags may fit better or worse. Doesn't sound like they drop free though. I'd search around to see if other PA 10 users had the same issue and how they fixed it.

How long have you had them? The springs should be good for many cycles of use, hundreds at least. If there's genuinely an issue with the springs and you haven't fired at least 1000 rounds out of each mag, check with Magpul. But I'd bet they're just fine.

Just a "me too" on pmag LR/SR mags not dropping free on the PSA PA10.
They fit but it takes a bit of extra work to seat and remove. More than I would have expected. Definitely not a standardized design like the AR.

Yeah, thats the one. BCM 7.62 Mod3. You may also need a forward offset scope mount depending on what scope you choose because of its eye relief. If you find the current recoil spring to be too stiff, the flat spring will be much softer.

I am going to try the new PS10 out tomorrow, I am so amped! I had a 1-4x scope laying around so I stuck it on. I'll try to sight it in and have some fun. I don't really care what I shoot, I just want to try it, I've been looking at it for a month! I will take a picture or two.

Thanks for all the help from everyone!

Edit: Makes the AR15 look like a baby!

I got the upper for mine a few weeks ago. I had the lower and scope lying around for a while. Wanted the nitride barrel but its been out of stock for over 6 months, and they lowered the price on the stainless so I went for it. It shoots great.
