Does anyone here have experience with Palmetto State Armory ARs, particularly their PA-10?
I have a PA-15 coming in today, if it's a good platform I'll be purchasing a PA-10. I've had several of their pistols, I'm hoping the quality is comparable.
I have ordered several parts and pieces from PSA over the last few years. Never had a single issue.
It also helps that they are one of the few 2A companies willing to put their $ where their mouth is and get in the ring when it comes to defending the 2A.

I'd consider PSA to overall be high quality for a budget price range. I've worked with a lot of PSA parts and guns, and I've only ever had two issues. One was an out of spec upper receiver and the other was an out of spec disconnector. They replaced them no question asked and didn't even make me send back the defective parts.
I have not had direct contact with their PA-10, so I'd recommend scouring the web for reviews of that particular model.

Between mine and one owned by friends i hunt/ shoot with- which is a sample of 4 or 5, all of the ar-10’s ive seen from psa have been functional, with decent ( 1.5 moa or better) accuracy. Experience with their ar-15 types has all been positive as well.
I recently traded for a Factory built Bear Creek Arsenal/Pallmeto State Armory AR15. It is a very fine shooter.
I've been building with PSA's help for quite some time now, and I've never had an end point failure. They also have some of the very best customer service in the industry. I read an article/interview with the lead armorer for Machine guns Vegas, and they had been using PSA replacement parts on all their M16 variants for several years at that point. It's a very high-volume business, and they were specifically talking about value in comparison to FN parts and barrels.
I really can't think of a better qualified recommendation than a company that burns through 10,000 rnds of FA on individual guns every month. He also admitted that they don't bother to clean their rentals beyond a wipe down and a wet patch run through at the end of the day. That says something right there ....

Break it in on hot 5.56 ammo...223 may jam when rifle is new.
purchased PA-10 upper and lower separate purchases, went together perfectly. only had about 20 reloads though it so far, after adjusting scope last group of 5 could be covered with a quarter at 100 yds. so far very happy with purchase
I've been shooting a PA10 for a few years now. I did change a couple of things when I had the opportunity and it performs quite well. I actually printed a 3/4 inch 5 shot group with it at 200 yards. All the stars lined up that day with a few planets in retrograde or whatever that is cause that's better than I can normally shoot. Heavy to carry when doing spot and stalk hunting but good if you're just going to a stand.
