THIS thread is well worth reading.
Certainly looks like he got his moneys worth. 10K of shooting for 400 bucks a PSA.
There are always going to be PSA haters.
Some of them don't miss a PSA thread without slamming on PSA.
But, don't worry, they are those same people that have to right about everything. ( I'd bet they would say your USA made ball ammo is crap as well.. better stop using that ?! )
Frankly, some of those same people hate PSA so much, I quit trusting their opinions.
I don't think they can be trusted to give a fair appraisal of something like the above linked PSA.
Some Members PSA input is well respected by me.
Even if your PSA's have been GTG. .. they want to "set you right".
They say you are wrong... they say you don't know what you need.. every time.
Imagine if you got the same crap said about your car... "its a POS".. you NEED to upgrade...
Not everyone can afford a Mercedes Benz... frankly most of us drive more common, affordable vehicles that suit the need on hand.
But , but Mercedes has more QC... and yet they have recalls.
Both can get the job done... buy what you can afford and enjoy it.
Is PSA the ultimate AR ? Nah... but all mine have been GTG for me. Even after many thousands of rounds per PSA AR ...Keep 'em lubed and they will run.
If a PSA cost 3x as much... would that make those same haters happy ? With 3x the QC ?
I doubt it.
Those same people never mention all the Happy PSA shooters.
I have had one issue with all my PSA's ... a loose A2 flash hider.
If you don't like PSA products, then don't buy them.
Pretty simple.
But there is no denying the positive impact on AR sales.
For the PSA haters... what percentage of PSA AR's are POS with issues straight out of the factory ?
I know PSA produces a crap load of AR's and they still sell a crap load even to this day... so they must be doing something right after all this time.
I realize you can read about the issues... thanks to PSA being straight forth, and have a person willing to help on the various forums ( Something lots of manufacturers lack )
PSA will fix an issue... if they have one.
