308Corb Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm a noob to this forum from Va,Been around guns my entire life though.I own a few Pistols,Shotguns,Bolt action rifle and a Ruger mini 14...I just bought my first AR Style Rifle(PA10)..I know when I say that I bought a PSA upper and lower everyone will most likely cringe lol.But as a father of 2(Soon to be of 3 in August) with a stay at home wife.... I have a budget.Anyways,Before anyone asks...Yes I had issues with mine going into full battery,Cycling rounds etc...I fixed mine by simply swapping out the extraction spring with an AR15 spring.Since then she's worked reliably like a champ so far.I haven't had a chance to really shoot it because I want to get some optics for it but so far id say it's already one of my favorite guns I currently own..Next to my 1968 Voere Cougar Austria 30-06 bolt action.While I'm familiar with guns and have been around a ton of ARs I'm still a noob to the AR platform,Feel free to ask any questions or share knowledge.Thanks

308Corb Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 LoL,Well tbh I get all the OT I want at my job..I work 12hr shifts....3days on,1day off,3days on,3days off 1day on,3days off..then repeat...so essentially one week I work 48hrs then the next is 36hrs..Which ends up to working out to about 14-15 days a month..So I can volunteer on my off days and get all the OT I want pretty much...And since I'm a Maintenance tech I work on most holidays except Thanksgiving and Christmas

shepp Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 I don't think PSA is bad, you got a rifle and it sounds like you got it operational, welcome from Wisconsin! At least it's not a cmmg :D
308Corb Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 I don't think PSA is bad, you got a rifle and it sounds like you got it operational, welcome from Wisconsin! At least it's not a cmmg :D Thanks,Yea I'm satisfied with it now,I researched a ton of different AR companies online and read tons of reviews/forums on them.A good friend of mine has 2 PSA builds(AR15 and a 50 Beowulf) and he loves them and recommended them so I took the chance on PSA.Couldn't beat the price either.Was a little frustrated at the chambering issues but now that it's fixed I'm a happy customer.Not going to do much else to it other than a nice scope at this point.Thanks again for the welcome

.308 Lover Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Welcome from PA. My mother is from Danville, VA, and I have friends in VA (Roanoke). Its a great, beautiful state. I always enjoy visiting there. A lot of the AR style rifles are every bit as (or even more) accurate than a lot of bolt-action rifles. Glad you got one before the politicians make the semi-auto's illegal.
308Corb Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 Another welcome from AZ! Thanks for the welcome
