Cbabin03 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Posted April 3, 2018 Does anyone have confirmation on running the D. Wilson BCG in the PSA PA10 upper reicever? Just looking to confirm before a purchase. Still waiting on the PA10 upper to come in stock. But I did already buy the complete lower, so I would like to match the upper. And thinking of getting a DPMS Ballistic Advantage .308 barrel to put on it. And go with a low profile Midwest industries 15” hand guard.

Thought they quit public sales?
Cbabin03 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Posted April 3, 2018 Oh maybe they did? I have no idea. I was just on there sight looking at them. What other BCG should I run inside the PSA PA10 Gen 2 upper receiver then?
Cbabin03 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Posted April 3, 2018 What is the experience with running a non PSA barrel also with the PSA PA 10 receiver? I’m looking at either a ballistic advantage or combat Wilson possibly.
Cbabin03 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Posted April 3, 2018 My upper and lower is the matching set, I would just like to go with a different barrel instead of PSA. Also same with BCG and handgaurd.

He did add muzzle device pinning and gas block installation services but no more BCG's that I could find, too bad as I would buy more..........
Cbabin03 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Posted April 3, 2018 Yeah I emailed him. And they don’t offer them anymore. However he did give me the number to a guy who will have them here soon available he said.
98Z5V Posted April 3, 2018 Report Posted April 3, 2018 Pass that info along - we've been looking for those for 6 months now.

Spdcrazy Posted April 4, 2018 Report Posted April 4, 2018 not to thread jack here, but i'm new to the pa10 and curious what makes the Wilson so desirable? also, good timing on your reply to that email. (5:56) haha

(5:56) haha Quality of manufacture at a price point that wasn't anywhere near gouging. Responsiveness of the owner, as well. Dave Wilson is a great guy. Smart as hell, too.

unforgiven Posted April 4, 2018 Report Posted April 4, 2018 So that's why we haven't heard from him. What about SS brother ?
Cbabin03 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Posted April 4, 2018 Is the forward assist really needed in the AR10. Like my complete uppers r obv will have it. But does it need to function? Bc I hear a lot of the time it doesn’t even touch the standard BCG for DPMS? Just was curious.
jtallen83 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Posted April 4, 2018 I have a plug in the FA hole in my Matrix 308 build, never had an issue. Stupid thing was the plug cost me almost as much as a FA!
Cbabin03 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Posted April 4, 2018 Sounds good to me. Haha. Just was curious. Because I hear a lot of times they don’t even touch the BCG to assist.
98Z5V Posted April 4, 2018 Report Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) They hit the stepdown of the BCG, and can make the final "close" to seat the bolt. Whoever told you that they don't even touch the BCG is incorrect. The spring is so strong in the 308s, though - if it won't seat the bolt, something is wrong. Using a FA seat the bolt on a round that won't chamber would probably compound whatever issue it's having. Edited April 4, 2018 by 98Z5V
