Came here looking for some info on my new to me pa10 in 308 Winchester....hope to learn a bit more .

Not new to ar's in general just new to the ar10

Welcome to the forum. 

When you are reading, make sure to look for PA10 specific information.  There are several different 308AR formats and they are not all interchangeable.

from what I can figure out this is a gen 1. I seen the pics that stated measurement just above charging handle is 3/16 on gen 1 and 1/8 on gen 2....mine measures 3/16

That sounds exactly like DPMS High and Low profile upper dimensions - but that was never determined for any PSA rifles.  Please cite your source for that, as a determination, on PSA rifles in original pattern, versus PSA Gen 2...   Thank you, in advance...

yeah I read that wrong....sorry...still trying to figure it out

[98Z5V]

No worries - just trying to see if there is something out there to determine if you have a PSA Boat Anchor (Gen 1) or something you can work with and get to run, with some work (Gen 2)...

only thing I can find on the net is this simple cosmetic changes. The top pic is supposedly the gen1 and the bottom pic is supposedly a gen 2. If this is correct then mine is a gen 2''''''

I am still learning this rifle....may have stayed away if I knew PSA had issues but both my previous PSA 223's were flawless. So far this rifle has ran 80 rounds with zero issues and was unfired when I purchased it

Here are pics of my gen 2.  does this help?

[painterman]

yes it does....from your pics and the pics I found I am saying this is a gen 2. New computer so I haven't figured out the copy and paste yet. Either that or or this site will not let me  paste the http address I copied to paste. That's why I copied the pics and posted them here.

So far this has ran great. A little heavy on the kick but half the recoil of any 308 bolt I have ever had. Thanks for the help as like I said I am new to the PA 10 and the 308 ar.
