PA-10 Gen 2 Upper question

[Dport257]

I'm trying to find a complete 20" Gen2 upper. However, if I find a stripped pa10 upper, how hard would it be to source a bcg, barrel, handguard and the rest? PSA's sight is put of everything. These stupid times are hindering my rifle build! Lol.

Is the PA10 bcg proprietary?

Thanks in advance.

Or should I scrap the idea, sell the Gen 2 fixed stock lower and build a different brand? Aero?

Seems Aero parts are more plentiful and a lot more choices.

I'm sure there are good arguments both ways but personally I would rid myself of the PA stuff while demand and return are high and go Aero.

Jtallen83, that's the way I'm leaning seems if I need parts in the future Aero would be the way to go.

You just don't hear much for negatives with Aero, I really like using them. I don't know the number but I would bet they have a pretty heathy percentage of the large frame stripped receiver market.

I agree with what I've seen and read they appear solid. Especially for my budget.

The PSA bcg,'s are dpms pattern. Ballistic Advantage barrel fit in my PSA upper just fine. Rail was dpms high from local gun store. Yes Aero is easier to find stuff that works. The PSA upper will probably only fit a PSA lower.

I've seen this myself, and can confirm it.  I could not get a PSA upper to close and pin to an Aero M5 lower.
