Conversation offline about this thread is prompting this post. I will share my opinion that nobody cares about.
I absolutely love psa. i think they're a great company doing great work in America. I have owned some psa rifles. I do not own any today.
I have carried a gun for 20 years. I have only become a serious shooter in the last 10ish years.
*Most* gun owners go to the range twice a year, and shoot a couple hundred rounds. We're all engulfed in odt, but this is a Georgia gun board that skews the reality of most of America. 90%+ of gun owners aren't shooters, even on this board with some pretty extensive collections. If somebody falls into that majority, non shooter, gun owner category, psa is one of the best choices out there. PSA is putting a reliable ar into American homes for $500. A majority of people that own ar's wouldn't if their only option was to buy a $1,000+ rifle. At a price point of a glock, people can swing that purchase financially.
Today, I shoot a lot of "upper tier" companies. But I didn't start out here. Until covid, my wife and I were shooting 20-25k rounds a year. Saturday was our day date, and we were at an outdoor range for a few hours weekly. After buying some "lesser tier" rifles, lights, gear, I would start to break them. Gas tube would defect at 7k rounds. Light failed after 10k rounds. Backpack strap broke. After buying China molle pouches, after buying China lights, after having these fail under hard use, I started stepping up to the "upper tier" companies. But its because I've had to replace some things along the way. I am too poor to have to keep buying the same equipment two or three times.
Everybody likes nice sh*t. There's nothing wrong with that. But zoom out of odt and realize that psa is putting rifles in American homes at a price that's attainable to the average American trying to pay their bills and get by.
I would like to think the people that are running upper tier kit fall into two categories. First category, guys that want the nicest stuff no matter what. Second category, guys who have ended up there by hard use because they've gone through gear that has failed.
I love this country. I think the more Americans that privately own guns is the more people we have on "our side" for legislation down the line. The legislation speech is a whole other topic, lol.
Happy Sunday all

Well said and from a guy I steal verbal material from almost daily.
To your point, if the “lesser tier” started failing after “only” 7,000 rounds, I’d be happy. I only keep 300 rounds loaded and ready to go in case the world goes sideways and S ever does HTF but honestly, I don’t see myself surviving any scenario that would have me go beyond those 300 rounds. Thank goodness for PSA enabling fat, no cardio, high cholesterol, cannon fodder like myself to feel good for doing our part against the invading godless commie horde…or the alien army…even if my part is just “taking one for the team”.
Remember me well, fellas…my name was RoyPSAMercer 😉
I own a Colt M4, and haven't fired it yet. It was the first AR I ever owned. I think I bought it just because I could after moving here from a banned state. I wanted to shoot what I did back in my Army days, so I bought a PSA from a member here cheap, (I know, how did that one sneak by you) put on an old A2 stock, and lined up the iron sights. The first time my wife ever fired any AR was with this gun, and at 100 yards she was hitting a 2" circle without touching the sights, and loves shooting it every time we get to the range. Still, the Colt sits in the safe. PSA may make a cheap gun, but it's probably made for a person like my wife and I that enjoy shooting outdoor ranges every so often, without breaking a bank.
31:00 minute mark.
Are they hinting at a 300blk AK-47?

On one hand it's comforting to know that a lot of American families have an AR-15 that they couldn't afford one otherwise and that is in our favor when it comes to politics. On the other hand those are rifles are that are not being tested and put through some Paces to make sure that the reliability is it up to par. They're putting faith in a product that is not tested and the safety of their family is in question because of that failure to test and to train. I'm thinking a lot of those households that have that quick fix have a false sense of security and just have one to say that they have one or to get in on the market they think is questionable or will be non-existent. Which a questionable reason to buy AR-15 in the first place. We live in a uncertain times and I guess we have to take the positives as they are. An American company putting firearms in American hands Which is far better than the alternative. Of course the market doesn't help them off with anything either with ammunition being the way it was and all that. Range day trips have been put to the side because of either ammunition expense or range fees or both. Basically what I'm saying is there's good and bad in that but that's life.
300blk krink like clone would be freaking awesome.
Every time I talk to my PSA dealer I ask when they're making a double underfolder.
