PSA PA-10 .308

PapaBear · Aug 18, 2014

Anybody snag any lowers or parts from PSA on Friday when they released the new PA-10 parts?

I was lucky enough to snag 2, and got a chance to talk to my sales rep for them about them. She says the availability of them will be low for a long time, and I could not get them as a dealer, so since my dad and I wanted them bad enough to buy at retail.

Any advice on uppers / barrel parts?

I got the email on Friday and drove up from Charleston on Saturday to pick one up. I'm glad I did too because I don't see the lowers online anymore. This will also be my first 308 build so I'm in the research stage. It's kind of confusing with all the different patterns and manufacturers not being compatible with each other.

Are the PSA's DPMS conpatible? Seems DPMS has come out on top as far as popularity goes in the .308 AR market.

Does not say, but I would assume so. I will email my rep and ask. A quick Google search reveals that they are DMPS patterned and will accept DPMS patterned parts.

.....but the following is from their site;

"Palmetto State Armory is proud to announce our new .308 stripped lower receiver.

Made using the most advanced aerospace manufacturing technology to produce the industry's finest forged .308 lowers, our receivers are machined on an automated multi-million dollar manufacturing system which enables us to produce a product of unequaled quality and value.

These forged lowers are quality made using 7075-T6 aluminum. The finish is black hardcoat anodize per MIL-8625 Type 3 Class 2. Additionally the receivers include an integrated trigger guard, and are designed to use AR15 fire control groups so your favorite AR class trigger can be used. These are developed for use with SR-25 pattern magazines - which are commonly available in metal or polymer."

Thanks for the link. I was getting confused with all the manufacturers and different patterns when it comes to the ar10 build. Now I'm researching the best buffer and spring combo with the magpul UBR stock.

For them to be so proud to announce it, they don't have anything (but mags-a-plenty) in the Greenville store, and very little on their main Web site.

No complete uppers, no barrels, no bolts.
