I noticed that most of the uppers you put out have the Midwest Industries SS rails. Personally, I don't care too much for the SS rails. What other brands/styles of rails do you intend to release with these uppers, and when?

A standard A1 or A2-style Stock has a long enough buffer tube, however, a slightly shorter rifle buffer is required to accomodate the 308 BCG. |

People on a couple different forums are reporting that the takedown pin holes are too low on the current PA10 lowers and that this is going to be corrected on future lowers. Is this correct, and if so, are those of us who purchased current lowers going to be able to get them replaced?

Are the PA-10 and PA-15 carbine buffers interchangeable.
My Pa-15 Upper came with a H2 Buffer which is 3.25 inches long. My Pa-10 Upper came with a H Buffer which is also 3.25 inches long. Was gonna put the H2 buffer in the Pa-10 cause it is way over gassed, ejecting the spent case to the 1 o'clock position 8-10 feet on to the firing range. Thanks. |

I'm going to make an ass of myself and assume these work with 308 Pmags.
Standard height AR15 rear iron sights will work fine, I hope? What profile is the barrel? Government(Skinny under the handguard, fat in front of the FSB) or medium contour? When will you have the Melonite/QPQ/nitride uppers with the A-frame and standard handguards available? Most standard drop-in handguards that use the delta ring will fit, right? You have an ETA on your own handguards? Is the PA 10 compatible with Daniel Defense's 7.62 Lite Rail? What threads do you use for the muzzle device? 1/2x28? And on the uppers with low profile gas blocks, are they taper pinned or do they use set screws?(I've had a regular AR15 with set screws that backed out and turned my rifle into a single-shot. I'd imagine a 308 would cause that issue much more readily) Also, what size gas ports do you use for the mid length and rifle length gas systems? Sorry for the laundry list, and thanks in advance. I'm really hoping these rifles turn out well, 'cuz there's a serious gap in the market for an affordable, dependable 308 AR. |

Sound like reasonable questions. Some of which I will second the request for this knowledge.
Considering how many others are unanswered directly by PSA, good luck. But, there are some here that may be able to answer some of your ?s already. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rb889:

My in-store experience picking up my stripped AR10 lower and LPK.
FARROW: ME: Hi, I'm here to pick up my Lower and LPK. (look at the LPK box, says "AR15 LPK"). ME: This says AR15 LPK. Are they the same parts? I thought there were some different ones for an AR10. CS: We switched out the parts that needed switching, we just left the AR 15 sticker on there. ME: So you're absolutely certain this LPK has the correct parts for the lower? CS: Yeah, I would assume so. I don't know why they left it in an AR15 box. ME: Built lots of 15's, this is my first 10. Standard buffer tube, spring and buffer? CS: Uhhhh, let me check. (leaves and returns). No it uses a different buffer tube. ME: Do you have any in? CS: No, sorry. ME: What about the buffer. Same or different? CS: No idea. FERNANDINA: ME: Hello, I bought an AR10 lower and LPK from you guys. Any idea if it's the same as a 15 buffer tube? CS: Pulls out an AR10 lower, and a 15 buffer tube. (screws it in). Looks like it fits. ME: Somebody at Farrow though told me that the tubes were different. CS: Nope. Looks like it's the right fit. ME: Any chance you guys have any in stock? (After me watching him screw in a standard mil spec 15 tube) CS: Nope. All we have is the lowers ME: Any idea if there's a difference in buffer sizes? CS: Man. Nobody in here really knows anything, and nobody is telling us anything. We really need some training or information. ME: Exit the store for the second time, still with a stripped lower and an LPK kit that says "AR15 lpk" on it. Some training might be in order? |

the LPK comes in a box that says ar15 on it, but has a barcode sticker on the top flap, that says PSA PA10 308 Classic LPK. and per the website the buffer carbine buffer tubes are different. I seem to recall that it was said to be longer? I'm not sure tho. I know they have said a rifle tube is the same, but needs a short then normal rifle buffer

The PA10 LBK comes with a carbine length AR15 buffer tube(mil-spec diameter) that is marked PA10 with the PSA crossed cannons. It is not rifle length.
You need to make sure you have the correct H buffer, not the short one put in the some LBKs(see the other post about buffers). It will take any standard mil-spec sized butt-stock. I have put Magpul; and Vltor on mine with no problem. |

Thank in advance Sorry, I can't IM from this log in, but it is a RRA mount. They have a couple different ones, but you can figure it out from the pictures on their website. This is a fixed 10x Bushnell Elite, so you can't see the FS in the optic. If you use a lower power scope, it will probably show up, but doesn't seem to be in the way. I plan on shaving the gas block or changing to a variable type and then adding a lightweight free float tube. That is why I am here, to see what is going to fit. I am avoiding making any changes until I am sure it runs and is up to par for accuracy. I had the grip in my parts bin, so that is the only thing I changed. edited The new mounts are designed a bit different, and I have one of those too. They are solid gear at an excellent price: http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=385 I didn't see an answer to this, so I measured the barrel threads: 0.625" or 5/8-24. I ordered a Gemtech HVT-QM from Silencer Shop, free shipping. Gem-tech showed out of stock. |

That's what i'd be buying, since i in no way intend to use a standard stock or grip, and definitely using a nicer trigger. I'm sure a lot of other users feel the same way. Definitely not speaking for everyone on this, but i'd also want an 18" lightweight barrel. |
