I may be wrong but I think that they all are good.
Pretty much
Agree, most everything is functional
Read the thread on AR15 forum from Battlefield Las Vegas
Their guns get shot a lot.
870 and 500 pump actions last about two weeks, to put it in perspective
You can get 20k plus rounds out of a $450 PSA Freedom Rifle
Or 40k out of a Colt LE6920
Or you could just get two Freedom Rifles for the same $$$
all the right stuff stuck on at last = range time ASAP.
that right there is the only reason to spend more then building a psa or buying a psa cost. Bring a psa gun to the dealer and automatically they think some home hack job. Bring a colt or smith to a gunshop and they think they have some kind of Jem. Want to beat them? I picked up 2 bushmaster and 2 ruger bare lowers when a gun shop was going out of business. Build them with a psa lower kit and a psa upper and not one dealer in a 100 will know its not a ruger or bushmaster and truth be told the parts for that psa build probably come from the same production line as the parts ruger, smith, dpms, oly ect uses. PSA doesn't manufacture anything. The buy parts from production companys and sell them. They don't even build uppers, lowers or complete guns. Its all contracted out. There was an article on line somewhere that said that about all the lower and mid line ar15 companys buy there bare lowers and uppers from the same place. Ruger and smith do not make lowers or uppers.
here you go. If your a brand snob and want to impress the idiots at the range you could build yourself a fake noveske for under 500 bucks or a stag for around 400 https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/...manu/1543_1030
I have the Ruger with a red dot and like it. I also have a PSA A-2 lower and upper with 18" bbl and 15" free float mlock forend and scope.. I would pick the Ruger for self defense only because it is lighter, handier and I don't need to reach out more than 300 meters. Both are in 5.56mm and either would do the job.
