Palmetto AR?

I think im fixing to purchase a Palemetto State Arms AR-15- PSA 16" M4-V
Are they any good?

I'm am also curious - looking at one of their lightweight uppers, $379 complete to put on a Plum Crazy lower for a lightweight carbine. Anyone got experience with the Palmetto State uppers / rifles?

I'll let you know in a week, ordered the $379 upper for $359 last weekend and hopefully it will be here next week. Aslo its going on a plum crazy lower.

Your more than welcome to try it out before you order one.

Thanks! I will definitely take you up on the offer. Please post pix & range report when you receive it and try it out.

I've got a few of their uppers and lowers and have helped friends assemble 3. Zero problems. People with Noveske's don't "ooh and ahhh" over them. But the fit and finish is as good as the Spikes and BCM that I've had.
Anyone in the NW MS area that wants to check one out, let me know.

Almost ready, cant wait. Mags came in this week

I'm thinking about hunting yotes with this
Will the 16" barrel M-4 be affective ?

PSA makes good stuff. The 16" upper will do fine on yotes try to get 1/7 twist if you can it stabilizes the heavier pill better than 1/9 but both twist rates will work. I shoot the 55 gr TSX in my 1/9 upper with great success my 1/7 upper likes the 70 gr TTSX.

this is off there site on the rifle i want



Barrel: 16'', 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel, M4 profile, 5.56 NATO chamber with a 1:7 right-hand twist , hard chrome-lined, high pressure tested and magnetic particle inspected, carbine-length gas port, and M4 feedramps. Barrels are finished off with a taper pinned, f-marked, front sight post with sling swivel, standard handguards, an A2 flash hider, and are phosphate coated to Mil-specs.

Micah I will have mine in a week and have $512 in it and cant wait and its pretty much the same thing. Might have some different parts and mine has the plum crazy lower(got from bunker hill in Lake, ms) and I hunt in Newton and you can try it out .

Cool thanks

My budget is 700 this will be my first so I really don't feel up to building one
So y'all think is a good first ?

It is an excellent choice for your first, second are third for that matter you'll be happy and PSA has very good CS if you happen to have any problems.

I know they say its a ''M4'' will everything interchange with the AR?
like could i change callibers with a upper is that how that works?

Yes, they call it a M4 because of the barrel profile and M203 cut out.

Any update on how the upper ran down range? looking at purchasing one of theirs myself but haven't seen many reviews from trusted sources.
