Palmetto State Armory (PSA) has some great bang-for-the-buck firearms and parts.
We’ve hands-on tested almost all of their stuff in both written and video formats.
So let’s get on with it!

AR-15 (5.56)
This is their bread and butter line.
Almost all the parts in their AR-15s are made in-house. And that’s how they make their guns so affordable.
We hands-on test three of their standard AR-15 uppers. Check it out since we go over the best combo of upper and lower.
Our favorite was the 16″ freefloat mid-length version (middle).
The A2 front sight post (top) was a little front-heavy and less accurate. While the .223 Wylde version (bottom) disappointed in the accuracy department.

It’s still one of my favorite uppers and I continue to use it for testing of other stuff.
Plus…we also have a full YouTube review of it now!
What’s your take on PSA-15s?
And one more time…since it’s their most popular product…our Review of PSA AR-15s.
AR-15 Pistols
These are the sub-16″ uppers for use in AR-15 pistol or SBR (short barreled rifle) builds.
We won’t dive into the legalities right here…but you can check them out in our Best AR-15 Pistol Braces article.
My favorite PSA upper was the 10.5″ version since it felt like the best balance between recoil and reliability.
Both lengths were 100% flawless but usually longer gas systems leads to more reliability.

And oh yes…we also have a full YouTube review.
AR-15 (.224 Valkyrie)
The Valkyrie was the “it” cartridge recently for being able to stay supersonic past 1000 yards…but does it stack up?
We put PSA’s .224 Valkyrie upper to the test in our full review.

I think you know the drill…full YouTube as well.
AR-9 (9mm)
Wooo, an affordable PCC (pistol caliber carbine) from PSA.
Pardon my grip fin…but even with it the PX-9 kicked butt.
It’s my go-to in PCC competitions…
And my favorite pick for affordable 9mm AR-15 platform pistol caliber carbines.

AR-10 (6.5 Creedmoor)
Another nice long-range caliber in PSA’s AR-10 platform…
6.5 Creedmoor is supposed to stay supersonic out to 1200 yards…and I got to stretch it out (and get hits) at 1000 yards.

AK-47 (PSAK-47 GF3)

AK-P GF3 (7.62x39mm)
Our latest review is of the AK-P GF3…effectively PSA’s AK pistol in good ole 7.62x39mm.
A nice truck or tractor gun with a super maneuverable 10.5″ barrel and SB Tactical stock that makes it a pistol.

I got a 224 Valkyrie upper from Pro2A with a Ballistic Advantage 18-inch barrel and it was a nail-driver (sub-MOA) with the 1-7 twist ... paired with a PSA AR-15 Lower. My problem was the mags. Got regular jams from 4 different mags until I tried the E-Lander mags ... which load and feed perfectly every time. At least in my setup, the magazine brand REALLY matters.
Why nothing on the 300 Blk out?
