10.5" Palmetto AR pistol
They got me again. $339 shipped for the complete upper, SBa3 brace and LPK. I supplied the Spikes lower. $439 for a complete AR pistol is quite nice.

They got me for the 10.5" Shockwave version for $259 shipped with upper and LPK. I already had a stripped PSA lower and mags so all I had to buy was the MagPul BUIS. Trying to decide on an optic now. For everything in the picture including the mag and rear sight I am at just under $430. That includes transfer fees (for the lower), shipping and tax.

It isn't a great picture but I just finished it tonight so I have yet to take it outside for some good shots Wink

I got the same one. I went with a carry handle sight for mine. I wanted something rugged for a truck gun.

Yeah I kinda want a carry handle too because I think it will look sweet. I think I am going to start with a red dot and then transfer that and the Magpul BUIS to my next AR and finish this with a carry handle.

That is a nice looking build...

I bought one of the PSA 10.5" full float uppers last year and used it on an AERO lower with a PSA lower parts kit using a Toms Tactical nickel Teflon trigger (with a LAW folder/Shockwave Blade)...after well over 3000 rounds of steel case Wolf and various brass cased stuff, it has been perfect (it's the favorite AR at the family shoots Smile)...I have never had an issue with PSA (especially for the quality, value and price point) Smile

My PSA AR pistol ran about the same and has yet to see any hiccups.

Add mine to the pile. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet though.

Yeah me too. PSA has been out of stock on them for a bit now. I’m waiting for one to come back in stock.

Out of curiosity what ammo are you guys using? I’ve got a bunch of XM193 but I’ve never had a 1:7 twist 10.5” AR before.

I love mine. I just added the Anti-rotational pins, Extended magazine release, and BAD Lever.

Anyone reading this who may be thinking about a 10.5 AR pistol...PSA is running a crazy deal right now. For 450 with free shipping you get a complete upper, LPK, 10 Pmags, a MBUS and a Vortex Sparc optic.

If I didn't just buy mine I would be all over this.

Love my 10.5” PSA AR pistol!


A guy at the range today had a 300 blackout version as well (I believe with the 8 or 9 inch barrel) and it was a blast to shoot too! Great fit and finish and it ran perfectly just like my 556 one.

Shot my 10.5 PSA today for the first time. KAK blade was fine, no issues. Very impressed, ran like a champ and accurate with irons only. Man is it loud and you have to love the fireball.

Too bad they only do a 10.5. That has to be over gassed like a mother effer. They should have came out with a proper 11.5 that has much better dwell time, so that you don't have to have such a huge gas port.

BCM refused to make a 10.5 for years as they said an 11.5 would be much more reliable due to the dwell time.

Every so often Palmetto does a run with 11.5" upper.

Last time they were $179.00 shipped. Could not turn that down.

Adjustable Gas BCG

Pick one of these up, flip the new BCG that came with the kit and pay about $65 net for this and solve any overgas problems.

Have you ever tried one of these?
