Reliability issues with cycling, chamber spec, a few other random things. Not all together, but enough gremlins to double check. PSA is, IMO, the middle man for manufacturers. Very rarely is an item "shipped same or next day"
My issue with the AR-10 platform.... lack of uniformity. You can't try your friends bcg at the range if it's not the same mfg. Because part A will not fit in gun b' s receiver.
That's why you don't want to go with the AR10 but with the LR-308 platform. Much better reliability and availability of parts.
That's funny. Owner at a shop I frequent said revolvers are the ONLY thing selling. It appears to be slow here, too. But hunting and fishing are in full swing and that's all people live for here. Probably pick up soon, I'm guessing.Quote:

I usually do SGammo for my ammo orders and the wolf gold 1,000 round packs have been out of stock most of the time I check lately. I just set to have an email sent when it comes back in stock so I can see how quick it sells.
Actually, I definitely did the homework, and both my LR308 builds went together perfectly Including the right rail height of the DPMS upper and my handguard of which there are two different heights. I just have two different platforms so I test fitted among the two builds to see the differences. I also have a few spare stripped lowers sitting in a box.Quote:

I couldn't pin together my PSA upper to my LR308 patterned Shadow Ops lower; verified the receiver adjustment screw was backed out all the way (shadow ops had this feature). I would need to clearance the rear takedown lug on the upper for it to seat correctly with the lower. I'm not sure how this would fit on other LR308 patterned lowers.
Edit: I called PSA, and they are not discontinuing the PA-10. However, production is on hold right now for logistical reasons; so, my lowers aren't useless. Back to the original post...I am not interested in trying to make something else work; I would prefer to keep PSA with PSA.
