Anyone know anything about Palmetto State Armory quality?

Post by shooter »

Been shopping around for an upper receiver to complete my AR 15 "build" and stumbled on Palmetto State Armory. They seem to have most of the sought after aspects on their uppers - chrome lined barrel, 5.56 chrome lined chamber, full auto bolt carrier group, 1:7 twist, etc., but their prices are some of the lowest I have found. I'm just wondering if it's one of those too good to be true things, or if I should quit over thinking it and snatch one up. AR parts and kits seem to be awfully scarce, which is one reason I would like to go ahead and finish my gun before the upcoming election. I am far from an AR expert, which is why I'm asking for your input.

PSA uppers including the barrels are made by Fabrique Nationale (FN) for Palmetto. They are the same quality as they make for Uncle Sam. They are good to go. I own a couple of their uppers myself :)

Like most other things in the AR world, most of the parts are made by the same factory but just have a different name stamped on them.

Thanks for the info, it's exactly what I was looking for. Now as soon as I hear back from Palmetto regarding an email I sent, I think I'm gonna get one.
