Palmetto State Armory 300 Blackout Upper Review

Being a complete upper receiver, a charging handle and bolt carrier group are included. This very simple system will have you chomping at the bit to get out and use it. You get a quality 16-inch barrel with 1-7.5 inch twist and threaded muzzle. The PSA 10.5″ Carbine-Length Pistol is chambered in 5.56mm NATO and is built around a shorter gas-system, M4 barrel extension, and has an A2 flash hider for shooting in low light.

The barrel extension and the heavier 5.56mm bullet gives this carbine incredible range for a carbine and improves the accuracy over extended ranges. Just like every other PSA gun, this one features Magpul M-LOK accessories. The Magpul grip is designed to give the shooter the best possible grip in any environmental condition you will come across. The free-floating rail allows you to customize the carbine with scopes, lights, lasers, and extended grips, without having the accessories absorb the shock of the operation. This model is also built with the KAK Industries Shockwave stock and buffer tube for enhanced stabilization with firing rapidly.

This upper comes without a bolt carrier group or charging handle, much like the Aero. These barrels are compatible with both a carbine buffer, subsonic and high-velocity ammunition. However, BCM cannot guarantee that all ammo types will function in all conditions. The pistol is compact enough to let you mount accessories on that 9-inch rail and use it for the purpose of mid-range accuracy.

The bolt carrier profile is full-auto, whereas the adjustable pistol brace helps with handling. It is perfect for one-handed shooting, while the heavy profile barrel and forged receivers hold it up perfectly for years to come. The PSA 16" .300 Blackout Upper Receiver sports 7075 T6 aluminum material and has an M4-type design. It is complete with a .300 Blackout bolt carrier group, forward assist, handguard, and a barrel. The entire upper is also coated in nitride for added rust and corrosion resistance.

The pistol-length gas block is ideal for the .300 Blackout round as well. I have the exact weapon only the barrel is stainless. Should shoot everything with the pistol length gas system. Test subsonic ammo, and if it cycles that, it will cycle everything . I keep putting it off, but this weapon is made for it like no other. If you have a 5.56 rifle as well, make sure you have a way of distinguishing between mags, some system that stops you from shoving the wrong mag in the wrong gun since they both use the same mags.

Subsonic filled mags for silencer use, and supersonic filled mags for AK performance. From Brownells, you can get it with either an 8.7" or 14.5" 416R stainless steel barrel that guarantees Sub-MOA accuracy with Black Hills Match Grade ammo. Its billet upper receiver and M-Lok handguard are incredibly high quality and look fantastic. When it comes to the barrel, it has superior corrosion resistance because of its nitride finish. Additionally, the PSA 8.5″ is designed to handle supersonic rounds with excellent precision. Also, the bolt carrier group is built out of 158 Carpenter steel.

Lastly, the M-Lok handguard is already equipped for an easy mount of sights and accessories. Build quality on the PSA pistol is extremely well-done. There are no gaps between upper and lower receivers. The 8.5″ barrel is 4150V Chrome Moly Vanadium Steel.

It has a properly staked M16 bolt carrier, and the fit and finish is excellent. The aluminum hand guard is MLOK compatible with short sections of Picatinny on top for sights and or optics . Both forged receivers are quality made using 7075-T6 aluminum and machined to mil-specs. While the lower is marked "MULTI" for caliber, theflat top upper is A3 style receiverwhich includes forward assist and dust cover.

Whereas the shot-peened bolt is made from mil-spec Carpenter 158 steel, the full-auto, M-16 profile bolt carrier is built from 8620 steel, chrome-lined and phosphate-coated. This 300AAC blk AR pistol is the complete package with the best quality components. The patent-pending, free-float handguard with locking tabs, forward hand stop, and an adjustable stabilizing brace add to the functionality. While the adjustable gas block lets you modify the weapon according to the ammunition you are using. It is a complete upper receiver that benefits from Foldar's patented folding upper receiver technology.

It comes complete with a precision barrel, a 'free float' handguard, and a flash-hiding muzzle device. You have 2 top quality, 416R stainless steel barrels to choose from — either 8.7 inches of 14.5 inches. And when used with Black Hills Match Grade ammunition you are guaranteed Sub-MOA accuracy.

The billet upper receiver and M-Lok handguard are of the highest quality. While its sleek design will have heads turning wherever you shoot. The handguards on these Aero uppers come in a variety of lengths to accommodate the attached flash suppressor. You can remove the flash hider and install a muzzle brake or suppressor instead. Additionally, you'll find a gas system that's about the size of a handgun here. The M4E1 uppers also come with Keymod rail systems and are chambered for the.300 Blackout round.

Moreover, the upper comes with a typical M4 feed ramp, which improves carbine and pistol accuracy. Lastly, this is a complete upper receiver, so it does include a charging handle and bolt carrier group. The S&W M&P Whisper is a simple system that's easy to suppress and rearing to go out of the box. My 4 PSA blem upper receivers cost me $39 each and some of them are on the most accurate AR's I own (6.8 SPC, 204 Ruger and 5.56).

The Ruger makes tiny little cloverleafs in 8 shot groups around the very center of the X in the X ring. At least I think all 8 rounds end up there since there's no way to count them except by counting how many you put down range. Perhaps the forged receivers contributed to keeping the costs down on the Wilson Combat AR-15 Protector Pistol. This specific pistol's 7075-T6 buffer tube is fitted with an SB Tactical SBA3 Adjustable pistol brace so it will fit almost shooters of every size. As a standard PSA gun, the PSA 7.5″ Pistol-Length 300 AAC features a full-auto profile bolt carrier group with a shot-peened bolt machined from mil-spec Carpenter No. 158 steel.

The upper and lower receiver are forged 7075-T6 aluminum and coated in matte black class 2 hard coat anodize. It's a fixed low profile gas block and a H3 carbine buffer system, so it's a simpler weapon than the fancier options at the top of the list. The free-floating, carbon steel barrel with nitride finish is topped with a two-position, adjustable gas piston system where the muzzle has a three-prong flash suppressor. The modular MCX Rattler's frame is constructed from 7075 T6 aluminum and uses an enhanced AR-type fire control system and standard USGI-pattern AR-15 magazines. The barrel muzzle is topped with the faux suppressor muzzle device, but unfortunately, this package doesn't include sights. As you would expect in this price range, both receivers are machined from forged aircraft-grade 7075 T6 aluminum.

Rankin Industries 7.5 inch 300 Blackout Upper without BCG. This is an upper that we have assembled with 7075 Upper Receiver, standard charging handle, Anderson Manufacturing 7.5″ Barrel that is 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium with Nitride Finish. This is a complete upper receiver minus the Bolt Carrier Group. The PSA 12″ barrel that is chambered in 6.5 Grendel is my favorite of all the PSA carbines because it offers the best in recoil control, accuracy, and power.

This carbine is the most versatile carbine PSA offers because it can be used as a hunting rifle to replace a traditional bolt-action rifle or be used in competition shooting. The 6.5 Grendel is made with a shorter, but wider casing to accommodate more gun powder for the increase in power. This carbine is longer than the other models to ensure that you can get a better range versus the 5.56 and .300 Blackout. It has a free-floating front rail system to accommodate scopes, optics, lights, lasers, and other attachments without absorbing the shock.

Many people ask why should I buy this carbine over a standard long rifle? My answer would be based on your specific situation and how you want to use it. For example, this is an incredible gun for hunting in dense forests of Virginia where we don't normally take shots longer than 300 yards.

The PSA 8.5" .300 Blackout is a solid upper receiver if you are looking for a compact pistol length option. This upper is ideal for tactical and hunting purposes. It is also much more maneuverable in tight conditions. In addition, the receiver itself is built out of 7075-T6 aluminum and has a hard-coated anodized finish. Thus, it is wear and tear-resistant, as well as being highly durable and lightweight.

As you would expect from pistols of this price range, both the upper and lower receivers are machined from forged aircraft-grade 7075 T6 aluminum. With the gas tube removed, you can unwind the barrel nut freeing the barrel from the upper receiver. You can reuse the gas tube if its in good shape and the right length, and maybe even reuse the gas block as well assuming it works with your barrel and handguard. Oh, and best of all, easily running both supersonic and subsonic in the same rifle with absolutely no change in the gun. In fact, it is this latter capability that 300 BLK owners find most attractive. So the .300 Blackout can drop a deer at 200 yards, or lob 30-cal lead downrange with little more noise than a cycling bolt.

You get forged receivers, which goes some way to explaining the relatively cheap price. A lot of the parts & accessories are top drawer, down to the polished feed ramps. But they're hung off a forged receiver set-up that keeps everything affordable.

This 300blk rifle falls no short of a regular AR-15 except for the fact that it has a pistol-length gas system to precisely suit the caliber. The full-auto M16 profile bolt carrier is the best in its class and offers exceptional performance along with the other quality components. Overall, it's the best 300blk weapon for the price. If you plan on regularly switching between subsonic and supersonic loads. You should get an adjustable gas system or an adjustable bolt carrier group. Ideally, a pistol length gas system works best for this kind of setup, making cycling reliable with sub or supersonic ammo and also with a suppressor.

The nine inch model from BCM is the best 300 blackout upper for people that want a compact weapon. The shorter barrel causes it to lose some accuracy over long distances compared to BCM's other offerings, but it significantly reduces weight and boosts maneuverability in close quarters. Fiocchi often gets a bad reputation from know-it-all gun owners who mistake affordable ammo for quality ammo. However, I wanted to highlight the SubSonic .300 Blackout Hollow-Point Boattail bullet for its incredible accuracy and range. A 220 Grain bullet is relatively heavy for a pistol caliber gun, but this bullet allows you to use this gun at ranges further than any other pistol caliber gun I've ever seen. The MatchKing Hollow-Point ensures the bullet expands immediately upon impact, creating a wide entry wound that will stop any prey you are hunting or any intruder willing to test your security.

The Boattail design is tapered in the brass casing to provide self-loaders an easier opportunity to reload their rounds. Thi design also increases the accuracy and range of the bullet by improving the aerodynamic of the bullet. If your upper receiver has a Picatinny rail on the top, it will be very easy for you to add sights, lasers, or scopes. Many upper receivers do not come with sights installed including complete uppers. So you will need to buy these separately and then add them to your rail.

News people Radial pistol uppers are good to go for what they are designed to do. The only down side would be the barrels are 4140 so I would guess they won't hold up to high round counts. But at their price point I can buy a complete upper for the cost of a barrel from other name brands.

The 16-inch option even comes complete with gas block and gas tube. Brownells isn't going to stick their name on crap either. These barrels are made of 4150V steel and feature a Nitride finish for strength and durability.

A 10-inch barrel on an AR pistol or a short barreled rifle is perfect for the .300 Blackout. The uppers all feature different length handguards, that accommodate the mounted flash suppressor. The barrels are all equipped with a standard A2 muzzle brake that's been proven efficient and effective. It's a Smith and Wesson product, what could really go wrong?

This is as traditional an upper receiver as you'll get in the modern world. This is for a full-sized carbine and comes outfitted with a 16-inch barrel with a 1-7.5 inch twist, and a threaded muzzle. Included is the Yankee Hill Phantom flash suppressor, which is a great touch.

No matter what your style of shooting is, Radical Firearms has you covered. Palmetto State Armory The PSA Classic Freedom pistol is built on a forged AR-15 upper and lower receiver. It has a 7″ Chrome Moly barrel and a KeyMod handguard for accessories.
