    Buy PSA and slurge on optics and accessories which allowed me to still have enough to pay for training and ammo. Then moved up to better rifles and still got to keep my optics and accessories.

    • @SuperSlayer76
      @SuperSlayer76 17 дней назад +2

      If you buy a cheaper rifle for your first gun that malfunctions more often it will provide better training - more reps clearing malfunctions. And if parts break on your cheap trainer rifle, that also gives you more experience.

      I had an ACR. Good rifle, but expensive. Replacement parts were hard to find/expensive. I hade the handle break on the barrel nut, called Bushmaster and got the run around and told, "well you can send it in, it will take about three to four weeks to fix..." (Pre Remington days) I said "screw it" ran to Walmart, got some high temp JB weld and epoxied it into place, no issues. Ended up getting rid of it after waiting forever for caliber conversions. It was accurate, a bit heavy, but it was a good rifle. I now have a Tommy Built Tactical TG36E, and can't complain. Thousands of rounds down the tube, zero issues, goes bang everytime I pull the trigger. Sure, the HK and Tommy Built parts are expensive, but I can get them and furniture easier than I could with the ACR. I got rid of my AR's when I got the ACR. Then built another AR and then got rid of that when I got the TG36E.

    PSA has really been hitting it out of the park the last few years and putting out some awesome products that are affordable and reliable for the most part. They have really come a long way, and their AAC ammo line has really impressed me with the price, accuracy, options, and new releases constantly coming out. My favorite AAC loads thus far have been their 5.56 77gr OTM, 75gr BTHP, and their supersonic 300blk options. With the pricing of AAC ammo, especially the more specialty rounds that are better for long range and defense versus FMJ options, I suggest everyone attempt to stock up on them if they prove to do well for you also.

    Damn, PSA was my secret manufacturer to get quality firearms for a fraction of the cost. Oh well, guess I better go buy several more before the prices jump. Good job and love your videos, they are entertaining and informational as well. Kudos, to you and your team.

      Who’s secret? They sell out of everything so fast all the time 😂 way before the JAKL even came out and certainly before GT did any reviews because he has actually done reviews on PSA weapons before this one.

      PSA doesn’t really raise prices. They’re not that profitable of a company as their primary goal is the proliferation of firearms. Honestly not sure how much longer they’re gonna stick around. Hopefully a whole, but common sense says otherwise.

    Thank you! Awesome review. I absolutely LOVE your normal reviews! no freezing my guns, no video game stuff, just badass no BS Reviews. Also I think that its ABSOLUTLY....TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE, invaluable for those that have not experience forward military training to watch your "surviving" and "How to be Deadly" Classes.
