      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.

      Also PSA is direct to consumer, to keep costs low. These are not on shelves at the gun store.
      Plus they also sell blemished products at a decent discount, aka “BLEM models”. Might have a scratch or three, but it’s just cosmetic.

      Yeah, I've got a PA-10 blem lower and rifle upper next to me now. Mag-Pull rear sight and BCM extended charging handle. Good trigger straight from PSA. Dependable still not shot enough to say, but the question is ammunition quality. 🤔 That's been something of a problem without spending a fortune on it.

    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.
