    The older a PSA rifle is, the better chance it's quality

    Back when Aero made their receivers and FN barrelled all of their rifles...fantastic products for a fantastic price

    Then PTAC and Freedom lines happened, then PSA kicked their upper manufacturer to the curb and started producing their own

    Aero Precision has never made PSA receivers, pure internet rumors (I'm a contractor for Aero).

    So, lots of opinion. I really want to see one fail a torture test guys. Show me! We've seen them pass a few tests, I want to see a "we bought this rifle and it failed" test.

    There's a lot of conjecture on who makes them, and I don't honestly know. I do know it irritates the hell out of the Aero guys every time someone asks them. Aero is not capable of making a lower that low quality, haha.

    Yeah.
    Hmm, good point. I have a couple of PSA pistol builds (my first ones) that I went cheaper on, pretty sure they aren't the CHF barrels. Haven't shot one yet, but the other one shoots pretty nice and consistent.

    That said, I was bore sighting the new rifle I built with the Faxon barrel and BCM upper with an Aimpoint, and it was almost dead on with no adjustments. Plan to go to the range with it tomorrow and sight it in.

    Apparently the company who produces most of PSA stuff now is DC Machine

    I may or may not have bought one from primary arms for $100. Impulse buy for sure but my daughter will like it when she is old enough to shoot. She is 2:rofl:

    I’ve definitely been eyeing Aero for my next build. Main reason is just so I don’t have to fuck with that trigger guard roll pin again lol

    The Aero M4E1 receivers are pretty dope for ground-up builds. Were I not going with the KE MK3 lower my next build would be an E1 build set.

    Not likely, fully automatic firearms available to the general public must be manufactured before 1986, they’re stupid expensive and typically registered machine guns pop up for sale via forums or gunbroker, sometimes they’re on buds gun shop.
