    I liked the British 5.56 round. It worked good in the gun. The penetrater is a little smaller and the velociety is a little lest but it is good ammo and we had a boatload of it. One down side it is a little dirtier.

    I have used the Mk 262(Black hills) round which is a BTHP in 77 gr with good results but mostly in 14.5" M4 and a 20" DM rifle. Latter the army put out a bulletin against using the Brit ammo but me nor my team mates ever had a problem with it.


    I think with this gun I will run Green tip ammo. Its not very accurate but it hits hard. If I had a choice I would likely use a 60-65 gr soft tip at 2650fps. I will do some experimenting and see If I can achieve that.

    No one here has had quality issues with PSA equipment?

    Nope. Bought a few "blem" uppers from them and I have never figured out what the blem was.


    Can't speak to long term hard use, but my PSA "junk" has run out of the box no problems. I've assembled off ten blemish lowers, PA10, Dissipator upper and complete AR9. MAS Defense is another sight to get excellent uppers.

    Same experience. I was shooting "junk" steel case 55 gr communist ammo through the above pistol in August.

    It still needs a significant front sight adjustment as rounds were going low on my 25yd range. Using a nail is kind of a pita, need to get a front sight tool.



    I bought Radical Arms pistol upper that was stovepiping right out of the box. That's been retired.

    What makes those a pistol instead of a short barreled rifle?
    They have no shoulder stock, they have an "arm brace".

    I had an M4 style carbine I bought from PSA. That has had zero problems to date. I have a 5.56 pistol that I bought from PSA. It required installation of an adjustable gas block to get it to function correctly. Has been great since.

    Improper use of an arm brace does not constitute a re-design of a pistol brace according to the ATF. So just because one CAN improperly shoulder an arm brace does not mean it it designed to be shouldered.

    I actually run an A2 birdcage on my MK18...no problems at all, my 11.5" has a BRT linear comp, my .300 has a KAK Flashcan and my Troy has the 4" moderator.

    This is the BRT...
