Range time with Palmetto State AR15A4

[tjtM38]

I bought this rifle piecemeal at Palmetto State Armory as the components went on sale about a year ago. First I bought a nickel/boron BCG with charging handle, then I bought the PSA multi-cal A2 lower, then I bought the 20" upper assembly with the detachable carry handle/rear sight. This all occurred over a 4-month period. It's all PSA, so not an expensive rifle, especially buying the components as they went on sale or clearance.

Originally, I sighted the rifle in by the M16A4 book using the standard 25/300 meter zeroing target. However, it really didn't suit my 100 yard casual shooting (plinking), so today I decided to adjust the zero where it would only shoot slightly high at 100 yards. I finally got it dialed in and it only took 3 clicks down on the front sight and one click right on the windage. I think this will make it more dead on at the ranges I shoot which is normally 100 and 200 yards. I find the iron sight a challenge with my aging eyes, but with a little help from my Walmart bifocals and a good rest, my last 20 rounds were hitting about dead center. Compared to shooting the M4 carbine, this thing feels like shooting a .22 rimfire. Real pleasant and easy to shoot. The ammo was Federal Lake City 62 grain green tip.

Looks to shoot "Minute of Man" with no problem.

I guess that's what the platform was designed for. Yeah, it ain't no tack driver, but it is bound to hit center of mass if you do your part with the hold and the trigger.

Nice shooting. I have several different brands of AR's including Colt and BCM but I really do like my Palmetto State Armory rifles.

I like the PSA stuff and decently priced. I built an AR10 and couldn't be happier. Although I did go a little crazy with mods

Nice rifle; you really have that thing tricked out! The only thing I have done to the AR15A4 rifle is a minor upgrade to a BCM Gunfighter polished milspec trgger assembly. It's much smoother now.

I changed out my trigger group too. I upgraded to a Velocity 3 lb. curved trigger.

I use the Kaw Valley fire control groups springs in all my builds, best price at Joebobs Outfitters.
