With enhanced durability and improved function, the new and improved PSA PA10 Gen3 is here. The Gen3 model offers a black nitride stainless gas tube to better resist high heat and corrosion while maintaining a glossy black finish. All Gen3 PA10 models come with a dimpled barrel for ease of gas block replacement if you choose to do so. We have also included a newly designed click switch adjustable gas block so you can specifically tune it to your load.
The Palmetto State Armory PA10 Gen3 features a forged receiver set that has been designed with a relief cut geometry to allow the use of a wider variety of aftermarket bolt carrier groups. A carbine-length buffer tube with a short, heavy buffer coupled with a standard PA10 buffer spring. All Gen3 PA10 from Palmetto State Armory come equipped with a Toolcraft BCG, which ensures thousands and thousands of rounds will feed through the upper.
Barrel: The dimpled, 16" nitride-finished 4150V chrome moly vanadium barrel chamber in 308 WIN, 1/10 twist, mid-length gas system upper is paired with a Palmetto State Armory 15" M-Lok free-float rail, low profile adjustable click detent gas block, and an A2-style muzzle device. The gas system is enhanced with a nitrided gas tube in order to better resist high heat and corrosion.
Upper: Precision machined from forged 7075-T6 aluminum, then Black anodize hard coated to MIL-8625 Type 3 class 2. With enhanced dual retention anti-slip and anti-rotating handguards.
Bolt Carrier Group: Toolcraft PA10 BCG is designed with 9310 steel bolt assembly, nitride treated for durability. 8620 carrier, with a nitride-treated gas key properly staked with grade 8 fasteners. A charging handle is also included.
The Gen3 PA10 upper receivers are functionally and aesthetically compatible with Gen2 and Gen3 PA-10 Lower receivers. However, there are external cosmetic differences when mixing Gen1 with Gen2 and Gen3 upper and lower receivers that some may not find appealing.
The AR10 platform does not enjoy a common design between manufacturers, like the AR15. As a result, there can and will be subtle differences in the parts kits of various manufacturers. Some parts, like the fire control group, are shared with the AR15 platform to preserve the options for upgrading. For best results, we recommend only using PSA PA10 parts with our uppers and lower receivers. We do not recommend using other manufacturers' parts in our products.
