Here's a quick video on the unboxing of my brand spanking new Palmetto State Armory M4A1 AR-15. I was super excited to finally get this at My FFL and be able to pick it up. It took the guys at Palmetto 3weeks to completely build this rifle from scratch. That isn't bad at all. The guys at PSA take great pride in their work and give you the best that they can. This rifle has a chrome lined 1:7twist barrel, It is rated for 5.56 and .223Rem. I opted to get the package with all MOE furniture on it rather than getting the standard M4 carbine hand guard, standard grip, standard buttstock, and standard magazine. I think it was money very well spent. Your mileage may vary, but i think it is well worth it to get the upgraded MOE package. I got this rifle from Caleb Poynter at The Gun Buff LLC and I have to say he has extremely good customer service and will handle any and all issues that stem from your order. go check him out at thegunbuff.com and let him know you heard about him on the guns and accessories channel. I will get some range footage as well as me putting on the accessories and how to do each one of them. I suggest that you all go out and pick up a palmetto state armory AR-15 today, mostly because it is the best bang for your buck in the AR-15 world. Thanks for watching the video and I hope to hear from you guys! http://palmettostatearmory.com/ http://thegunbuff.com

Feb 26, 2012 - Sounds good. I went in store a couple of days ago and picked up one of these. Can't wait to shoot it.

Mar 3, 2012 - Good golly! 3 weeks?! Tell me that isnt normal. I ordered my PSA upper 5 days ago...
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Mar 3, 2012 - I dont think that 3 weeks is normal at all. I ordered it at the time that shotshow was going on and their stock was dry lol. I know a guy that ordered his before i got mine and it took him 12 days to get his full rifle.

Mar 6, 2012 - do you know how to mod it to full automatic ?
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Mar 8, 2012 - Thats highly illegal.

Mar 15, 2012 - On the PSA web site they say it will take up to 15 business days. My mid upper just like this one took 12 business days from ordering to delivery. Well worth the short wait.

Mar 31, 2012 - How does your gun shoot? I'm looking to buy my first ar-15 and I as going to get psa brand do you recommend them?
mrgood1cor13 Says:
Apr 1, 2012 - I've watched both of your vid's. Nice work for the first time installing and modifying your first AR. Dont let the D-Bags on here get to you. As long as your satisfied with the quality, it works with the application you need it for and your safe handling it, thats all that matters. I have a STAG myself that I built and decked out, but I think I might build another one for a different purpose and go the more affordable route with PSA. Let us know how she stands up in future range fire.

Apr 1, 2012 - I have taken it out many times thus far. My camera broke which is why i havent got any new videos up lately. So far it hasn't even had 1 malfunction, so i consider it a great purchase. The guys at palmetto state really make a quality product
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Apr 1, 2012 - It shoots like any other ar-15 i have shot. Its not a match grade gun, but i don't shoot at the national level so that doesnt concern me. I would say that this rifle is a great gun and for the price its not bad at all. Its my first AR-15 as well so i think you will do just fine by getting one. I love it like its my baby lol. Like i said to the other comment, I am in the market for a new camera because mine broke :( when i get my new camcorder ill get some range videos up
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Apr 1, 2012 - I wasn't upset about my wait time (looking back on it) I hated the wait period, but as you said it is well worth it
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Apr 1, 2012 - Man i cant believe my youtube channel didnt update with your comment. Its an awesome gun, and i hope you like yours

Apr 6, 2012 - Waiting on my upper receiver. excited. i thought the wait was ridiculous but when you brought up how it's all custom made at the order, made me feel even better. great review!
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Apr 6, 2012 - yea thats what makes it worth it. and its all FN stuff made by palmetto state. Its a great deal and I think you will be super excited
STICKANDTWIST1 Says:
Apr 13, 2012 - You ever shoot at the La Puente Firing Range?
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Apr 13, 2012 - never heard of it. but if you send me a private message maybe we can get together sometime
hendersona49 Says:
Apr 22, 2012 - Great video I was going to buy one last December but the wait was to long. Palmetto is in the same city as I live. They have very good prices on all their stuff and they are going to start producing a 7.62 model soon. :D
theothertoolbox Says:
Apr 22, 2012 - I use a LOT of PSA stuff. Their armorer is FANTASTIC. I live in Columbia and have built 3 rifles using PSA uppers and build my own lowers using the lower rcvrs they have manufactured for them. It is cool to have Columbia, SC stamped on all my lowers. LOL Hope you have fun with yours.
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Apr 24, 2012 - i heard that, I was actually looking at a 300blackout model for a while now and i think it will be my next purchase. because its just so badass lol
GunsAndAccessories Says:
Apr 24, 2012 - yea i can see how that would be awesome, and i love mine as im sure you love yours!
Adrianrulz Says:
May 8, 2012 - Just picked one up today, sans all the magpul stuff with the exception of a magpul rear sight. I plan to trick it out with more magpul stuff ASAP.
GunsAndAccessories Says:
May 9, 2012 - great rifle, but the company pissed me off. so fuck them lol. im gonna get a video up soon of my new toy that i bought when i sold this AR
Adrianrulz Says:
May 9, 2012 - I have a short barreled M4 that's being built and processed (turnaround about 3 months plus paperwork). I bought this one from a local shop as a backup. I've yet to shoot it, so I'll get back to you.
GunsAndAccessories Says:
May 11, 2012 - Its awesome, the guys on the floor did a great job with it. I had absolutely no issues with mine whatsoever. It will impress you
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)
ASCBLUEYE Says:
Feb 25, 2012 - what is the stamp on the upper reciever behind the brass deflector in front or directly above the forward assist? is it a keyhole shape, a box, a letter? that will tell you who actually cast and machined the upper. The barrels are FN contract overruns which is cool because you get a hammer forged 1-7 twist barrel and chrome lined for a good deal. when you take the bolt out of the carrier is it stamped HP/MPT? Thanks bro
