Thanks for all the information. I rechecked PSA’s website - you are correct. I was looking at the ‘KS-47’ uppers which had the note. They do show availability on one model of a ‘standard‘ upper that I had missed the first time. Looks like several good options exist - choices are always...

I have been using PSA uppers on AR-15 builds. However, when reading the specs on the PSA 7.62x39 uppers there is a note stating that they will not fit on a Mil-spec Ar-15 lower. I am looking for suggestions on a compatible upper in this chambering, or, learning if simple modifications will allow...

Thanks for your input. Brass catcher is on the rifle - I ran a few rounds w/o it but will do a few more to verify the pattern. It is a Banish 30 - I tried it in both the full and compact lengths. Grouping was decent in both configurations - slightly better in ‘full.’ Shooting roughly 1.5 MOA...

I added a Banish suppressor to my stock 20” PSA upper. I am shooting 123 gr. Hornady SST reloaded rounds at 2450 fps. Are there specific changes that need to be made with the suppressor installed? Different buffer configuration/weight or gas-flow adjustments? What indications should I watch for...

New 8 oz. buffer - all is well. Feeds, fires, ejects reliably with no issues. Thanks for the suggestions.

The 8.5 oz. buffer is on the way. Eventual plan is to suppress it - will have to see if there is a way to make the gas amount acceptable. Thanks for the input.

Well - looks like a 2 oz. / 3” buffer is totally inappropriate for this application! Thanks for the input - working on getting this fixed ASAP It is a ‘Glock’ setup - only glitch so far / should be fully functional soon.

I will check mine - thank you.

Ejector is tight - no damage. My line of thought is - bolt is not moving far enough back and catching empty case as it moves forward (case doesn’t have time to clear bolt as it closes). It is a PSA upper / parts kit is generic AR-15 rifle parts.

A 16” 9mm upper on a 80% build lower with a standard AR-15 parts kit. Feeding and firing work great - however, nearly every ejected round ‘stovepipes’ badly. Ammunition is 135 gr. RN / slightly supersonic but haven’t chronographed from this barrel. A). Do I need to change the buffer/spring...

Lots of good information - thank you. It sounds like some trial and error work so I expect to be asking more questions. I am planning to start with a .30 caliber can with the hope of it being usable on more than one gun. The AR’s were my first thought since they are already threaded but I have...

Starting on the path of adding suppressors to my rifles. Since my AR already has a threaded barrel it seemed logical to begin with it. However, it does not have an adjustable gas block and I have not made any alterations to it (PSA build - 5.56 / 1x7) - will a suppressor require significant...

Great job of planning and overcoming the obstacles!

Thanks for all the comments and input. I started loading with IMR4320 first as it seems to be the ‘classic’ powder for this round. I was looking for RL-17 but haven’t gotten any yet. Other ‘usable’ powders I have tried are IMR4064, Varget, Sta-Ball and Superformance. The barrel is 24” and the...

My rebarreled Marlin XL7 (.270 to Shaw .338-06) shows a preference for Speer 225 gr. BTSP bullets regardless of powder or velocity. I was working on new loads with Sta-Ball powder this morning and my ‘LH’ bench shooting gave a decent 4 shot group without actually trying very hard. I normally...

Sunning on a warm day ….

Excellent job - so enjoyable to watch. The hunt was great and the soap making process was fascinating - keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing - great shot!

Nice shot (actually, great shot)! Thanks for sharing the whole story of the hunt and the decisions you had to make.

Great job of persistence! Hard to beat seeing/hearing nature come alive in the morning (I guess the other 50% of it is actually retiring at the same time!). Suppressed is the way to go ...
