Has anyone had any experience with the PSD 15? It's an AR 15 with the following specs:

Collapsible 6 position M4 stock
Matched, forged, flat top upper and lower receivers
Mil-spec fire control parts
Removable carry handle with A2 rear sight
M-16 bolt carrier with properly staked gas key
MP (Magnetic Particle) & HPT (High Pressure Tested) bolt
M4 feed ramps
16 inch,1-7 twist, chrome lined, 4150, M4 profile barrel
A2 sight block properly pinned with 2-0 taper pins
A2 flash suppressor
Mil-spec anodized upper and lower finish
Mil-spec parkerized barrel finish
 
I do not have any personal experience with Palmetto rifles however there are well respected by most folks on AR15.com. The specs read like that of a Colt (which is considered by many to be the gold standard). 4150, mpi & pressure tested bolt are considered to be top tier and closer to true mil-spec (most commercial manufacturers do not test bolts or use 4150 steel - Colt, LMT, BCM, Spikes & Noveskie as well as PSA do). The 1/7 will allow shooting of heavier bullets. Components sound fine to me. The rifle should be good to go.
 
I am also eyeing up the Palmetto rifles. IIRC, Noveske uses barrels with thicker chrome lining as well - but not at this price.
An AR is near the top of my wishlist.
