    Default PSA SBR

    Did this PSA back in 2016, one of my first SBR’s, it’s all PSA with a Aero rail.

    Upper is one of their premium FN chf chrome lined 10.5” barrels.

    Lower is complete PSA, Magpul stock and Geissele SSA-E trigger.

    Only issue I had with it was it was way over gassed even with a H3 buffer and extra power buffer spring, removed the FSB and added an adjustable gas block, not a fan of them but it needed something to tame it down. Now has a H2 buffer and standard carbine spring. Tuned it with suppressor and it shoots pretty smooth now.

    Just added a holosun SCRS-RD-MRS optic.



    Today was a good day!

    I used my gemtech halo on my 10.5 SBR, damn near lost my hearing. It's useless on anything under 16"

    No 5.56 is hearing safe, especially on short guns. I have a few 5.56 suppressors and They all sound similar to me.

    Allen Engineering suppressors are the quietest I've seen but they are not cheap the AEM4 and AEM5 are really quiet with 5.56 ammo.

    They*re not bad price wise for a 5.56 suppressor, they*re a ops mount for SPR guns which I don*t have. If I were to do a SPR type gun it*s one I would consider.

    I paid about 900 for mine 15 years ago or more. They must be better than that I hope.
    Mine is fully welded, cant disassemble it.

    They are better but it*s still a 5.56. Paid 600.00 for mine when I bought it. Every 5.56 I know of being made today is fully welded.
