Thoughts on PSA PA-15 as a first AR?
I’m looking at picking up my first AR and wanted some feedback before buying.
The one I’m considering is the PSA PA-15 16" Mid-Length 5.56 NATO 1:7 Nitride 13.5" Lightweight M-LOK MOE EPT Rifle w/ MBUS Sight Set. My local dealer has it for $619.99.
I’m new to ARs, so I’m mainly looking for something reliable, affordable, and good enough to train with. I’m not trying to build a Gucci rifle right now. I’d rather spend the extra money on ammo, mags, sling, and range time.
For those who have experience with this specific PSA model:
Is this a solid deal for a first AR?
Anything I should inspect before buying?
Any better options under roughly $750?
Open to recommendations or criticism. Just trying to avoid making a dumb first-rifle purchase.
