PSA 6.8 deal

I picked one up on a whim because the price was too good to pass up. It shoots CBB/Druid Hill very accurate.

It doesn’t lock the bolt back on an empty mag. PSA’s warrantee should take care of any issue but I haven’t contacted them yet. I want to see if it’s some thing I can take care of first.

Someone posted this on PSA's site in the comments. It may be a fix for you to.
"Great quality. Even better price
It’s my new favorite gun. I started out shooting 110gr vmax out of it and it did pretty well. 6 inch steel target at 400 yards was pretty common. I started to load my own 120 gr SST and initially I ran out of adjustment on the gas block and couldn’t cycle it I guess because of the slower burning powder.. not sure. But I drilled the gas port on the barrel out one size to .095” and it shoots like a dream. Holes are touching at 100 yards and I’ve hit beer cans at 400 a few times. Couldn’t be happier.

I run 2 of em. Primarily xm68 through the one with thermal.
CBB 105 grain MKZ through the one wearing a Swarovski scope. Both suppressed and gas blocks adjusted.

I passed on this twice. A little hung over this morning so I ordered it while the wife was still sleeping. When it gets here I'll just say "I don't recall ordering that."

They just need the gas block adjusted. I have sold quite a few of these over the years and depending on ammo, many of them need adjustment. They have always had adjustable gas block.
FWIW I have been a dealer for PSA for about 10 years. If they have something you want feel free to drop me a PM. I can usually save you a little on it. Not so much on sale items like this but just in general. I only get a break from them on PSA built items so if they have a Smith and Wesson or any other brand, I pay the same price you do.

Way cool, Thanks!

I like the new AGB PSA now uses much better than the old one they used to have. This one was half way through the adjustment before it would start to cycle any ammo. I tried several different factory loads and wide open functions the same with all mags and ammo.

I think the gas port is likely too small, as Robert posted above. I checked the alignment of the port/AGB and it was good. Locking back on the empty mag was the only issue but it functioned well enough for me to kill over 40 hogs in a week!

I loaned the upper to a nephew, he likes it so much it’s proving difficult to get it back. I’ll probably have to buy another one for myself.

Thanks for the post @Yamaraja. Sent that sale link to a couple buddies of mine and one ordered it for a "lonely" lower he had lying around. He's really wanting one of the ARP/Blackstone 16" barrels for it and may replace the PSA eventually, but I told him to shoot the PSA until he gets comfy with the system. Gave him some extra ammo and a few mags I had to zero the scope and get the barrel "broken" in. Will start load workup for him eventually unless he gets a couple hundred rounds of the S&B PTS that shows up on occasion. I'm very interested to see how it shoots. I'm sure I'll just "have to" help him with it at some point.

More 6.8 shooters = more ammo and components...RIGHT???

I've tried that before, does it actually work for you?

It works for me because we have a separate account that my VA disability goes into. Most of it is used for the household but I get to take out what I "need" when I want it..
