This video provides an in-depth review of Palmetto State Armory (PSA) AR-15 rifles after extensive testing over three years and 9,000 rounds. The instructor, with significant testing experience, concludes that PSA rifles can be 'just as good' as higher-end options if certain upgrades and maintenance practices are followed, particularly for users who train extensively. Key recommendations include upgrading the bolt carrier group on standard models and prioritizing FN Cold Hammer Forge barrels for durability.
This video tests the Vector Industries bolt for AR-15 platforms, claiming to improve rifle timing and reduce gas system pressure. The presenter, drawing on knowledge from engineers and armorers, conducts a series of tests comparing the Vector bolt to factory bolts in various rifles.

This review of the Palmetto State Armory Gary Gordon-inspired M16A2 Retro Carbine 15 highlights its strengths as a budget-friendly, compact retro-style rifle, particularly suited as a truck gun. The reviewer notes its impressive 2.5 MOA accuracy with cheap ammo and its durable construction, even after extensive use and suppression. A key recommendation is upgrading the stock bolt carrier group due to potential issues with gas keys and rings when suppressed.
