This video from GUNBROS, featuring an expert speaker, explains the common observation of primer indentations on unfired AR-15 cartridges. It clarifies that these marks are a normal result of the free-floating firing pin's inertia during chambering and are generally not a safety concern. The expert also touches on the rare risk of slam fires if the firing pin becomes stuck.
This guide details the disassembly and internal inspection of the Palmetto State Armory PSAK47 Gen 2 rifle, as demonstrated by an expert from AK Operators Union.

The inspection highlights manufacturing quality, potential areas for improvement like a slightly loose safety lever, and confirms the rifle's construction aligns with established AKM designs.
