This review compares two Palmetto State Armory AR-15s: the M4 EPT Freedom Rifle ($499) and a 16-inch mid-length free-float model ($659). Both rifles performed flawlessly over 300 rounds, demonstrating consistent ejection and reliable bolt lock-back. Accuracy varied, with the Freedom Rifle achieving 3 MOA and the free-float model hitting 2 MOA at 100 yards, considered good for budget options. Recommended upgrades include an optic, trigger improvement, and a better charging handle.
The Palmetto State Armory PA-15 Freedom AR-15 is reviewed as a budget-friendly defensive tool. While it features standard components like an M-LOK handguard and 16-inch 4150 barrel, it exhibited reliability issues with steel-cased ammo and disappointing accuracy (2-4 MOA). The rifle is best suited for recreational shooting or WROL scenarios where budget is a primary concern.
