Anyone else think PSA should recall their 9mm AR?

[Slacker]

Any other company would have recalled it already. Based on facist book, the jacked up chamber issue is very widespread. No serial number range has been offered.

My opinion of PSA was already low....but it has now met up with whale shit.

Any links to problem threads like on Arfcom, elsewhere?

I must be under a rock...not familiar with the issues

Not on Arfcom much.
I see it heavily on the PCC Universe page on facist book plus multiple reports here.

I've been under the impression that PCCs, especially 9mm AR platforms, are rather picky. Are these issues outside the norm?

Read this thread, and click on the pictures. Starts out as a broken extractor thread, but there is at least one of the bad chamber guns in that thread.

I read a crap ton about these before I bought one. I was more worried about the extractor/ejector issue than the chamber issue.

Before I fired mine the first time, I replaced my buffer with an 8 ounce extended 9mm one from KAK industries and replaced my buffer spring with an super heavy spring.

So far so good. But, I only have about 150 rounds through it. Reliability remains to be settled on until I can send more rounds downrange.

But, I am using +P+ ammo in it. Not sure how big of a difference that makes.

PSA'S issues are outside the norm, yes.
They sold a mess of 9mm carbines with chambers no where near correct. Obviously no QC, headspace checks or test firing involved.

As much as I like PSA, I have to agree that these issues should have been caught with any kind of QC in place. I had one of the problem barrels. .

Their customer service has been excellent in every instance I've heard regarding the 9mm barrels, but I have to agree that they should have had a recall on them.

I agree as well.

Heck, they should have done it when folks were breaking the extractors after 3 or 4 rounds, nevertheless with the chamber issue.

I had an issue with mine(see thread in this section) and PSA took good care of it, so no complaints on customer service. I think the completed rifles are test fired and have a fewer issues, several folks I know bought them this way and are not having any problems.

The Glock-style 9MM AR world seems to be pretty glitchy outside of the JP rifles, but that is to be expected on a relatively new platform. I built my gun on a budget and knew full well it may need tweaks. For the price I paid for the upper I can't complain much if something "fell through". If you want to see shitty QC at a high price look at the Wilson Combat AR9s.

Please share the known issues with the WC?

Read quite a few issues on several forums, mostly extractors and some hammer follow. I think there was a thread on Enos forum, I'll try to dig it up tomorrow.

For $2k I'd expect top quality and zero issues. If I were dropping that kind of coin on a PCC it would be a a toss up between JP-15 or a Sig MPX.

May be like the quality department where I work. They don't do anything. First place I have ever worked and seen this. We have determined that the manager is a quality monitor, like on the Lifelock commercials. He doesn't do anything, just monitors it.
