Palmetto State Armory
Budget-friendly 10.5" complete upper with nitride barrel and M-LOK handguard. Excellent value for compact builds and entry-level PDW configurations.
The Palmetto State Armory 10.5" complete upper provides an accessible entry point for compact AR-15 configurations without breaking the bank. PSA has built a reputation for delivering functional, reliable firearms at value-oriented price points, and this upper exemplifies that philosophy. The 10.5" barrel length is highly maneuverable while still providing reasonable ballistic performance for close-quarters applications.
The 4150V Chrome Moly Vanadium steel barrel features a nitride treatment that provides excellent accuracy, durability, and corrosion resistance. While not as robust as chrome lining, nitride treatment offers comparable performance for most civilian applications at a lower cost. The 1:7 twist rate ensures compatibility with heavier 5.56 ammunition, and the carbine-length gas system provides reliable cycling.
The forged 7075 T6 aluminum upper receiver features M4 barrel extension and feed ramps for enhanced reliability. Available configurations include various handguard options, typically 9" or 12" M-LOK rails depending on the specific model. This upper represents an excellent value for budget-conscious builders, first-time AR owners, or those building a secondary platform for training or range use.
Add the PSA 10.5" Complete Upper to your build and see how it enhances your platform.
