[QUOTE="Redneckbmxer24, post: 13676996, member: 34905"] Colt used to make great AR's but there quality lately has severely dropped. You can get a much better AR for less money than a current colt. As far as 1:9 vs 1:7 everybody is tied up on 1:7 because it is milspec and few know the actual purpose of the twist rate, a few think it goes by weight which is close but it's actually bullet length. Any knowledgable AR shooter will tell you that you can stabilize pretty much any .224 bullet you can load to mag length with a 1:9. Some may not stabilize and may need a 1:8 but the rounds are either moving slow or somehow you're stuffing a long bullet down in that case which is also reducing powder capacity and velocity adding to the need for a faster twist. The most common (and effective) LR bullets for AR's at mag length would be the 69gr and 77gr sierras and noslers and even those 77's are short enough to stabilize in a 1:9. Sometimes the 75gr hornady won't stabilize as well as the 75 and 77gr Bergers but those aren't something you're likely to shoot in anything but a high end match barrel. If you want to shoot subsonics suppressed the 1:7 does have the advantage stabilizing the slower rounds. 1:9 will still do it but you'll need to go to a short bullet, something like the flat base 60gr vmax. My experience tells me different regarding PSA. They're just like the other bottom of the barrel manufacturers. On AK's the rear sight doesn't adjust, it's the front sight. There's a bunch of companies that make front sight tools, thats what you use to zero wind and elevation. The same tools does the sight for the PSL as well. It will look like a little C clamp sort of.
