The Palmetto State Armory ARV has been around for a while, but it’s a great entry to the AR platform if you’re looking to save on ammo or if you’re desiring a softer shooting rifle. The AR PCC platform is a growing trend, and the PSA AR-V is a competitive option.

This ARV build:

Barrel: 16″ chrome moly steel barrel. Chambered in 9mm, (9×19), with a 1/10 twist. The barrel is nitride treated for durability and finished off with a Palmetto State Armory 13.5″ Lightweight M-Lok free-float rail and a bird cage style A2 flash hider.

Upper: Forged 7075 T6 aluminum AR-V slick side upper is hard coat anodized black for durability. These upper receivers are made for us right here in the USA.

Bolt Carrier Group: AR-V 9mm BCG. Nitride treated 8620 steel bolt, with an enhanced firing pin and external 5.56 style extractor. The bolt carrier group is compatible with most aftermarket fire control groups.

Lower:. Forged 7075 T6 aluminum and then hard coat anodized, these lowers are purpose built to accept AR-V U9 and CZ Scorpion Magazines. The lower is assembled with a Palmetto State Armory MOE EPT lower build kit with a Magpul Grip and Stock. This rifle features last round bolt hold open.

DISCLAIMER: All firearms presented in this video are in compliance with federal, state, and local laws.

  1. When were you guys start shipping to Connecticut because AR’s are still legal in Connecticut. We just have to build them to Connecticut requirements meaning bolt action. I only asked this because the company’s model is to arm every citizen but somehow just because we live in a state we get ignored.

    A lot of people in this state own AR’s yes you can still buy them here

  2. Sucks I live in Washington state and 75% of the state votes blue… now I’m trying to move to idaho. Vote red people! BCM can’t even send me a barrel! Now a friend of mine has to have it sent to his family member in idaho

  3. I've liked that these take Scorpion mags since I first saw one, I've just never seen a used one for sale and the receiver sets have always been just expensive enough that I haven't bought one yet.

  4. I can already tell the mag release is going to be annoying. I hope you guys rebuild it and put notches on it so pressing the mag release is easier
