About the Palmetto State Armory PA-15

The PA-15 follows the original AR-15 pattern closely, with a 16-inch barrel, a flat-top receiver, and a thirty-round magazine in the standard well. Complete rifles and component kits share the same interface, which has made the model a fixture of first-time builder projects. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the barrel still chambers .223 Remington, and ammunition selection follows the same guidance as any AR barrel: match the stamp before loading. Parts availability matches the wider AR market, so sights, triggers, and handguards upgrade without adapters.
