PSA PX-9 10.5in Billet 9MM Carbine in Canada 599.00USD uses Glock mags

Your loss. These are great guns.

Not sure where I mentioned they were not.

Just saying at the end of the line, it'll be the same price as an Evo 3.
Now, they are not the same design, but I'd feel like I have more for my buck with the Evo.

Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion. As an AR it has almost unlimited modification capability in terms of stocks, forends, trigger groups, sights, etc. Unlike this AR the Evo is limited to 5 rounds (in proprietary mags) which for a PCC is a major downer. I put a Timney 3 pound trigger in my PSA along with a TRS-25 red dot and Ergo F93 stock and this thing is great. Runs like a to[p and is accurate to boot. Plus the PSA has a lifetime warranty.
I'm not saying the Evo is a bad gun (except for the trigger which is in the top 3 worst triggers I've ever tried) but I just don't see how you're getting more for your buck with it over the PSA.

So are you saying that after injecting more money in your AR it's worth more than a stock Evo ?
 
I think he's saying you get more out of the PSA due to the ability to change a lot of parts on it quite easily.

To clarify, does the PSA register as an AR? If the feds come knocking for AR's one day would they take this as well is essentially my concern?

I do get that point. However I don't change the handguard on my ARs everyday nor rebarrel them.

My point was: Price point wise I would pick the Evo over the PSA for the same price. It is compact, lightweight with a folding stock and supplied with factory iron sights.

Isn't the evo priced something like 1100-1200?

The problem is they are not the same price. The PSA is going to run you about C$840 plus shipping & taxes. The Evo's are about $1200 plus shipping & taxes so you're talking roughly a $400 price difference.

I'm referring to the restricted "pistol" counter part... I believe they are a bit cheaper ? LGS has one for 1k, online varies a lot

So 840$+ shipping and taxes will run you close to a grand... Then add 130$ish for MBUIS
 
These are all luxury items, not needs - especially restricted. Value is going to be highly relative.
800~ range for a decent quality AR build is competitive, if not entry level. That 400 difference starts putting you into mid-tier stuff. Why buy a scorpion evo when I can get a LE6920.. apples to oranges

Different caliber. This thing has more in common with a kriss vector (restricted), a scorpion (restricted) or an mpx (restricted) than it does with a LE6920 imho.

Personally I'm out of the scorpion because of the 5 rounds mags. Maybe I'd be in somewhere around 500$, but nowhere near what's a "reasonable" price for a scorpion. Unless they somehow make a mag adapter or a new version just for canada that takes pistol magazines.

As for the MBUIS, the point is moot. Most people will run a red dot without MBUIS, already have a set of MBUIS sleeping in a drawer, or would be totally fine with their Backup sight being 25$ ebay copy of magpul.
