What’s Included
- Palmetto State Armory PSA JAKL 5.56 NATO rifle (16.5 P&W barrel)
- 3x 30-round Magpul PMAG polymer magazines (5.56x45)
- Rifle soft case (OD green)
- M-LOK Picatinny rail section installed at 6 o'clock

The JAKL's gas-piston system is paired with a bufferless design that houses the recoil spring in the upper, eliminating the need for a receiver extension. An externally adjustable gas block at the front of the handguard allows on-the-fly tuning to different loads or conditions.
The monolithic aluminum upper integrates the handguard and provides a full-length 1913 Picatinny top rail. M-LOK interfaces at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock offer broad accessory placement, with a Picatinny section already installed at the 6 o'clock position and polymer rail covers in place.
The 16.5 P&W barrel is threaded and fitted with a three-prong flash hider. The rifle uses an AR-15 pattern magazine well and bolt catch, with a typical capacity of 30+1 when using 30-round magazines.
Ergonomics include a left-side, forward-mounted side-charging handle, an FDE stock with adjustable length of pull and a rubberized buttpad, and an FDE Magpul pistol grip. The rifle features a manual safety, a two-tone FDE/black finish, and is made in the United States.
