Avoid Palmetto State Armory

[SniperFan78]

Actually it's more like a $40,000 to $50,000 insurance policy.
Two of his 'Parts kits' missing from order and two more missing parts (FCG?), loss valued at about $200.
So these were probably NOT full build kits with receivers, whew
No FFL required, just small parts and mags.
Still have to buy or machine a PILE of lower receivers, upper receivers/barrels/forearms.
What kind of sights?

To put together 9 minute ARs.

Pretty smart guy.

$20k in lower part kits and ammo to put in boxes if needed along with water filters and ..., a few things come to mind; Foremost, I would not advertise that I had this much armament on hand because it would take a lot of claimed boating accidents to claim I no longer had stuff that I notified to the world I had. Second given the cost of uppers and ammo will easily cost more than the associated lower and magazines how much do you have in uppers/ammo to make a functional arsenal.

This actually happens to me all the time but it's mainly because I have so much money to spend I just don't care to check a $20k order for months on end. Last time I ordered $100k from Cheaper Than Dirt for my new Barrett PRS Creedmoor Operator Rifles that I personally build in my parents garage they shorted me 2 Quigley Ford scopes, 7 magpul magazine clips, and 4 Punisher AR lowers. Well I was furious... I immediately jumped on tacticaldouchebag.com and bashed the fuck outta those assholes to all my operator friends I play online with. What kinda company doesn't bend over and cater to a high end rifle builder like myself...? Assholes that's who, I spend my money elsewhere now but they probably lost the best rifle builder in the United States and I'm the one laughing now.

kinda curious about what the ammo stash looks like myself ... commensurate with the $20K in matching small parts purchase.

Nothing to do with ordering but PSA deleted my critical review of their AAC ammo line 77gr OTM. That was pretty shitty of them.

I take it this ammo did not perform?

I had huge velocity swings. Bullet seating was all over the place and even hit pressure. Blew out a primer.

Flippy would have listed the parts kits missing parts as collectibles on gun broker, then made a number of posts on SH bragging about the ‘scalp…’

 

[Steve_In_29]

Apparently so. Doesn't mean they shouldn't have done the right thing and send the missing parts. 1% of the order.

They would have IF YOU had done the right thing and checked your order in a timely fashion.

Their policy is plainly stated and they would have taken care of you had you got off your butt and done your part. So stop whining about how they screwed you when it was you own inaction that was the cause of your situation.

Not making any excuses.

PSA shorted his order and if he had bothered to check it in a timely fashion there would have been no issue to complain about as PSA would have made him whole.

When did you purchase the ammo that had the problems?

Trolling this BS all over.

Josiah (PSA) offered to make this right if you would PM him the details.

Josiah from PSA has attempted to reach out to you on ARF and has been active in yout post.

He tried to reach out on 3/15, and after making the post, you ghosted out.

He also confirmed you ghosted on him as well, 100% confirming that you sir, are a Troll.

Quit shitting on folks buisness because your life sucks.

If their was 1% credibility to your bitching, you would have responded.

 

[b6graham]

This should be ban worthy

 

[BCP]

That makes more sense, PSA has always done right by me with their screwups.

I bought an EXPS2 from PSA when they had the EOTech sale. They ran out of EXPS2 stock and sent me an email asking if it was okay to replace with an EXPS3. They sent me an EXPS3 for less than $450. I've spent plenty of money with them as well and they've never proven to be anything less than exceptional.

 

[GUNNER10]

LoL...

I Think PSA has all the issues associated with bargain basement pricing, but I think they serve a role in the market. I think as long the end user understands that they may to put a level of energy into their rifle in the event that PSA has a case of the Mondays, they may be able to save a few hundred dollars.

In that 600 to 800 dollar price point, its all pretty much the same shit, with the value prop for PSA being that they use of FN barrels vs what ever sewer pipe other low price point manufactures throw on.

Personally, I would encourage anybody getting into AR's to get a least one solid rifle up and running before fucking around with fucking around with unknowns.

 

[rdinak]

I have purchased 4 different uppers from PSA. Never had a problem.

Think the premium uppers with CHF barrels are a great price point.

 

[Austan]

All ball busting aside, I have no problems with PSA rifle kits and regularly suggest them to friends and acquaintances who want an ar "just in case".
The 16" middy with magpul furniture, sights, and the better trigger (EPT) is perfectly serviceable as is. Add a yellow JP trigger spring set and flat wire buffer spring for little extra money and all the better. I understand they will likely never be proficient, and after some mag dumps it will live in a closet, but having something you can spray and pray with in a McCloskey type situation is a far sight better than getting butchered in your home by savages and I imagine that to be the scenario they envision when contemplating needing one as an insurance policy.

That said, I still don't get the 20k worth unless making rifles to flip for profit. Otherwise 100 "just in case" rifles is less than useless and only serves to arm the enemy you're up against. Making an armory in the church basement? Then maybe...

Once the OP has got his lowers, uppers, barrels, etc. ,
How about a 9 minute video of one of his ARs being assembled ?

Not even a good troll at that

Is this still available?

 

[Sblzrd65]

I can't fathom why anyone buys psa, why? there is so much better, so many more, and more robust out there so WHY!

you couldn't give me anything from them.

Build your own before going psa

For that entry level price point who would you use instead? Complete lowers for under $130, uppers for a bit more. Certainly if one had 3x the amount there's plenty of better options, but this is more like getting them in the door. As for DIY builds, there's a lot to be said for customization and picking out the best parts for the job, but for a first timer? IMO better to start out with one pre-built, run it a bit and then see about picking another together. the LEGOs comments are nice, but for s first-timer than can't find the "any key" and thinks YouTube makes him an armourer might be in for a shock come range time.
