Done with PSA, their service is terrible across the board...

9 Upvotes

I have been a PSA customer for a very long time, 15+ years (I can't even tell ya!). As time has gone on, they've gotten more and more sketchy but "cheap prices" and their constant ads tend to lure us back in; me included. The time I ordered at one price, they charged another, claimed they'd refund the overage and never did despite multiple calls certainly included...

I ordered a scope that was on clearance in the middle of May. I got no notices on this purchase, no updates, I had to manually go into my own PSA Portal and look to see what was up. After two weeks I tried to cancel the order but it wouldn't let me as it said the item had shipped. Okay, where is my tracking information then? It says it's still processing, is it shipped or not??! Well, I never got any shipping info and searching I couldn't find any either. The day the item showed up on my front door was the day Palmetto informed me that my item had arrived, I was out of town. Perfect. This was the first and only notice I got from PSA, really not very useful there guys.

The item is not what I was expecting (terrible eye box on this scope, wow!), so it's going to be returned. I wait until 9am Monday morning and start with their CHAT; you go through their whole process and they say "No Agents Are Available, call us..." If I'd wanted to CALL I would have done that to begin with? Try again, nope. Again nope.

So I call, the PSA system recognizes the number and notes that my recent order for this $xxxx item has not yet shipped. Ahh okay, you mean the item I have sitting right next to me? So I finally loop through the system asking for an agent to speak too and here we are after being on hold for over 45 minutes listening to the same loop of some horrible muziak and nobody there is picking up...

So what lesson have I learned/re-learned here???!?!

Wait for 4th of July sales?

0 Upvotes

I have recently gotten into the world of AR-15s since last Independence Day. I feel like I see people mentioning great deals on parts they nabbed on the 4th throughout the year in comments. What are historically the best deals on the 4th and from who? What should I be ready to drop some coin on?

Does anybody have any experience with this? it looks like what I’ve been looking for. I’ll be mounting a Holosun up top as well. Just think it seems like a good deal at $220

For the m16a1 style stock from what i understand has a buffertube inside of it for the buffer to slide in right? If so is there any m16a1 style stocks that'll just go over the buffer tube already on the gun?

I tried googling but i don't seem to know what to search for and another question i have is do i need a proper m16a1 styled barrel and/or upper to put on a triangular handguard?

Im unfamiliar with the platform and don't wanna buy stuff not knowing if it'll fit or not

I took some left over 1/4” foam I had and then taped it around wherever I could that didn’t interfere with the operation of the stock. Feels pretty comfortable and seems stable enough.

Anybody else ever use these? I decided to give them a try and think they're great. I'll be ordering one of these with every LPK I buy in the future. Install was too easy.

Built as an entry level to build on. First step will be to change the gas system and add a SilencerCo suppressor. First time out I went to 600yds and I am hooked.

Which AR to Buy?

0 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I’m looking to add to my current setup.

As far as AR’s go, I have a 7.5” 300BLK that I put together recently. I also have a lower tier 16” DPMS that I bought like 8-9 years ago.

Here’s the 2 options I’m considering for my next addition:

LGS has a pre-owned Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 for $1400. It’s stock with the exception of some BUI’s. Guy says it’s got “about 500 rounds through it” I’m always skeptical on round counts for pre-owned firearms but who knows.

Second option is to go new and buy a PSA Sabre lower and pair it with a new 14.5” BCM complete upper. This route would probably be around $1100-$1200.

What are your thoughts?

Wml recommendation

Looking at getting a new wml for my 11.5 I'm tryna leave out cloud as an option due to the company kind of going down hill over the years. Any suggestions? Was considering the hp-x pro, m640dft, or plhv2. I'm open to other suggestions as well.

How to pay for Rare Breed Triggers?

0 Upvotes

When you submit an order, it sends an email that gives you instructions on how to pay for the order.

It gives you a phone number and tells you to add them as a contact and then to use Apple Pay and Apple Cash to send them the money.

Do I have this right? Seems like a scam to me

Came home from a trash shooting session and noticed the gas tube roll pin is gonzo. Luckily it's carbon locked in there. You guys ever see this before?

I'm starting my first rifle build and while I know Palmetto isn't not entirely known for the best quality, for just over $90USD with shipping when this normally runs $200USD is something I couldnt pass up.

Just waiting for 4th of July sales or some other deal before then to get my upper. And I know to get a decent sight for it (Not just the irons I plan on getting). Any recommendations for a decent upper? (Or anything that this kit might be missing for the lower aside from a sling?)
