Any words for palmetto state armory?

Yep everything I’ve ever bought there has been gtg out of the box I’ve never had an issue now granted I’m not taking these AR’s to foreign environments and doing super secret mall ninja work with them so take it for what it’s worth is my PSA BUILD as good as a Knights Armament probably not but it was a lot cheaper to do it this way

They will get it to you and all is good. They are just slow. There were slower to ship before the mess. I can't imagine what their turn around time is right now. But I have a couple lowers from them that are just fine!

I've bot bought parts to build and an U/L kit! Both shipped in a reasonable time frame and all parts were flawless in fit and finish. I only shoot reloads so I'll just say ringing steel at 200 yards is fun.

I can recommend them without reservation for general shooting.

Smiles,

Probably half the people on this board have bought some AR bits / complete assemblies from PSA over the years. They're known for competitive commercial offerings at (sometimes really) good prices, spotty (some fast/some slow) shipping, and customer-focused customer support.

No worries.

Hello all, so recently I made a purchase from PSA only to later hear about some bad reviews....

Does anyone have experience with this company (either positive or negative)? I have no problem waiting but I am more concerned about not receiving the product at all.

Also, as for the product I purchased, I ordered a complete lower and upper since they were on sale. Any experience with their ar type rifles?

I had a similar concern. I made a purchase from them last year and then later read a ton of terrible reviews. I called a customer sales associate and explained that I was worried. He expedited my shipping (at no extra cost) and I got my product early. It worked out of the box very well.

I've also had great experience with their ammo.

That said, they do have their own brand of ARs and AKs. There's a guy on here who swears by their AKs and says PSA is the first group of Americans to really get the AK right. I can't speak to any of that but their in house AKs and ARs are quite affordable.

I have purchased from them a dozen or more times and everything has always been great.
However I have found that Amazon has permanently altered my ability to patiently wait for orders from anyone else.

I have some experience with PSA low end ARs - no problems whatsoever. Good stuff.

That's PSA in a nutshell. I've never had any complaints with their products. Never had any complaints with their shipping times either, but then I have not ordered from them since The Panic started.

I purchased an AR from them 3 years ago, it was on sale at that time for $369. I have had zero problems with it.

I have ordered plenty of stuff from PSA over the years from parts to build/assemble myself to complete uppers. I have only had to contact their customer service once and they took care of me without any hassles.

Yes their shipping is slow at times. They only ship in batches so nothing goes out until the truck/container is full.

Several orders with zero problems in fit and function. Reasonable shipping times(pre-panic). If you get a chance to visit their storefronts, worthwhile. Very courteous and knowledgeable!

I have purchased many products from them from ammo to AR parts and never once had a problem! Give it time...

I bought a complete (cheap) kit from them maybe two years ago, everything but an Anderson stripped lower. With no prior experience, but a good Youtube assembly video, managed to put it together with just household tools and it worked. Discovered I'm not an AR fan, but that's no fault of theirs.

It was purchased at a time when they had a reputation for being very slow in shipping, but mine arrived in a timely manner.

Overall, I was satisfied with the transaction.

Edit: It was just over 4 years ago, right before the prior election.

I have bought from them for years and never a problem. I have built ARs with their stuff and have had not had one problem. Sometimes fast sometimes slow on shipping but it always arrives...

I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them and got one of their AK's last year. It has been excellent. All positive here.

A lot of people really swear by their AKs. I've heard some have had issues with the rear sight leaf and accuracy, but from what I can tell that's a small minority of shooters.

Everything from them for me and several people I know has been just fine and with timely shipping. The worst I can say about them is their daily-deals emails will cause you to spend too much money!

One thing you have to remember, there are people out there that would bitch if you GAVE them a million dollars tax free...

To answer your question...PSA is GTG, I've built a couple guns with their stuff and know a bunch of other people that have done the same with no issues

I built an AR with mostly PSA parts last year and it's been great. It wasn't super fast turnaround time on the gun parts but it wasn't awful, maybe a couple of weeks. I've ordered other items from them in the past like magazines and have gotten faster turnaround. In terms of quality, you can order up or down depending on what you're looking for but I'm really happy with the way my build turned out.

Near as I can tell, most of the people dumping on PSA are just mad they don't have cheeto crumb removers for their bean bag furniture and won't make their mom stop yelling at them to clean the basement up.

I'd like to see them get Daggers back in--but, they are trying to fix a part supplier problem, so that is what it is.

Add me to the column of satisfied PSA customer.
Several lower build kits, a couple complete uppers, ammo, various parts, mags, etc. I can't think of any complaint with them. Shipping times have always been adequate, but then I try to be patient and not order stuff I need RIGHT NOW or at the last minute.

I'll be looking forward to buying a couple more STR/EPT lower build kits, once prices drop back to the reasonable and sane level.
