Might be done ordering stuff from Palmetto State Armory

[ray1970]

I've ordered several barrels from Palmetto Sate Armory and, although their order processing and shipping is incredibly slow by most people's standards, everything has been as expected so far.

Anyhow, I am putting together a lower budget rifle and since they had their lower build kits on sale for $79 I ordered one. This kit includes everything to finish out a stripped lower (buffer tube, stock, lower parts, etc.) and seemed like the way to go. So, after two weeks, the kit arrived.

I open in up and the first thing I notice is there are two standard A2 grips and two trigger guards in the kit. Odd, but whatever. So I start putting things together and then I notice there are a couple of things missing. There is no hammer, no disconnector, no trigger, no hammer or trigger pins, and no hammer, trigger, or disconnector springs.

Then I also found out that the safety selector wasn't drilled properly and the selector won't stay in the "safe" position.

Needless to say they will be getting a call first thing in the morning.

That would explain why they were so cheap...
Sucks when you think you did ok and get hosed like that.

Yeah, but I can remember a small company years ago with really cheap AR stuff. What was the name of that other company? Oh, yeah.... Bravo Company.

Ah so true!! But that was before the big rush to pump stuff out before an election.
There were a few other good companies that sold stuff cheap but quality stuff-Sherlunk? I think was one of them I got parts from in the past and they were real decent,wonder if their still around?

Don't post shit like this when I just placed an order for my lower Sunday and was wondering what the delay was.

Hmmm guess I should mark them off the list for my first build. What other good deals did you see out there?

Well, I actually have an upper on order from Palmetto State as well. They were/are having a big sale on them. I ordered a 16" middy with a 1:7 twist and chrome lining. It's mag particle inspected and high pressure tested. $279.

The delay is they are notoriously slow with getting your order to you. It will arrive eventually if that makes you feel better. Also, other than this parts kit missing quite a few critical parts, everything else I have ordered from them has been correct.

I have had nothing but problems and horrible customer service from them.

Now days I just deal with Brownells, SKD, Bravo Company or directly with the manufacturers.
