Might be done ordering stuff from Palmetto State Armory

That might be the direction I am headed, Hoser.

Bravo Company has impressed me with their fast shipping and quality products.

I don't use Brownell's too often but I do use Midway quite a bit.

I really prefer to deal with local vendors when I can.

This is not good news... Last week I ordered quite a few things from PSA, including two LPKs... I'll check back in when I get them.

For my latest build, I ordered parts from PSA, DSGArms, Midway, and Brownells. A real frankengun!

I had an issue a while back, where they shipped me the wrong stock. I didn't hear back from them promptly, so I posted a gripe on another forum (who shall remain nameless, with no similarity to their logo implied). There is an "Official Where is my Order" thread under their name in the manufacture section. They contacted me quickly and made it right. They seem very responsive to posts there.

I have built several rifles with LPKs/LBKs from PSA, and never had an issue. Hope this was a fluke and not an indication of the direction their products are headed.

I will say that the last LBK I ordered must have had a part out of stock. Took them 5-6 weeks to ship it. It was the MOE LBK in FDE. The Black MOE kits my buddies ordered must have been in stock. I wasn't in a rush, and their prices are right, so I sat patiently. It came and all was in proper order.

Well, as I said above, I ordered parts from multiple companies all within an hour.

Midway and Brownells shipped the same day and are already here.
DSG is expected to arrive tomorrow.
Palmetto State Armory hasn't even shipped yet.

Update: The DSG Arms shipment arrived today. PSA still hasn't shipped.

i think with the overwelming amount of people getting into the ar15 hobby qc is going way down i agree 100% with hoser brownells has quality parts and the best customer service in the game

Unfortuntately I have never had the honor of ordering from Palmetto simply because anything I ever wanted from them they were out of stock or their price was no lower than others I have used to order from.


Midway and Brownells are really good about fast shipping but I have a small base of favorites I order from because they have live stock status, good price for the items and shipping costs and they ship super fast.

Rainier Arms, DSG arms, Joe Bob, rifle gear, surplus ammo, and my fav Primary Arms.

Primary arms is my favorite due to their customer service. Another buddy/member on here ordered a complete upper from Palmetto, took 17 business days within that time I ordered parts to build my 14.5 middy upper and had the parts in my hands within a week and if Bert was able to get me in I would have had mine done before my buddy got his upper in his hands.

Palmetto sells stuff everyone else sells. Their branded items I have heard are good stuff, but I have never had the opportunity to really use their stuff; however, in this day and age of internet business's another vendor is only a click away and Palmetto needs to up their shipping service or soon will be outrun from the other guys who might be smaller but do it right...........


RAY did you ever get them on the phone and square away the missing parts?

RAY did you ever get them on the phone and square away the missing parts?

Yeah. I called them right after you left. Spoke with some woman. She took down a list of everything I was missing. We'll see what happens from here.

That's one of their barrels on my little mid length that I had out the other day. Shoots quite well, I think. Hammer forged, chrome lined, and supposedly made by FN.

Guess I'll have to try to hunt down Daniel Defense or Bravo Company barrels for any future builds.

I just ordered a blem upper receiver from them this morning. Not too worried about shipping time, it is a project that only gets worked on as funds allow. Starting to get into the expensive parts now.

Those blems are a great deal!
