Might be done ordering stuff from Palmetto State Armory

[Skully]

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?

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!

I just got an upper delivered, and a pack of lowers have been delivered to my FFL, awaiting my pickup. Sorry your results were crappy. Did you try the thread on the "other site" I mentioned?

No. I might.

Or, I will probably just pick up an ALG combat trigger from Midway.

I'm pretty much done dealing with PSA at this point. I don't have time to be making phone calls and emails to straighten out things that shouldn't need straightening out in the first place.

The processing/shipping time doesn't bother me. I have come to expect it so I am not surprised or disappointed when it happens.

But when my lower build kit comes in missing half of the parts that is a disappointment.

Oh I completely agree that is a huge disappointment. Hopefully they make it right in a reasonable amount of time. Keep us posted.

Thought I'd toss my 2cents in.

I just ordered a milspec buffertube and LPK, don't know if I got the oddball or not, but I got it in 10 days and my LPK was complete, it had all the parts it was supposed to. The only thing missing were 2 castle nuts, that I forgot to order.

FYI Palmetto has always treated me well, I will continue to do business with them especially when they're running their sales.
