[@terryfaugno9242]

Lots of hate directed at PSA simply because they started out as a discount AR parts drop shipper, and grew and grew and grew. Is every single firearm and round of ammo that exits PSA an exquisitely hand crafted masterpiece? No. They, like EVERY manufacturer on earth, have product go out the door that really shouldn't have. What PSA does have is a tremendous post-sales customer service, and as has been proven numerous times in the past and present, they LISTEN to their customers and make changes based on customer feedback and customer demand.

[@terryfaugno9242]

Noticed the extensive ESD/static discharge mitigation measures in the primer facility, i.e. the heavy gauge copper bus and the heavy gauge mesh cables connecting the airlock doors to it. I presume the facility also has humidity control to prevent ESD build up and the workers wear footstraps and/or ESD rated garments to negate the triboelectric build up of static from their movement. You DO NOT WANT people shocking themselves during the winter on a steel table or tooling fixture while working with raw priming compound. You get Michael Bay style real world pyrotechnics that way.

[@PalmettoStateArmoryVideos]

Thanks for the heads up🤣

[@terryfaugno9242]

@@PalmettoStateArmoryVideos That was more for the uninitiated in the audience who might wonder why you need so much grounding and ESD control. I've worked in defense, aerospace and telecom manufacturing for 30+ years, and am REAL familiar with ESD mitigation, though the "kabooms" we avoid need a high power microscope to view, vs. the rather larger ones that you're avoiding.

Great ammo guys at excellent prices! I keep plenty on hand for myself and my wife, as I've got her hooked on the joys of shooting and PSA! One question, if I may ask? On your website, PSA offers the 653 complete upper, in the H & R line of retros. I'm unable to find the M16A1 complete lower in gray to pair with this upper, as it is only offered in gray. Will you be offering these lowers anytime soon, or what advice could you offer me to obtain one of these. I think the 653 is the most beautiful rifle in the H & R lineup. Thanks for your response ahead of time, and thanks for all you men do for all of the firearm enthusiasts all across our Nation!

Keep in mind that most of the ammo we buy is made on old worn out production equipment that the OEM cant afford to shut down to rebuild and doesn't want to replace due to the cost.

[@Gottaculat]

I love PSA! Bought a stripped lower in 2019 for a Christmas present to my brother (I bought one with no logo, then had his personal business logo laser engraved on it). It was funny, because he was very Fudd-like, with the "Nobody needs an AR-15," attitude. I told him to just use it as a paperweight; just hold onto it. Then, Covid hit, and when he saw the insanity, and realized if one of these AntiFa mobs came through, or just looters in general, especially if they have fire bombs, his 4 round .30-06 bolt-action just wouldn't be enough to protect his family (wife and 4 kids). He went to just buy an AR-15, but they were all sold out, even the lowers. So, without saying, "I told you so," I helped him build out his PSA lower into the rifle he needed. Since then, he's been bitten by the AR-15 bug, and has built more, including a long range 6.5 Grendel, and an up close, suppressed .300 BLK. He's bought his parts kits and pre-fabs from you guys, and he loves them! I also have a buddy who's building a custom 7.62x39mm AR/AK hybrid, and I think he talked to you guys about one of the parts he wanted, and compatibilities with another company's parts. He said the people he talked to at PSA were very well versed, friendly, and were a huge help in solving his issue. Y'all are doing a fantastic job, and I always point new shooters to PSA. Good, solid company!
