generally, most people say "Palmetto State Armory is the best place in SC for AR type weapons"

I am thinking of getting a few of these for Christmas present for friends, do you think they will run, or will they be problematic?

does it say anywhere that they have a warranty of any kind?

I dont think they have an official warranty, but they say they stand behind all their products and will fix any issues.

They have had a few issues as of late, but if your on a budget and dont want to or cant save a few hundred more for a BCM/DD/Colt ect... then I think this as good as it gets.

They have all the specs for a very cheap price, and if you happen to have a problem they will fix it.

they also have a 14.7" Hammer forged rifle for $700

Some people will say they wont touch a PSA, but in the $600 price range you can have a DPMS Sportacle or a M&P Sport (Which is nice, but is missing some things).
So this rifle with all the boxes checked is a smokin deal however you slice it imo

As a gift for friends who may not be AR savvy...hell yes it is a good deal.

Not as good Colt, DD, BCM, LMT, ect. Better than most (DPMS, Bushy, Olympic).

There are many threads on this. Some people have had basic QC issues such as misaligned feed ramps, or wrong gas tubes. They seem far and few between though.

Good luck.
