Because Palmetto has such a mix of everything from great quality stuff of the "right" materials down to consumer-grade quality stuff made of "other" materials, and does not explicitly come out and say it when the lower quality materials are used, the place is like a minefield. Then they throw around non-descript terms like "premium" and "madness" that make you wonder which exactly you are getting.
You have to REALLY be careful with what you buy, because they also seem to mix the lower quality stuff in sometimes with their kits (ergo, 6061 tubes in their "premium" rifle kits with the CMV FN-made barrel, etc).
I like buying stuff from PSA, as many times there are quality items to be had for great prices (I'm very satisfied with pretty much everything I've purchased from them over the last three years), but their business model with this way they describe their parts sometimes annoys me.
You would be equally pissed if you bought one of those tubes, without the labeling that bothers you, and a "commercial diameter" stock which wouldn't fit correctly on a "mil-spec diameter" receiver extension.
