My intent is not to bash PSA, I have purchased a lower, and a pile of ammo from them and have been happy. However, the guys there need to understand 1) what they actually do with respect to manufacturing/assembling LPK parts and their other wares & 2) how to correctly communicate answers to customers’ questions. Else, I assume you have no idea what you are doing-or-you are deliberately giving me false information.

    As I said before, let's not go burning anyone at the stake til we have something in writing by a spokesperson/professional from PSA. I don't wish to have my thread be a platform for libel based on hearsay. I'll just be posting facts with pictures as illustrations and yall can take away what you want from that.

    According to thier site, if you get a receiver and parts at the same time they hit you with an 11% federal excise tax.

    Specific words from thier site:
    Due to Federal law, if you order an AR15 lower and AR15 parts, we will have to add an additional 11% Federal Excise Tax to the purchase price of the AR15 lower and AR15 parts. This amount will not be reflected in your shopping cart or on your invoice, but will be added when your order is processed.

    This is an incorrect understanding of the law ASSUMING that they person did not buy EVERYTHING needed to complete a rifle.

    So if you buy a lower, LPK and a barrel, no 11% needs to be collected.

    Every company can make 50 weapons a year (believe the number is still 50) without collecting FET.

    So they would first need to hit that number before every being concerned about collecting FET on a bunch of parts that someone bought.

    Oh and it isn't the ATF that is interested in this type of stuff, it is the Treasury Dept as they are the ones that collect the 11%.

    looks like a BASH thread churning along.. IMHO..

    started out good and turned into.. they don't mfg there parts.. but sub-contract.. just like BCM and all the others.. FWIW

    who cares.. if you want it.. you will buy it..

    I wanted a PSA 16" HF CL Upper and thats what I got for $499 with Premium BCG.. no issues with over 1000 rounds in like 9 hours or so....



    I bought the $49 lower with Picto.. and will be buying either a PSA 20" upper or PSA 16" Middy.. or 16" Middy from BCM for this lower..

    I will be getting the $79 PSA LPK with MIAD and $80 MOE PSA Stock Kit..

    I'm not picky... I liking/leaning toward the BCM markings on the Upper though..

    Anyway..

    Not sure who is bashing anything. Just telling the truth. Don't confuse the two.

    Correct in that many to all companies do not make everything in house. They also do not tell people that they do. That is the difference.

    You are correct but, no one should ever take a comment from a "front counter" employee as a companies formal statement. That's just not fair.

    That would be like the gun counter guy at my local Cabelas giving me "technical" information on a given firearm and coming here and saying "but the Cabelas guy said...."
