THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Does any one have any insight as to the reputation of the firearms they produce? |

Really? Why don't you do a little bit of research on this forum. In about 2 minutes you could probably find their industry page and have all your questions answered.

Come on cut the guy a break he is new and most new people do not know how all the features of the site and how they work. OP PSA has a general good background and is building a good rep. I would buy one if I was not in process of closing house. |

I agree with CTD on this one . look at the PSA industry forum and read for yourself.
I suggest you buy BCM. |

I've got two and love them both. From a price/specs perspective they're hard to beat.

Even better yet, go into the Home Town forum for Florida, meet a couple of local shooters and get them to help you build your own, completely custom to your desires!
If you wanna buy a whole product though, PSA is highly thought of on this forum and will be a good rifle.
Palmetto http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_2/301_Palmetto_State_Armory.html Florida Hometown http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_8/10_Florida.html |

Is Palmetto Arms the same as Palmetto State Armory?
PSA labels everything 5.56 not .223, except the Wyld chambers. |

Palmetto State Armory appears to use quality components and are reasonably priced.They suffer from occaissional quality control problems ie misassembled products. If you look at the rifle and it appears to be okay ie no canted front sight etc, it's probably a good deal |

That seems like a really good deal for a complete rifle. Nope. Anyone can spend a few minute and find oodles on info on this forum about PSA or any other manufacturer they want pretty effortlessly. Google also has this function. There are 5 million of these threads a week from noobs asking if Industry Partners are "good to go?" It's ridiculous. If they can spend 10 minutes filling out the form to join the forum, they can spend another 10 clicking links until they stumble upon the information they seek. Or they can take a peek at the industry forums and see who sponsors this website and read the threads within. We leave our legitimate dirty laundry up in our Industry Forum for the world to see because it's a challenge to be better. Most other partners do the same. |

From his post count it's easy to assume he's not very familiar with the website. I highly doubt he knows there is an industry section, let alone Palmetto in it. On top of that ... You do realize a majority of those interested in firearms are older and not very computer literate. You would be surprised how very few of them even know how to use google. My mother for one can not, though she has no problem surfing her favorite shopping websites. You could of been a lot more helpful, and a lot less abrasive. |
