So a member on the AKFiles (Mel64D) had sent his PSAK47 Barreled Receiver back to PSA for some warranty work. PSA then decided to not return the barreled receiver and refunded his money (which was not what he wanted, he wanted his barreled receiver back) with no explanation whatsoever. Watching the thread it appears that the bolt carriers that came with the kit were cast parts instead of billet (which a representative of PSA told Rob Ski that all parts were billet on a video). Then they said they will replace the cast parts with billet, and at the same time making a tier system (freedom, premium, etc) which was contradictory to their original story of no cast parts in their AK47 kits. So I decided to make a thread in their industry forum here on AR15com . They changed the name of the thread, posted a BS reply, and locked it. It looks like PSA did a bait and switch to their customers, lied, and tried to silence and hide the truth. It's sad and it's sickening.

Problem is he wanted the barreled receiver back, not the money. And was given no explanation.

I'm not 100% clear on how refunding a customer's money is theft.  Can someone literally fill me in on that?

Sounds like he got fired as a customer.

If I RMA something for replacement and the company I bought it from decided they were going to do whatever they wanted I'd probably be a little upset.

If he owned it, he should be able to get his own asking price for it, not what the company took from him when he bought it.  If he agreed to a refund, that's one thing.

My skin is I'm trying to find out what's going on, why they bait and switch, why the lies and deceit, and asking PSA what's the reason then being railroaded. I don't know if the gentleman is on this forum.
