Quoted: That's what I heard. Can't wait to see some suppressors with that legendary PSA quality control hit the streets. Hi Point has nothing on these future yeet cannons.

If it's shipping from Alabama you can bet on the fact that it's more likely old Remington inventory they're clearing out and probably at yard sale prices to wholesalers and dealers. I don't know. Maybe PSA is paying for some machines to be back up and running there.

Good news if they are back and running. I have a halcyon and pray nothing gets screwed up.

Josiah can confirm that JJE bought intellectual property only. |

Quoted: Me too since I don't have one. I have a pilot 2 and a halcyon in my .22 line up tho View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Personally, I'd love to see PSA bring back the Element 2. Me too since I don't have one. I have a pilot 2 and a halcyon in my .22 line up tho I should have bought a half dozen more before they were discontinued. I love my Mask, but the Element 2 sounds almost identical (about half a note higher in pitch, to my untrained ear) and is 2 oz lighter. It really was a perfect balance of weight, length, and performance, as long as you didn't mind not having skirted baffles. |

I tried to buy an AAC Mini-4 PSA had on clearance like a year or two ago for like $250.
I talked to like 4 different people and they absolutely would not ship to an out of state buyer’s SOT. Local sale only. I was salty for awhile. Even contemplated a road trip, but a dozen+ hours of driving to save a few hundred bucks didn’t make sense. I picked up a Turbo K instead, which is lighter/quieter than the Mini-4... but I still really want a M4-2000 or Mini-4. I’ve though about putting up some ads for trading my 762SD for an M4-2k or Mini-4, but dealing with two transfers seems like it could turn into a shitshow. |

JJE has already fired up DPMS which they purchased so maybe AAC is using the same facilities? Either way it's showing that they're getting to work on the brands they purchased.
PSA Rep comments from the above linked thread: Quoted: These are brand new firearms. DPMS is a sister company of PSA's owned by JJE Capital. DPMS will sell their products directly to dealers and through distribution. They will not be sold through the PSA website. Thank you, Josiah View Quote Quoted: DPMS is another company owned by the parent company of PSA, JJE Capital. To address the question of the 308 G2, yes they will be coming back out with the G2, but it will not be anytime in the near future. Thank you, Josiah View Quote |

new AAC won't honor warranty repairs on old AAC stuff.
My 762SDN6 got sent back after a long wait, unrepaired. |

Very interested to see what comes of this. I was late getting an Element 2 and Tirant but they are phenomenal cans.

Quoted: Just curious, but do you actually own any PSA products, or are you just regurgitating the BS you read on the internet? View Quote I don't own any PSA products at the moment. I had a PSA lower and PSA upper back in the day that were fine. I know a couple of people with the CHF uppers that work well. I also know a few people that have had several problems with PSAs... One friend had a lower with out of spec trigger pin holes. The pin holding in the hammer would fall out after a magazine. Another bought a 16" Freedom Nitride upper with a poorly machined chamber/feed ramps. Sent it in and they replaced the barrel but the clowns decided to give him an "adjustable" gas block aka so canted it didn't cycle. A third bought a complete PSA lower that had a mag catch issue. There was something wrong with the mag catch where the mags would randomly fall out. He sent it back and they fixed it. So no, I'm not just making fun of PSA to sound cool. |

There are far worse guns you could own. |

Quoted: Too bad that the law and common sense doesn’t agree with you. Good luck with that. View Quote Apparently our views or acknowledgements of what common sense are are very different. Frankly, I don't believe common sense has anything to do with this. Precedence, marketing, reputation, business model, and/or principal do, maybe that's what you meant. Yes, surely. Why keep a lost companies name? AAC, Craftsman, etc., your hoping for future success generated on name recognition and past reputation. Even when someone out there says "I love my SDN suppressor, AAC is great", the new AAC benefits from that. Why must the benefit only go one way? We all were or at least many were disappointed to see AAC erode away with the poor management of its parent company and the tumultuous economical and political climate of the last decade which no doubt had an effect on Remington. Many companies or conglomerates that absorb bankrupt or lost companies do indeed neglect legacy products. Just because that is common doesn't mean as consumers we cant desire higher standards for brand integrity. It is of my opinion that if a company does not wish the honor warranty claims for legacy products then ditch the legacy name. That to me is sensible. Maybe not the precedence or an easy business model. I guess it just all comes down to how you as a company wish to build and maintain respect and patronage. Good day. |

Quoted: That was old AAC/Remington that sent your can back. Due in large part to the bankruptcy. Who said AAC wasn't going to service the legacy models? View Quote They said they wouldn't be warranting the other AAC's stuff in a thread. I think it was the thread about folks having silencers at AAC, but could be wrong. The policy may change of course, but it was stated on an internet forum, so there ya go. For production, with modern manufacturing, if they have all the information required and the equipment, setting up might not take too long. Plus, a lot of AAC/ DPMS may have been subcontracted, so easy enough to just order more now. |

Josiah said it in the thread where the guy had sent his can in for repair and the sale happened before he got it back. No one was at the factory to send him his can and iirc he had to get the ATF involved. Basically when the sale happened they (AAC) locked the doors and turned out the lights and left everything where it was, including other people's property.
