Hi PSA, Regarding: http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/ar-15-parts-sale/blem-ar-15-parts/5-56mm-full-auto-profile-bolt-carrier-group-cosmetic-blem-ready-for-duty.html What is considered to be a blemish on a bolt carrier? Missing spots of the parkerizing? Finish chipping on the bolt? I guess I just want to know what constitutes a "blem" before I buy one. Generally, "blems" are considered aesthetic only and nothing that affects function. However, I would think missing the finishing would affect function. Also, are these bolts high pressure tested and magnetic particle inspected? I didn't see that in the specs, although I did see that they are made from Carpenter 158 steel, which is good. |

Quoted: Kry ,take up a different hobby .this might be to difficult for you  Because I like people to directly answer a question instead of passively and round-about? Is it really so bad that I prefer a non-politician's answer? It's actually faster and simpler to say "No, they are not" than "They are as described" and it wouldn't require the potential customer to go back to the website and re-read the description and look for it. Saves you and the customer time. I also believe it would lead to less frustration if it was clearly marked as not having gone through those tests because people put value on and care about those specifications. Before people jump on me, this is CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. It isn't pure whining. It isn't destructive (calling them names or yelling with no useful criticism). It is helpful to them to know how I (and other potential customers) will view such responses and product descriptions. This is the way you improve your business: Through criticism. Also, this hobby is precisely not too difficult for me because I care about these things and ask these questions before buying. If I had purchased this BCG, I would've been dissatisfied. There is absolutely nothing wrong with knowing what one wants and asking questions to see if a specific product fits that want. |
