I will start the off by saying that PSA is a stand up company, and did eventually make things right. Now on to my story....
I bought one of the PTac kits not knowing that they were not made by or for PSA. I put the assembled upper on my lower and headed to the range. I was on my 2nd mag when the hand guard slid forward and came off the barrel nut. This was a MI Gen II SS 12". I have the 15" on my SPR. I looked at it and decided I would examine it when I got home. I found that the pinch bolts were not tightened down correctly. I called PSA and was told I could send it back and get a refund or a gift card. I chose to just tighten it and try again, that is when the bolt would not release from the barrel. I was thinking maybe the casing had swollen and got stuck, so I packed it up and went home to see what happened... The index pin in the barrel was broken, as I could rotate the barrel by hand about a 1/4 turn and back. I called PSA again and talked to Travis, this time and he gave me the same options. I decided to take the gift card and use it to purchase a real PSA (FN) upper and BCG. They were sold out by the time I got to their website. Travis then told me that they had a blemished PSA upper with the MI 12" already on it and asked if I was willing to accept that. I figured I would give it a go, since I didn't want to wait and have to try and get one when they became available again. I did receive it, and if there are any blemishes I can't seem to find any. I will post up once I get out again to shoot it and some pics when I get the rest of my additions in. Thanks again PSA and to Travis for being patient and understanding for a product that isn't even your own. |
| I had the same thing happen with my MI SS12G2 handguard. I bought the complete rifle from PSA in December 2012. I had only about 500 rounds through it and the handguard just slid off while I was shooting at the range. Quite surprising to say the least . I just contacted MI, and they gave me specific instructions on how to install it properly. |

I was going by what I was told. Either way they couldn't or wouldn't tell me the manufacturer. I'm not worried about it, as I won't be buying anything else with that branding. |

The barrel extension coming loose has nothing to do with the hand-guard/rail or the index pin. That is the fault of whoever assembled the barrel and extension. I'm well aware they have no relation to each other, all I was trying to get across is that I had multiple issues. Thanks. |
