Well, let's hear it. A lot of people lost their jobs at DDI we've read elsewhere.
I want to buy PSA products, not DDI. What role will DDI owner play inside PSA? Did you get DDI at firesale prices? No press release from PSA but DDI owner and former employee are posting elsewhere as are people who've had phone conversations with DDI owner. I hope it leads to a better 2017. |

Personally, I wonder if this will help or hurt PSA's quality in regards to the AK market.
I mean, DDI was turning out pretty sub-par crap for $900+ and since they (DDI) seemingly fired most, if not all, of their employees, what the hell are they bringing to PSA short of their namesake? So in the end, what would a merger really mean in relation to the quality of the AK's PSA would turn out? I only see it resulting in less competition and possible price increases. Gotta wait for the official PSA response and a layout of exactly what is happening. I hope for the best, because i'm pretty thrilled with my GB2 AK as of right now

It'd be cool to get a hammer forged PSAK47 without the $1000 price tag DDI thought they were worth. There was also mention of different caliber AKs in the works. |
| Lets just say this. GM always owned saturn. it was never independent, it was just ran with different rules. Remember the issues with G1 ak's and then remember how psa gen 2's came out with forged trunions? etc? well it is not a coincidence id say that this has been announced. A while back i was very priveledged to have a sit down with some folks, they told me thing si couldnt talk about. I havent.. this may have or may not have been discussed.. idk.. take it for what its worth.. the ramblings of an internet commando. |

fret not.. not a single thing negative about them with this news. PSA and DDI both make GREAT products, and the combination is going to make it even more great.
Always buy with confidence for PSA /DDI. Psa stands behind their products, and has always fixed anything that was wrong in my experience. |

And why do you think you have the right to know what roles the owners of a business have or what kind of price they paid ? |
