I JOINED THIS SITE JUST SO I CAN WARN YOU ABOUT WHAT PALMETTO STATE ARMORY PULLED WITH ME.
I BOUGHT A "NEW" COLT LE6920 FOR $950 SHIPPED TO MY FFL.
I WAS AT MY FFL WHEN THE RIFLE WAS DELIVERED MONDAY, JUNE 9TH.
RIGHT OFF THE BAT, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS FISHY BECAUSE THE BOX WAS NOT SEALED WITH THE USUAL 2 PIECES OF TAPE.
I OPENED THE BOX AND NOTICED EVERYTHING APPEARED IN ORDER, BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I SEEN A NEW COLT RIFLE IN A SEALED BAG.
I GET HOME, TAKE THE RIFLE OUT OF THE BAG, AND IT STARTS DRIPPING OIL FROM EVERY PIN, DELTA, RING, ETC.
I NOTICED THAT EVERY PIN ON THE RIFLE HAS SLIGHT GOUGING FROM OBVIOUS USE.
THEN I NOTICED SOME BLACK TOUCH UP PAINT LOOKING CRAP ALONG THE TOP OF THE RECEIVER WHERE A MOUNT WOULD BE FOR A SCOPE/RED DOT, WHICH COINCIDENTALLY LINES UP PERFECTLY WITH MY AIMPOINT PRO W/ FACTORY MOUNT.
THE SAME TOUCH UP CRAP IS ON THE NUB OF THE FORWARD ASSIST TO COVER UP OBVIOUS MARKINGS FROM CASINGS BOUNCING OFF IT.
THIS RIFLE WAS OBVIOUSLY USED, AND ORIGINALLY IN A DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION, THEY HAD TO HAVE CHANGED IT BACK TO STOCK WHEN I BOUGHT IT

I IMMEDIATELY CALL PSA AND NOBODY ANSWERED, SO I LEFT A MESSAGE. I THEN SEND AN EMAIL TO THEM AS WELL. BY WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOBODY HAS CONTACTED ME.
I CALL AND LEAVE MESSAGES THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ALONG WITH ANOTHER EMAIL.
I FINALLY GOT AN EMAIL BACK YESTERDAY THAT MERELY SAID "SORRY, BUT WE CANNOT DO ANYTHIGN FOR YOU SINCE YOU HAVE ALREADY ACCEPTED IT FROM YOUR FFL, YOU NEED TO CONTACT COLT DIRECTLY"

ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME?
WHAT A BUNCH OF BULLS****

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS???

EXTRA CAPS LOCKS ARE CRUISE CONTROL FOR AWESOME POTATO


Ibtl/m

Yes in my opinion, PSA sucks. I've sent back my last two orders with them because their brand of stuff was complete crap, and I'm dorm buying from them.

That being said, they've got a ton of fan boys here and they're paying site sponsors, so this whole thing will probably get nuked.

Yes, it really does. AND IT'S CONSIDERED THE TEXTUAL EQUIVALENT OF YELLING.

Yes, you should, if it's not to to your liking. Once you accept it from your FFL you are usually on your own. Are you a legit 0369?

Shit happens. I'm sure they will make it right.

Sounds like someone returned it to PSA and pulled a quick one and the monkeys at PSA didn't know what they were looking at.
Just a guess.

Colt isn't exactly known for a perfect finish, and this isn't the first time I have heard of or seen the touch up paint.

For Colt, yes.  I don't think they are going to help you out.  You have an optic on now, too so you can't claim that rail mark

IBTL.

In my experience, everything I have purchased has been EXACTLY as described, sometimes better (blem lowers).

I have a few Colt 6920s. They all had "character" marks out of the box. I'm willing to accept that for mil-spec quality, you evidently are not. One of my 6920s had brass marks on the deflector when I bought it. I presumed from test firing at the factory.
