I don't know how many of you read my last post half month ago. The point is that PSA sent me an PREMIUM BCG that is not HPI/MPI marked, instead with hand etched "MP". FYI, i copy the link below.
https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_301/280466_Ordered_PSA_premium_BCG__Got_freedom_.html Some friends suggested me open another post at Industry Section of This Forum. Then I did, and it works. https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_301/280466_Ordered-PSA-premium-BCG--Got-freedom-.html PSA contacted me and insist that it IS their premium BCG w/o logo. And I insist too for a premium one with HPI/MPI markings which is the actual picture on their webpage for 39339. As I wish, I got exchange, and it just was delivered this afternoon. Unfortunately, still I got MP markings on it, and the new BCG was placed in the same tube I sent back to them. That means they elaborately picked MP mark for me to demonstrate their idea "MP is the premium marking". What a joke, man. 
below pasted is the same card tube sent back to them. I believe this after comparing with the picture in previous post. they have same pattern of oil stain. 
what should i do next ? So frustrating. |

Why is it that every single person that wants to bitch about a company has a very low post count.
By the way, this not a tech discussion and it belongs in the GD section, just as it did the last time. |

Do you need a safe space and coloring book?
Why not just ask for refund. They answered your concerns and you don't seem to understand so..... Really don't know what the deal is other then you have a PSA beef? |

I cut and pasted the specs from each and eliminated the doubles, leaving:
Extractor O-ring Insert Which is in the Premium. Does your bolt have an O-ring in the extractor? Is having an O-ring worth the $10 difference? How many hours do you have involved in this so far? What is your time worth exactly? How is it you didn't figure out, on your own, that the only difference between the 2 products according to the listed specs is having/not having an O-ring in the extractor? Are you actually hung up on how the bolt is marked or the fact that you think you got a BCG that's $10 less? If I had to guess, you did the exact same BCG and packaging back, because the guy who received it, opened it up and verified it was correct and sent it back.

OP, You left out the part where they answered you swiftly in the other thread(iirc 1st post), PSA IM'd you and took care of you within 24 hours. Why the fuck didn't you just IM him back if you still had issues/questions instead of another, my vagina still hurts thread? Pack some ice on it and move the fuck on.
PSA has been pretty good to many of us and if there are issues they handle it. |

FWIW - My factory Colt M16A2 (yes a machinegun) has a bolt with an "MP" mark that looks like a 5yo wrote it AND no "HPT" mark (but I know it was)
Dude, you GOT a "premium BCG". It is a 158c steel bolt, MPI, HPT, staked grade 8 bolts holding on the gas key, full-auto profile, chrome-lined carrier. ALL that is what makes it "premium". It is absolutely GOOD-TO-GO! Put your gun together and spend your time and efforts becoming a better shooter. |

Guessing this didn't go quite the way OP planned.
I read your posts before. You thought they made a mistake and contacted them. They explained they have a couple different suppliers for their Premium bolts. Different suppliers make differently. You didn't accept that answer and are now convinced of a grand conspiracy at PSA to cheat you out of your hard earned $10. Seriously if you didn't like their reply then go ahead post it up and take the refund and go buy another BCG. Good luck finding the same quality at the same price. |
