Google Fu says that person works in National Sales & Marketing for PSA.
He probably travels a lot for work, PSA is maxing out on growth these days. With the Myrtle Beach store just opening, he is likely slammed. Also, that sounds like a dude, that's gotta call a dude, to check with another dude. So maybe not expect instant results? |

So, although I want a gray XM177E2 lower, I've been trying to grab a black one because Lord only knows if I'll have a chance if gray ever pops up.
However, the PSA website is acting up... when I get to the checkout page, and select my address, the "continue" button doesn't do anything. I can't advance through the process. Tried it on my desktop using Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, and on my Ipad using Safari. Deactivated adblockers. Cleared caches and cookies. Nothing makes it work. Customer service wasn't helpful, she admitted she didn't know why it was doing this and that there was nothing she could do. Also, apparently you can't order by phone. I even just now discovered that there's a "Buy Now" button on the product page... but that tells me that "Appropriate shipping method is not available". I bought a Commando lower literally a month ago with no problems. Anyone else ever encountered this and figured out how to fix it? |

As it specifically says on the PSA website, stripped lowers are allowed to be shipped to California.

Was given a business card and told to send an e mail, sent 2 since then, no reply ! You buy H&R and NODAK, and seem to have a monopoly on the parts we need. I have only seen a few "slickside" uppers for sale so far. I have been a very loyal customer, but some recent issue(s) have me ready to jump ship !

I had a FSB w/ no gas port drilled - it was the FSB on a carbine-gas disappator, w/ a low-pro gas block under the handguards. It's still running, gave it to a friend of mine.

Beautiful. Will the A2 uppers be offered in a gray anodize at any point? I’m loving the gray on my 604 uppers, a wonderful match to my colt.

@mike_nds: can you comment on this issue being reported about FSB gas blocks not being drilled? I have a complete H&R barrel on the way and would like to know if this issue was found and corrected.

There were some issues with our earlier source. We switched to a new source and the current parts are better.
If you have a problem send it back for a replacement. |

View Quote It was mostly deburring and the depth of the cut for the sight post. It was at the shallow end of the spec and I wanted it deeper for more range of adjustment. If a rifle zeros and functions there is no issue. I apologize for the goof up, we would have taken care of it had you sent it back. |

Hey Mike,
Any updates on gray 653 and XM177 rifles? Thanks as always! |
|
|
I guess I missed out on grey xm177e2 lowers last month. Does anyone know when the next round will show up? Have a colt grey upper already to match up and really dont want the black receiver thats available and have to try and paint to match.
|
|
If you have nothing worth dying for then you have nothing worth living for.
|
Any estimate on when the 1:7 complete M16A1s (color doesn't matter) will be coming back? The 1:12s floating around for the past two weeks or so (gone now) were really tempting me, and I definitely fought to stop myself from going for one in the hopes that waiting will pay off.
