Does anyone have any good/bad experiences with Palmetto Armory Defense firearms? I have seen a mixture of both good and bad reviews, with good out weighing the bad. Just curious on anyone’s experience with that company. I’m specifically wanting a quality AR carbine pistol…& that company shows good pricing combined with people saying the shipping times are good, considering the times we are currently in. Although I would love to have a top brand firearm worth thousands of $$$, I currently cannot, unless I wait a while longer. And who knows what laws will come about regarding the “assault weapons ban”…whatever that means. With that being said, does anyone have any experience with other firearm companies that sell quality budget AR platforms? Thank you for your time. ---

Got mags & ammo there before covid. Like the inexpensive ar ( buy top & bottom separately. Nice no frills. Waiting to snap up a dagger 9mm. Yes I am pleased with them. ---

I’ve bought several AR uppers, lowers and gear from them. No complaints at all. No range experience with it but it all feels high quality. ---

The only issue I had was they charged me tax on my AR pistol when my state was to collect the tax. I had to pay tax twice. I contacted PSA and their state. They told me that I would have to get a refund from my state. I build my own now. ---

All lowers I have except 1 came from PSA, I have never gone directly through PSA, always got them through my gun shop. I’ve gotten a good number of BCA uppers, I like them a reasonably priced. Never had an issue functional wise with am upper or lower from PSA. ---

I’ve had no issues with their products. That being said I’ve been using Bear Creek Armory since they haven’t jacked their prices up and they have a selection of off caliber uppers. Can’t rate BCA yet since i ran in to all of the issues common to 7.62x39mm ARs. ---

I have made a bunch of purchases from them with no problems. Including an upper and lower that while certainly not a match grade tack driver, has been 100% reliable and more than accurate enough for its intended purpose. ---

PSA has been great. I’ve purchased some of their complete factory built products as well as other products from other suppliers/manufacturers. They seem to have what I want in stock when I need; oops “WANT”, it. They work well with my preferred FFL and the processes are seamless. Last FFL purchase was in my hands within 3days of order. The pricing on their products almost allows for you to get a 2 for 1 deal compared to a Daniel Defense AR platform. ---

As others have already mentioned, buy ARs with confidence from PSA. PSA is inexpensive, not cheap. There is a world of difference. They are widely reviewed by most top gun reviewers on youtube, so if you need info on a specific model its probably out there. Save yourself a few dollars and buy the stripped lower separate from the upper/lower/complete kit. They actually have several pretty good deals going on right now.
