Personally, I think this should be shown to the EFGA board so they can have a word with the OP. I am a member and shoot there quite frequently and absolutely do NOT feel safe knowing that this guy could be there as well. I absolutely can't believe this story. It's almost like one of those troll stories that is written for pure attention. What's even more funny, is one of the OP's original posts back in December was about how he wouldn't go to the range until he felt he had enough dry-fire time at home that he would be ABSOLUTELY safe for himself and others at the range.

Dammit I missed the first post!? Shucks

Exactly. The 1550 still goes for around $40, but even there I'm comfortable with it, because of their awesome warranty. I think anything under $100 should be considered disposable as a work knife. I'm pretty good about not losing my knives though. I feel naked without one in my pocket.

I've used a Kershaw 1550 for years. Blade tip broke once and they replaced no questions asked. I love this knife and use it every day. Assisted opening is something you never go back from too.

Got my vote on lube in the holes. Chris Costas and Magpul did that "Art of the Carbine" series and he lubes there, as well as liberally lubing the bolt. I've always done this and haven't had a problem. If its good for him, its good for me.

So today was the first time I've been during the week and damn was it empty. Jerry from Tech Ops showed up with a couple guys he was teaching. Anyone who knows Jerry, knows how entertaining that can be...best part was no RSO Nazi today!

No it didn't. I still have ammo orders from June, that I've received, that still say processing. I don't think they update the site too often because of how busy they are. I'm okay with that as long as the "slipping through cracks" is over with.

Agreed. I was talking about it in the other PSA thread. I still haven't gotten shipping info, but the upper is on my table right now. The finish on the outside of mine is perfect, only missing the t-marks. The inside coating is iffy, but smooth. No dings or dents. Absolutely happy. I retract my recent opinion of PSA....for now.

Exactly

I would think that just giving it a smoothing out will be fine. As long as the bcg and charging handle move freely while dry, I'm not too worried about it. As far as I know, the coating inside is just a preventive. Although I'm curious about duracoat inside. I would think that it wouldn't be all the bad.

Everything looks good. The only problem I see is the lack of coating on the inside. It's spotty and looks like a cleaning solution was left inside and ran. Not an issue really. Outside looks perfect minus the "T" marks. Since this is for my fiance's build, we were planning on hydrocoating it so the finish never mattered.

Going tomorrow morning with my fiance

I take back what I said. It looks like they got back on the ball. I never received shipping info, but UPS just dropped of what PSA called a "blemished" upper. I barely see a blemish in this upper so I think I made out pretty damn well.

"Those people" knew how many planets were in our solar system, well over a thousand years before any other recorded astronomer. I'd be inclined to believe a lot of what they say. However, as said before by a couple others and myself in my last post, they never actually said that the end was going to happen. They also referenced a celebration a couple thousand years from now. Therefore even THEY believed that life would continue, hence, no apocalypse.

The mayan calendar is of the cyclic type. They worked on the numbers 13 and 20. Their calendar wasn't based on days. Leap years weren't implemented until several hundred years ago. Their calendar is actually a mathematical equation, which is accurate to within 34 seconds of today. However, he Mayans also believed the world was created in 3,114 B.C. Their "Long Count" ends on what is OUR 12-21-12. They also reference the celebration of a long deceased King, somewhere in the 4k era (don't remember the actual date). So they alone reference life after 2012. There are no actual scriptures or carvings of what they thought would happen. This is because during the Spanish Inquisition, a Fryar thought that the Mayan scriptures were work of the Devil and ordered them to be destroyed. Anything more than what defined their culture was destroyed. Just a little history for you guys.

I love PMC Bronze. I buy it whenever I can. Shoots 1-2" groups @100yds and pretty damn clean. I actually prefer it over the federal AE that I've shot.

A very good thing about this range. very reasonable price

$40 isn't cheap enough for me to drive an hour away.

I'd like to know too.

Damn, I saw the thread title and immediately knew I was going to say this place. How can you go wrong with a place that has a "passion" room AND a "jungle" room!?

Oh, another conspiracy thread. ::

They said the same thing to me even though my order history showed over 2k rounds of .223. "Slipping through the cracks" is understandable for a few customers, but not as many as I've heard about over the last couple months. They are severely under staffed.

I've been having issues with PSA's processing/shipping time also. They were doing pretty good during the shipping sale, but twice they said I fell through the cracks. Seems to be a common excuse now. I ordered a stripped lower during on Monday during that sale and haven't gotten a shipping notice yet. The average wait time for me has been about 3-4 weeks regardless of what I order. That's simply not acceptable in today's marketplace.

PSA, as of late, has been pretty slow to ship. It was being blamed on their free shipping sale that they had. They actually lost the last ammo order I place in the 3rd week of June. I didn't get it until mid July. Once I contacted them about it never being processed, they shipped it out to me 2-day express. Hopefully the processing time picks back up to how it used to be. I used to get the email of the tracking number the day before it got to me. Sometimes they are just slow to update the order on the website.

These didn't get much love on Facebook. Some people can't take a joke.
