Makes sense on why people are saying it's underpowered and not advised to use tula and wolf even for range you

Fixed that for you, before it drives me nuts.

Actually, underpowered is fine for most range use, especially since it can help with practicing malfunction drills. I don't use Russian ammo because the powder is WAY dirtier than almost any domestic ammo.

Ah, so many conflicting opinions here on GT. But I was still going to use the russian ammo, but just THOROUGHLY clean my fun after ever firing

It's not corrosive, so a serious cleaning isn't needed immediately, but you will need to lube the BCG more often, and will have to clean sooner than you would with better ammo.

Cool, I ordered mine Sunday and still nothing. Granted I had to have them make a correction to the order due to my mistake so hopefully it doesn't set me back too much.

that is probably just the automated UPS system PSA has set up.

Last time they said uppers are taking the 15 days to build.

Check your UPS tracking #, more than likely, you will not see any movement on it until you get closer to the 15 day mark.

This is one of the things that they state that their system automatically prints a UPS label, it stays with the order while being built.

FWIW, all of my complete upper or rifle kit orders, I got the UPS tracking # within a day, but no movement until the build time they quote.


Lots of people get the UPS # within days of placing the order then get angry and upset when they see no movement. Most then promptly go over to ar15.com, register an account and whine and complain at PSA in the industry forum.


at the bottom of each upper page:

*Please allow up to 15 business days for your Complete Assembled Upper to ship from our facility. Holiday and special lead times can be longer*

Shipping labels are created shortly after orders are placed. Shipping labels update when the product leaves our facility and are en route to their destination. You will be emailed tracking information when the order leaves our facility, however if you receive one shortly after you place your order and it remains dormant, don’t be alarmed. Your tracking information will be updated when it leaves our facility and is still subject to the aforementioned lead time. If your tracking number goes beyond the listed lead time please get in contact with us via email or phone and we will look into your issue.

Signature required on delivery.

Just be patient, it'll get there and you'll be grinning from ear to ear.

Have you seen any movement md357?

I'm not trying to sound like a ****** or anything but jeez dude, take a pill. It will eventually ship and you'll have a good upper at a great price.

My prison social worker gave me some advice once during an anger management class, maybe it will help you out...

See, stop, let it be, let it go.

I was just asking lol I'm stocked up on chill pills

You will wait 2 weeks on ANY upper you order from them. They build and test each one. Trust me, worth the wait, and you will not find a better deal on a CHF upper anywhere. Oh, and yes, "your Effing out!"

Nope, but it's 9am here and I had no idea about the whole "we shipped your stuff but not really" email.

I guess I'm not going to war anytime soon so I'm fine waiting if that's the case.

[bmoore]

The shipping email is the only thing that is a bummer. You guys wont see any movement on the shipping page for probably 8-10 days.

I work in the logistic industry and this is normal. I also ran a distribution center and we would do the exact same thing.

Get the label printed and ready and then wait for the item to be ready.

The reason it shows in UPS is that unlike FedEx, as soon as you print out a shipping label UPS bills your UPS account number. Once you close out your shipping for the day, and upload the data to UPS(manifest), it's as if the package has shipped.

FedEx does not bill you until the package has been scanned at pick up and that's why they don't show up in their system until shipped.

It's also a great audit point for 3PAs to go after. Many shippers print labels that are never used yet are still billed for them.

I'm on day 15 on a rifle kit. Maybe today is the day.

I ordered a mid-length light profile. I didn't research but I'm hoping for a govt. profile under the hand guards and a slightly smaller than .750 in front of the FSB.

That's what it will be. I can caliper it tomorrow when I get home from work. Its not a pencil barrel. You can certainly feel the taper after the FSB.

I posted the factual information he had no clue existed. It's not decaf I need. Perhaps I only desired other posters with knowledge....?

Just a word to the wise: you have been labeled a troll because you (s)talk crap and simply wait for it to hit the perverbial fan. You antagonize greatly and contribute minimally. Many here don't see your posts cause you are on their ignore list.

I swear I am not trying to be a jerk, but you rained on a PSA parade (thread) that you had no business in, other than to be antagonistic. You had nothing positive to contribute, only crap to throw and a yellow 'foul' flag against BMoore. Fine, we get it.

Someone posts some bullshtuff? Good. It will be seen clearer if you let it play itself out with other factual data by interested posters, than if you sling your own mud upon it. Don't you get it?

Take a breath and if you really want to do the "my dad can beat up your dad" stuff, I hear M4C loves their new members.

[punkey71]

Obviously you're not...trying desperately to find a way to convince the folks that come here for factual information you are not completely ignorant when it comes to the AR-15 system.

To be a really totally awesome interwebs stalker you should probably call Fredericiskburg Fire Department and ask about me.

Of course the fact that I don't work there is irrelevant. Perhaps the little tid-bit that F'Burg is within 1 hour of the greater Washington, DC area escapes someone from a small department. Some of us have to live an hour or more from our job.

Please search BMoore's lie regarding his employment. It's quite entertaining.

He's an ambulance driver. Not a fireman.

Its not his fault, go easy. See ya in the next thread.

[WoodenPlank]

Well, this thread has turned out well...

[punkey71]

I realize you are one of the truly knowledge folks that frequent this forum.

Bmoores complete lack of knowledge of the AR platform combined with personal BS put me over the edge.

I'm not claiming to be as knowledgeable as you or others but I feel, at times, I brought something to the table. The complete fan-boy, ignorant crap turned me off a bit ago. I check in once in a while to see if folks like yourself and others still tried to help but rational, educated advice is scarce.

Not having real world feedback is fine but here it seems simply making crap up equals sound research or better yet, expertise.

The SME's left for a reason.
