  1. I'll take the 50 rounder if available. Armorer's manual if any left over as well.
  2. 7" is the correct length. You already have it. Stay around and meet the other folks, well worth it. You'll be among the finest gun folks that ever existed. Really. These fellows and gals are the latest edition of the Wild Bunch. They act crazy and wild at times but always end up pulling together, especially for the newcomer. How do I know? It's like joining any clique. Once you're in you're in. I paid the price for seemingly stepping on someone's toes. Feathers flew and then it's over. Or you can be the best darn newcomer that we could wish for. Thanks for the appreciation, I simply past on this stuff from my betters. But you're right, you'll learn so much faster and better shooting the damn thing. Keep us informed, we like to see another gunner working his rig correctly, and passing on good info.
  3. Don't drill that hole or add stuff.
  4. Palmetto State Armory Warranty Policy FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY Firearms and parts manufactured by Palmetto State Armory are backed by our Full Lifetime Warranty. Our PSA manufactured firearms and parts are warranted to be free from defects in materials and craftsmanship for the serviceable lifetime of the firearm or part. The liability of Palmetto State Armory under this warranty shall be limited solely to the obligation to repair the defect or replace the firearm/part at its discretion, and to pay transportation and insurance charges for return of the firearm to the owner for a rightful warranty claim. This warranty is transferable for the serviceable lifetime of the firearm or part. Modification of firearm will void this warranty. This warranty does not cover ordinary wear and tear or any damage resulting from careless handling, neglect, repairs or adjustments, improper, substandard, reloaded or defective ammunition, corrosion, or other unreasonable use of the firearm or part. To initiate a Warranty claim, call Palmetto State Armory Customer Service at (803) 724-6950, Monday through Friday, 9am - 6pm EST. Customer service will issue an RMA number to allow for the return of the firearm. Warranty claims must have this RMA filled out, and included in the box with the firearm or part. The firearm or part concerned must be shipped using the prepaid label our representative emails to you. Palmetto State Armory will pay shipping and insurance charges for the return of a firearm or part to its owner or FFL, if the related claim is a proper claim for warranty work. If Palmetto State Armory is unable to fix the original serial number, a new one will be sent out, but must go to an FFL for transfer back to the customer. Another background check will be completed at the time of transfer. Palmetto State Armory is not responsible for transfer fees at the FFL. Under no circumstances shall Palmetto State Armory be responsible for incidental or consequential damages with respect to economic loss or injury to property, whether as a result of express or implied warranty, negligence or otherwise. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Palmetto State Armory will not be responsible for the results of ordinary wear and tear, careless handling, neglect, unauthorized repairs or adjustments, improper, substandard, reloaded or defective ammunition, corrosion, or unreasonable use. This warranty gives you legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State.
  5. Same same with the purchase. Call anyway and see what they say. I'm sure folks have sent back defective rifles for repairs or replacement after shooting them. What's their guarantee, warranty?
  6. Call PSA and send it back. It won't be the first call they received.
  7. Does the pivot pin fit at all? I'm assuming it does, then go for it. Some folks here had a horrible experience with these rifles. I did not. My new PA 10 was OK, I'll tune it up. The recoil was excessive, especially for a gas gun.
  8. Mine is a little rough as well. Greased mine up and inserted it over and over. Any way you get it to fit is fine. I'd stay away from a Dremel until frustration got the better of me.
  9. The suggestion for an Armalite kit is terrific.
  10. OK, All done just now and only one cup of coffee ingested. First pic, not much damage to speak of. This rifle had a 7" inner length, not the usual rig from PSA, must've changed it. Pic 2 original spring and buffer, buffer weigh 3.8 oz. Pic 3 suggested parts by the High Exalted Mystical Rulers of this Realm. Sprinco orange spring and 5.3 oz buffer. Mine is 5.2 and it was the best find for me at the time. I have since purchased more buffers at a lower price to use the bodies with tungsten weights I purchased. Thank for the question it has made me actually use the purchased products and not just hunt and gather parts. The info supplied here comes from true gentleman who are die hard believers and masters of this 308 stuff. Welcome aboard! BTW, I'm not one of the masters I am but a squire still.
  11. Up $10 for sure, good info JT. I bought all the suggested parts and did not change them out. I'll look at my receiver right now and get back. My brass ejected at 4:30 6 feet. Put a bucket where they flew and didn't have to chase the brass as they mostly landed in the bucket. I should have said PA 10 was used. The recoil was just shy of a Garand 30 06. Let me go look now.
  12. We're super careful in Florida regarding folks on bikes. Not all the people I know are careful for anything but themselves, however most citizens know that bikes are sometimes hard to see and always less safe than an auto in an accident. Thank God that brother is safe. I lost a few good men from accidents.
  13. I love that, " Meanwhile back at the ranch..." line. It was a favorite of mine when I played sick to get out of school for the day. There was an old B&W cowboy show, Billy Bang Bang and his brother Butch. Whatever was going on in the show they always used " Meanwhile back at the Ranch " to move the show along. I played hooky several times just to watch the show. You're not the only fellow to have trouble with the switcheroo. It seems popular elsewhere as well. Hope it works out well.
  14. The ring I found months later was a customers and I returned it, Big relief, newly weds were happy.
  15. A very complicated simple rifle.
  16. Welcome aboard.
  17. I found a diamond engagement ring in a house trap months after it was flush down a toilet bowl. It took a long time to travel for some reason. In the house trap, not the fixture trap. Good Luck.
  18. Going to break them down in a little while. Both rifles were as bought, no mods yet, to fixes. I'll be back.
  19. Finally made it to the range. It's a good thing I went to break in the barrels as the 600 yd range was locked up. Used the PSA 10 as issued or bought. No problems with it, other than it kicks just shy of a Garand. I bought along a RRA 223 and it's ejecting 1 o'clock. It works as well, not to my liking, but that'll work itself out. I had a youngster with me, more about that later. I need to tame the 308 as firing from the shoulder brings back fond memories and old pains. I finally used the lessons learned from a lifetime and was on paper immediately. Knowing I could only focus on my front site helped immensely. For the life of me I couldn't figure that out for far too long. The target is always going to be fuzzy, the front site is important. After packing the car for about a half hour I had to call it quits. Knowing I was going to forget stuff relieved me of some compulsion. Things I forgot, open chamber indicator, 30 cal brushes, water and cooler, camera, spotting scope stand, and hand cleaner. On the ride home, a 1 1/2 hr run, I noticed my nephew was conking out. I had my anatomy handed to me, between the heat, and sun, and excitement. I asked if he was tired, and at 24 yrs old he said he was pooped. That's good news because I thought I was tired because of my age 67. It's good to know I'm still hanging tough in spite of retirement. OOO rah!
  20. I see that left ramp is chewed up some.
  21. My wife and her sister have been showing interest in lessons, thanks for the reminder.
  22. Crazy yes ! Fun and exciting yes. I'm afraid to make a list, I don't want to know the expense.
  23. Beautiful picture, and your daughter has magnificent taste in accessories.
  24. ^^^ Now that's funny! Best of Luck.
