mley1 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hello everyone. I'm listening to hurricane Harvey's storming weather outside as I type this. My name is Marty Ley. I've used AR15's for many years, but had never owned a .308 AR styled rifle, until now. I've ordered one from PSA. I get their sales emails, and I couldn't pass up their summer hunting sale on their PA10 uppers and a lower. Both together were only about 580.00 shipped. They were supposed to arrive today. Unfortunately, hurricane Harvey has seen fit to delay that UPS delivery. So, I'm hoping to lay hands on my new PA10 next week sometime. In the mean time I'll be happy reading and learning about them here. Thanks y'all, Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Welcome aboard, weather that storm, and make sure you check out their (PSA's) Manufacturers Section - there are a couple guys right now providing some very valuable insight on those PSA rifles. https://forum.308ar.com/forum/135-palmetto-state-armory/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be receptive an open-minded and you'll have a blast while you build an arsenal Try ... to stay dry Can't deplete what ya don't have!! Here lately my kids(18 and 20yr olds) seem to need rescuing by daddy on a regular basis. Last night, during torrential rains, my 18yr old son decides to take his friend home. Being dark, and pouring down rain, he couldn't see well while backing his truck. And, he backed into the right rear of my truck. Now we both have dented up trucks!! If it weren't for mistakes like that in my family I'd have a lot more fun money!! I hope your doing ok up in Pasadena during this storm. Looks like we're gonna get a lot more rain before it's over.

Our street is flooded a little, but we're ok. We haven't lost electricity yet. I gotta get ready for work today. I'm a corrections officer at a prison hospital in Texas City. I work 1:00-10:00pm. So I'll probably head out a bit early due to the weather. If you don't have to work, hunker down and stay safe! Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very familiar with the TDCJ facility in Texas City. Before I retired I laid a few detainers on some that went through there on occasion. That is a low area so be careful when you drive home.

Boot_Scraper Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Welcome from the other side of the Sabine River!! I bought a PA-10 upper and lower that has turned into a custom build, thanks to the fine regulars on this site. Building it is 90% of the fun for me.
