Quote HistoryQuoted: Not a huge deal but they should send the OP a few boxes of 556 and a new spring for his troubles. Everyone should have the know how to basically break an AR down and replace the components. Along with a good set of required tools to do so. Your life may very well depend on it one day. Wonder how that would work out LoL |

That sucks
That kind of stuff is the reason i don’t recommend PSA to new shooters. If you have experience messing with ARs its not a huge deal most of the time. Still a bummer though. |

Another factory built AR win!
Quoted: In fairness to PSA I didn't inspect the gun I just put a sight on and went to shoot it,in fairness to me it's a brand new gun I didn't think I needed to You shouldn't have to. You should, with high confidence, be able to buy a new gun, and expect it to work out of the box. I don't open up electronics, or toasters, or anything else for that matter. With AR's, I just prefer to build my own. ETA, and just save yourself the headache. Run up to the LGS. They should have the buffer retainer/spring on the shelf(like $6) Grab an AR castle nut wrench, cheepie or Magpul will work just fine and just fix it yourself. If you send it back, it'll be weeks until returned. |

I did that one time with a PSA build kit. Didnt quite get buffer tube far enough in. Bent my spring on first rack of the bolt. Probably should have replaced spring just half ass bent it back and guess what still working fine. I don’t see why you need anything other than a castle nut wrench to fix it.

Just leave the buffer retainer and spring out and shoot the thing.
It is an unnecessary part that causes problems. Why have one? |

The gun will run without a buffer retainer, I doubt it's "broken".
The receiver extension needs to be threaded in a turn or two. |

Had the same issue with mine after about 500 rounds. Had to dremel the tube to get a better fit when I fixed it.
Mine would also give me doubles and triples until I upgraded the trigger... Fun gun to shoot but took some work to get reliable. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You guys would seriously send it back for that? All that hassle on your end vs. turning in a threaded tube one more turn? I would notify PSA of the problem and request a gift card for the trouble. PSA would only help if you sent it back, and maybe send you a gift card or maybe not. In the end I would only send it back if I didn't want it, too easy to fix by yourself |

It shouldn’t have arrived to you that way. Period, full stop, end of story.

They forgot the roll pin in a gas block in a 16 556 upper I bought. I should have noticed when I inspected it. They offered to make it right but it's wasteful to mail a roll pin just to make a point. I was more concerned that the process engineers and quality inspectors were made aware to look for it in the future. We all know human inspection is 80% at best.
Edit: Wrong photo that was after I repaired it.  Attached File |

I got a parts kit box for every type of serious firearm I own. I started doing this after I lost a locking block spring for a P226 about 20 years ago. The spring fell out while I was putting the locking block in, I saw it hit the carpet and then I guess it fell into another realm because I never found it after about an hour of looking. I had to order a new one.
