Hey BrickWurx! If you aren't too busy and it isn't too much trouble, could we get a version of the VA lower with "Virtue-15" instead of "Virginia-15", and with "VA" as the serial prefix?
Thanks boss! You're the best |

@GamecockOperator
I called PSA in Columbia (as it passed the 6-week mark for minuteman) they told me there was an issue in engraving and they had to remake a number of lowers. not sure if that includes yours. I was told another two weeks |

Does PSA price match? As in can I get the MBUS set at my local PSA for the price online and save the shipping?

Also does anyone know how the “unconfirmed” list works? I haven’t been around long enough to see one go from there to “confirmed”. Does it go top down or does PSA pin one based on demand?
If the latter I’d be willing to make a poll list for lowers. I’ve got a lot of downtime at work |

I'm hoping they jump the line with the M16A2 lower. Aero makes an M16A1 lower, but I'd much rather have an A2 marked.

I'd be surprised if they didn't have to add a few lines and buy some additional machines just to keep up with the insane demand that a bunch of dorks like us created. It's been good for their business I have no doubt, and it's been great for us as well.

I'm sure their annodizing tank can only process a given number of lowers at any given time, so let's assume that number is 500, or maybe even 1000. Would we want them to hold on to all of a given lower (Yeet Cannon) until every last one was finished an ready to ship, or would it be better to go ahead and send the finished ones to shipping so they can go ahead and get them processed and sent down the road? |
