Palmetto State Armory Policy Change for VZ2008

paintballg36fun · Feb 5, 2015

Hello,
All,
I know there is a lot of people who dislike Palmetto State Armory, however there was a recent change in Policy for them for there VZ2008.
Before they would not ship the VZ2008 to MD however this week they have changed this. They will now ship the VZ2008 to MD without mags.
I do not represent them in any way. Just thought this would help some of my fellow Marylander's who are stuck.
I think this is a good deal right now.

but this is only my opinion and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn

Please be known they are slow with shipping.

Nice update. I hope they extend this policy to their PA-10 rifle too.

As per the VZ2008, it's a good option. Mags, when one can find them, are going for $20-25/each. IPs are currently selling the VZ2008 for about $500, including 3 mags. So the PSA price will be pretty close with transfer fees and mag purchases (maybe a bit more hassle then getting one, all included, from an IP).

Btw, how did you find out? Did you personally call or hear from others? Just wondering if someone has perspective on the PA-10/AR-10 situation as well.

So will they send them with the mags along if the gun goes to a out of state FFL? I want to have it sent to a VA FFL.

Where can magazines be purchased in free America?

Is the policy change noted on their web site or who would one have to speak with to ensure they will ship to MD? Thanks for the info

It is a good news that PSA will ship VZ2008 to MD without mags.

Yes, Engage Armament has the VZ2008 for $499.99 PLUS TAX, but the mags are pinned to 10 rds?

So you would save anywhere from $50-$75 bucks vs buying from local if you are willing to wait.

IF Gary @ High Rock Outfitters gets some more in, and IF you can drive to Hanover PA, he was selling vz2008s as recently as a month ago for just under $500 with 3 mags included.

You guys need to be looking over your VZ2008 very carefully before purchasing.

I looked at one in PA yesterday and the front sight was canted a good 3 to 4 degrees to the left when it was installed.

Was impossible to get a decent sight picture without canting the entire rifle.

A fluke? Maybe.

Perhaps it was "modified" by this company?

I've heard that from several people. Luckily it was easily fixed. The sights on mine are dead on. Haven't had a single issue with it.

I inquired about the rifle last week and they first said no, however I received an e-mail a day or two ago about the change.

Awesome. Thanks for the follow up. I hope this means there might be the potential for change on the PA-10.

It's nice to see that they apparently put some kind of effort into finding out that it was ok to sell these to MD. Lot of companies will just say no and never do anything about it.

Thanks for the heads-up about checking the front sight.

I'm glad they don't sell the PA10 to MD. Any lower that claims to take AR15 FCGs that require one to grind up a geissele to fit is something one should ponder over. Especially a company like PSA who have awful C.S.

ken792 · Feb 6, 2015

I just called them and they said that it's still company policy that they will only send firearms to an FFL in your state of residency.

That's not the policy change that the OP was referring to. Just that they would now ship them to MD where they wouldn't before.

Yeah, I just forgot that they had that policy. I'm going to need to get someone with a VA billing address to order it to a VA FFL for me.
