Palmetto State Armory Policy Change for VZ2008

[Arcamm]

Not a bad deal if you don't need the mags. Anybody test this yet?

 

[TapRackBang]

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.

I think that's called a straw purchase. Why not just have the VA FFL order it?

Yeah I was gonna say

Not a straw purchase because I'm the one filling out the Form 4473 and am also the end user.

Edit: And the FFL will order it for me without an additional fee, so that makes it way easier.

 

[ericoak]

I don't know how it is a straw purchase if the person who ordered it never fills out the paperwork?

id be interested to see who has put this to the test as well.

i've already got one purchased locally but, i'm not opposed to getting another if the price is right

 

[ken792]

The person who orders it in that case also isn't taking possession of it. All that person is doing is having it sent to an FFL. Then, the FFL does his thing with it.

Nice update. I hope they extend this policy to their PA-10 rifle too. ....... Just wondering if someone has perspective on the PA-10/AR-10 situation as well.

Bollinger had a deal on PA-10 lowers a while back, seems like they have a relationship with them.

That ain't what I would call a straw purchase. It's not if the one intended to take possession of is the one getting the NICS check.

Good idea on the VA FFL, though. Big Dog's would probably be glad to help, and they know what's legal here.

This is good news, but by the time you pay the transfer fee and shipping you're way better off to just buy from an IP and get some mags as well, IMHO.

I was just doing the calculation. 100% agree. And you still have to go fishing for mags. A LOT of places won't ship to MD residents regardless if OOS.

Get one from an IP. Your time is running out.

I'd like to hear from the ones that have purchased VZ2008's from PSA and how they performed on the firing range. How many had malfunctions, if any?

 

[Arcamm]

OT, would a V2008 from PSA be any different than one from a local IP?


$380 for the rifle, $17 shipping and $15 to transfer is $412. If local is $500 OTD, you're saving $88. Only good if you already have a bunch of mags or can find them for less than $29 each. Or if you like waiting two to infinity weeks to get one.

 

[shubin6]

Now the cost might be $500 + transfer + tax, if local.

There is a topic at CZ Forum, but we do not know if they brought the VZs from
PSA:

Well, I tested them. Placed an order on the 6th. Got an auto-confirmation after I placed the order. I got an email from then this morning:

Hello,

The firearm you ordered is authorized but the Magazines cannot be shipped due to state restrictions, please call or email us to verify you still want this purchase without the magazines. Your order is on hold until we hear from you.

NOTE: There will not be any change in costs, no substitution of magazines, nor will we ship the magazines to another state.

Please respond by email or phone within 5 business days to resolve/complete your order.



Thank you

Looks like they might actually ship.

 

[ken792]

My VA FFL ordered mine this morning. Let's see how long before it arrives. Fortunately, I can walk right down the hall to pick it up once it does and test it out on my lunch break by going downstairs to the range.

Still wouldn't buy from them

I have two, and purchased my second from PSA. Bone dry out of the box. Added lube, and it works flawlessly. No canted sights.

Perhaps it was "modified" by this company?

That made me laugh out loud.
