HBAR not needed because it's 308?

Abso-lutely

Also, Classic has them in black AND FDE right now, for those of you who might be interested in a roller-delayed G3 clone for less than a middle of the road SKS...

PSA's PSA-308 for $699? Screaming deal on an AR-10. I've been thinking about getting a lower and starting to build one, but even with the best deals I can find on parts I don't think I can build one sans optics for less than $800.

I placed the order with PSA. A few days latter I received an email from them from the compliance department. I was told that they don't ship complete rifles to MD. Damn that sucks!

This has been a problem for some time. They won't listen to reason either. That's why many here won't buy anything from them.

Crazy! The search for my 1st .308 continues.

Why not buy something used? Most folks will ship a rifle to Maryland. I just bought a modified PSA AR308 from an individual. I paid $600 for it, I think. Have it shipped to one of our IP vendors on the forum and come in, fill out 1 form and walk out with it that same day (presuming you don't get a delay).

Go to Gunbroker or look on other forums. People are selling them every day.

If there would happen to be a future parts failure of some kind with Classic's C308 rifle, generally speaking, are spare parts for this firearm easy to get? Would the parts be reasonable in cost?
Thanks!

Try Jlowe. John was able to bring in a AR15 pistol lower for me and he had some AR9 lowers a while back. I would have picked up the extra unit if the wife was not around. :innocent0

Always something to see a Jlowe's with prices that are hard to beat (Think $499 WW AR-15 last Memorial weekend).

Blue Fins brought me in a AR9 pistol lower when I got the same reply from PSA.

The bolt parts and a bunch of other parts are original Cetme parts. If something were to break they should be easy enough to find. I bought a Cetme parts kit incase that were to happen. PTR actually puts these together for Century and does the warranty work on them.

Yeah those $500 Windhams were bananas. Amazing deal!

I can bring in most anything from PSA for you. You just need to place the order with me and I will take care of it.

I sent PSA an email and got back a response this morning. Doesn't make sense to me but here it is.

Good Morning

I apologize for the inconvenience. Our restrictions are recommended by our legal team and passed to our compliance and customer service to insure they are followed,. Unfortunately we do not get further information as to why a restriction has been put in place. However there are a couple ways for you to receive a PSA firearm. The PSA restictions for Maryland are as follows.

10 round magazine limit
no handguns not on MD handgun roster
no threaded barrels
no complete AR lowers
no complete AR/ AK style firearms

You can either purchase the stripped lower and build the rifle., or you can contact your FFL and have them order the rifle (they are exempt as an FFL) and then you can purchase the firearm directly from you. Again I apologize for the inconvenience but I hope you are able to get the firearm you wish using the available options I have mentioned in this email.

Thank you for choosing Palmetto State Armory.

Best Regards,
Dave

So what they are saying is that you can't buy one and have it shipped to your FFL, but your FFL can order it for you and they will ship it to Maryland.

I guess their lawyers graduated from the ACME Law School.

Think I'm ready to pull the trigger on one of these. Black Market Arms the place to buy from?

And the rebate should be fine as long as I buy beforel Aug 1, correct?

Make sure your FFL will do the transfer.

FFL out of state so I don't think it should be an issue. Will verify regardless.

Then you will be responsible for any legal action if it is determined the banned list of firearms is correct. Remember, this firearm is listed by manufacturer's name and model number on the list of banned firearms. My usual FFL will not transfer them. From this thread, it would appear that most FFL dealers won't transfer them.

Caveat Emptor.

My friend Fuk Yoo M.D. just Told me the C308 deal is back

tomandjerry00 · Jul 24, 2017

I guess consensus is these are a no go then? That is extremely unfortunate. I'm withholding stronger words...

At that price, I'm tempted to buy my cousin one as a gift.

Anyway to get this rifle approved on the roster?

j_h_smith · Jul 24, 2017

I was hoping that someone from Duffy's would explain how they have sold them in the past. I think I remember someone saying that Blue Fin also has sold them in the past. If neither of these 2 dealers have sold them, I apologize.

All I'm asking is someone (ffl dealer) explain how these are legal to be sold.
