Just starting a new AR-15 pic thread for lowers and their PSA artwork/variants
I have 4 of their limited editions so far (including the F15 on order) - what do you have?

Had them all at one pointâŚboxed, labeled, and alphabetized.
Sold some, still have a lot, but this is my favorite, even more so than my PFG.

I like the âVirginia 15â for the labeling of the safety - âSIC SEMPER TYRANNISâ ⌠odd duck that I am! God Bless America!

Yep. I agree. I think I ended up with 2 of those and I helped my father build one for himself. I donât think King Ralph appreciated PSA donating money to the VCDL from those either.

Is this the first one you guys came out with? Itâs so awesome I wish I could get my hand on one.

Yes, that was the first one. It was a limited edition, 500 made, less than that actually released to the public (PSA always keeps back a few in case of warranty issues, etc.).

So cool man, whatâs the story behind it? Excuse my ignorance if Iâm not putting together something?

It all started on arfcomâŚa member (HebrewBattleRifle) placed an order a few days before a holiday weekend (Memorial Day if I remember correctly). He then got mad because it didnât ship on Monday (again, holiday weekend) and made a post about it. It didnât go the way he thought it would, and he was the subject of a massive dogpile against him. In the process, he called everyone that was sticking up for PSA a bunch of âpoop flinging gremlinsâ. At that point, not only did @Josiah_PSA fire him as a customer, but then offered to make a custom lower in HBRâs honor. It was a massive hit, with Josiah having to PM people the link so that they could order one (since it was limited edition) rather than just putting it out there.
After the PFG, ideas started to roll. Another user (Brickwerx) stepped in and started doing artwork, and it went from there. I personally would like to know how much $$ HBR has made PSAâŚit has to be north of $500k just on meme lowers, perhaps even higher. And that is considering the original ones sold for $39.99.
I missed an important part: at some point people did a google search and found where he had done this same behavior before, I think it was about a year prior.

Omgđyou guys are awesome. Thankyou so much for sharing that with me. I wish I could have been apart of that experience, sounds like an epic moment in psa history. Iâm movie fanatic and absolutley love my 80s comedies. Gremlins is classic, love that itâs a Christmas time movie also.

There are a ton of ideas that havenât been made yet. They were rolling along steadily until covid. Like everyone in the gun industry, PSA is just trying to keep up with demand.
