Buyer beware, if you see anything on the Centerfire Systems site listed in ""as is"" condition it means the item may not actually be functional nor can it be made functional.
I ordered 12 PSL magazines, and upon arrival found that the followers only moved on 4 of them - the rest were firmly rusted in place and even with a punch/hammer would barely move. Centerfire Systems ignored my e-mail inquiries, and when I called them they said that yes it was expected that complete dis-assembly, cleaning, lubrication and reassembly would be required for these magazines - even though that was not mentioned anywhere in the ad. They refused refund/exchange for the magazines and went on to tell me about how great of a deal I got since nobody else has the magazines available, and if I managed to find a clean working PSL mag it would run $40+. I did a quick search and found multiple other vendors have magazines in stock and available for only a little more than Centerfire, they even properly detailed the condition of the magazines unlike Centerfire.
I spent hours getting the 4 semi-working magazines ripped apart, wire brushed, ultrasonic cleaned, lubed and re-assembled - but they were only rusty and greasy with a little drag on the follower. 4 of them I get to spend multiple hours cleaning up hoping they reassemble in working condition, and 4 of them are rusted and malformed so severely it would be impossible to make them functional (rust between the layers of steel is creating large bulges in the magazine body).
Basically they are selling a crap product and know it, so they are selling ""as is"" without letting the customer know that the product is very likely impossible to repair into working condition. They're crooks.
