Palmetto State Armory or PSA has built quite the reputation over the last few years of giving the gun community exactly what it wants. What is that you may ask? A variety of popular firearms like the AR15 and AK (with more cool stuff coming) at very reasonable prices. PSA is one of the first companies to offer U.S. made AK's to fill in the void left by sanctions imposed on Russia. Early on PSA AK's had their share of problems, but they're at generation 3 of their rifles and that's what I'm taking a long hard look at. How do Palmetto State Armory AK's stack up to the competition?
If you carry a gun for personal defense, you need to be protected from lawsuits or criminal charges should you need to use your firearm defensively. I recommend USCCA: tracking.deltadefense.com/aff...

In a PSA interview, the PSA rep said they could not manufacture cleaning rod in house at low enough cost, and would rather use time and equipment to manufacture other AK parts better and less expensive.

@yissnakklives8866 4 года назад

Wonder how many people actually use the built in cleaning rod (for AK's that have them). My WASR has one and I've removed it once to change the furniture.

@grenmoyo3968 4 года назад

It definitely is only on my sgl for the purpose of keeping everything together. I used the thing once and realized that while it works it bleeds the cold war Russian dogma of "good enough" and I'd rather just use something like a snake or something. If I get a really really stuck case I might use it again as a means to push it out. Otherwise the rod has never been removed. There are better stuff for cleaning out there.

@stuartdodson6630 4 года назад

Nice. I was thinking it was because everybody puts on a different muzzle device that prohibits the removal of the cleaning rod.

Just frustrating that I got a tracking number a week after placing order but it apparently sat in a loading bay for many days marked "ready for UPS to pickup". That's frustrating considering I couldnt find out what was going on, whether UPS had the package and lost it or if PSA said they shipped it but actually did not. The latter is what is happening but good luck getting any info out of PSA in a timely manner. I totally understand that they are pushing out large volumes of product but they surely make enough money to install an adequate shipping department.

@Eugene Stoner Granted, but for my usage 5K is enough for me to put my money down and buy one, even in a extended SHTF situation I highly doubt I will put that many rounds down range and even if I did that much shooting and fighting I'd probably be dead long before I hit 5k out of it. Also it's not like the rifles were worn out/destroyed after the tests, both were fully functional with no major parts wear after the 5k so who knows how many more they could take. We are not talking about a Rifle that is being issued out of Armory stocks to 3+ generations of soldiers for 30 to 50 years, like my M1 Garand which has probably been arsenal rebuilt several times in its life.

All honestly I probably will never put enough rounds through it to break it, I only have about 250 though it now, I don't have the time or money to shoot 10k rounds out of it.

With their switch to forged parts, lifetime warranty, American made, and good price even at 800 I really hope these guys stay around and become the go to first AK for new gun buyers. I'd rather have the lifetime warranty than a 500 century

Are the upcoming PSA 103 "Klones" going to be shorter LOP and shorter overall length than the current GF3/AK-E? I'm personally looking forward to the JAKL in .300BO more so than the vaunted PSA5 or any other upcoming release. Stay classy my friends. EDITED for double spacing.

@thesoundofsilence1860 4 года назад

The reason they don’t offer the cleaning rods is it will take many man hours to make and they are already slammed with orders and up and coming designs. Bc these are American ak’s they can’t use counter male threaded cleaning rods from surplus cleaning rods. So u want more designs and guns offered or do u want a $6 piece of metal under the barrel?

@JR15A2 4 года назад

@@ostiariusalpha Maybe you can explain further, but I seem to recall the price being that low at the time I'm thinking of (80's) because no one wanted them except for folks who couldn't afford anything else. I'm not really amazed that they were once that cheap for what they are. What amazes me is that anyone in their right mind would pay what they sell for today. The same is true for Mini 14's now as well. Why do people pay so much more now for what used to be the poor man's low cost alternative?

@ostiariusalpha 4 года назад

@@JR15A2 The Combloc nations had produced millions of them during the Cold War, and when that ended, they were desperate for cash. So they actually sold them to importers at, or less than, what it cost to make them in the first place. So it was a combination of undervaluing, oversupply, and low demand that set the price early on.
