[DMR]

Just got a notification from CG&P selling these.



Then I read this:

interesting....I'm sure CGP would let you pull the top cover and bolt out to see if the sight block is crooked.

PSA just hasn't done a very good job with these AKs. Amazing that everyone seems to build ARs that are fine but AKs seem too difficult for big US manufacturers. I can't understand why since they are assembled by drunk Bulgarians and Russians and those work fine.

I like PSA and I'll continue to order from them, but I think they are very overrated. They have some good deals and that's about it. They don't live up to the hype imo.

So what would happen if your rear sight block is crooked and you continued to shoot it?

Nuclear war.



I don't think anything...there are many older WASRs running around with crooked everything.

Shoot around corners?

They pushed the release date back the first time for head space issues, now this. Not good for PSA AK's......

I personally don't get the point....especially when a WASR is cheaper...and better

I was thinking about saving up for one of these but now I think I am going to go with a C39v2 instead.

For some reason I like the milled receiver. I know that it isnt needed but I like it. I guess it will come down to what I can afford when the time comes.

Im not against a WASR, Ive had two but one had terrible mag wobble. I dont mind spending a little more for something a little nicer. Somewhere between a WASR and an Arsenal.

Side to side don't matter....really none of it matters as long as it feeds....just FYI. It is supremely annoying though.

I think that's part of why AKs aren't terribly popular. They are built to very different standards; if it works it's good. We expect more for our money...I suspect if WASRs sold for what they should, $400, there would be far fewer complaints.

Nothing directed at you, just an observation.

 

[AtlMedic]

I agree and the annoyance of it is what I dont like, thats why if I can spend an extra hundred bucks to avoid it I would.

C39 bc its 100% made in America.

When it comes to AKs that really isn't typically a good thing. That's an interesting conversation to have though...methinks I will start a thread.
