PSA makes AK's Now!?

[Hayata]

Oh, and the kits are sold out right now.

They need to make one in 5.56, then, I'm fucking buying one...

Way too much.

Buy a WASR and do it right....or save a little bit more and get an Arsenal.

PSA screwed the pooch with those AKs. The barreled receiver isn't bad...I guess. Just have to see how well they hold up.

I never quite understood this. Part of the AK's reliability comes from having a tapered cartridge. Removing the tapered cartridge makes it on par with an AR, but ARs are typically lighter than an AK. I guess my problem is looking at guns from a utilitarian standpoint.

I have had issues in the past with feeding cheap tula and wolf through an AR. the AK handles it all though. so in a sense, you're recouping your costs for buying the AK (in addition to the AR that everyone and their brother owns) at $.10 per trigger pull.

I've never had a single hiccup with any 556 AK. I believe that this is a myth propagated by the "nyet, rifle is fine" crowd.

My problem is with the 7.62x39 round... It drops fast than the Chinese stock market. I like having one round for 2 types of weapons systems. And now that I think about it, PSA should make this in .308, they would sell the shit out of them, and its a tapered cartridge.

I guess it depends on what you think an intermediate cartridge is for. I don't pretend to know more than you do on the subject but I would think that inside 200 yards the 7.62x39 would be a bit better choice than the 5.56....but that's also based on close in, urban type environments like I currently live in.

It all boils down to personal pref. And the Indian shooting the bow... And it sounds like you know alot more about the AK platform than I do. I'd love to do a live fire MOUNT course AK vs AR with the points being accuracy and speed, and some sort of penertration test. ( i.e. car doors, sheetrock, glass etc.)

If their threads are concentric then it's worth it. But I don't know

I can't imagine what benefit there is to stuffing a .223 into an AK vs. an AR. Anyone?

 

[Hayata]

Let's just see 'em make one in 5.45x39 ala AK74.

My favorite line in that ad: "For best results, allow at least a 200 rounds for a proper break in."

I guess that's how you break in an AK. None of this shoot one round and clean the bore, shoot two rounds and clean the bore...

Eh...close in I'd think users very familiar with each platform would score very close to each other given the same level of skill. I'm more of a 5.45 AK74 guy myself. I just think an AR does a better job at being a 5.56 gun.

Lol I thought proper AK break in procedure was to load it and shoot it until it breaks in 30 years with occasional lube/cleaning...

In a fighting gun none....in a range toy ammo sharing

ammo selection. fun.

I own both but I much more enjoy blasting 400 rounds of 223 vs x39. I also don't think it's cool to have to water hose the corrosive shit out of a rifle right after the range (545)

Couldn't you do that out of an AR and have all of the advantages of the AR platform in 556?
