PSAK-47 GB2 MOE rifle - a great American AK?

[MRH]

It seems to have all the makings of a a truly great Ak rifle. I guess we will see...This short write up and spec sheet looks and sounds pretty good. America's latest AK offering:

Cool, PSA needed this. Never owned an AK but would consider this

American AKs suck. Just like Russian ARs suck.

Okay

Russian ARs??? But yeah I've heard that a lot about American AKs. And it was something like close to a year since they introduced their AK with a bunch of hype and publicity. Then it just kinda dropped out of sight maybe a few weeks after they advertised them for sale on the PSA site. So what happened? I'm guessing they had some issues to deal with.

So the front trunnion will not crack like cheap Korean cast ones in Version 1 PSAK?

Meh...I have never doubted that America will eventually produce great AK's. If some of those third world **** holes can make good AK's, I am plenty confident that we can too.

The new design is apparently much better built.

I am still not sure about a non-chrome lined AK, though.

Spend the same money and buy a VEPR, then you will have a real AK.

PSA's AK is the only American AK to make it thru Rob's 5K test so far. so it is a survivor.
