>arsenal sells circle 10 factory made krinks and ak100 style guns in every caliber for 15 years
>no one wants them, discontinued
>x happens (video games, tarkov?)
>people are now hyped for worse US made copies
?
Now tell us how much the Arsenals cost.
I got mine for $1275, so not much more than the US made one.
$1275 10 years ago?
Nta but yes, he definitely got it like a decade ago.
Not gonna pay 3 grand for a factory sbr or heavy milled gun also arsenal no longer makes stamped guns so frick off.
You guys need to be nice to each other and make up. Bidens probably getting re elected and shit is gonna get real fricky here soon
Those weren’t AK-100 style rifles, they were AKS-74s and they weren’t discontinued, they ran out of the Soviet parts kits they were using to make them.
>Those weren’t AK-100 style rifles
>AK-100 style
>style
> Definiton 2. Style - a distinctive appearance
learn2english
Stop pretending to know what you’re talking about. One of you even posted photographic evidence that they’re different.
>different receiver
>different bolt pattern
>different stock angle
>different sights
>different muzzle device
You do know an AK-74M isn’t just an AKS-74N with black furniture, don’t you?
>Those weren’t AK-100 style rifles
They were, in fact they were so AK100 Izhmash sued Arsenal Bulgaria over it.
>No one wants them
You'll forgive me for not wanting to drop $2k in like 2017 for a 5.56 "Krinkov" built on a milled receiver
In 2017 you could get a 16" stamped 104ur krink for 1100 or a 106ur pistol for 700
Considering Arsenal has been reduced to making shitty "limited edition" and "only 200 made!!" $3000 milled ak's for every new release, them and those greedy fricks at K-Var can absolutely go frick themselves.
If that was really their best answer to nobody wanting their stamped guns, then I don't know how to solve that kind of brain damage.
sells circle 10 factory made krinks and ak100 style guns in every caliber for 15 years
bullshit. those frickers were rare as hens teeth. I swear those c**ts imported them like once every 5 years.
Can you stop posting dead racoons.
I really like every time this is posted. Great shot anon.
Here’s another picture for your enjoyment. My cousin and I shot 20 in one night. I had a suppressed .22, and he had a 12 gauge.
>arsenal
Lmao they're a trash company that sold them at a 5x markup. Even when Saigas were $300, Shartsenal was selling their Izhmash knockoffs for $1500+. I wouldn't even look at the prices these days, if you pay more than $1k for a gun you're a moron, $2k and you're a double moron. You're nor even getting a real AK100 with an Arsenal since Izhmash sued them and they had to make their designs proprietary. Yes, I rather would get 4 PSAs than fricking spray painted bulgarshit.
>Even when Saigas were $300
You mean sporter saigas that were nothing like a proper AK and take a specialized gunsmith to convert? Pre-converted saigas i.e. legion cost the same or more as an SLR of the time. Russian guns are also parkerized and spray painted. Your whole post is moronic
I converted mine with a drill moron. I wasn't about to pay $600 for a furniture kit, that was a lot of money before israelites wrecked the economy. I mainly opted for the sporter because you could get a universal stock mount that attached to the extra receiver holes and fold whatever stock you want in whatever direction you want. I still don't give a shit if it looks cool to a bunch of autists on an anime forum, Russian furniture configurations fricking suck.
>"No one wanted them"
Weren't they moronicly priced at the time and always released in "limited edition" batches?
Also I think you vastly underestimate how much gun culture has changed within the last 15 years. Shit, even 5 years ago gun culture was different. Gun culture went from being a whitetail deer hunting community that had guns to now every other person has an AR. 10-15 years ago, it'd be like "oh did you hear about Bob? He has one of them AR-15's!" To now all of my male coworkers have one lol. Gun culture went from "umm umm noo guys, these aren't assault rifles! Pls stop calling them that! They're sporting rifles for sporting purposes! Cmon liberals please believe me, please!" To what it is now "yeah they are assault rifles, what the frick are you going to do about it pussy?" I still remember that cringe video Robski from AKoperatorsUnion with his ultra thick Polish accent "AK47 isn't weapon! Is tool you guys! See?? It is tool not weapon!" That was the absolute state of gun culture back then.
>arsenal sells circle 10 factory made krinks and ak100 style guns in every caliber for 15 years
yeah and over that 15 year period they had, what, three dozen rifles for sale?
I heard they found a couple in the back of the warehouse.
"Special price" of... $5500!
>that rear trunion/foldy adapter bullshit
ywnbak74su
can someone explain to me the coping over the PSA krink from instagay gun pages and "AK enthusiasts"?
it's a 4.5mm receiver, anon
>can someone explain to me the coping over the PSA krink from instagay gun pages and "AK enthusiasts"?
Takes away/degrades their special snowflake status.
Its still a 4.5mm reciver moron, that's just a brace adapter
You can still install a triangle folder
are PSA AKs any good?? I have a wasr that kicks ass. Lmk. Im not a poorgay should I just get a chinese or russian AK
WBP Jack or nothing noob.
all ive heard from owners is good things. AK autists will tell you they suck tho.
If you're only going to put 1000 rds through it and then stick it in the corner of your bedroom, I doubt you'll know any difference between a psa and an actual, decent gun.
>I doubt you'll know any difference between a psa and an actual, decent gun.
Post your AK that you've put more than 1000 rounds through
True. But I remember people were shitting on PSA ARs and century Wasrs and both turned out to be fricking tanks.
>I think PSA has some good company values and drops good stuff, so I'm interested to buy what they're putting out personally.
I was thinking the same. The bare minimum with AKs is usually chromelined barrels and a forged trunnion. If they can deliver that and an AK that goes bang every time, im sold. Idc about rollmark autism
reply also meant for
>If you're only going to put 1000 rds through it and then stick it in the corner of your bedroom, I doubt you'll know any difference between a psa and an actual, decent gun.
psagays need to cope like this. Don't worry, bro... you bought the best you could afford. It's ok.
I'm not going to partake in the rabid insulting going on from both sides of this thread so instead I'm just going to say that I think you're terribly misinformed. PSA is a generally good company with a good track record for quality despite their price point. That's it. They're 'pretty good' for the price. I've also heard nothing but good things about their slightly higher end line of guns, which shows their potential as a manufacturer. They've proven with their Sabre and Jakl that they can be competitive with the other major names. They're a very solid choice for entry guns and even 'actual, decent' guns as you put it.
> They're a very solid choice for entry guns
You said it all right there - they're good for babby's first gun and then you move on to something better.
you do realize that what makes them good entry guns is the price. That's the only reason I would classify it as "entry level". Beyond that, the quality is excellent and should not be understated. Also, you neglect my point about their higher end line, which is also no joke and still remains relatively cheap for the quality.
Still very misinformed.
Cheap shit is always cheap shit and morons eat it up like candy, simple as.
there's plenty of torture test videos that prove you wrong 😉
I'm well enough off to buy up good DD rifles but still support PSA because their track record is undeniable and they're doing good things for the industry.
Ah, yes. Youtube torture test videos where the shill fills the receiver with cottage cheese or whatever. I love those! Did Hickock45 do any psa ak videos yet?
Their QC is dogshit and their guns are made out of pot metal.
If a company has worse QC level than Colt, then it'd dogshit. If it has non-milspec gov quality control, it's homie dogshit.
Now you're just being lazy. Hope you ND into your dick later
you're just being facetious at this point lol
there are plenty of people who've bought these and had few problems if any with their AKs. Quit being a snob
>If you're only going to put 1000 rds through it and then stick it in the corner of your bedroom
So like every other AK owner? Me included, hell I barely put more than like 200 rounds through my M10 (Wasr with weird sight gas block thing).
Just accept that guns coming off a machining center in Colombia SC, with barrels made from Outokumpu bar stock are gong to be better and cheaper than yours.
from what I gather they tend to be reliable guns. Of course, a russian and even some chinese norinco rifles will also be very good but it really just depends on what you want. I think PSA has some good company values and drops good stuff, so I'm interested to buy what they're putting out personally.
It depends on how much you care about the opinions of others.
Among gun culture, the AK gays are some of the biggest snobs this side of /ARG/ and act like it's still 2015.
American made AKs are no longer the new Glocknades, at least in the case of PSA.
Eventually even CAI will be g2g.
>Among gun culture, the AK gays are some of the biggest snobs this side of /ARG/ and act like it's still 2015.
Truth
I'm on their product page and haven't seen it.
Where would I find this?
>are PSA AKs any good
They're a lot better than they used to be but I still see plenty of posts various places at least once a week of somebody getting one with completely unacceptable QC issues.
The 7.62 ones seem to be the best (and they've been making those the longest so I guess it makes sense) and other calibers seem to be more likely to have issues, but none of them are guaranteed to be issue free.
Honestly I get the impression that a lot of the people who have them and are very happy with them simply do not shoot the guns very much. That's not to say that they're all lemons or whatever but a guy who buys it and spends the next 10 years putting 1000 rounds through it isn't necessarily gonna notice a heat treat or rivet issue like he would even putting 1000 rds through it a year.
Forgot to say: the odds of you getting one that is as solid as your wasr are not zero, but they are pretty low.
I'm sure there's a better value out there but mine's been solid so far. I only bought a GF3 with the nitride barrel because it's a beater gun for the range, but it's been a lot of fun and fills that role just fine. Spending north of $1200 to get a nice AK doesn't make sense to me when you can put that money into a more practical rifle.
Imagine not taking the AKpill. Have fun when your rifle breaks in SHTF.
Just two more weeks until the SHTF. Hope you have grand children you can leave your larper tools with and then they can also pretend that they're the main character preparin fur da big one
ok I accept this bait. How and why would it break
When tour AR falls apart due to being made of aluminum foil, then and only then will you morons understand the importance of proper metallurgy in a weapon.
you didn't even try with this bait, embarrassing
I will take my AK in to any scenario. I prefer the sights, ergonomics and it never fails me but my AR is great too (and the M16 in the military). Goes bang every time. Yeah steel is better than aluminum, even cast iron is better when it comes to engine blocks. But if the plastic assault rifles aren’t running into any serious problems, why is aluminum such a big issue? To my understanding only certain areas have to be more sturdy to handle high pressures
Oh yeah? Well my ReynoldsWrap-15 is reinforced with the best quality foil and not store brand like you've been buying so who's the butthole now?
I ask Evens yes odds no
They would easily be the best modern gun brand if they stopped using cheap Chinese butter steel.
they're probably learning how to do heat treat.
They don't disclose what grade of steel their AKs are made of which is concerning considering they beat themselves up internally early on. But on some of their guns they disclose the metal, for example the Dagger slide is all stainless steel. That's why it's so much cheaper than a Glock, they're making it out of a laughably shitty metal that guns shouldn't be made out of.
>the Dagger slide is all stainless steel
>they're making it out of a laughably shitty metal that guns shouldn't be made out of.
you do realize there are various forms of stainless steel, right? fricking zev slides are made of stainless steel
I hate you nogunz tourists so much it's unreal
Does not change the fact that PSA is using verified shitty metals for their guns. You can look up medium term reviews for the AKs and see they beat themselves to shit internally. This is the only issue with PSA AKs at this point, they've come a long way but they NEED to improve this important thing or they're always gonna be considered trash and I won't buy one.
Where can you find the info for Dagger steel? They seem to have turned out well. In any case they're cheap so I won't feel bad about using/abusing it.
So I dropped in a SS Lone Wolf barrel today to replace the threaded one it came with. Should a drop in barrel be a softer steel than the frame? Vise versa? Does it matter? No idea what the LW barrel steel is either but I'll look.
OK the LW is 416 stainless.
It's on the product page but all they say is "stainless steel." If you know marketing you know the less details they give, the shittier it is.
They are literally making guns out of 440 stainless steel like those shitty Chinese knives. There's the secret as to why they're so cheap. You should've known better, just as I stated in my reply above the less info they give the shittier it is. They won't even disclose how shitty the metal is that they make their AKs out of.
>They are literally making guns out of 440 stainless steel like those shitty Chinese knives.
still waiting on you back that up
>Does not change the fact that PSA is using verified shitty metals for their guns.
source: my ass
inb4 the finish isn't 100.01% accurate to REAL rossiya ak so it's SHIT and I can't shoot it because of it :((
>they would be the best modern gun brand if they weren't so shitty
>butter steel
Can I eat it?
They should clone the aug instead
>itt. Anons complaining that the cheap AK might be made for cheap too
I hear you Black folk constantly bring up how that was one of the AK's biggest strengths. And folks will gladly smack down 4 figures on some obscure variant made in 1978 by a half-blind grandpa in the Urals just for the aesthetics of the gun.
Making a cheap krink that probably didn't cost a whole ton to make should be fricking normal. That's how the real ones were made.
So when is this magical scenario where everyone's 2500 dollar rifle and 1500 dollar scope have to endure some extreme torture test outside of larping in the woods for the weekend?
What's the point of doing anything at this point if you're not striving for the absolute best?
That's true. What's the point of playing basketball if you're not wearing $500 Jordans?
>Jordans
>$500

Calm down mister. I'm sorry you have to pay more taxes on your already taxed money
>>Not even chrome lined
You planning on storming Luhansk? No? Doesn't matter and won't matter until far in excess of 10 000 rounds.
>$6500 worth of ammunition
You're trying to reason with morons that probably would pay for every add on the car dealership tries to sell them so that their car is "the best".
What's the point of getting PSA's Krink over PSA's AK pistol? They're both about the same size and neither are "authentic" AKs. Am I missing something or does PSA's Krink do something different than their AK pistols?
PSA's been neglecting their GF3's lately, or at least the one with the Polish style folder I've been looking at. This is like the third or fourth week of it being out of stock, they usually never take this long to restock, their Jakl's go out of stock and back into stock 3 times a week for comparison.
If worried about PSA quality, I'd say buy a kit that comes with a FN barrel, and you're good to go. Switch out the bolt carrier group if you are more worried. The barrel, bolt, and bolt carrier are the most important things in a gun followed closely by the magazine. I have not tested the PSA kit I bought enough for any reasonable conclusions. I already have a SLR-107 and a WASR, why do I need to buy one of their aks? What matters the most to me is ammo. I want 7.62x39, and I want it now!
