Think I'd rather have an AR-15 chambered in 7.62X39. Friend of mine has a Radical chambered in it, and it shoots impressively tight. We ran it out to 700 yards before it ran out of gas.

The PSA AK is considered to be one of the best currently built. I did months of research before I bought one. There are plenty of reviews, range reports and torture tests for you to spend hours reading. I feel like mine was $459 well spent. 
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

Their price is right for sure PSA has my ear A true beater, may even paint the next one (I swore I wouldn’t) My dad has carried an old SKS behind his rear seat for id bet 30 years

They sucked me in with their 9mm pistol AK, and it is a lot of fun ...but (even in 7.62x39), I still prefer the AR. 10.5" 7.62x39 ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/jKHvArs.jpg)

I built a PSA AK 47 and it was a good AK with the aftermarket trigger making a lot of difference (ALG about $65?). I sold it as I guess I am an AR guy. I then built a PSA AR 47 and I love it. Put a muzzle brake on it with some other after market items.
It's not what you say, or think, that counts. It is what you DO!

IMO
they are a POS, ammo eater but this is what makes them appealing to many a magazine dumper.
BUT
I would NEVER tell any "good guy" they shouldn't buy one.

From all the reviews by people who know much more than me, it sounds like they are building them right. Good forged trunnions and barrels. No real major issues. Really good price. Also keep in mind PSA bought DDI, a very reputable AK builder, a few years ago.
I am not really an AK guy, but if I were to get into one it would be either a PSA or a WASR 10.
Also their shorty with the triangle folding brace looks pretty good. That would get my vote for a truck gun.

Not sure what the internet megaphone is belching these days - but I know four people who own, shoot them a lot - and still like them. All four recommended going PSA when I was looking at buying a WSAR AK.
