Kalashnikov to open factory in US producing AK

[ZA_Survivalist]

Yeah, you missed the sub-$500 DRACO run.

Or the $300-400 M92 & M85 run.
My M85 even came with 20-10rnd steel mags.. Not sure what I can do with them, but I got'em!

I hope they make millions of them to get the price of buying an AK back down to earth. I have been thinking of getting an Ak pistol but not for 600+ dollars.

Been living under a rock? I cant think of a time when AK's were cheaper than now.

FWIW, I think more American jobs producing guns by us for US is great.

I may have been thinking more like 10-15 years ago when they were mostly 250-300 Also I was talking about local private party sales seems like they are all wanting over 700 for them.

I remember being able to buy (and did) a NIB Polytech Chinese folding stock AK for $250 OTD, back in '89-'90.

Sheesh, those were the days!

I'm lucky my uncle jumped on that deal back in the day... I've benefitted from his foresight!

Log onto a site like AKFiles and you can easily sell a Polytech for like 5x to 7x these days.

I had a Hugarian SA85M, paid $450 for it new. I also had quite a few Norinco MAK 90 rifles, paid less than $275 bucks for them. They also came with mags , slings, bayonets, ect. All this was of course back in the early 90's, but my point is that not only were AKs cheaper, you also got a higher quality rifle. So not really living under a rock, just old with a long memory.

I would expect the American made AK to cost more than the imports, at least for a few years.

 

[jluck]

Yep. It's a bummer it's not 15 years ago any more. In fifteen years from now people will be glad they paid 500 now....

 

[drewp]

I like my american ak...haha
Noveske lower, tactical solutions upper....an ak47 doesn't have goodies like this...
And dont say the magazines dont work...the c products mags allow me to dump all 30 without a hitch.

Apparently PSA is going to start offering AKs with their logo on them soon. They will be built from NoDak Spud receivers.

[Sabertooth]

Is this something related to Saiga AK-47?

 

[Medic!]

I prefer foreign made foreign guns. What's wrong with getting a gun from where they come from?
I don't care about price. Or used. I want what I want!

They cant get their bubblegum right with the AR15 or the AR10. This can't go that well.

Wow, it seems all former military medics are spoiled brats!

 

[Medic!]

Ah Crap. I am a spoiled little titty baby! Just like the drill Sargent said.

 

[Stomper]

Hey, it looks like you know your place!

I have a PSA upper that I like a lot. What do you not like? Serious inquiry, not pulling your chain.

 

[Portaledgepete]

I have built quite a number of AR15s from PSA lowers and uppers and not one of them has had a single problem. I too would be curious to hear what these issues are that would make you say that they are building their rifles badly.

 

[PlayboyPenguin]

I don't know....why would we want to take a risk on some weird sounding start up like "Kalashnikov" when we already have the world's greatest producers of AK's, Century Arms. If you don't believe Century Arms is the best, just ask any of the YouTube people they are paying to say that.
