I wonder if they'll plan to sell PSA Ak47 receivers and build kits like they do for AR's? Might be a fun build.

 

[NoFlinch]

Any idea of the $$ required to purchase?

Any idea of the $$ required to purchase?

$750 I believe

 

[NoFlinch]

OUCH!

That's crazy.........but there are buyers................

 

[bakersman345]

Lots of buyers, its a nice looking American ak-47. People pay over a grand for arsenals why not $750 from psa. If its an AK I'm not paying more then $550 but that's because for anymore then that I can build a nice ar-15

 

[Martini_Up]

750 and no cleaning rod

 

[JoeZeon]

Have to wait and see on this one. PSA makes some great products but this is some real uncharted territory.

They say it's all 100% new manufactured parts, but they're using the old style gas-block? Don't get me wrong, I much prefer the look of the old style gas-blocks, but I'm having a hard time believing they're making them from new manufactured parts.

[IronMonster]

Was the receiver in stock when you looked? If so what was the price?

Id like to try my hand at putting together an AK.

 

[bolus]

I believe $250. so about $600 to buy it in parts minus magazine

I think you (in particular) should go at it via the receiver flats and bend up your own and rock and roll, since you already excel at metal-craft.

I bought a used HF 20-ton shop-press not too long ago with this in mind, but first I'm going to mill up the two forged 80% AR lowers I just ordered up.

 

[IronMonster]

Yeah I would like to do that too, and eventually scratch build a AK lower, but this seems like it would be a great place to start.

I am not a AK guy. I have owned a couple (actually I guess I own one now but I haven't even seen it in half a dozen years) So starting with one that is more or less just fitting the parts would get your feet wet and confidence up.

 

[Stomper]

Meh, if half-starved, uneducated, vodka soaked peasants can pound them out from sand and gum wrappers, I'm sure you'd do just fine.

barreled receivers back in stock
<broken link removed>

$260 for receiver, $200 for basic parts kit.

[IronMonster]

Dang it I was too slow. Out of stock again

 

[IronMonster]

The barreled receivers could still be had, I bought one

 

[JDAVIS]

what was the price on the barreled receiver if you dont mind me asking?

 

[IronMonster]

About $290 with the ridiculous shipping charges ($259 without if I remember right)
