    I bought one when they were first released and had the exact same parts wear issues, a little worse than what was pictured with only 400 rounds through the gun.



  3. mike jr on November 10, 2021 at 7:14 pm

    They should really sell them with that handguards like that



  4. kieran vandalen on November 10, 2021 at 7:16 pm

    I have to get me copy of that combat shirt. What make is the one Mike using?



  5. iceisnice61 on November 10, 2021 at 7:16 pm

    Epic intro. Impressive and awesome review. Thank you.



  6. Cpt Adama on November 10, 2021 at 7:17 pm

    Are you still going to be using Bid Daddy for sponsorship since they have now come under scrutiny for copywrite infringement of the FRT trigger? Seems very likely they were since it’s only been a month since FRT has come under ATF siege, and they have a complete product ready for shipping already. Very sketchy and it stinks to the high heaven while they are selling a product while the originator is under attack.



  7. Rnchdrssng 762 on November 10, 2021 at 7:18 pm

    Does anyone know where the intro music came from



  8. Andre on November 10, 2021 at 7:19 pm

    THANK YOU I AM 19 LOOK FOR A RIFLE FOR HOME/ IF I NEED TO GO TO WAR N I WAS LEGIT LOOKING INTO BUYING THIS. THANKS FOR BEING HONEST!!!!! you might of saved my life



  9. Chris Wilkins on November 10, 2021 at 7:19 pm

    Cheaper AKs seem to have bolt wear issues. I had similar wear in a Century AK that I had to send back twice. Kind of hit or miss as to whether you get a good one or not.



  10. M M on November 10, 2021 at 7:21 pm

    17:41 You said it had good recoil, you never said that it had freaking *NONE* That’s not gassed well, that’s gassed *perfect*



  11. C.J Aroche on November 10, 2021 at 7:23 pm

    Dude this intro makes me want an AK🤣



  12. Greg Barrett on November 10, 2021 at 7:29 pm

    Time to call Brandon.



  13. DerekDanielDurbin on November 10, 2021 at 7:30 pm

    I bought the same AK your dad Travis has the Rifle Dynamics AKS74URD it was hand made by Jim Fuller it was the last one he did before leaving RD and starting Fuller Phoenix and after shooting that gun I can’t shoot anymore of my 74’s that’s the one I grab every time it’s expensive yes but it’s the only one you’d ever need if you should need to “go to the woods” for some reason. I’m glad you touched on needing American made kalashnikovs though because parts kits are getting ridiculously priced. Last thing I wanted to say is I have over 12k rounds through my AKS74URD and don’t have any wear resembling the type of wear that the PSA is showing after 2k rounds, that’s a huge let down I hope they fix it. Thanks for not being a shill.



  14. LostChild777 on November 10, 2021 at 7:30 pm

    Great gun, I want one myself!



  15. indiana banana on November 10, 2021 at 7:32 pm

    Lol he didn’t say the ak guy🤣💩



  16. Ohio 94 on November 10, 2021 at 7:34 pm

    PSA is good at the emotional sale by promoting an admirable mission and appealing to our patriotic/constitutional beliefs, but PSA doesn’t invest in proper building materials and quality control. Many other companies are good at the emotional pull but they also provide quality firearms. PSA has a long way to go. Their heart is in the right place, but the end product is not.



  17. Andrew Black on November 10, 2021 at 7:35 pm

    I had the same thing happen on my M10x as well.



  18. Controlled Chaos on November 10, 2021 at 7:38 pm

    3:15 that’s real my dog . Fuck them is right



  19. Morpheus Hill on November 10, 2021 at 7:42 pm

    Me- Been wanting an AK-74 for a long time but have not wanted to pay a shit ton for genuine AK’s
    Me- Oh look an American Made AK-74!!!!

  21. Hunt3r v2 on November 10, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    Ok this time i had to fucking subscribe , you got me there boss



  22. branden osborne on November 10, 2021 at 7:44 pm

    People say psa has awesome customer service. I have one of their ar 15s and it is awesome. I recommended the ar9 to my brother and it has problems. fires full auto and crazy wear on the bcg they did not care.



  23. The Horned One on November 10, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    I don’t have any PSA Aks but I have built several ARs from them and I’ve yet to have any issues with any of my guns. I have heard that their customer service can be crap but Ive not yet had to deal with them.



  24. Felixthecat93 on November 10, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    Where you get that outfit from tho!



  25. Drew Chorlton on November 10, 2021 at 7:46 pm

    Out of control!



  26. Spawn and Batman on November 10, 2021 at 7:46 pm

    Well I guess I’ll pass

  28. Kirby Dizon on November 10, 2021 at 7:47 pm

    this looks just like the ak12



  29. hypoallergenicPetGorrilla on November 10, 2021 at 7:51 pm

    What is the camouflage at 0:39?



  30. Mkvine on November 10, 2021 at 7:51 pm

    Wow that’s almost no recoil



  31. Uranium Fever on November 10, 2021 at 7:52 pm

    Can I put a Zenitco stock on this rifle



  32. J B on November 10, 2021 at 7:52 pm

    Garbage rifle and garbage company.



  33. Alex Maurice on November 10, 2021 at 7:52 pm

    Would y’all recommend the psa ak47s?



  34. Well Hello on November 10, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    Real talk does anyone know where I can get that top cover with the leaves he has on?



  35. orgazmatron30 on November 10, 2021 at 7:57 pm

    When he showed the trigger pull I almost came in my 511 pants



  36. Zach Plank on November 10, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    What a great situation and relationship, this is how gun problems get fixed and worked out



  37. 09crf250dreamz on November 10, 2021 at 7:59 pm

    Can anyone tell me what ghillie he was wearing in the intro? That thing looks sick



  38. Liberty Prime on November 10, 2021 at 8:00 pm

    That’s a really nice look for that rifle, hopefully PSA will fix those issues in later models.



  39. Mr. 305 on November 10, 2021 at 8:01 pm

    Please provide the name of the music in the beginning of the video



  40. miniion26 on November 10, 2021 at 8:02 pm

    The music is awesome! Not sure who the author is?



  41. Nate on November 10, 2021 at 8:03 pm

    This is why I trust you



  42. Nathan Lockwood on November 10, 2021 at 8:03 pm

    which lower handguard is that the B10 or 11



  43. wjjohns04able on November 10, 2021 at 8:06 pm

    They have a lifetime warranty so it would be cool to see how the repair process went and how it turns out afterwards. Would be really nice to see it after the fix and after 2000 more rounds because we need more high quality American made AKs, and we need to stand behind companies that support the 2nd amendment as much as PSA.



  44. Jakalamenmen on November 10, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    does anyone know what that mesh hoodie he’s wearing is?



  45. xander cage on November 10, 2021 at 8:07 pm

    bro are you wranglerstar’s son?



  46. Bobibo Billi on November 10, 2021 at 8:08 pm

    YamshalomShilimshlom!



  47. Randall Quick on November 10, 2021 at 8:09 pm

    This video made PSA go into full damage control lol



  48. Garand Thumb on November 10, 2021 at 8:10 pm

    The firing pin breaking was referring to PSA 74’s and not AK74’s in general



  49. Sawyer Bot on November 10, 2021 at 8:10 pm

    What was the song in the intro. That sounded sick.



  50. Foxtrot Delta on November 10, 2021 at 8:11 pm

    Based on the thumbnail I thought it was a PSA on AK74s
    Edit: Well it seems it’s a PSA on PSA AK74s
