Hiring a pornstar as their spokesperson.Tagged for interest, I don't know why they should have that much trouble.
the price on aks nearly quadrupling in the last 20 years hasn't helped when the price of ARs has been cut in half.PSA upping their AK game for less cut into KUSA’s business, for one thing.
Yes, definitely, and make sure to bump it for 9 months like that SAM7R in the classifieds.So I should put mine on here for $3k right?
I missed the pornstar which one was that? I am not up to date.Hiring a pornstar as their spokesperson.
Belittling their own customers on social media.
Putting out a PCC they had to recall.
Taking money for pre-orders and never delivering the guns.
Spotty QC.
I'm sure I'm missing some more.
That’s a big reason I don’t own an AK. Years ago, I prioritized AR’s and figured I’d get an AK at some point. Well those $250-300 AK’s are a thing of the past, not to mention the lack of cheap 7.62. Now owning an AK is a pricey addition to the safe.the price on aks nearly quadrupling in the last 20 years hasn't helped when the price of ARs has been cut in half.
I admit i don't know anything about pricing... but it's real hard for me to see cheap peasant rifles selling for 1200+
and yeah, especially when PSA is gonna crank them out at a much lower price.
I’m guessing it was Bonnie Rotten.I missed the pornstar which one was that? I am not up to date.
It's just a vibe.Here is my real question to all you AK lovers.
Why?
I understand it’s super reliable and all, but it’s old and outdated, and uses a long stroke piston system.
There are many modern short stroke systems available in all common calibers. Same reliability and ruggedness, less recoil impulse.
So, other than for a nostalgic experience, why?
This is like asking the people on here who drool over revolvers why thy like outdated low capacity designs when Glocks exist.Here is my real question to all you AK lovers.

Oh, that reminds me. They put out a promotional pic with her a while back where she had a 7.62x39 gun with a 5.45 magazine in it. Wasn't even completely locked in. Their social media hamsters went ballistic on anyone who pointed it out. Then their house harlot went and posted thisI’m guessing it was Bonnie Rotten.
Supposedly she quit porn when her butthole prolapsed and fell out and now is a hardcore gunner…. Except she is anti 2A. As in she shoots competitively but loudly decries about how nobody needs a gun and the .Gov will protect you.
Old and outdated mean nothing, when the said thing keeps working for you... I carry a Glock sometimes, but frequently carry a 1911 or revolver and am fine with those as well.Here is my real question to all you AK lovers.

There is a big difference between obsolete and obsolescent.Old and outdated mean nothing, when the said thing keeps working for you... I carry a Glock sometimes, but frequently carry a 1911 or revolver and am fine with those as well.
Plus as a lefty, they have always been easy to run for Me.
The AK....
Old? yes.
Outdated? yes...
Obsolete? no.
I'd argue the AK isnt even Obsolescent, worldwide.There is a big difference between obsolete and obsolescent.
The AKM is obsolescent, especially the clapped out ones that just need put out of their misery.I'd argue the AK isnt even Obsolescent, worldwide.
Legitimate question, discounting clapped out ruined models, what is the functional difference between an AKM with modern upgrades, side rail, all that jazz and say, an AK-103?The AKM is obsolescent, especially the clapped out ones that just need put out of their misery.
The modernized AK-74s and AK-100 series are not. One of the platforms biggest hang ups has been mounting things (lights/lasers/etc) and having them hold zero.
You can get around that now with Zenitco and Midwest Industries parts for sure. But the AKM has been done much better by other countries (Valmet, Galils, SA R5s, Sig 550 series). Is the platform as a whole obsolescent? No. But just like M16A2s and the earlier iterations of AR there are better choices. Especially in this country for the cost of the platform
One if the reasons I like it is because I can stay objective and maintain a cheek weld while cycling the bolt or swapping magazines.Here is my real question to all you AK lovers.

Yikes, her flavor of porn is pretty awful. Looked it up on wikipedia.I’m guessing it was Bonnie Rotten.

I would say one just isn’t 50+ years old. I think the different calibers is a big one. It doesn’t make sense economically to redo a beat to death receiver with new rivets and barrel when there are new rifles.Legitimate question, discounting clapped out ruined models, what is the functional difference between an AKM with modern upgrades, side rail, all that jazz and say, an AK-103?
Not alot from a user perspective.
Looked it up on wikipedia.
The biggest visible difference between an AKM and a 103 is the gas block and muzzle brake. AKM patterns tend to have a 45 degree block and slant brake (1/2x28 or 14lh) while a 103 has a 90 degree block and a 24x1.5 threaded brake.Legitimate question, discounting clapped out ruined models, what is the functional difference between an AKM with modern upgrades, side rail, all that jazz and say, an AK-103?

Again, KUSA's management is so bad, they can't even pick a good porn starYikes, her flavor of porn is pretty awful. Looked it up on wikipedia.
For real, I did. There's actually a page there.Sure buddy.
Indeed, the brake is a difference, and there are also modern brakes that work with the older thread style that are atleast as efficient as the AK-74 types... the gas block shape is really more of a cosmetic thing on the end user side of things.The biggest visible difference between an AKM and a 103 is the gas block and muzzle brake.

I could tell a noticeable difference in reduction of recoil with the 90 block and brake as opposed to a normal one. Aside from that, function is the same.
Them same problem exists with the M16 series, sure an M16A1 is WELL over 50 years old, but if, once again, we are not talking about ruined examples, it is still useful.I would say one just isn’t 50+ years old.

End users wouldn’t know the difference I agree. But economically is where the point becomes more pronounced.
