I won't do optics or rails on an AK. Can't stand them. The only "different" look I want on an AK is the Hungarian forward slant grip. I also like all the different wire folders and wood stocks as well. That could change, and knowing me it will. I originally hated the Hungarian AKs. Now I 5 or 6 of them. They grew on me... I will say that wood folder is different as well, and I am liking it. |

How long did it take for PSA to ship your Krinks?
I ordered mine on the 7th, got the email confirmation and since then haven't heard a peep from them. |

View Quote 7 days if I am not mistaken. I didn't order the first day they hit. It was a few days later when I had finally talked myself into it, and found it IN Stock. My SN is 005xx which I assume is one of the first 600 made. I was thinking there would have already been thousands and thousands of these sold and shipped?? I wonder how PSA decides the number of on hand rifles they need before they start shipping? I would love to tour their facility one day... |

View Quote From the pictures posted, it looks like Sajer's is in the 500ish range as well. Yeah, a PSA factory tour would be awesome. You could probably make a week out of it with everything they have going on. That probably would be a really cool place to work in an IT capacity or something like that (IT generally gets all-access in every place I've worked in IT. ). |

So in PSA's AK line up: GF3 = Nitride Barrels GF4 = PSA Chrome Lined Hammer Forged Barrels GF5 = FN Chrome Lined Hammer Forged Barrels Would this be correct? |

As I understand it, yes. Trigger upgrades also, both PSA EPT and the ALG trigger, along with some furniture upgrades. |

I'm hoping to get one of these this year and then get a Sureshot Krink chassis on it.

Is anyone still watching for these to pop up? Are they listed daily or just once a week? Is it 3 o’clock?

@MGYSGT8541
I think I saw in the PSA industry krink thread that you got the Voodoo version? If you already have it, what do you think of the wood? Pics please Sir!! |

An actual Krinkov would be full auto, and illegal to import. You can build a copy, but it's still not the real thing. It's childish to say you can't call it that. Hell for that matter, the khyber pass guns are "Not real" and are all copies built in dirt floor machine shops. I think all the adults understand this |

I've seen plenty of 11am drops for the krink. They must have plenty of parts ready to get built.
I'd likely search for real krink furniture if I thought about grabbing one but I don't know how realistic that goal would be? |
|

Btw DemolitionRanch on YouTube did a review of his PSA Krink and he shoots some ballistic gel. He shows the shots in slow motion. Doesn’t look like anything I’d want to be hit with. Although it obviously isn’t as devastating as a longer bbl would have.
Worth the watch. |
