Furthermore, it sounds conspiratorial when you say he might be lying for some reason. It was obvious in the video that the receiver was a PSA and that it wasn’t dimpled. Everybody wants cheap American AKs to succeed, and he’s not a paid guntuber so he really doesn’t have a dog in this fight. Yet the average american will watch GT or a 5k burn down from Rob and conclude incorrectly that the gun will last forever and is “just as good” as an Arsenal or FB product.

People love white knighting for PSA (maybe you are, maybe you aren’t, don’t care), even if just giving them the benefit of doubt. That’s the conspiracy. If you don’t mind your gun falling apart after a few thousand rounds go ahead and buy one, but nobody should condone contributing to the internet dishonesty that surrounds PSA’s cheap products. They simply aren’t military quality guns. Doesn’t matter to me if people buy range toys so long as they make an informed decision.

Good AKs aren’t the blue collar gun option anymore and some people need to just get over that. The old days are long gone. Some people will not be able to justify the money or flat out can’t afford the ones that are made correctly.

Normies are always slapping stripes on this donkey and calling it a zebra. It ain’t a zebra…

Easy to have a great track record in customer service when you set yourself up to be the hero…

And to all of you people saying “mine works” or “other companies mess up rivet dimpling” that literally proves nothing and you’re just muddying the waters here. Unless you have 10k-20k through your PSA and everything’s textbook, you shouldn’t be commenting on their longevity. Most people will never shoot that much through a single gun, but most people like to know their gun will make it long enough to see a second owner such as your heirs. This is pretty simple to understand.

I got called a basher hardcore at one point, until I posted my purchase history from PSA, at the time right around $6000.00, not a high roller by any means but I think that's a respectable amount of money for a lifelong blue-collar guy who never made more than 50K in a year of his life.

Like nictra said, I myself also very much appreciate all their efforts, especially to make AK's, doesn't mean i'm not gonna call out the occasional screw-up, everybody is going to fail now and then, the legendary Soichiro Honda once said that you learned far more from your failures than the 1% you got to call a "success".

Granted, there are some mindless bashers out there, and some mindless cheerleaders as well, but I think we can all filter that for ourselves without going at each other.

If you've been keeping score like I have for years now, it seems pretty plain that PSA has indeed learned from each mistake and is steadily improving, unlike Century and I.O. etc.

ETA: If PSA steps up to the plate and builds the rifle i'm proposing in the perfect AK thread, I will at that point become a liflelong white knight cheerleader and they will never do wrong again in my book.
