Idk the time line but there was a connection. His whole social media seems to be "look at me." Doesn't impress me. Met him once and was quickly convinced that he was somebody I never wanted to be around again. |

The AKs they made had the wrong parts in them. They made sub par shit. They deserve everything that is happening to them

Bummer. Probably should have bought more KP9 mags to go with the 5x30rd ones that came with it in the private sale.

I really hope they don't, they were eventually going to come out with their 5.45 clone.

Many of us own KUSA products with zero issues - me being one of them. They didn't make sub par shit. PSA had more problems than KUSA did - not even close. And for the record, I'm not saying KUSA had zero problems, EVER, but these comments about them being a garbage company with garbage products are completely asinine. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wayfaerer320: No - the most obvious difference is the 4.5mm rear trunnion of the PSA vs the 5.5mm of the KUSA - modern Izhmash 100 series AKs use the more inline 5.5mm rear trunnion (the stock is angled more on the 4.5 version - what older AK74s used). PSA's version is close, but KUSA's guns are even closer. It really isn't that big of a day unless you're an AK nerd like myself - those little details are important. Also, KUSA was the only game in town making exact copies of the Vityaz 9mm AK (KP9). They also had plans to make an AK74M clone (which again, nobody else is doing right now). Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wayfaerer320: Originally Posted By fike: Originally Posted By wayfaerer320: That blows if true - they were the only company making 100 series AK clones.

No more Vityaz clones. PSA guns like the AK-V aren't replicas of military weapons. They generally work fine and are good enough for the average shooter, but if you like military replicas PSA doesn't do that well. The AK-V has different magazines, last round bolt hold open and whatnot. Though I recall even KUSA didn't do the proper AK-100 series right. Their AK-103s initially shipped with fixed stocks. But KUSA was at least doing some replicas and seemed to be on track to more or less put out replica military weapons. PSA is fine for basic shooters, but it is like getting an MSAR vs an Steyr AUG. Or those oddball PRT 5.56 rifles that are a halfway between an HK-33 and AR-15. |

I signed up for instock email for the kp9 bolt, for $105, I think if something was going to fail on the kp9, it would be the bolt or the parts within. cant hurt to have a spare.
hopefully they atleast liquidate. ill grab a folding stock too for the shelf. I fucking hope they dont go dudes. I like my kp9 alot. |

That's what I really liked about it, it's cool knowing it has the same look and function as a historical firearm such as the Vityaz. That's why I went with KUSA instead of PSA's version. I'll add that my KR-9 as run perfectly and been great to me. The workmanship and quality is top notch, I can't speak for anyone else but I'm happy with my purchase. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By realwar: I love how some in GD are cheering for the failure of gun manufacturing businesses.. That’s how capitalism works. I’m all for the 2A, but I don’t equate the success or failure of any one manufacturer as anything more than a bump in the road. If it as a case of some sort of ATF shenanigans, then they’d have my sympathy. Bad business practices? Meh. Some companies, like PSA and Primary Arms, flourish. Some don’t. |

Report: Russian oligarch's companies sent $1 million to counterparts at Pompano's Kalashnikov USA
SVT named one of those accounts as held by GP Florida Investments Group LLC. Florida business records identify the lone manager of that limited liability company as Peter Viskovatykh, with an address on Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles. The address is a mail drop at a UPS store near his residence. Viskovatykh and Michael Tiraturian are partners in a number of business ventures, most notably RWC Group LLC. RWC is the owner and operator of Kalashnikov USA. RWC stands for Russian Weapons Company. Tiraturian has been identified by U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) as "a longtime business associate and friend of Alexey Krivoruchko," a former CEO of Kalashnikov Concern and now Russian's deputy minister of defense. |

It happens whenever the bolt isn't fully in battery. Out of spec round, shit in the chamber, etc could cause it. Regular AK's have that little tail on the end of the bolt carrier to prevent the firing pin from being struck if the bolt isn't fully engaged and locked, but I don't know how the 9mm guns work. |
