Wanted to pass along more good news. The PSA AK-102 passed its trials and is now released for production. Expect to see them available for sale on the web site in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Thanks, Jamin |

Thanks for the pic.

@Jman_JJE Sorry to kind of "hijack" this. Are there any plans in the pipeline for milled receiver guns, as well as an AK-12 style rifle? An AK-12 in 5.56 would be neat  Obviously I understand there are some things you probably cannot talk about that are being worked on. If this is the case then disregard. |

They already said yes to the AK-12 once they reverse engineer the parts kit they have and the AK-12 in 5.56 is called the AK-19. |

Quoted: Pretty sure they haven't been released yet. Quoted: Quoted: 102's out of stock. Why is it that manufacturers pretty consistently never produce enough stock to supply the massive demand. Their marketing people are stupid and need to go back to school or be fired. Pretty sure they haven't been released yet. |

Quoted: 102’s out of stock. Why is it that manufacturers pretty consistently never produce enough stock to supply the massive demand. Their marketing people are stupid and need to go back to school or be fired. @Shadyman Manufacturers don't want to invest in making 10,000 of something if only 100 end up selling- simple, solid basic fundamental business economics. If it sells far better than demand on a product that only you are making, you just make more of them... In this case, PSA has listed the product on their webstore before it is available so you can sign up for in stock notification so that when the production guns are available, you can automatically get emailed and know the moment they are first in stock. It isn't stupid, it is actually really smart- PSA can both have customers know the moment they are up for sale and move lots of them quickly, and use the sign ups as a barometer of how many people potentially want the product to dial in production prior to the product even being available. There is your marketing/manufacturing lesson for the day Sven Manticore Arms |

There is your marketing/manufacturing lesson for the day Sven Manticore Arms What’s cool about the way PSA handles restock, Is that it’s the same time every day. So for the AKs they used to come in stock everyday right about 3PM CST. I would hit refresh at 2:50 and there would be GF3 and GF5 for say 5-10 minutes. If you missed it, just try again the next day. No big. Haven’t seen any other site where I can time the restocks. |

Quoted: They are in production phase along with the 101 and will be out in the coming weeks! Thanks, Josiah Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Any word? @Jman_JJE They are in production phase along with the 101 and will be out in the coming weeks! Thanks, Josiah @PalmettoStateArmory Josiah, I don't suppose you could give us an updated ETA on these could you? We're four weeks into the 2-3 @Jman_JJE stated in the OP. Thanks! |

Weren’t these supposed to be out in Q2? Probably, but the reality of manufacturing in the current market is far from ideal. It only takes one part to get delayed to hold up an entire project.

Quoted: Word on the street is they are doing accuracy testing with multiple ammunition brands and bullet weights to get it right. My understanding is that accuracy is on point with AK-101/102. If that proves to be the case, worth the wait IMHO. This post is confusing. |
