What is the latest on this controversy?  Is PSA using them now?

The 102 I picked up just a couple of weeks ago does not have swell rivets or a dimpled receiver like it should.  Neither did my PSA KRINK. They still aren't using them.

And it still doesn't matter.

Agreed. People hyper focus on this and it’s a non issue.

Tell that to the loose as a goose trunnion that was in my PSA KRINK after only 7,000 rounds. Id agree with you on a higher quality build but not on a US built AK.  With how soft the trunnions are I find it hard to believe they are hammer forged as well. Its just what it is. Using swell rivets and dimpled trunnions is proven to hold up much better.  You should never trust flat rivets on a flat receiver with a trunnion set up for a dimpled receiver, and swell rivets....

Do the Krinks still have soft trunnions like the initial 101's did?

According to their rep Danny on reddit, they are now using them on the 5.45 krink.

He didn't say if they started on the other krinks or if they even plan to

Give it a rest, guy

You already wasted multiple pages of the krink thread shouting into the void - IF your issues were real, you could've had PSA replace the gun but you didn't
And despite all your bitching, you bought another PSA AK

Can you link to that post?
I don't think it matters, nor is it some kind of "controversy", but I've got a 300blk krink coming this week, will see what it looks like

The issues I had were 100% real! I fixed them myself because I know it gets done right and I dont have to worry about getting the same thing back. You do understand that the bolts are still out of spec right?

He said this on reddit? If it's an issue it should be considered a warranty issue if so.. disappointing.
