Given the brace rule that was published, is PSA going to continue selling a short variant of the jakl or are they only going to be produced in 16" variants? I don't really have an interest in a 16" variant. I can see why others would want a 16" variant, especially in light of the new rule, but overall I think the jakl will be a dead firearm if PSA decided to go 14.5" p&w 16" and up only.

A pistol is a pistol, regardless of it having a brace or not.

Other companies having been making <16" barrels and uppers for a lot longer than PSA and still do. I don't see anything changing.

Looks like all the complete JAKLs are “out of stock” now, after being in stock this whole time.

The braced AK pistols are all still in stock, as are braced JAKL lowers. There was probably a run on them of people who will take a "forebearance" stamp and SBR them. I was going to Form 1 mine anyway, as I dislike the flimsy brace. I think I remember Jamin talking about doing 16" JAKLs with folding stocks. So I'm waiting to see what their folding stock will look like.

I bought an upper kit without the brace fully intending to SBR it. We knew how this new rule was going to turn out so i never jumped on the brace wagon.  But now I'm just going to wait out the court cases and see how it unfolds and maybe save myself $200 on a stamp. I've already gotten stamps for suppressors so I'm already on the list.
The rear adapter has a qd socket so if i want to shoot it now just put a sling on it, push it forward like using ar pistols before braces were a thing. Unless the ATF is reclassifying slings as stocks.

I think PSA should focus on selling 16" barrels for JAKLs above all else and those that bought kits can swap out barrels and slap a stock on it. Still cheaper to go that route than a SCAR 16.

How tough would it be to swap barrels on a JAKL?

Never ask a man if he is from Virginia. If he is, he'll tell you. If he isn't, you don't want to embarrass him.

The Jackie is dead for the time being.
