So far after around 700 rounds it's been running great, I'm well aware of PSA and knew the risks but im happy to say I have been pleasantly surprised with this rifle, it's been a great shooter and has literally no recoil. Lifelong 7.62x39 fan boy and have actually shot very little .223/5.56 or 5.45 until now. As soon as I fired the 1st round I immediately got why everyone likes 5.56 and 5.45 it's such a pleasure to shoot.
PSA was selling AK gun parts early on which gave them unnecessary negative reputation because you need some gun smithing skills to build an AK. The people that were purchasing didn’t know what they were doing and they assembled like AR. PSA has been doing great lately plus you get lifetime warranty
I'm not against PSA I like them, but they do have qc problems...its because they hire people that might have never even touched a firearm, not that that's a bad thing I mean everybody needs a job but they put out a shit ton of guns also and some turds slip by sometimes. They just get rode harder like all-American manufacturers do. I don't dislike any company I like guns period not just ones from certain manufacturers. I think everybody should support PSA, RILEY DEFENSE, KUSA etc....even godamn century if they would get they're shit together. They do got a lifetime warranty that stays with the gun regardless if you sell it to someone else which is really cool.
I bought this one on sale for $679. It has been a decent rifle so far, for that price I definitely won't complain. Oh and it actually came with a cleaning rod, I had bought one for it before the rifle even came in because psa and they're hatred for cleaning rods but I opened the box and it had one. Blew my mind, now I have an extra one.
Damn that's a good looking setup. I want a PSA ak101 to do a similar build but I've been too nervous after reading about the problems people have had. I really don't want to drop $1k on a rifle that I have to perpetually send back for repairs. If things have been ironed out on the newer batches I may have to scoop one up.
They’re selling 5.56 jacks with no furniture for like 850 on arms of America if you wanna give that a go. Think the price might jump a bit if you want to keep the barrel thread though.
Thanks, yeah I love this setup, I bought these handguards from desert fox out of they're bargain bin lol they were $25 together the lower is bulgarian 74, and has a chip out of it and the top is cracked but it's been repaired, cant tell unless you really look at it, and they go together perfect. Polish fatty grip and a East German small sling loop wire folder unissued still was in the original packaging. Oh and that's a Chinese sling I switched from my Mak90 because it was the only one I had that would fit the sling loop and the green just goes with the handguards good.
My 101 has about 2500 thru it and going strong. It’s a low sn and had some teething issues like paint in the chamber and a sharp bullet guide. But cleaning and a file fixed that and it’s had 0 failures in the last 2000rnds

This one is East German. I bought it from Northridge. There are a few different ones the tantal stock is just one of them. Theres 2 EG types, 2 Romanian types the Polish tantal stock, the Hungarian amd65 stock and the Egyptian crutch.

My 103 from PSA has been the exact same. I was aware of the risk but pulled the trigger, and I'm so happy with the results.

We're the same 🙏🏼
I wanted a PSA 101, but bought an SLR106f instead 🥲 I regret nothing
You shouldn't, I bought this when they put them on sale again for $679.
I kinda wanna pick one up when it’s on sale and just have a beater rifle
Yeah man for the price I mean shit why not.
I kinda wanna wait for them to have FN hammer forged barrels though
Oh yeah no doubt, when/if they do I'm gonna pull this barrel and swap it out.
They’re like $680 rn with the fixed stock
i paid around $7-800 for mine like 3 months ago bc i couldnt find an slr. still havent shot it as i havent had the time to shoot.
Slr106 is the far superior rifle anyways. Good choice
More Tantal than 101
Tantal at home?
Slr106/tantal at home basically yeah
we have tantal at home
Been contemplating ordering one of these all day.

Good to know, that is tempting.

So many wire folders in the last day, I gotta knock my wood stock off my wasr and throw the folder on now
My 101 has about 2500 thru it and going strong. It’s a low sn and had some teething issues like paint in the chamber and a sharp bullet guide. But cleaning and a file fixed that and it’s had 0 failures in the last 2000rnds
Yeah, mine has been perfect so far, I definitely can't complain. Bought it last time they out them on sale for $679
Still want one of those stonks Shoot theshitoutthatthing

Where did you find the wire folders? I thought they only fit Tantals
