. . . isn't even a Krink, then
a) Why do people (and really, PSA) call it a Krink? It's no more a Krink than an AR-15 is an AR10. I'm not even one of those guys who cares for 5.45x39 in the way that some people think it is better. I just think calling it a Krink is just coping because we can't have the real thing. b) Why not just go with a superior option like the Mini Beryl (well, I guess it's out of stock, but it is obviously the best-made shorty 5.56 AK), or the m85, both of which are vastly superior firearms with decades of history of production? I already have my flame suit on, so the PSA kneepad-squad can do their worst. (I love you, PSA, I do) |

Because it is a short AK with a triangle folder?
That means Krink to most non-AK guys. |

What makes the PSA not-a-Krink? Looks like a Krink to me.
"Krinkov" is a madeup term by people who had nothing to do with the gun, I don't think there's a strictly defined set of criteria that makes a "real" Krink. |

Krinkov is a term only used in the US to describe the AKS-74U, so it technically isn't even a correct term at all.

Maybe because Krinks aren't defined by caliber, but instead by a host of other features? (hinging dust cover, different rear sight assembly, handguard assembly etc) The AR15/AR10 analogy isn't appropriate since the AR10 differs aesthetically due to the larger receiver and magwell.
Dimensionally, the PSA krink is actually a pretty good match, just in 5.56, which is in fact a krink variant made by Bulgaria. A Beryl 5.56 shorty wouldn't even be close to having almost any of the uniquely Krink features that are in fact shared by the PSA gun. OP is Duning-Kruger material. |
