Looks like 5.56 is coming first which is...kinda lame. Also hope the 5.45 has a chrome lined barrel, too. We'll see! |

Does this smell like chloroform to you?
|
Price?

I wonder what size pin the rear trunnion uses for SBR purposes.

Just came here to post this. Also want it in 5.45. Attached File

Nice. Bet they go live for sale during SHOT?
I get wanting a 5.45, but a 5.56 makes a lot of sense currently with ammo availability and price. |
|

The 300 BO Krink will be a buy-on-sight for me.
Perfect barrel length for 300 BO, plus I'll be using separate magazines from my ARs so I won't accidentally blow up a 5.56 gun. PSA pls |

Wow! My 10" zpap85 throws some serious fireballs, 8" i can't even imagine!!

I am glad to finally see a little movement on this project, I too was hoping 5.45 would be the first out of the gate but I understand 5.56 coming first. I just hope they haven't abandoned 5.45, I wouldn't think they have with all the other rifles they make in that chambering.

They may be waiting on that line to get up and running. |

Has PSA said if they will sell Krink parts like furniture, etc.?

Another vote for 300 blk version. My 7.62x39 krink only sees subsonic out of it, but obviously that has dried up because of Putey Pie. I load my own 300blk subs, so one in that caliber would let me keep going with a quiet krink indefinitely.
|
|
|
I will take one in 300 blk right now. Thanks PSA!
|
|
|
I'd buy one in 5.56 or .300 Blk

Part of me is glad it's 5.56 but I don't have 5.56 74 magazines. Only 5.45.

You need to change out the follower is all. May want to download your mags by a few rounds, just a guess. |

Originally Posted By aimatdeer: Wow! My 10" zpap85 throws some serious fireballs, 8" i can't even imagine!! View Quote I had a DPMS Kitty Kat upper and sold it (wish I hadn't even though I almost never shot it) and have a 7.5 upper I built to play with (I can't remember who had the barrels on sale). Even with a linear comp you want double hearing protection, it rattles your brain a bit and throws huge fireballs. It's definitely not something I'd want to touch off inside a building except in an emergency and I don't even shoot it from under the shed (private land). That said, I can fully understand why PSA went 5.56 first (popularity and commonality of the cartridge) and I'd like to have one; .300 really makes sense in the gun as well and could finally convince me to add another caliber. |
|

That thing is sexy as fuck
|
|
|
I am thinking I may want two of these. One 5.45 with classic furniture just for the aesthetic and collection and maybe a 5.56 or 300blk to modernize.

Hey PSA. It's February.
Where Krink? |

Every year at Christmas when my extended family is in town we always go on a family range trip. 99% if not 100% of the guns are mine, and I provide the ammo as well. I have a hard enough time keeping 7.62 and 5.56 separated with these folks, not about to introduce 300blk to the mix. The few 300blk rifles I have will be left at home. Also, where is the Krink? I was going to give up buying guns for lent, and I am afraid I will miss its debut |

They added some with different furniture options. I’d like to think we are getting close. Attached File

I imagine it will be like the micro dagger release went at first, surprise drop one version a day at 4pm est in small quantities for a few weeks. |

Needs to be offered without their janky triangle brace, there are much better options on the market. That said, I want one of those guns.

Looking forward to these dropping. I've wanted a krink for a long time and I'm pretty happy with my PSA AK-101. Might go for the "Plum Gloss" version.

15th of Feb is about as mid Feb as you can get. Right slap dab in the middle of February. Maybe tomorrow will be the day...

Need Krink Builder Kits please.
|
|
|
we have been asking till we are blue in the face...
|
|
|
I think the joke was everyone asks “where krink” not “how krink”
|
|
|
I'll ask the direct question of - "what questions do I have to ask to get the Krink available for shipment?"
To be safe: Who Krink? What Krink? Where Krink? Why Krink? How Krink? |
|
|
|
|
I got very excited for today because I noticed that not only is the Krink now showing OOS on PSA website, as it has been for a few weeks, but now it is currently showing "Free Shipping"
I figured it would pop up as a Presidents Day Daily Deal... No such luck |
|
|
Also looks like they might of had a price increase before they even released.
Lowest searchable price is $1,249.00 on the four wood furniture models. |

Release on the 29th?

View Quote I am starting to doubt we will ever see these. I have seen the video footage of PSA workers pushing around racks of Krinks, and heard 1st quarter or next quarter, or middle of February, but every single day it's NOTHING. Just when I am about to give up checking every single day, PSA will slip out something new without actually releasing the Krink that gives me new hope. First they mention the Krink and show teasers over and over. Then they actually list them on the site OOS. Now they have a "free shipping" icon. I guess the next thing they could do WITHOUT actually offering them for sale would be list the other calibers as OOS. Maybe the fact that they have raised the price is indication that they are coming soon? Maybe blems will be $999 and $1249 will be MSRP??? |
