It's a krink to me. I think being a nitpicky nelly over it is pretty gay to be quite honest. If you want a more proper clone, fine, buy one, but don't act like a fedora tipper over what most people choose to call it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Heartbreaker1373: I still want one, but in 5.45. I have a close enough facsimile, a zpap pistol in 5.56, but those have a 10 inch barrel so too long. I’d rather have the 8 or 8.3 in or whatever the AKS74U clones have. I'm waiting for Gen 2. I have a couple nice AKS74UNs built from RGuns kits, but I want a knock around Krink in 5.56 to go along with the "not at all clone correct, but fun to use in matches 'n shit" PSA AK-101. |

Two years ago, I might have gotten one, but instead of shooting 1-2X a week, my range time has been reduced to once every once every 1 to 2 months, so I'm drastically reducing my collection. |

I'd probably own one now, if they had put a proper CHF-Chrome-lined barrel in it. Too much of a bitch swapping out barrels on an AK, as compared to an AR where I can do it in a few minutes (or just toss on another upper). Okay, queue up the "you ain't nevah gone shoot that thar nitride barrel out and neither will 99.99999999999999% percent o' shooters blah blah blah" crowd who figure everybody is like them and goes to the range twice a year (weather permitting) and shoots 50 rounds all off the bench. |

“Krink” or “Krinkov” was never a Soviet designation for the AKS74U.
So, no need to speak with a manager at PSA. |

I am extremely disappointed. In almost two pages of replies, no one even dared to suggest that a PSA "Krink" was "jUsT aS gOoD" as a real AKS-74U.
PSA fanboys are slacking. Alternatively, they just know better at this point in the early days of a new PSA product. I still am disappointed. |

I picked up a Gen 2 KS47 and it’s been awesome, but I read the Gen 1s had some issues. Same for many other PSA products. Their QC is less than optimal, but what do you expect at the price point they’re aiming for? |
