The AR-15s gas operated bolt and carrier system isn't direct impingement, but everyone calls it that anyways...

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AugustineBolishbatfe: 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. The "jUsT aS gOoD" came from Geissele coming out with their mag that happened to be the same as a PSA with a different Floorplate for 3 times as much. Mag had the same cage code on it. I shot the Krink at The Gathering this past weekend. It was decent, suppressed and non suppressed.

The term isn't Russian, so it can be quite liberal in its usage. Anything that is more or less an AKS-74U in size can probably carry the term.
My bigger problem was when they sold an "AK-103" with a fixed stock. |

People wanted a what is commonly called a "Krinkov" because it has some standout characteristics for size and looks. People can't have one because they are not common parts kits, not made in the USA, prohibited by import and NFA in most configurations. PSA made a clone in a caliber people could seemingly get - anticipating shortages with a Russian war in Ukraine that also allows same profile magazine. I have a Mini-beryl, love it, it is superior to many AKs It still doesn't look like a prolific Krinkov - I customized my Beryl by adding side folder triangle stock and trunnion, laminated wood, conse style flash, modified a folding top cover to get the look, still want a PSA. .223 AK mags have similar profile as 74 mags in 5.45, and you can even use bakelites in it for the lookt many want.

The real question boys is this:
Why do they call this the Krinker Plinker when it was never made in Russia and isnt even piston driven?  Im not even one of those guys that says it even needs to be in a russian caliber 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. |
