No wiggle really, but the bottom portion will flex a bit

When I pull the trigger on one of these the F1 will go in the same day I have the gun in hand. It’s gotta have a proper stock.

Same.

I did that with my AK-V and have been very happy I did.

I like the folding wood on the AKV, that looks great, but I would do the traditional triangle folder. IMO

I'm mostly going traditional with mine (just adding a suppressor and side-rail mount red-dot), but looking at pictures of Krinks for the last week, I'm conflicted.  There are some really cool looking Krinks out there with custom furniture and bolt-ons.

I am the exact opposite.  I want traditional AKs. I won't do optics or rails on an AK.  Can't stand them.  The only "different" look I want on an AK is the Hungarian forward slant grip.  I also like all the different wire folders and wood stocks as well.

That could change, and knowing me it will.  I originally hated the Hungarian AKs.  Now I 5 or 6 of them.  They grew on me...

I will say that wood folder is different as well, and I am liking it.

It works, but isn't optimal.

Actually the 100 series sidefolding stocks are a much better solution, but only have 10% of the coolness factor.   Of course the longer barrel and longer sight radius of the AK-102/104/105 is also superior.

How long did it take for PSA to ship your Krinks?

I ordered mine on the 7th, got the email confirmation and since then haven't heard a peep from them.

7 days if I am not mistaken.  I didn't order the first day they hit.  It was a few days later when I had finally talked myself into it, and found it IN Stock.  

My SN is 005xx which I assume is one of the first 600 made.  I was thinking there would have already been thousands and thousands of these sold and shipped??

I wonder how PSA decides the number of on hand rifles they need before they start shipping?

I would love to tour their facility one day...

Thanks. Hopefully mine will ship today (fingers crossed).

From the pictures posted, it looks like Sajer's is in the 500ish range as well.

Yeah, a PSA factory tour would be awesome. You could probably make a week out of it with everything they have going on.  That probably would be a really cool place to work in an IT capacity or something like that (IT generally gets all-access in every place I've worked in IT.    ).

You are asking about a CL barrel for the PSA Krink?  If so, I guess you will need to wait until they offer it as an option.  That may be in the works like on the other models PSA sells GF5 models have CL barrels.

IMO, you could get the barrel they offer currently, start shooting it, and I am willing to bet you would have a long long time before you needed a replacement, if ever...

I did not know this.

So in PSA's AK line up:

GF3 = Nitride Barrels
GF4 = PSA Chrome Lined Hammer Forged Barrels
GF5 = FN Chrome Lined Hammer Forged Barrels

Would this be correct?

When I snagged mine, they popped up on the site around 4:39ish.  So if there's none at 4:00, keep checking for about an hour afterwards.

Mine's supposed to be delivered to the LGS today.  Woohoo!

But I was able to learn that an 8.5 barrel should be just fine just before we were silenced.... In a FLASH some might say.

So I kept refreshing the PSA website and low and behold, the redwood Krink popped back up and I ordered it

"8.5 inch barrel", "just fine"... just fine for what? Who cares? I don't think anyone here would consider a psa product as something they would use in a self defense capacity, so what does it matter? Unless.....those people do exist here? Is that a thing???

You should consider not being like this or you should keep this kind of stuff in GD.

I'm not even an AK guy/aficionado/snob, but even I know that you didn't get a Krink.  If it's in 5.56, it's not a Krink.

SO EDGY, anything is "just fine" for LARPING

I would not hesitate to rely on a PSA weapon in a self defense situation.  And an AK of any brand would never be my first choice

BUT, if I decided to play dress up, I guess PSA would be fine for that too.

A Krink isn't even a thing. It's a made up word.  So PSA has as much right to use it as anyone else.

Also, didn't the Bulgarians make a version of the AKS-74U in 5.56?

Insulting a long time member in the tech forums probably isn’t wise.

That being said nothing that man does with his firearms has any effect on your day to day life. So why even bother?

This is a good thread, it's too bad a few trollers got on here "it's not a real Krink or it's not good enough for real defense".  Freaking idiots.  I don't even get why they are on this thread if the don't like the weapon  Trollers.

My thoughts exactly.  These are as close as we can get. And in a caliber that is easy to find.  An actual Krinkov would be full auto, and illegal to import.
You can build a copy, but it's still not the real thing. It's childish to say you can't call it that. Hell for that matter, the khyber pass guns are "Not real" and are all copies built in dirt floor machine shops.

Btw DemolitionRanch on YouTube did a review of his PSA Krink and he shoots some ballistic gel. He shows the shots in slow motion. Doesn’t look like anything I’d want to be hit with. Although it obviously isn’t as devastating as a longer bbl would have.

Worth the watch.
