Wanted to share the good news that the PSA AK-101 has finished its trials and has been released for production. Expect to see them on the web site for sale in 2-3 weeks.

Thanks,
Jamin

Any chance of CL, or same chromoly? Not a dealbreaker, but sure would be nice.

It will initially be released with a 4150 nitride barrel. We will be releasing a PSA CHF CL version and an FN version also within a year after the release of the nitride version.

Bummer, but hope it’s the same quality as the 7.62x39’s

What mags will they come with on initial release?

Any chance you guys will have AK101 barrels up for sale? I know you post random parts on your site. I'd love to buy a couple for parts kits.

That has my attention

Has anyone gotten a sample of the 556/223 FN barrels and done any accuracy testing? The FN barrels on the PSA 103 are remarkably accurate suppressed, and I'm hoping whatever magical FN barrel phenomena happens there also happens to these 556/223 guns

I just think having reasonably priced mags that are on par with military mags would be nice especially given the political climate as of late.

Nobody else has a meaningful solution to the lack of decent 5.56 mags in the market and the demand is only going to grow. You guys will sell as many as you can make. Your only competition is Arsenal and I prefer your 7.62 mags to theirs especially at half the price. Even if guys already have rifles or buy other companies rifles they will still buy y'alls mags.

Something to consider

@Jman_JJE

Will price per mag be below say $30ea?  Metal reinforced lips and catch lug?

As in should I reserve some money and not go full retard on FB Radom mags for the time being?

pound for pound - FN CHF barrels are excellent.

Speaking from SCAR / AR perspective, I'd assume the same applies here.

The AC Unity 5.56 mags are fantastic and at a great price point. I've bought a ton of them and no issues, using with a Saiga .223 and 5.56 74 build. If your rifle uses C10 waffles they will work fine.

I'm in for the FN barreled version as well. That sounds like it's going to be a very nice rifle.

One of those, with all the toolcraft bits and a spiker would be close to a grail rifle for me.

I will probably pick up the 102 after we see a few reviews.

Stupid question, but on the FN barrels, will their marking be forward of the gas block or concealed in the area under the hand guards?

With the 102, they'll have to.  There isn't any barrel sticking out past the gas block.

Am about the pick up another AK74. Full stock. I really like this caliber.  I did not know that it’s so forgiving.

AC Unity 5.56 mags are only like $14 and are really good for that price with front and rear metal locking lugs and flawless feeding. Not as robust as Circle 10s, but still quite good.
