Awesome, can’t wait to pick up a 13.7” kit

So, the 9mm is straight blowback?

Another blowback... #sad

@Jman_JJE,

Any plans to offer the AR-V lower by itself instead of the upper/lower/bcg package?  I’d like to grab one quickly to register and put the 9mm Jakl upper on it when they become available.  Already planning to grab a x39 upper to replace on my KS47.

Sad to see the 9mm is blowback rather than some delayed action. Going to be a pass for me.

That's why it says "Concept Gun." They aren't actually going to make it.

Even if/when they do incorporate some method of delay and lighten up the BCG, it's still going to be a klunker with the AR-V lower and the extruded upper. MCX is (similarly) a klunker, and the size/weight difference is somewhat shocking when you see their K-variant next to a true MP5K.

9mm PCCs are a very tricky spot to play in right now:

Scorpion is still king, and CZ can comfortably lower prices to what they were in the beginning when they undercut everyone and saw huge adoption.

MKE MP5-types are still coming in at $1100. MP5 scratches the retro and "smooooothnessssss" itch for new shooters who are intimidated by the amount of KA-POW in 9x19mm.

...

The best COA for PSA and a "JAKL family" is to design a proprietary lower with enhanced ergos and a modular front end/ mag well like we have seen in the past from some manufacturers. JAKL does not use "any mil spec lower" but rather requires that part to be made proprietary with the thinned out catch and the buffer that sticks into the upper.

PSA can transform that weakness into a strength (and not have a paper thin bolt catch) by going white sheet on the design.

Additionally, having the modular front end ahead of the FCG helps fulfill a dream that many of us have had since 2007 (you know what I'm talking about!!!).

THESE are the kinds of "Concepts" that are interesting to explore... and the ideas that get folks creating threads and checking daily, stressing over timelines and hoping that the initial release goes well. Fake Glocks, Krinks, 56-Spikers are not interesting at all... and most of us who want one of those already have at least one.

*Thinking further, I will give credit to Henry for delivering a differentiated product in the 9mm PCC space.

Nobody saw that coming, and I hope their "Homesteader" does well!

Hopefully you can still economically make the pistol versions - I have a KS-47 that is going through the SBR process and wouldn't mid an upper to convert to JAKL.

For the x39 jakl have you taken advantage the proprietary bolt to actually make the bolt larger to get more material around the lugs for for x39 cartridge or is it the same size as a standard AR-15 x39 bolt?

These are in concept phase. I do not have details yet.

Well good, talk to them because if they do that you turn a good gun into a great one.

Will you be offering a non p/w 13.7/13.9/14.5 for us that don't have those kinda suppressors and want to mount our own?
I'm sorry if the above info makes no sense. I'm kind of an idiot.

It is a possibility in the long-term, but we are starting out with the P/W versions first.

This is sweet.  Any chance of other calibers like 6ARC, 6.5G?

Not familiar with that stock. Will wait for reviews before I make a decision if I like it or not.

How about retrofitting a Jakl pistol with a rifle-length barrel?  Fun is fun, but I'd like to avoid the whole brace issue.

I can't seem to get a response from PSA about the possibility of their offering this service.



Never ask a man if he is from Virginia. If he is, he'll tell you. If he isn't, you don't want to embarrass him.

At this time we do not have the man-power to offer this type of service.

When does the 13.7” become available?

Updated: for some reason I couldn’t see them as available earlier when I checked the website but they are available now, so I just ordered the FDE one

I am desperately waiting for the .308 with 16" Barrel. I'd buy one tomorrow if they were available.
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance....Riddle them with bullets!
