After waiting for months for them to come back in stock I finally got an AK-101 now. I have yet to be able to get through 15 rounds in a row without a malfunction. Usually it's two or three rounds before it jams up. I've got a bunch of Bulgarian 5.56 mags, some 5.56 RPK mags, and the 5.56 WBP mag that PSA sent me instead of the PSA slick side that I actually ordered, and it does the same with all of them. Usually failures to feed. It's doing it with Winchester White Box, Winchester Ranger Power Point, and M-193. I've probably put about 300 rounds through it so far trying to figure out a fix, I just have to shoot it like an unergonomic bolt action most of the time. I have field stripped it and checked for any weird fit or wear but I don't see anything out of the ordinary. I'm assuming it's severely undergassed, but my worry is that if I send it in they'll fire three rounds of test pressure 5.56 through it and it'll function fine with them, then they'll send it back and it won't have fixed anything.

I will say, accuracy is good. And it looks cool, which is important.
Remember kids, the first rule of gun safety is to have fun.

I've never had any good luck with a 5.56 AK
