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. |
