From PSA ig.
Looking much better than the prototypes we've seen before. Much more 2021ish. The prototypes looked more square and bolted together. The charging handle looks more refined too. Good job psa. Attached File |

I'm excited!

Why no stock?

Very exciting. The handguard looks screwed in. Which means a longer rail can be added. Also exciting.

Think I may use the triangle brace on this and make it sort of KAC PDW'ish...

View Quote That BCG group looks interesting too. AKish. So not like a MCX or BRN-180. Something new....I like. Edit: We'll sort of new, I think the ARAK? was a long stroke gas piston, I think primary arms made some long stroke gas piston AR in the past, the SIG 556 guns. I feel like all of them never really made much of a impact. |

Now hopefully we can fully remove the barrel unlike previously reported so I can get it ball dimpled...

I just caught the viddy drop and thought I'd check in here.
VERY EXCITING!! +1 for endurance testing -1 for "Truck Gun" +/- ??? for QA/QC? Will it improve? I'm most excited for the .300 BLK. I'd be interested in hearing more about the port size/ gas settings in the next vid. Why was everyone shooting the unbraced version? I saw a braced pistol on the table. Do you guys need an extra brace down there? |

PSA is really doing the right things IMO. A company that has come from strictly the AR world to designing their own weapon systems puts them in the possibility of elevating past alot of these other “boutique” and plentiful AR manufacturers. Not that designing new firearms puts you in elite status, cough cough.... Keltec..... But if PSA pulls off these efforts with good success they’ll really move forward and close the gap between them and Sig, Hk, Glock, etc. In order to be successful, they need time which unfortunately isn’t good for the impatient consumer and the current gun unfriendly administration. I still say, rushing it is the worst they can do. Delicate time for them to prove that they can play with the elite gun industry players. Im excited for them and amazed at the evolution of the company - especially for being just over a decade old.

Wonder why they were shooting the pistol version vs the SBR. I would be like give me that SBR to test shoot.

View Quote If I were to guess, they likely either didnt want to waste time making a SBR or two that will likely get destroyed1 from all the shooting that will happen, or that they figure the number of people that will SBR the complete kit will be significantly lower than the people that would just keep it a pistol, and thus decided to have it in pistol configuration so people get the most likely experience. 1I have no idea what the whole affair for NFA items for companies like PSA is, though, but still likely a waste of time and money. |

In the Hank Strange video, Matt from PSA said that the JAKL will no longer be offered at the price they originally promised and that the barrel of the JAKL won’t be chrome lined as they originally said it would. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m starting to feel like Lando Calrissian.

That doesn’t look like it will work with my BRN-180 SBR lower. |

It's starting to sound very "Truck Gun" to me. View Quote How often do you swap lowers with uppers? I’ve got more lowers than I do uppers. What would it matter anyway? If you had a standard lower you’d have to remove the buffer tube from the lower to mate it with their previous design |

In PSAs defense, If someone was talking about using a BRN lower or a Sig lower to make with a Jakyl upper. PSA would have no way of controlling it their standards. If Sig made a slight change, which they often do, this could make it incompatible with Jakyl uppers. I think what PSA promised was that it would work with a standard mil spec lower, which according to the videos. It does.
Now I could understand the appeal of having 2 uppers for an AR say a 300 and a 5.56. And you can swap out uppers on the fly. Then you see the Jakyl being teased. And you go "DANG! that thing is cool, I could buy an upper and throw it on my lower that I already got". Sometime later you see about this buffer/plug system that you need for the lower. And then you start to get disappointed because now, either you have to swap out the buffer tube every time you want to shoot the upper. . But even going back to the prototypes at shot, the buffer/plug system was always there. Youtube pic: Attached File TBH I'm still on the fence about buying one for myself (TBH i'd rather have a krink that they talked about) but I think people are getting upset over the wrong things. I think there's a lot of hearsay or simple misunderstandings. When they say "you can use your lower". That means different things to different people. |

I'm ready for something like this in 556 after shooting my scar 17 I forgot how much I missed shooting piston rifles.
I'm not dumping 3k+ on a scar 16 and thought about the brn180 and bren but I'm definitely keeping this in mind. |

I know the whole deal is "compact truck gun", and that means a pistol, but personally, I dont care for .300 blackout, or 5.56 AR pistols.
Im hoping that they come out with the carbine versions not long after. My other alternative is a BRN-180, but I dont care for the looks or function (I like the forward set side-charging aspect of the JAKL, over the "Charging handle attached to bolt" of the 180). I cant think of too many, or any, 5.56/7.62x39 rifles that have a set up like that that arent around $2K. Plus, since most people may be wanting the pistol versions, the carbines may be in stock for more than five minutes when they finally come out. |

So you guys removed the brass deflector for us lefties but kept the ambi charging handle? I don't see a world where anyone cares about the charging handle being ambi if they get hit in the face with brass. Why would a lefty buy one?

The JAKL will have a brass deflector! I just spoke with engineering. Thank you, Josiah |

How often do you swap lowers with uppers? I’ve got more lowers than I do uppers. What would it matter anyway? View Quote Because in the United States, according to the BATFE, the lower is the control part, and thus serialized. That is the part that gets SBR'd. If you own more lowers than uppers, that would be incredibly odd. I have never heard someone say that, unless you are talking unbuilt lowers in a box on the shelf trying to price speculate. I think what PSA promised was that it would work with a standard mil spec lower, which according to the videos. It does. View Quote I don't think anyone is truly upset over it, but it will NOT function with a standard milspec lower... which is what we are talking about. JAKL requires proprietary mods. |

HK-416 upper, T-91 upper, BRN-180 upper, AR-57 upper, CMMG .22 upper, etc... If JAKL, you'll be breaking that stake and performing the proprietary mods before you blaze, after which it will be in a proprietary configuration. Which is fine! I'm just thinking one step ahead for someone who wants to use it on an existing SBR, or might be confused by that statement. |
