Palmetto State Armory Jakl 5.56 10.5" review, test, field strip.
มุมมอง 1.1K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
When I went to a gun show recently, I was looking for an AK chambered in 5.56 and took AR mags, which I already had. I ran into a vendor that convinced me to give the Palmetto State Armory JAKL a try. This video is the result of my review and testing. I do not accept any monetary compensation or endorsement for a positive review. The results of the tests are exactly as it happened.
Primary Arms Microprism 3X optic Issue and RESOLVE 👍
มุมมอง 82221 วันที่ผ่านมา
My go-to optic for all my long rifles chambered in 7.62x39, 5.45x39, 300 Black Out, and 5.56 is the Primary Arms SLX 3X Microprism optic. It's a "no fuss for quick response", compact, lightweight optic featuring an etched reticle, and a removable base with options for 8 unique mounting heights . While at the range, I noticed shots were hitting all over the target, as I was burning through a LOT...

11 rounds ...ya try a full mag sir ,15 round bet you have a Failure to eject and feed
@DarrinFry-h5k Back when I had this firearm and smoothed out the burs on the followers, I had no issues with a completely loaded mag. I was married to a soul sucker when I made this video, and 11 rounds was all I had left! 😆😆😆 She left with the Hi-Point. I sure miss that Hi-Point, and again, no issues with the mag. 🤣🤣🤣
Ive got a battle tested liberated pso bolim belarus 8x42 scope and mount in one. Its very clean and you can still use irons. It's got illuminated reticle. Its pretty bad ass.
You are my hero
@JNie-v1h I appreciate that, but the thanks goes to True Shot ammo for stocking this at a great price. I have found it other places except they wanted about 30 bones per box for it! 🤯💸
Looks like they must have fixed their corrosion issues, but I'm still gonna give it a month or so before i test this out for myself. All else fails, I'll probably just buy some Red Army Standard!
I bought a Hi-Point 9mm carbine back in 1995. I shot it often because the ammo was cheap. No issues in over 15 years of constant use. I've never owned a Hi-Point handgun, so I can't speak to that, but if the handguns are anything like the carbines in terms of reliability and durability, it's a no-brainer. Hi-Point makes firearms that work. They might not be pretty, and they might have cheap plastic parts, but the plastic parts are put where they won't be an issue. These guns run great.
Appears that might have been a reloaded cartridge. Same exact thing happened to me with cheap 60 year old Chinese 223 ammo I found in my dad’s shed.
im a gunsmith, specializing on ars. if you procured a pile of bulk ammo or even reman ammo, this will explain why thats the only hornady in your stash. but if its remanufactured ammo it needs to be stated that it is indeed remans. thats another reason why knowing the source of your ammo is critical.
@yetisuncle666 it's possible this round came from the day when people either paid me in cash or ammo to use my range, and this one may have been one that was marked, "range use only" which is the "mixed bag of ammo" I mention when I test new firearms. I stopped the practice of people paying me in ammo after experiencing several firearm injuries coming into the ER, resulting from RELOADS. This may have been one leftover that I didn't catch.
Do you handload? Could be a round loaded a little too hot.
@optimisticpessimist. I do not reload for 2 reasons: too many distractions on the farm, and the biggest is all the injuries I see in the Emergency Department that are a result of reloads. This one was probably a random bullet from back in the day when I would ask for cash or ammo when people wanted to use my range. I stopped that practice a few years ago.
Golly, I wonder if it was a reload? Maybe poorly made brass from the get-go.
Is there space for a 3d printed shield in the lower?
@@ObjectiveGamer if there isn't enough space for a loose primer.....😆😆😆
From what I've heard this can be common so we better be ready for it.
Interesting malfunction. Thanks for sharing. Trump/Cruz 2024 🇺🇸 Freedom
What has my attention is how a rogue cartridge infiltrated your ammo? 🤔 And no idea where it came from, and that only this particular cartridge failed by blowing out the primer and shearing off part of the rim. That's what has my curiosity drawn to this mystery. 🤨
Oddly yt directed me to School of the American Rifle after watching this video. He pointed out that the gap between the firing pin and the bolt face was out of tolerance. I wonder if that might play a part of the primer ejecting. And the case rim failure.
Like my mom always says, If it's not one thing it's another! Good that you caught that bro.💥🇺🇸🤠
Me AK... AK good... ugh...
@@Soli_Deo_Gloria_. Same here! 🤣🤣🤣
TRUMP / CRUZ 2024!!!!

I run mostly ak platform for that reason, comrade. Dig your aks BTW!
I’ve had primers come out of reloads and jam. That case rim being ripped off is being over gassed. Either put a heavier buffer in or get an adjustable gas block.
Good info thanks!
The wolf piston uppers really need a heavy H2 or even better an H3 buffer. Anything under that those uppers tend to rip rims off the cases, and you will get early extraction problems, which can cause that exact issue
I had a random primer float around and get lodged in the upper inside the gas key preventing the weapon from going into battery. I've seen this in factory and reloaded ammunition, it's just something you need to watch out for. ;-)
? Replace with ak 😅😊 good catch and video brother
Ive seen so many crazy malfunction with ARs that i went to a galil that takes AR mags and life has been problem free ever since. Hate to say it but AK platform is superior
@onlyfords69 I wouldn't hate to say AKs are superior because with my experiences, I know they are. A Galil is definitely in my future! 🤠👍🦬🦅🪶🌩
Drop in cassette trigger is a must the milspec triggers are trash unless you have a full auto gun there is no point to the milspec triggers
Just checked my side rail mount and never realized it was sitting to the left on my wasr. No wonder I had such a hard time getting it sighted in
@@DrBadmind 😆😆😆
when their ammo came out i viewed videos of different rounds being tested, you could look at it and tell its the walmart of ammo and under powered, no way id buy any caliber of theirs.
Pa are awesome people that make awesome products
What scope and mount setup is on your sks?
@jacobcallahan590 the scope is a Barska 4x32. I believe in picked up the mount, which is a solid piece at a gun show. I am definitely looking at replacing the optic with a Primary Arms SLX Microprism 3x, once I find a mount I really like
@praktikalnurse504 did you have to drill and tap the main spring housing to install the mount?
this is what the Armed Forces of the Philippines are using I think
Man its been awhile since ive seen one of your vids but im not on youtube much anymore. But ibwas actually lookingnat this very rifle and you have sold me on it
I saw a full size jakl here in Pasadena gun show a few weeks ago. I filled the paper work and luckily before I paid I noticed that the side folder was really loose, it would not stay put. So I passed on it. Since then I have found a great deal on a colt m4 And my Beretta ARX 100.
@danneo653 PSA's QC has some issues they truly need to work out. Good for you for thoroughly inspecting the firearm. Michael Wong is a great guy to work with and hand picks the parts he uses to assemble a firearm.
Damn I want one now!
There's people still doing gun shows in 2024?
@johndeaux3703 I go to one about every other weekend
You didn’t mention that the charging handle can be swapped over to the right side. The discharged brass was very consistent. Will give you a call tomorrow. I need to come by and see you. Great review brother.
@timjohle8876 I try to keep my videos about 10 minutes or less. I should have included that when I was demonstrating the field stripping of the JAKL. Thanks for the reminder!.
Outstanding video. God Bless
There was a Harris Waltz ad before this vid how ironic
@@colby7625 funny how they slip that in. 🤔
Very impressed with the overall performance. Was thinking it was more of a cheap piston style rifle. Blew right through the water torture test. Glad you got your optic replaced. It sure looks nice👍. Hope to see more
WOW,,,,, NICE
It needs a camo paint job.
That was clever!! Can't go wrong with Wong!!🤠👍
