In this video we take a quick first look at the PSA KS47 rifle. This rifle is an AK/AR hybrid that fires the 7.62x39mm cartridge and feeds from standard AK-47 style magazines. You guys have seen other AK/AR hybrid rifles on the channel in the past, and the KS47 is a definite contender in the "not an AR" & "not an AK" market.

I have a 7.62x39 ar that takes the proprietary mags. I recently tried it at long range, its surprisingly easy to get on target with. I went out to 550 yards, it was awesome. I really want the ks47 now though.
I was going to try to improve the accuracy of my AK-47 by modification of the sights. I'm just going to get this instead.
I personally love palmettos stuff. They make a good product at a great price and it's made of good materials (7075 T6 Forgings). Is it a match rifle? no. But for the average guy, they're great. I've been looking to get into AKs but this is really tempting now as it uses AR parts.
edit: 12/19/16 I got one today for $439
So how do you like this thing?
@@1x1nDone I have both an ar and an ak from them and both have been great, I would expect this to be good as well.

I've had a PSA "AR47" upper for about 6 months now. It originally came with an unmarked BCG/ bolt that ran 100% but after less than 1000 rounds of supersonic Red Army Elite (brass, I'm a reloader) two gas rings had sheared off and some pretty gnarly corrosion/ wear was occurring inside the carrier. A lot of these rounds were run suppressed through my Liberty Cosmic while still in jail @ my SOT. PSA was quick to RMA my problematic parts and sent replacements out the SAME DAY they received my defective unit, which was pretty cool. The parts that were sent as replacements are marked "KS47/ Hybrid". Yet to test new parts with one of my cans, but has been 100% while loud! Thanks for the video guys, great content; as always!
Great video! This rifle looks really good to me. The power of a larger caliber, with the modularity of an AR-15. Very cool...
I binge watch this channel every chance I get. Packed with loads of valuable and accurate information. Keep it up!
I bought this gun off this video honestly. It was the MOE version on sale for 699. Put a 1-6 on it and called it a day. Good ass gun.

@Boucha S Khamphanh man you need serious help. 😐
I just contracted cancer...

Do you mean White Anglo Saxon protestants ?
I love my PSA's!!! One is 45 minutes from my house so you guys can imagine how poor I am....
you guys should start setting up and go Pro down range so we can have a video of the impact
man alive , god has blessed me abundantly, I live in the best time in history for firearms and , I live in Texas !!!😁

I feel the same, it's nice here in the free state of tn as well.
Moving to Arizona from CA. Can not wait.
Well Beto the Beta said you’re gonna turn it all in!
Hell ya 🇨🇱
Finally got to take mine out today, happy to report using Magpul AK mags zero issues! I was shooting Tula and Wolf poly coated. Everything feed flawless and all primer strikes were solid. I then put my PSA upper on my Spikes Tactical lower and fired the same ammo using C Products mags with the same results! This rifle is good to go!
Love shooting my Gen 2 KS 47. Rolling with a PA acss Raptor!
Your steel plates just called, they said they quit... Cool vid.
Wow. Such high quality production. First time I'm coming across your videos. Great work!
Palmeto's AR47 uppers are good too. I have one, and it's great. Heavy barrel, accurate and reliable.
I need to make a 6.5 Grendel upper 18" to 20" barrel 1/7 twist And still use your AK mags
Richard Martin let me know if the AK mag works with the 6.5 Grendel
Surpressed shots at distance. Win
"If your a fan of the 7.62x39 but not a fan of the AK " ????? I would have to ask wtf is wrong with you...
There are zero fans of 7.62 in a bolt action rifle, I can tell ya that much
I'm a big fan of the CZ 527.

In Canada AK's are prohibited, yet we can get an SKS for $150. ...and on that bombshell, government is stupid and shouldn't be classifying firearms.
you might prefer a rifle that doesn't wobble like a jelly when you fire it, and made out of a biscuit tin ?
Love it.
A couple of guys and myself are doing a Prarie dog hunt in western Kansas at the end of July. More than welcome to join us.
The weakness of this gun: The charging handle. Not having a bolt release or an AK-style charging handle is a problem. You can see this when Chad reloads around 18:00 mark. AR changing handles are just aluminum rectangles that get bent easily and should be handled as little as possible. I was very impressed with the KS47 until I saw this on the video. If the charging handle takes a sh*t or gets bent, your rifle is useless. And in an AR platform, with the crud in the upper, you have to use the forward assist a lot more if you rack the charging handle. The bolt release gives you a mechanical advantage and pushes the round into the chamber with more force. It's probably still a good gun, but I hope palmetto fixes this serious issue.
Palmetto makes good stuff , I have a 7.62 and 5.56 uppers,both are very accurate and have been ultra reliable as well.
All that rig is lacking is the "Fostec echo trigger (gen #2)".
Go Yoda! Finding the sounds of the shot, the impact, the echo and the trigger reset very hypnotic!
I see it takes those 30 magazine clips. dangerous!
* Those 30 caliber magazine clips. This is a ghost gun 👻
30 caliber clipazenes in a literal AR-47 assault machine weapon with a fully semi-automatic laser guided shoulder thing that goes up.
When they're shooting at 400, if you look closely at the shot of the targets, you can see the rounds arcing up and down through the heat, and see just how much they are lobbing those in there
*This looks like a neat set up. I wonder how its reliability would compare to a similarly priced AK pattern weapon.*
probably not nearly as good. AK is crazy reliable because of the loose lock up plus being over gased rarely ever needs to be cleaned AR doesn't like to get dirty
+David Winters Ouch, my feelings.
ummm....no...
+Relentlessv2 the 7.62x39 also adds better reliability on AK rifles. The tapered casing allowed to decrease the chance of a failure to eject.

I love PSA, but I am wary of these 7.62x39 ARs after the extractor broke on my Rock River LAR-47 after only 1200 rounds. Rock River called it "normal wear", so I traded it in for the CMMG Mutant. I don't think that the milled out AR15 bolt faces and extractors will hold up to the steel cased 7.62x39 very long. WRT Magpul mags in these type rifles, I had to relieve a few thousandth off the ends of the feed lips to remedy the interference with the bottom of the bolt carrier. After that they worked fine in the LAR-47. No issues using the Magpul mags with the Mutant
I have a PSA AR-15, works like a charm. If you're looking for a dependable AR for under $700 I highly recommend it. Mine has the stainless steel barrel.
You were getting a good beat there with the echo! "Chick-chick, chaa-chaa! Chick-chick, chaa-chaa!" XD
It's cool to hear the trigger reset.
I have two Psa Ar15's in 5.56, and one of their Glock Mag 9mm Ar's.. they are all awesome rifles that have ran flawless through tons of rounds... The KS47 is gonna be my next buy!!
Awesome. I would love to see a KS-47 meltdown. How long will it last. Those cmmgs are insanely durable.
Absolutely love it....7.62×39 ams shoot 300 blackout or 308...out of a ar/AK style calibers
Wow, I will definitely check this rifle out. I like this dude, seems really down to earth. Thanks for the upload.
What's with the upside down cross?
I have a windham weaponry so it’s a full on AR but mine’s chambered in 7.62x39 and I love it. I put a 4x scope and have been using it to hog hunt a lot
in AR config. the AK round is sent with accuracy, vs. the barrel movement of the AK. Also, if you're already used to AR / M16, the controls are the same MINUS THE MAG EJECT.
I have 3 ar15 chambered in 7.62x39. I love them. I use the standard lower with c products mag. I would like a lower that takes the ak mags though. I built mine with stainless barrel, free float handguard, stag parts kit, minimalist stock, spikes lower. I have $550 into each. Could have done $500 each, but nobody had Anderson lowers at time. If you reload, check out Colorado once fired brass. Can buy brass cases quite reasonably. Berrys has plated bullets also. Super reliable so far. About 1000 rounds through, i had marginal luck with asc mags to start.
Great video guys. Thanks. I did not know about this rifle. You guys always find really cool stuff to shoot.
Great video. I just bought a FM 9mm AR and immediately after saw that PSA has this AR-AK variant back in stock with a 10.5" barrel/pistol version. I'm buying one this week from PSA. Thanks for this video and I love you suppressed the rifle version of this AR-AK.
Glad I live extremely close to psa I get all of my firearms and gear from there
that rifle is sweet. it would be awesome to see something like that paired with one of those binary trigger units and see what that would look like with a 7.62x39
FINALLY ! A 7.62 x39 rifle thats not made from old Russian or Chinese fence posts !
Really cool. Apparently made of unobtainium alloy.
Surprising how visible the vortex is of those slow bullets at 400.
I really wish these could use standard AR uppers.
Really cool videos! just throwing this out there. I think it would be cool to see a video on your hunting rigs. Whether it be for hogs or deer, what guns you guys prefer and what ammo you use. :)
This is their day job......where did I go wrong?
How about a direct comparision video with this, the CMMG Mutant and the M+M M10X? They are similar and I would like to know which on eis the better one (effectivnes vs price).
I like the long range camera, but a close up camera near the target would be cool too. I'd love to see that little gopher smacked the shit out of close up! =)
Its so cool how if you watch closely you can see the rounds go down range, Keep up the good work!
I like that accuracy with those 7.62x39 ! Nice rifle !
That's with garbage ammo too
you fogot about the windham weaponry multi-calibar system it has a .223/5.56 upper with a quick change barrel system .300 blackout,9mm barrel & bolt carrier ,7.62x39 bolt carrier & magazine,a lower with a swappable 7.62x39 Mag well for ak mags,9mm mag well,.223/5.56/.300blackout 7.62x39 mag well for ar magazine
I love two rounds. 22 cal. And 762x39. People who think a 22 cal. Doesn't have knock down power was not aiming at the right spot. Shoot Straight My Friends.
I think Rock River arms " Lar-47 "was one of the first companies to make an ar-15 that excepted AK mags. They have a few versions. I like the Delta version but it's around $1,200.
June 2017 and I'm seeing these now selling for $600-$700!
Trigger Happy bought mines for 450 today
@@maceojackson4893 On a normal day, or a sale? Black Friday?
I always enjoy Iraqivet’s videos!
You guys need to do a meltdown video on one of these. Well if you could make it automatic that is. Pulling the trigger as fast as possible for 900 rounds may get a little tiring lol
After seeing this and the vid on the AR10 0.458 I cant help wondering what a 6.5mm variant would be like especially if it used the type used for precision bench rifle shooting. Interesting stuff guys. Very interesting indeed.
Love the 300yrd gopher smack-down that Eric dialed up! I have to say the gun is interesting. I want one!
Review on the 10.5" barrel please🙏
I have a 10.5 and it shoots good out to 300, 2 MOA with a good optic.
@@lrlapua8035
I see the KS47 in 7.62 a better alternative vs a standard 10.5" 5.56 AR pistol for power and function.
Never shot a gun, still very fun to watch, keep it up!
Fudge yes. I just ordered one after watching this video. Will be at my fll in 4 days
How was it?
I like that it takes AK Mags.
Palmetto state armory makes good rifles. People need to give them a try.
for some reason you remind me of fidel castro maybe it was that green shirt and the beard
You're not the first person to tell me that. It's a Swedish M59 combat shirt
+Iraqveteran8888 what do you think about this rifle as an sbr, or pistol for a truck gun?
+Iraqveteran8888 dear god another evil "assault rifle". And it takes Ak mags?! This is outrageous! 😱
I once made the mistake of wearing all green to work in St Patrick's day... I really only have OD Greek clothes though, between that and my beard, I ended up looking like a South American dictator. The struggle is real.
PSA!
PSA is a very underrated manufacturer. Would like to see more reviews on their products.
I'd really love to see PWS make a compatible upper in this caliber. A true blend of AR and AK
They have them now 😉
Thanks for the review! Had mine 2 weeks but have not got to shoot it. It's cleaned up and ready to go, I did discover mine will not accept Tapco 20 rnd mags. It accepts all my metal mags, and of course Magpul.
Great job!!! I know from experience that palmetto state armory has great products because I have a stainless steel 16in AR-15 and with iron sights I was hitting target at 430 yards and I don't have much experience. Last time I shot was in 2010. So these rifles are made with quality for a great price.
Awesome vid makes me want to build my own! Thanks for sharing guys.
WHEN ON EARTH WILL PSA RELEASE THEIR GEN 2 PSAK47?
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!! well they might
they did they just are never in stock
seriously! i check PSA website atleast once a week for a gen 2 barreled reciever. I really want forged trunions but im willing to settle for billet
+Jonathan Mead I know right?! I've personally checked once EVERY SINGLE DAY! It has been a wasted effort.
Well its been 4 months now
I got one of these this weekend at gun show! I did an even trade for my m&p core with an rmr! I haven't shot it yet, hopefully this weekend!
Its pretty funny that you just posted a Palmetto State Armory video when I literally just ordered two Palmetto State Armory BCGs and charging handle to build my brother and I's first AR
IDEA!!
Shoot the caps off of soda bottles a true test of accuracy :p
Loving the videos btw :) x
All the reviews I have seen on this rifle they have been using pmags. Even though he says they have used other mags he still runs the review with pmags. The KS47 is a picky monster and does not like a lot of the metal mags out there. It was designed to take pmags because the aluminum lower gets worn down by the steel mags, that’s why they run best with the pmag.
Right now at PSA... gen 2 KS-47s are 699 for carbine, 599 for the "pistol" with KAK shockwave...
Price must have really dropped since they hit the market.
Got one at a gun show brand new today for 450
What sources did you base your ballistics data regarding the effective stabilization range for the 7.62x39 round? I would like to read up more on it.
We got some amazing prairie dogs out here in Arizona between Kingman and Truxton
Chad is getting wicked bullet trace at gopher
I think the military should switch to 7.62X39mm. A gun like this would be cool so they can keep using the same modular platform with the extra ass kicking the 7.62 provides.
They maintain their energy at longer distances, but they also they also lose some accuracy. Not a veteran, but the couple I have talked to would rather have one of the 6.5mm variants for both more kick and good accuracy. Just thought I would throw it out for discussion.
The 7.62 was dropped as it was too heavy and it was recognised that you needed to carry way more rounds. The UK came up with a 4.85mm similar in proportions to the 6.5mm so damn good ballistics. NATO went for the inferior 5.56. Personally I would have thought Kevin Reicks was right and that 6.5mm would be a better compromise.
Its not like the military is hurting for a round with more impact but I can see your arguement. You hear all the stories of guys in Mogadishu and iraq taking 3, 4 sometimes even 6 rounds from a 5.56 to go down which is nuts. But a lot can be said about shot placement. 7.62 doesnt offer much practicality in weight or long range accuracy but yeah its a decent pill chugging downrange. Personally I think the 458 socom would be a fair replacement to the 5.56. Afterthe videos ive seen comparing the 2, the videos eric and chad have put up on the 458 it has the penetrating capabilities and the power you would want from your bullets but would also cut down on the weight... there is a big drawback to the 458 tho in that a standard ar magazine can only single stack 10 rounds as opposed to 30 556 rounds. Soooo that can certainly be a dealbreaker. But practical solutions to that problem can be found so who knows. Hell at this point a 300 blackout would be better than the 556 id suggest the 9x39 if it didnt suck past 100yards
Now the grendel is a sweet ass round.
Michael Dimodica it's not just about shot placement it's about bullet construction. M855 is the worst round to ever happen to the 5.56 caliber in terms of terminal effect on soft targets, and it just so happens to be what those guys in Mogadishu and Iraq were primarily issued (the military doesn't always make the best decisions.)
Mk262 is a modern round for 5.56 that actually gets the job done, even at lower velocities. It's not as simple as "7.62 make big hole, 7.62 better!" anymore.
Eric please review a sig556xi I think it’s right up your alley.👍
I kinda like that. That's the first AR/AK combo I have really liked. Gotta take a closer look.
Since it's not "beefed up" like the mutant, it makes me question the long term reliability.
Still, very cool gun and very cool video.
+Mickey Dicklips The bolt used is the same size as an AR15 pattern rifle, if I remember correctly. Because the 7.62 has a much larger case head, the wall of the bolt is slimmed down and the chance to break a lug off is much higher. Beefed up Mutant will be closer in reliability to an AK (even though technically the AR is more reliable with dirt and mud, check out forgotten weapons/in range if you don't believe me, they did a mud test)
***** I'm talking mostly about the BCG friendo
If I owned one (the KS47) I'd probably keep an extra bolt, or even an extra carrier, just like I do with my regular AR. Chances are, the average gun owner won't run enough rounds through it to make a difference, but it never hurts to keep a spare!
The average gun owner doesn't shoot enough to know when something breaks anyway...you're right. It's not a fault, it's more of a statistical probability. Think about it...people that own black rifles probably own more than one and you can only shoot one at a time
***** True. Thanks for weighing in, keep up the good work.
Just FYI... Per PSA the nitride is only on the exterior of the barrel... They do not do the bore...
ooooh. so can you use AR trigger groups in that thing?
It would be awesome if you made a video where you fed this rifle with several different magazines. Lots of guys have these guns now and a lot are saying they are very mag picky.
You should slug the bore on that gun and let me know what it measures out at. I was recently surprised to hear that some of the manufacturers are making 7.62x39 barrels with a .308 chamber rather than .310 or .311. it seems that the size difference isn't enough to cause a pressure issue and some people are saying that the .308 bores are more accurate.
Just a question, could you do a barrel change and run 5.45x39 out of this thing?
Unfortunately the magazine locking block is different.
I wanna build one with a wood stock and wood handguard. No tacticool stuff, just a fun gun and also to put some meat on the table. Get an unfinished wood stock if possible, use some black stain and emerald green to make a tiger stripe pattern and soak it in some linseed or other oil, no laquer....it be sexy!
i love watching the bullets fly :D
men we are in the fucking golden age of guns!!
Yeah, only no autos, no ease of transfer into NFA items, ATF feet dragging, liberal insanity, political corruption, NRA failures, and shitty Manufacturing quality out of the some of the biggest companies. Golden age I tell you.
Well when u put it that way. In the sense of how new and better weapon systems are being made lately it's unreal. But I guess the ol saying about seeing the glass half full rings true here
Jared Bush but hey at least we can file for NFA items in a trust! Oh wait...
No but really somethings are better. I just can't think of them right now.
Silver Age more like.
Those who don't comply with illegal laws had all the NFA firearms they want for years. Only the sheep who are too afraid of exercising their rights are restricted. The best method of resistance in the face of tyranny is to be so absolutely free your very existence is a threat.
Look at marijuana users, they don't have the consitution or federal law on their side, but because they are criminals they just violate the law and then politicians make up new laws to "legalize them". And yet we actually have the supreme law on our side and we cower in fear. Just look at all the tools on the sig brace like MAC.
Great vid guys. I've been wondering about this platform, thanks for the info. Also it was nice to watch the vapor trails on the vid.
I think one of the strongest arguments for the cmmg is the bolt.
You hid that PTSD very well after firing that drum in the intro! Props to you!
I need you to do a 1000 round torture test style video on this gun. I'd like to buy it while it's still in stock but i'm worried about long term dependability
I love 7.62x39 and I love AR platform... at least for easily run any kind of optics. Seems like a perfect gun then ;)
Looks like it handles recoil a lot better than an AK. The AR buffer system and lighter bolt makes a big difference in recoil.
Found my new dream rifle to be honest lol
If the AR and the AK had a baby, this would be the gun. Cool stuff. Best of both worlds I suppose.
