It is crazy to me how expensive AK platforms have become over the last 10-15 years and how cheap AR platforms have become, especially considering the stamped-steel nature of the AK vs the aluminum milling work required for ARs. I know CNC machines have become more popular and as a result, have helped reduce AR costs but still, why are AKs so expensive?
AKs: increased demands and high investment costs to pressing machines. AKs also need so many manual work during manufacturing. AKs are only cheap to manufacture if you have a lot of low wage slave like it was during Soviet Union. Soviet designer Korobov made a level-delayed rifle (TKB-517) as an alternative to AK. This rifle costed half(!) as much as an AKM.
Same. I've been wanting to get one, but supposedly Resilient is working on a solution...so whether that's an adapter or a "Putnik 2.0" I'm waiting to see how that goes...
probably due to the fact that it would have to be timed perfectly to that gun/ suppressor. you want the suppressor tight down on the flange of the adapter so that its aligned prefectly striaght with the bore and cant move at all. as you could see in the video, you cant really do that with the detent slots. the booster is always alittle loose.
I grabbed the Sureshot .300 blk Krink on launch and it's been working great. It's my only .300 blk that doesn't need any adjustments. It has worked great subs and supers suppressed and unsuppressed.
The problem that that solves is not the gas pressure It's the dwell time. keeping bullet in the barrel long enough to fully pressurize the system if the gas Port is too near the end of the barrel the operating system isn't pressurized long enough to reliably cycle the action.
I have heard that people have already talked to him about these specific sanctions and how they are hurting the shooting community. And that they are looking to change things up with them and older Chinese weapons as well as getting rid of having to be compliant to the ATF standards. So we might get older Chinese SKS and AKs and Current Russian weapons and ammo for cheap again
that meme would lead you to believe that its a shitty alternative, but this is a decent AK. The ballistics aren't as powerful as 9x39mm, but still very deadly, and at least you can actually find ammo.
This little thing is absolutely awesomeness in a box.. BUT.... The ONLY thing I can find wrong with the whole issue is.. I'm Canadian... A deep love of firearms since 3 years old... My dad fed our family for decades off of hunting. I just grew up loving firearms fir all the reasons Steve Lee sings about in his song... THIS, is probably as close as I will get to one though. Thank you MAC for bringing this old guy some excitement...
I have a Polish mini jack AK pistol in 7.62x39. I use a Gemtech one can on it and it cycles 100% with the Russian silver bear subs. It puts the brass in a nice little pile maybe 3 or 4 feet away. No ear protection needed....it is so quiet. Shooting steel with it is awesome. It used to be you could buy 2 AK style rifles for what an AR-15 would cost. Now it is reversed....the cost of 2 basic AR's =1 basic AK.
Mac, that short gas tube on the hybrid gas system is a purposely designed failure point for the weapon should anyone make it fully automatic. The tube will overheat and melt under extended fully automatic fire, causing the weapon to become inoperable. Ingenious indeed.
Good to see you brother. As always. Hope all is well and God Bless. Also 5.7 is better than 9mm or any pistol caliber. Wait till you see my 40gr SM855 and SM855A1. Just got it back yesterday. Had to have the length corrected. Still have to order calipers to measure it myself. Should be good to go now looks good in a MK2 mag.
Shouldn't have to change the bolt or BCG. should be good right out of the box. PSA is schit. People need to spend a little more and get better stuff. Especially if they will or can only have 1 firearm.
How are you liking the Putnik? I love mine, running it on a PSA AKP and it pretty much has deleted any felt recoil from the weapon. Only problem is that I can't get PPU subs to cycle, probably due to the volume of the can.
The gas system is truly incredible, I'm just curious if there's any long term durability/erosion issues that can occur forcing gas to rotate 90 degrees 3 times.
That's a very innovative gas system as far as I know. I wonder what the longevity and durability of it will be with the gas rounding so many corners. I'm curious as to what kind of port throat erosion and fouling they'll experience.
I've had a 300BO for years now. Without any kind of special gas system, it's ran supers & subs with no problem. The ejection pattern is nearly identical regardless of the ammo being used. To me this sounds like fixing that doesn't exist....
id totally get one of those if they come down in price a bit, i think they are cool, but cant technically justify $1200 on "cool" as i already have the short .300 blk base covered.
It is a shame PSA won't do CHF CL barrels. As opposed to manufacturing their firearms to be real multi-generational killing tools, they instead seem to insist on making wall hanger talismans. You say you're impressed overall, but how many rounds did you put through the firearm? A couple hundred at most? Save the opinion until you have done several thousand, at the minimum.
For some Spec Ops I can see the .300 B O makes sense. But for civilian use it is absolutly stupid. Most people already have the same gun in another caliber. A new gun in a new caliber doesn't make you a better shooter. For shops and shoppwners perspective it makes sense. More sale - nothing else hint hint Tim!
What kind of velocity are you getting with the supers and that short barrel.... Never understood why 556 isn't capable of much higher velocities than it does with a shorty barrel. Is the powder different??
From what I've read, 300 BLK uses a faster burning powder so all of it is burnt in a 16 in barrel while 223/5.56 uses slower burning powder for 20-24 in barrels.
I hate this timeline. We get more toys without a proper change to the aks from psa. akm trunnions with a 74 bolt is not the way. Not dimpling the rivets is a massive failure as well.
I never understood the fascination with 300 blackout. To me it´s a missed opportunity. Why make it weaker than 7,62x39? Kinda weird because 300 blackout has more pressure than 7,62x39mm but it´s still weaker. Because it´s weaker it makes no sense to me. I understand the "fun of suppressing" part, but then you have a rifle sized weapon that shoots at pistol power.. which again makes no sense.
1. Ability to use standard 30 round AR mags and not goofy unreliable 7.62x39 AR mags. 2. Uses 5.56 brass, easily convertible to 300BLK. 3. Doesn't suffer from supply chain interruptions nearly as bad as x39. 4. Wide availability of barrels and uppers, swapping from 300BLK back to 5.56 is just an upper swap. 5. Has a wide availability of different loads, hard hitting 30 cal supers all the way down to mouse fart quiet subs. You have a quiet PCC and a regular rifle all in one.
Doesn’t that mean it can take hotter loads? Kinda like how 5.7x28 doesn’t have as much of a psi ceiling as 9mm but can be loaded hotter? The energy will never be matched but it can handle a variety of loads tailored to your purpose
Still do not get the 300 vs 7.62 x 39 .... boutique vs established. 7.62 x 39 is more than proven and now putting 300 back in a gun designed for 7.62 x 39 LOL Krink with an extra gas block.
I'm imagining the collective sigh of relief at PSA right now. "Holy crap Tim didn't break anything!"
😂
It's not dodge to break lol
Give it 1k rounds.
PSA schit breaks on its own😂😂😂 trash!!
Tim might not have. But production models will break. It's a PSA, that's what their firearms do.
The 300 Krinkout.

Sitting at home Krinking one out

Just points out the absurdity of the SBR's being on the NFA.

I'm completely confused on why the putnik didn't come with detention slots for the detent on a ak so that direct thread can wouldn't walk off

@@fairlylocal607same deal. I’m waiting on the upgrade and then will make the purchase. I’m patient… not buying a Putnik as is until that’s fixed.
Poorly designed
It’s so ridiculous. Just make your own warranty

That gas system is unhinged😂 hope it ends up being reliable though
The problem that that solves is not the gas pressure It's the dwell time.
keeping bullet in the barrel long enough to fully pressurize the system
if the gas Port is too near the end of the barrel the operating system isn't pressurized
long enough to reliably cycle the action.
Well, I'm sold
As an Australian I approve 👏
I've been watching your channel since the day dot and love all your videos keep up the great work 👍
x39 might be back on the menu in Jan!

i would like a 9x39 AK
"we have 9x39 AK at home"
the 9x39 AK at home:
i need this. i need many of this.....
that meme would lead you to believe that its a shitty alternative, but this is a decent AK. The ballistics aren't as powerful as 9x39mm, but still very deadly, and at least you can actually find ammo.
9x39 is a dumb round anyway
Wait for 338 arc krink for 9x39 experience
PSA products are awesome 😎👍👍. I absolutely love my PSA AR9 !!!!

OTS 12 and OTS14 did that gas system before psa was even born.
And 10 years before the OTS 12 we had the HAC-7, which I mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching.

Subsonic 7.62 x39….when you want a bolt action AR/AK.
Uh, just buy a PWS upper and a few Duramags.
(LRBH and a bolt release....imagine that!)
That suppresses so nice.
This might be my favorite gun review, so cool
I am waiting to get one of these. I want the modern looking one. It’s so sweet. I love 300 blk. My favorite cartridge for sure.
I have the plum GF5 AKM from PSA! Seems to be decent 🤷♂️
That flame coming from the chamber at 7:39
Maybe that dwell time isn't so great ,huh?
They need to change the thread pitch
I love it innovation in arms is a good thing
If PSA could just * * * FIX THEIR AK74s * * *
First, that'd be great
What is wrong with them? Genuine question out of curiosity. I don’t own any
196gr Brown Bear was designed for a 16 inch barrel.
Great review!
PPU and Hornady make widely available 762x39 subs. The Hornady is a 255grn. at 1050fps
Mac, that short gas tube on the hybrid gas system is a purposely designed failure point for the weapon should anyone make it fully automatic. The tube will overheat and melt under extended fully automatic fire, causing the weapon to become inoperable. Ingenious indeed.

That "taper" on the bullet is called the ojive.

Was originally waiting on the 545 version but decided to get the blackout instead. 100% the correct choice. It’s a dream to shoot.
1000% right cnoice!
I like PSA. They run really well. People beat the crap out of them, change the bolt and its runs again.
Shouldn't have to change the bolt or BCG. should be good right out of the box. PSA is schit. People need to spend a little more and get better stuff. Especially if they will or can only have 1 firearm.
Love 300 blackout
Lets recognize Resilient for putting out some quality affordable suppressors 👌
im sure there will be a revision or two after the first batch getts some rounds through them
Here before the Jesus is king guy
😂😂
Jesus is king.
He will be here soon.
Lol😂😂😂
Might wanna look up the mockers and scoffers in the last days bible verse just sayin

Oh baby.
Trying to get my hands on one, but what I want is out of stock. Being patient
This will sell big time
That's a very innovative gas system as far as I know. I wonder what the longevity and durability of it will be with the gas rounding so many corners. I'm curious as to what kind of port throat erosion and fouling they'll experience.
Ultimate test: will it cycle the Hornady subsonic 😈
Is there a magazine that could be used to hold the bolt back? Or is that not an option?
I've had a 300BO for years now. Without any kind of special gas system, it's ran supers & subs with no problem. The ejection pattern is nearly identical regardless of the ammo being used. To me this sounds like fixing that doesn't exist....
You have had a .300 blk AK for years?
Love it, question from an oppressed Californian : is there no can that can make supers hearing safe?
ok now I'm thinking about getting a krink
I wish 300aac would drop in price. Built a nice truck gun but shit the ammo costs alot lol
Hell yeah…🤙🏻🔥🇺🇸
My gun 300 blk pdx from maxim is louder with federal. I can get better sound out if minute man or hornady for sure.
that krink with the can literally sounds like a russian typewriter!
Whole I'm not an AK fan boy I do like the look of this, but I'd prefer it with oiled wood, fixed stock, and a Wolverine can..
Are you going to SBR? Can surplus bakelite mags be used?
id totally get one of those if they come down in price a bit, i think they are cool, but cant technically justify $1200 on "cool" as i already have the short .300 blk base covered.
Agreed. I think the brn 180 is probably a better value but I'm still glad to see this come to market!
those fat cans are soo cool looking!
I like it!!
Seen this in 223 honestly 300 makes alot more sense for something like this ak74u type platform or any sbr

This small Garmin shit is brilliant.... just saying...
Hehehehe. Krink goes tink

Finally
shoot it past 3000 rounds and see if the bolt survives without dying
Most $1000 AR’s won’t do 3000 rounds.

Could you do a review on the OA Defense 2311?
Why do we need a 300BO Krink when 7.62 Krinks exist? 300BO and 7.62 are pretty comparable cartridges, but one is significantly more affordable.
That affordability part may very significantly from place to place
