When I picked up my KS47 over the summer, I got a chance to compare it side-by-side with the CMMG Mutant. Right away, you can tell the Mutant is just plain bigger and bulkier (AR10-based). I thought the added mass was overkill. The KS47 is the best pick for non-AK that takes plentiful AK ammo and mags. Very accurate and great trigger.
I was able to score hits on a 24" steel plate at 1000 yards with my KS-47 last year. I need to get back out and do it again. I reviewed it and liked it very much.
How is that possible? Isn’t 7.62x39 or anything short of full power rifle cartridges able to hit targets that far?
Luis Maiocchi lmao
Luis Maiocchi with patience and ammo to spare no doubt lol also a good optic, some match grade ammo, and a ballistic calculator to help dope your scope wouldn’t hurt either.
@@MPdude237 yeah right I've seen guys poke steal at a thousand yards with a 5.56 bro
@@MPdude237 At 500 yards there is a 124 inch (10 foot) drop! He must have been lobbing it in like a mortar round.
I have the 10.5 version of this rifle and it has been great. It also runs great with my suppressor.
I know this is a little late, but i'm thinking of getting the 10.5 version too. Have you had any problems since you commented in 2021? Thanks.
Should do a meltdown video with the KS-47. It would be interesting on how long it would last.
The satisfying sound “ping” from 300 yards
I put a Larue Tactical MBT flat-faced trigger in mine and a V6 Gamma brake on it as well, with a Vortex 4x12x44 scope, and with 154 grain Wolf SP its a tack driver. That MBT trigger is amazing in this rifle. I am going to use mine for deer hunting from 50-200 yards, this is the farthest shot I'll have when I hunt and where I hunt.
I am impressed with the KS-47 so far I got about 500 rounds through mine, not a single issue. Eats every 7.62x39 that I have fed it.
Ammunition used:
Winchester 123-grain FMJ
Tulammo 122/123-grain FMJ and 154 grain SP
Wolf 123 FMJ/154-grain SP
PPU 124-grain SP
Norinco 123-grain
Silver Bear 125-grain SP/ 123 FMJ
M67 Yugo ammunition 123-grain FMJ
Red Army Standard 123-grain FMJ
So any thoughts on the Tulammo 154 gr soft point vs the Wolf 154 gr in this rifle?
I love mine; a good charging handle is a must. I have the Radian Raptor and love it.
I put a Devil Dog Concepts hard charger side charging handler conversion on mine and love it. Thinking of throwing a law side folding adapter next.
Thank you for making the video.
I’ve been searching for a rifle like this for over 10 years. So glad to see the A.R. 15 control group paired nicely with a 7.62x39 and aK magazines.
I would love to build one but the damn parts are never in stock
All good things in time. But it is worth the wait. A mild muzzle brake does good for keeping the muzzle still with the larger round. Not bad with the a2 f.h. though.
Nobody Too You nice lol nice
They are today for complete rifles
Hi Eric.
If you are going to zero a rifle that uses AK ammo, I'd probably suggest zeroing it the way Soviet military does: zero it at 110 yards with MPI being 10 inches above POA. With bulk surplus 7.62x39 ammo, it'll give you a 12 inches above POA at 220 yards and be pretty much dead on at 330 yards.
if you are wondering what that clicking sound is after he fires that is the matelic click you hear when you "SQUEZZE" the trigger and hold it until the round is sent, not pull the trigger! Excellent shooting!
That red dot. "Made in the USA" You mean "Designed in the USA assembled in a different country". Hopefully they don't see the InRange video on it!
Something tells me he isn’t a big InRange guy lol
I'd love to see you guys review the PSA PA10. Sounds like their quality has gotten a lot better over the last few years. Their gen3 AR10 has easy adjust gas blocks and it would be great for you guys to review that whole setup. Mine was borderline over gassed but performs great. I think it would give you guys a lot of topics to work in comparing ar platforms, performance, and things that wear down the AR platform.
I love my PSA Gen 3 AR10. I shoot flawlessly for me atleast lol
FYI, a recommendation from the PSA Facebook groups: replace your extractor (not the whole bolt) with a Young's Manufacturing x39 extractor.
@@ODB_ I know they only list the whole bolt, but some members of the PSA user group on FB have said that they reached out to Young's and were able to buy just the extractors. YMMV
Tha ks for this tip
Just had to send my bcg in to get the extractor replaced under warranty. It failed around 600 rounds. But I still love shooting the thing.
Ive got over 1000 through mine and nothing has broken on it.
Broken 2 extractors and chipped feed ramp before getting to 1000 rds
I bought one while on deployment a year ago and is waiting to get home to build it. 😁🙏🏽
@Patriotic Patriot 😁🙏🏽
holy trigger reset bat man.
it would be cool if you did a 7.62x39 ammo test with this specific rifle.
The Yugo AK magazines have a last round bolt hold open, theoretically they should work in this as well.
They do!
@@dcyphyr Weapontech BHO followers work too.
I bought one of these a couple of years ago. Love it. Just seems so solid and well built
1 KS47 lower
3 uppers
7.62x39, 6.5x39 and 9x39
CSSPECS mags
Sounds good
Is it possible
Would rather have 5.45
@@stanleyhall6102 🤷🏽♂️
Charging handle with a extended grip levers is a must for this rifle.
If Barry was still with us he’d be proud of what y’all have built! Love your work!
I subscribe to Kalashnikov Koncern on TH-cam and they did a shout out when they burned down their AK12! It was heart warming!
PS I totally want a CMMG Mutant! Bec I’m a savage and I love 7.62x39 and it’s as cheap as rifle ammo gets! Very capable blasters!
You could get a 16" PSA KS-47 and a 10.5" PSA KS-47 pistol for the same price. The Mutant is a great rifle, don't get me wrong, just pricey $$$.
A gentleman by the name of SmallArmsSolutions has several professional videos on AR hybrids, including this rifle and the Mutant. He even did a comparison between the Mutant, the KS-47, and 2 other AR hybrids!
I highly recommend watching his videos for his authoritative review of the rifles.
Sweet, just recent acquired one in a trade, would love to see a direct comparison between a “good” AK and a KS-47.
I bought one last year and "I LIKE IT!!" Almost my favorite rifle.
what's your favorite?
@@idk8964 CMMG AR10
Hey guys back when you first reviewed the m+m m10 you all promised a comparison of 762 ammos unless i missed it i don't think it ever happened with the recent videos this one and not an ak video think you all could work that in some time i love the content that you all create and all the information that you all share unbiased and stright to the point ive watched hours and hours of your videos for years now and never have i ever felt that you all were in this for yourselves and that is absolutely amazing again thank you so much for the content stay safe i hope you all have a great day
I've done multiple videos on this gun and I'm still watching your video on it because I love it so much, lol.
I own two of them and they both perform. Both the 10.5” pistol and my 16” carbine are fantastic! Great bang for the buck, especially at 17cents a round!
Yeah .17 a round has changed now with the Ukrainian Russian conflict.
I see a lot of unhappy hogs with this gun.
That's exactly what I use it for.
I am seeing a full deep freeze 😁. Lol
I don't have the ks but the hogs on my place hate the AK and AR chambered in this round.
Just picked up An 8.5 inch pistol version of the AR 47. And It has preformed flawlessly so far
I love my KS-47 with a 3x acss reticle scope!
I just want the PSA74 already
I'm definitely getting one. Thanks for the review.
*_Fun Fact:_* The Kalashnikov Group channel gave Eric and IV8888 channel a shout-out in their most recent gun busters AK-12 video ;)
Love your videos! Rewatching this video in particular and I see I’ve already commented 😂 I really enjoy watching videos on this channel!
Bought one a couple weeks back, great deal
This is my corona gun, ammo so cheap and I still get to shoot an AR! Best purchase I made this year.
I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking "Melt it down!!!!!!!"
@IronRain 15 yessssss!!!!!
Why? Anyone knows after a certain point the materials will fail under constant fire.
@@1014p because meltdown videos arent about IF it will fail... its about when it will fail and how awesome it will look when it does
Wishin I could go shooting, greetings from Ireland
@comentator comentates i cant go shooting simply because firearm ownership in ireland is nowhere near as commonplace as it is in the us.. not because of the pandemic.. take your conspiricy theories elsewhere
@comentator comentates Please tell me your trolling...
Weren’t you the ones that rebelled against NATO you’ve gotta have some type of firearms
@@Hornet_221 You tell him , firearms legislation this side of the pond is as barmy as that in the US , Just More Draconian ! , do You run a .22 Hornet ? , Just Me being nosey ! Stay Safe & Stay Well ! ,
@@yeeyee395 Lemme clarify. Legally owning a firearm* is not as commonplace lol. and it wasnt nato perse it was the british
Id love to get one. Yet almost everything on the PSA website says not available . Its nuts as guns , parts, uppers and lowers are not available or rather sold out.
I hear ya bud. I just built an AR47 and had to outsource parts from about 6 or 7 suppliers. And getting ammo is even harder. I been contemplating building another rifle in a really off caliber just so I know I can get ammo. Stay safe bud.
@@johndel1971able 7.62x39 is easier to find and cheaper than 556 right now. You have to do some looking, but there's more options. I'm not sure what other caliber for an AR platform would be easier/cheaper than 7.62x39.
@@MrMastablasta117 I actually think your right bud. I been looking today online and I did see quite a bit available. I'm not much of a 556 guy but I'm also heavily invested in the 300 bo platform but that's impossible to find. I'm new to the AR47 as this is my first build in that platform, haven't even shot it yet. I love the round just little concerned on the bolt reliability from some of the things I read. Thanks for responding and the info Sir, be safe.
@@johndel1971able if it makes you feel any better, I have a bear creek Arsenal upper in 7.62x39 with about 1400 rounds through it and a few hundred suppressed. I always inspect all my parts closely when I clean and don't see any cracks or excess wear on my lugs. I've never been a 556 guy either lol I like shooting 30 calibers and give my friends a hard time about shooting 22 caliber 556 haha
Get an ak if you want 762x39, my ks47 didnt even last 1000 rounds before breaking and the recoil feels much worse than 308 with h1 buffer, even with h3 buffer it has more recoil than an ak. Also not too reliable, i had a failure every 150 rounds or so (light primer, FTE) what stopped it was one of the lugs in the barrel itself sheared in half and and another deformed, i had a stuck casing and the extractor broke removing it
thanks
This makes me wanna shoot my cmmg mk47 but I don’t think it’s destined to shoot more than 7 rounds, thanks cmmg
I have a full custom D.Wilson built KS-47. LMT bolt. Black rifle arms barrel. Hog blaster. MOA with Horn Daddy black. Compliments my 6.5 Grendel.
I have the same set up, and love it. The price point is excellent, but I did have a few issues with it, like light primer strikes, and sometimes failure to eject, while using Putin-Ammo. Sent it back to PSA under warranty, and they took care of it, no questions asked. Im a happy camper with it, and those pigs in South Ga dont stand a chance.
Did the firing pin ever pop out of bolts after firing over 200 rounds
FYI white paint is cheap & easier to see than black paint
But it doesn't show up hits as easily as black. So black is better for on video.
They are stupid af
mutant children they are
If you’re using an illuminated reticle black painted targets work pretty well. Even if you aren’t though, the black shows hits really well.
I use orange krylon. $3 FROM BIG LOTS.
@Jones 👍
There you go again Eric, using the trigger reset 'click' to yank the trigger for the next round. I know the military taught that, but it's bad technique.
Reset the trigger and return to the 'wall' instantly upon firing.
Just some friendly advice.
I have a standard AR15 in 7.62x39, and I the magazines are a weakness. I have a few reliable ones, but it’s a cludge as the rounds always want to cant in the straight section of the mag. This necessitates a very strong spring that causes feeding issues. Using AK mags is a huge advantage in this caliber.
Unimags have been great for me.
@@matthewbeaver5026 I have read reviews of Unimags being too wide to drop free from most mag wells. That, combined with the $40 price tag when they were first released has kept me away. I see they are on clearance right now. How do they fit in your mag well?
I have CPD 28 (my preferred mag) and 30 round mags that work great. ASC 20 and 10 rounders are ok. D&H 30 round also works, but the curve is so ridiculous that it won’t fit in any mag pouches.
@@kingwiththeax6880 yeah the first three have. Have a few more I haven't tried yet.
Better than asc ymmv
PSA lower
The reset oh my
Thanks
Now that is cool
John Cagle/ Thank You for saying something how you liked the Video. Not like some that just FIRST! :)
Love your channel.
I need one of these stripped lowers to build up a badass 7.62x39
Lowers are in stock often, good luck on upper part.
Real revisiting is a good old meltdown video to see how it stacks against the CMMG MK47 mutant. Great video, love your content, keep it up.
I picked up a KS47 yesterday...Can't wait 2 run it
With all the AK debacle recently should I go with KS 47 since AK are really expensive right now
Run it? Why don't you just shoot it?
Hey so I been trying to get a PSA KS-47 for some time now. They've been sold out on their website for some time now. I've found similar rifles at local gun shows but they all have side charging handles instead of AR-15 Style and they all take AR-47 Mags as opposed to the KS's AK mags... I'm in Dallas if anyone can point me in the right direction. Even if I have to build it. Thanks and keep up the great videos guys!
Just check everyday between noon and 5pm
Got a video of my KS47 10.5" drilling on my channel. Just topped it off with PA 2x.
I got the 8.5" variant a couple months back and due to multiple less than ideal circumstances have only been able to get maybe 150 rounds through it. I also have the SBPDW brace on it and a comp and let me tell you this is an angry gun. I got some pics of the fireball in full daylight and not only is it still ridiculously bright but the fireball itself is as long as the gun and engulfs my hand for a split second every shot. So I definitely need a flash cone for it.
Also fun fact, I bought the MOE stocked lower and 8.5" upper separately and as per ATF letter, a lower receiver isn't a rifle until it's had a barrel affixed to it, so if you get the stocked lower and throw a brace on it before you throw the upper on it, it's fair game. (no I didn't write a letter, I just found it online)
Depends how your FFL transfers the lower. It should be done as other/reciever. I had to tell mine so much, he had been doing them as rifle or pistol w/e the customer said they were building..
I like it. Maybe i will have to get 1.
I have both the mutant in the ks 7 and I love my ks 47 more
I built one with a ks-47 lower and a gibbz arms side charger upper made for the ks47.. Rainier arms match barrel! Haven't been able to shoot it with the current virus fiasco!
Thinking about building one like this. How's yours holding up? Any bcg or extractor issues?
Thanks for the video, I like to watch 2 main channels, yours & Jerry's. Keep up the great work!
That's a really cool gun, if I was in the market for 762x39 I would definitely be picking one up, If I could find it lol
I JUST received mine! I had to purchase the upper and lower separately because the didn't have the rifle in stock (I saved a few hundred as well). Haven't shot it yet but Im pretty stoked!
Love my ks47 topped off with a primary arms acss 1-6x and a jp trigger that thing is boringly accurate out to 350yds on 6”-8” targets. Gets a little harder soon as I get it out to 400yds but definitely doable especially on my bigger plates. Shoot a lot of wolf 123gn hp and the Tula 122gn. My son is actually going to use it for deer season this year got some 120gn federal fusion and 123gn hornady sst for him to try out. Even at 8yrs old he’s shooting 3”-4” groups with it at 100yds which when hunting he’ll probably never have to take a shot that far.
I ended up putting a Geissele flat trigger in mine and a aero comp. shoots super flat and fast 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Cool,
I have a larue mbt2s in mine and a vg6 precision gamma brake.
I love my ks47 pistol, runs great. It needs an adjustable gas block to run suppressed tho, it was ejecting at like 1 o'clock and would fail to feed every 3 or 4 rounds. It also dosnt take every handgaurd, I had to file my midwest industries rail to get it on.
It fails every 3 or 4 rounds and you love it? Are you going to send it in, or hope it fixes itself?
@@5jjt it ran 100% unsupressed. You didnt read my comment.
One thing not mentioned is the palmetto ks-47 has a forward assist and the CMMG mutant does not have a forward assist.
I put a Devil Dog Concepts Hard Charger on mine. I did have to modify the hard charger slightly to make it work, but it is wonderful.
F palmetto we get Tess in gear and making upper with a 20" Heavy straight fluted barrel 1/8 twist And a 6.5 grando you'll still be able to use AK 47 mags
I am going to have to cancel my BDU subscription... I hate to, but 90% of the time. When I try to order something they're out of stock.
The KS-47 is awesome. Upgrading the upper receiver to a Gibbz side charger makes it one of my favorite. PSA customer service...not so good.
So you are saying that that upper works with the psa lower?!
I am trying to figure out how to make this rifle side- charge and have a bolt release before I buy one and get stuck with something that nothing else works with-
@@swamplight79 the Gibbz uppers work with any lower. Gibbz uses a proprietary cam pin, which replaces the milspec cam pin. This new cam pin may be found on their website and I believe Gibbz explains the, how & why. If you’ve built an AR upper, the Gibbz upper will be just as easy. Just remember to swap-out the cam pins or the milspec bolt carrier will become jammed in the Gibbz upper, which they warn you about. I made the decision to purchase several extra cam pins, just in case. Two is one; one is none.
@@bemyers123
Two is one; one is none
Amen to that
Ive never built an ar upper--- just swapped parts--- but I believe I can change a pin...
My whole thought is that though the standard charging handle is handy and ambidextrous--- having to charge it every time aftervreloads if there is a scope on there and no bolt release makes side- charging almost a necessity...
?!
Thanks for the reply
And im guessing that the different geometry of the ks47 bolt face--- having the shorter center bottom lug to barely graze over the mags--- would NOT affect the functionality of the ks47 bcg in that gibbz upper...?!--- and that psak trigger would still interface the same...?!
That Leupold optic looks like 1995 red dots
The year after was all about the first gen EOTech
Love the range and camera angles!
Eric and chad must of had the only functioning gen1 in existence, cause I don’t want to believe they are advertising agents.
The only downside to these is the extractor tends to break around 500-700 rounds. So get a couple extra in the grip and you're good to go.
They’re 25$ plus shipping, the cost offset by the 7.62x39 is completely lost by replacing the extractor constantly.
Mornin fellas
MELT IT DOWN!!!!
What is the tripod and weapon grip in your thumb nails? Keep up the good work!
So you should be able to use MOST Ak mags? Any suggestions as to what brand mags would be best for this lower/upper.
On the palmetto state armory website they state only a handful of AK mags are compatible. (KS47 Gen2) Just trying to get a idea before I buy different brands 😅
I've enjoyed mine for several months now. Maybe a silencer soon?
From a guy that has been there done that teetering around the, "maybe next month" or trying to play around wait times, just do it.
Seriously, just file the paperwork. You'll spend years waiting to purchase before you even start the actual return process.
Sucks that PSA is scalping us. They increased their price by 30% since March on ks47 uppers and lowers.
I was ready to buy one too. I emailed them asking what they changed to justify the steep price increase. I've yet to get a response.
2023 I built one for 450,
Blem upper I picked up in the store and ordered the lower on Father’s Day sale for 250 shipped.
PSA MELTDOWN REVISITED
PSA CHF M4 Upper. Put in a new gas system and let's see how it shoots?
I have the cmmg and this rifle and this is my workhorse hogs and deer going for black bear this year with it almost 100000 rounds and still has crisp rifling but the case deflector has been taken a beating
100k rounds ? No way.
I want to build an upper for one of these in 6.5 Grendel.
This rifle is beautiful. Why am I seeing this 7 months later?!
These are cool hybrids. Btw, would love some more black powder content, if you’ve got the itch
That trigger reset tho
I don’t know why as an ak guy I find a ar chambered In 762x39 so cool even though I am not a big fan of ar15s
Does the handguard have anti-rotation tabs or pins? I couldn’t make any out when the camera went over that area.
Can y’all make a ar15 build with one lower and different caliber uppers and scopes to kinda have an all in one gun?
Yes and no. I have a standard 7.62x39 upper, it works well, but the standard ar15 mag well doesn't work well with the angles on 7.62x39, so while the five round magazine works well, there is no reliable 15+ round magazine. Further, as the magazine well is designed for thinner ammunition the magazines are inefficient and long for the fatter ammunition. So you can put a lot of calibers on an ar15 lower, there are compromises that must be made.
Really wish I could get one but the uppers and lowers I want have been out of stock for months
Besides my vepr ak 47, this psa ks 47 is so much fun!
I will keep using my VZ58.
Only Leopold would put a red dot on scope rings...
mepro m21 no battery needed ever. 100% on all the time
I was considering using that lower to build a Maxim PDX. I just couldn't really do it. Made no sense.
Appreciate review. Cant wait to run mine when it arrives.
That KS47 you have seems to be a bit less accurate than mine. It's hole in one all day out to 200yds with a red dot and magnifier.
Very interested in getting one of these now that they’re back in stock..the comments about broken extractors at only about 700 rounds worries me quite a bit. I want a very reliable weapon, just like my GF3
My original extractor never broke , but PSA now sells an “enhanced tool craft extractor” so I went ahead and upgraded. The KS47 is my go to thermal hog hunting rig.
