"Cheap" 7.62x39 Krink? First 500 Round Review. Riley defense.

I've heard many times in the past about Riley's rocky reputation with their AKs, but I truly believe companies can improve if they listen to feedback and constructive criticism. It's awesome that you're pushing against the stigma and giving it a chance instead of just writing it off like many other outlets on the Internet. It's exciting to finally have some Krinks back on the market!

[@pvt.snowball]

I'm not opposed to owning one, I just don't want to have to worry about them having issues after just a few thousand rounds. I do like the fact that riley defense is willing to learn from their mistakes like PSA with their early AK's (which weren't very good). It's promising that Riley is willing to fix things instead of completely ignoring problems and reselling the same trash over and over again like Century Arms.

[@Spartan73799]

​@@justusbryant7366which Century Rifle do you have? RAS-47 was Trash, Their N-PAP was trash and the receiver would warp, The Milled Centurion rifle would have major malfunctions. The VSKA at least when they came out would walk their barrels out after 1,000 rounds or so. The new one they have the Bulged Trunion is doing okay from what I have seen. Unless you have the WASR-10 which Century Imports.

[@ProbInsane]

I appreciate that you're trying to stay unbiased and realistic with your reviews. I really think that bolt deformation after 500 rounds is very telling of it's quality and possibly the overall quality of the parts used. I've never had a bolt have material rolling over like that out of the 10 AKs I've owned (which were all imports except for my KR-9 and Tula AKM kit build). Tail deformation is a non-issue, it happens to any rifle some more than others but a little tail deformation is definitely normal. It's interesting that the suppressor was giving less back gas than the booster was, that's kind of surprising. Great video, hopefully within time you can get that thing up to a couple thousand rounds and we can see if that bolt deformation gets worse because that's the only real concerning thing I saw.

The Putnik suppressor design naturally reduces back pressure by dissipating and bleeding gas through the front ports. Fun fact this style of suppressor can usually be fired effortlessly through a short barrel platform and not need an adjustable gas block like most Cans

If you frequently run pistols or SBRs, suppressed and/or hot from rapid fire, consider a machine gun barrel bag for a gun case. Fold it open for a nice surface to set hot guns and suppressors on, that won't burn or melt.

Nice run through. The wear and tear isn't that worrisome yet. The parts are new and will wear against surfaces. clean it up good and keep running it. Lets see how she does in another 500 or so. Keep up the good work! Wiah they had a wood version with the traditional Cone booster but that looks cool.

[@ethan5.56]

The tapco hammer face in my Wasr-10/63 definitely needs a good grind and polish. It doesn’t catch during a firing cycle but it’ll definitely catch if you rack it slow by hand. Great video as always

[@StraightRazWhor]

I remember you commented that you don’t have no go gauge, I had an RAK47 by Riley, after 1200rds the headspace walked out. The bolt was super hard to rack back after a shot, failure to eject. Threw a no go gauge in and the bolt closed effortlessly. Please hit this with headspace gauges before you make your final dictation.

[@R.Tafolla]

I don’t get why the safety selector cut in the receiver is so high on the rileys. It would be fine if they had an oversized selector stop plate like on zpaps and norincos. But without it, whenever you take it off safe quickly the safety lever always ends up going past the notch. Small annoyance from my experience with rileys

[@MURPMANMYCO]

You should just take the booster cone out of the 4 piece booster. You dropping that drum mag in the dirt from chest high should be a crime. The FSB has been notified....

[@bomaniigloo]

If the bolt wear is an issue, could one literally just not buy a WASR or some other imported bolt and check headspace? Once the riley bolt peens too much for comfort? Seems like a non isssue. I had an FEG AMD that looked the exact same after as many rounds
