PSA GF5 Romanian Underfolder Review

[@mikebass9943]

Thank you sir for not being one of so many (killer operators) that are so nauseating . Keeping it simple, but intelligent is the most important to me. Very well done , thank you sir.

[@triplefshooting]

Thanks!

[@Jobey-sy2dk-Jobey]

@mikebass9943 I agree completely.

[@jacobspicer6346]

I’ve watched this like 5 times I’m so excited to get mine

[@triplefshooting]

Seems we have the same sickness lol

[@Grizzlyman420]

How’s your ak holding up? I didn’t get a Romanian kit but I got their in house GF5 and seems pretty solid. 300 rounds no issues

[@jacobspicer6346]

@@Grizzlyman420 it’s holding up great no issues like a good ak should

[@michaelbieber4502]

Good show! Just picked up one of these. Can’t wait to shoot it.⚡️💥🔥😎✨⭐️💫

[@earlmorrison8163]

Nice !! Thanks for the testing !! P.S. The bayonet is wicked lookin !!

[@triplefshooting]

I sincerely enjoy some bayonet action. Not many uses anymore, but at least the ak bayonet doubles as a crappy wire cutter!

Just ordered mine yesterday from psa

[@bfgivmfith]

Informative! Thank you! I have a Romanian Under folder with a reverse Dong! LOL! And a Under folder from PSA without a dong. I would not try any mag on the Romanian other than a typical 30 round mag.

[@triplefshooting]

Usually anything other than 30s is a little overkill anyway with weight. It is sometimes worth running a 20 rnd with the dong. Makes reloads a bit easier, but I don't know that it's worth losing 10 rnds

[@dylanjackson9286]

I have one of these exact guns and have only fired around 200-300ish rounds through it so far but I’ve found the underfolder to be actually somewhat comfy as long as I don’t push it crazy hard into my shoulder. Also at the end do the video when talking about the muzzle break you could put on it, Do you have a good example of one? I might be interested if there’s no serious cons to doing so

[@triplefshooting]

A lot of companies just call them a slant brake. They're actually very affordable and come standard on many AKs. I believe you can get them for less than $20. Not a huge difference in felt recoil but it does seem to keep the muzzle down a bit

[@nahbarbarism1992]

Does the rifle use swell neck rivets where appropriate?

[@triplefshooting]

I am honestly not sure. I would need to reach out to PSA but I doubt they'd respond to little ol me. From the little I've researched them it seems like people get pretty conflicted on whether or not to use them in semi auto builds. Given this rifle is supposed to be a military parts kit, I guess it would come down to whether the Romanians used them, and whether PSA kept true to that.

[@calebclark6739]

I don’t like the low angle stocks. Straight back Arsenal and Npaps look much better

[@cd-kd8mb]

Who cares.they all work

[@ve_nom9605]

Would you recommend the gf5 or the gf3 underfolder can’t really decide thoughts?

[@triplefshooting]

I think the gf3 would serve just fine for a long time. The only thing that really sets the gf5 apart is the premium barrel. If you're going to be jacking around and plinking for the most part, the 3 is probably the way to go. If you're really worried about the barrel lasting forever, I'd go with the 5.

[@triplefshooting]

Also, the underfolder is almost only for cool factor. They sort of suck to shoot compared to any other stock. That said, I do like the "Romanian/Chinese" underfolder angle better than the straight back "polish" angle for sure. Simply saves the face from some of the beating. I am also a wimp.

[@kevingates503]

The rear trunion is not romainian but polish akms

[@triplefshooting]

From what I understand this rifle is a romanian kit with the fn barrel and psa receiver. The downward angle suggests the trunion is romanian. The polish akms that we have has a straight angle on the folder, unlike the downward cant of the romanian.

[@kevingates503]

@triplefshooting the angle is determined by the holes in the arms of the stock not the trunnion and a actual romanian trunnion only has 2 rivets I have built 2 pm md 65 kits and seen several others

[@triplefshooting]

@@kevingates503 well crap. I'm gonna have to look into what PSA is actually selling now. Thanks for the info

[@tucsonjack3991]

Nice rifle but … I’ll go with the Polish style with no dong and a straight rather than slanted stock.

[@triplefshooting]

We hopefully get to a video with ours sometime soon. They are nice guns for sure

[@Lexluther120]

Will this take psa JL Billet AK Dust Cover and hand guards u have any idea jw?

[@triplefshooting]

I believe it will. As with all ak handguards and such it may take a bit of fitting on your end.

[@jfuzzymans9080]

Bro Lex Luther how are you going to remove the sexy dong to put that tactical modern stuff on? Obviously it’s yours and idc what you do to it but goodness sake man the reverse dong on this baby is one of the sexiest things I’ve ever laid my eyes on(asides for Yanet Garcia) and anyway I would use a different AK to put modern rails on and leave the seductive reverse dong on this one.

[@Gator69420]

How do I know what mags to Get for my G5? sounds like it’s hit and miss ?

[@triplefshooting]

Most mags seem to fit just fine. Romanians are a good way to start since the parts kit is romanian. If yours is an American made Gf5 you're probably still ok with those. The Bulgarian polymer or steel mags also seem to be a fit across the few aks we have. The only issues I've had are the US Palm mags and the Croation mags.

[@WillScaryForCandy]

Jesus, that top cover to selector fitment is abhorrent.

[@triplefshooting]

Being a parts kit, I'm not sure who's more to blame for it. Romania or PSA

[@nicolasfarah2092]

Are romanians better than chinese?

[@triplefshooting]

Considering original Chinese AKs cost a fortune now, I'd go romanian unless you're collecting. As far as general design I'm sure people would argue for one or the other, but they both seem to work just fine. Lots of people crapped on the Chinese aks when they were regularly imported, but they were good quality. The romanian aks can be all over the place depending on who's doing the importing and such. Quite a few kit builds out there now, so research the builder a bit before buying if it makes you nervous.

I believe you're asking the question incorrectly. What you mean is "Why DON'T you need a bayonet?"
