I have a PSA GF3 with over 2k rounds through it with less than a handful of hiccups. Great rifle. Was looking into getting a gf5

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Awesome!

[@DesertTactical]

The GF3 line is pretty solid. The trigger on my GF3 is insanely good.

Key word. Hiccups lol I’m good. I’ll stick to Russian

@@cindylou1112 such a captain obvious you are lol. But for a budget friendly kinda person the GF3 is perfect. $500-600 bucks sure lets put a bunch of ammo through it and have some cheap fun compared to a Russian AK $2000+ Isn’t even fun to shoot due to wear and tare that could have already been placed on the gun plus what you’ll probably do to it.

GF3 with Polish wood and a UTG Side Rail, Romanian Bayonet $8 Cleaning Rod, $20 Muzzle Break. I'm $700 in because the wood set. No non magazine related issues, Front sight post was canted, zero was Max to the left, A 24-inch screw driver and a vice, I yeeted it a 1/8 inch and now in Centered at Zero. Works great, about 2000 rounds so far. Had a $9 magazine that double fed, but all my other mags run fine so it was the cheap mag. Polish wood needed some fitting but is tight and looks great now. Fit n Finish far better than my WASR Reliability has been perfect so far. The Canted sights were disappointing but was a 2 min fix. You can remove the pins, set the sights and drill and put new pins, but you can just yeet em over using leverage too, Did it on my WASR 15 years and well over 10k rounds and they stayed put.

I picked up a Gf5 ak-e. I have been an AR guy since 2004, but this ak is making my AR collection collect dust lol. It's fun, accurate and a fun challenge when double tapping or target transition after being accustomed to the AR platform. The gf5 is very well built!!

[@timmylitt45]

Why doesn't anybody ever talk about the gf4? Did I make a mistake by ordering that instead of the gf5? I did read that Colton Sons from PSA worked with FN on the development of the AK barrel. After that was completed, he worked with DC Machine (PSA's sister company that manufactures their nitride barrels) to develop the CHF CL barrel for the GF4. Surprisingly, I've also heard that the PSA CHF CL Barrel in the gf4 is just as good if not better than the FN barrel.

How’s your ak doing? I just got the GF5

@Grizzlyman420 It's doing great man haha I love it. There were a couple malfunctions in the beginning, but it's broken in now after switching to brass and shooting another 200 rounds out of it.

Not misinformed…. My preference for purchase is a US made variant. No doubt it’s apples to apples out there on some global brands. And just like ARs there’s good and bad build qualities. When I go to buy an AK, I want my money spent here.

[@megaman010391]

@@scottyk5376 You cannot compare American ak47s to European AK-47s. A lot of US companies still need to work on their design. Triggers are set too high etc. The gf5 might be the best breakthrough but time will tell. Europeans just know how to make a proper AK. America' knows how to make a proper AR-15. But yes it's your money you do what you want with it. I would definitely buy a PSA GF 5 over a century Arms American made AK.

Go back and listen to the whole video or don’t. We all have our opinions and that’s the beauty of it.

[@bramwright803]

This psa ak47 gf5 is the real deal. Look at jmac customs video of trying to melt one down. They ran out of ammo before they could make it fail. They put 2000 rounds through while stopping to check the head space and lugs on bolt every 500 rounds or so. Then fired 2000 plus rounds through it continuously with no failures. And all the shooting was full auto. No semi at all. The gun had a golden finish to it from getting so hot. Plus many of us, including myself, don’t like the idea of buying guns that were made by communists. I actually don’t buy any guns not made in America. The way I see it is if your people aren’t free and can’t even own the guns that they build, I don’t want it. Plenty of good USA guns to buy even though I can definitely appreciate the fact that a lot of foreign countries can make some very fine fire arms. Just my 2 cents.
