​@@PalmettoStateArmoryVideosSpeaking of 9x39 guns in 300 blk... PSA VSS and AS VAL when? I've seen a lot of people suggest 300 blk clones of those guns for the American market since 9x39 is so hard to find here.

[@lukasvitkauskas9811]

Isn't 300blk more of a 7.62x39 equivalent than 9x39?

Anybody else recall a one-off 300 Blackout Krink that Rifle Dynamics dropped +10 years ago. Jim Fuller shared it on Facebook, and I thought that would be my next big purchase when it hit full production. I don’t think they ever made full production of it. I’m glad that PSA picked this project up. You guys are leading the way in gun innovation.

[@foshizzlfizzl]

This is actually pretty needless. You have 9x39 you could use in an AK and you chose 300 blackout? Why? 9x39 gives you the option of a subsonic AKSU and you chose the lighter bullet but have to use a suppressor instead? 😂 This thing makes absolutely no sense at all.

[@White.Wall.]

@@foshizzlfizzlWhy would PSA sell a gun chambered in something almost non-existent in the US? Who’s gonna buy it, 2 people?

[@z71offroad95]

@@foshizzlfizzl Even subsonic ammo requires a suppressor. All subsonic does is guarantee that it doesn't break the sound barrier, it still has a pop when fired unsupressed. VSS and Val both have integrally suppressed barrels. Also as mentioned .300blk subs are available at multiple locations around me.

Hey PSA! I was curious when you come out with the 5.45 ammo if there will be the three variants (FMJ,BTHP, ballistic tip) just like before for 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39. Also, what weights? 51 grain for 7n6 ballistic match or ballistic match for more standard 60 grain ammo with high BC?

so there's no adjusting the gas, it just runs subs and supers? can it run subs with no can?

I hope we get a standard thread pitch option. The target market for this is probably people who already have .30 cal cans. It'd be helpful to get something 90% of people wouldn't need to instantly buy an adapter for.

Are you guys still officially planning on making 545 ammo? And i figure its at least a year off even if you do. Also look into 6max. It's an impressive cartridge for ar15 guns. It allows reliability just like 556, and unlike 6 arc or 6.5 grendal. That krink 300 with the sureshot furniture is the sexiest 300 blk I've seen.

Very interesting gas system. I assume the carrier is normal with the piston and all. Its both direct impingement and piston operated.

only thing different than a regular krink is the gas port being closer to the chamber. same bcg as the 556 psa.

this seems like an awesome idea. i'd be down for a chassis system for sure.. the downside is, i don't own a 5.56 ak and really don't wanna buy mags.. if this thing took AR mags, sold... and before a purist says anything, it's already not an AK gas system, firing a non-AK round..

[@sarge12212]

It's still a long stroke system. Just has a reversed gas block and gas tube to give the gun added dwell time. I've looked mine over throughly and don't see any reason it won't work.
