People who dislike this need to understand something. Low priced, quality firearms can do one thing that other higher priced firearms can't, and that's entice buyers who need to be careful how they spend. The idea of getting into firearms interests them, but the price tag on an a SAM7 does not. They're smart and understand the "you get what you pay for" philosophy, so they don't care to waste their money on garbage, but if they found something that works well and is affordable then maybe they'll dip their toe in the water. And we all know that once you get a taste of exercising your 2A right, you never go back. So I appreciate what Palmetto State Armory is doing, and hope they continue to do it, because the larger our community becomes - the harder it will be to shut us down. Thank you for your hard work Rob!!

@Ill lLlLl Their quality control still has a way to go. I'll keep buying their Ak's because they've been ok for me, and some AR parts too, but they use the customer as the quality control checker and it gets old. I want to buy something and not have to send things back.
Easy, they listened to customers, listened to reviewers, and looked at what everyone was buying. Then bought, made, and installed it all in bulk. That's a win/win/win, in my book. I hate that I can't afford one...yet.
Too bad they are bumping prices up on everything now, and will probably continue to try and get in to the mid-high ranges with the same great quality now that everyone realizes how great they are. Sad. Happy for the company but want them to keep with their mission of pricing rifles so that as many people as possible can afford them. The base AR kit just went from $260 to $300
Only the daily deals stuff is questionable. I saw online side by side comparisons. It seems like where other stuff is all matching, the daily deals are parts bin abortions. Slightly different finishes on parts, blems, loose fits. That's where the bad rep comes in. Also this information may have just been a shit post on /k/ that I believed but they had pictures to back it up.
For one thing, got the ake in 3 days ago. Out of 200 rounds, 21 fte. Front sight chanted so bad I ran out of adjustment. With optic mounted it was 9 moa at 100 yards with a fixed 10 power scope. The gas block lever was loose as hell and the trigger pins walked out in the first 60 rounds.

I'd be pretty stoked if I ever saw you there! God bless
I love my AKE so far. As Rob mentioned in the video, the quality also blew me away. The action is smooth, the trigger feels great, and the rifle just feels crisp. I only put 3 magazines through quickly at my LGS when I picked it up, but so far I’m happy. I have high hopes for the 5k rounds test from AKOU
Rob, it's been a while since I have watched any gun related videos on youtube. Honestly, I watch more when I am in the market for something. For the last 3 years or so I have been pretty heavy into side by sides. Adrenaline keeps me alive. ;) That also takes a lot of cash... then add a new truck. Anyway I am happy to report the PSA AK I purchased as kit about 4 years ago still looks and functions like brand new. It converts people to the AK platform. I go shooting with friends and they comment on how accurate the rifle is. I hit what I aim at with it. I keep it accessory free so it stays light. Sounds like PSA has come a long way and that is awesome.
Love my GF3, would like a few more from palmetto. The finish is beautiful on their guns and mine has been a great rifle. They are really getting it dialed in.
I know there was a metric ton of sarcasm there, but I don't like hearing anyone say they hate anything with a passion. Hate if you must but save your passion for things that are not destructive. Subbed a while back. Love the channel.
I got the same gun last week in smoke color. Iron sights off bags and bench at 100 yards was around 5.5”-6” groups. I was hoping for a bit better. I also noticed some of the finish on the bolts holding the front guard was missing. I also barley rubbed a few things against the gun “typical” range stuff like setting it down on the bench and the smoke finish has warm down to bare metal. It’s a tool so I can live with all that but I was hoping for a bit more mainly in durability and accuracy. I have since put a Sig Romeo 7 on and will see if that tightens the groups up.
Another excellent review as always.... Looks like PSA is a force to be reckoned with in the AK world.... I have put together about 40 AR-15s using all PSA parts and all have performed as they should..... 13 months ago I bought the PSAK GF3 and have been very happy with it so far...
There’s no less than 3 guns from Palmetto that I’m wanting this year, I don’t own an AK so this is a must, the AK-E, I’m wanting a AK-V, and the mp5 clone, I’m an AR dude, but I just got to get the AK-E!
I have bought many gun's from PSA, and have only had a few minor issues where maybe a bolt wasn't torqued all the way. Nothing I couldn't fix at home, I will keep buying from them.
@Jim Beam my parents certainly don't mind the help I provide and arsenal I keep accessible for them... No shame with my money going towards the house either.
@@TheJMan1K I wish my parents bought me a car or gun, but nah I'm so lucky I found an AMD-65 parts kit on GunBroker I put together for a total of $840... I'm a few years behind on the experience curve to shoot it than you would be with yours though. My dad wasn't happy I used practically all my credit to get the kit, but a steal deal is a steal deal.
I can say the Gen 5 ak-e is the nicest AK I have ever held or shot. Tight tolerance, beautiful fit and finish, lovely trigger. The one I fired had a magpul folding stock instead of the AR style. Palmetto state armory is a great company. I wish they would come out with a milled receiver model.
Lets hope that the quality and QC of this rifle is maintained throughout the production. That is going to be the big challenge! P.s. It was great to see you at the Century Booth @ Shot - Maciej
I see Palmetto did what I did 6yrs. ago. I got a custom 1:9 twist 21inch barrel for mine and is accurate as hell. The standard 1:10 or 1:11 don't stabilize the round as well. I can shoot 1/2"-3/4" groups with mine at 100yrds.
I never liked AK's, I just came here because I enjoy watching Rob geek out on AK's, he gets so happy. With that being said, I'm currently looking at getting my first AK just because Rob makes them look so fun. Damn you Rob, my AR is going to be one jealous bitch.
You will love it, I got a cheap norinko MAK90 decades ago, replaced crummy stock a few months back with magpul, loads of fun. Got Robs muzzle brake to try out.
I just picked up a GF3 for my son down in Columbia last week. We've got it set up now. After playing with the GF3, I decided I want an AK myself. I have his C39V2, and it's been very good, though shot very little, my son has health problems and doesn't get to shoot much ( probably 250rds over the last 3 years ), so thought of just keeping it, but now I'm thinking of selling it and driving down and picking up that AK-E. Been shooting a Tavor SAR with all the upgrades, and I love it, it will still be my primary gun, but there's just a special feeling you get when shooting a well made AK. Last one I had was an Arsenal SLR101s that I sold back around 2012, and regretted selling it. He does like keeping data and stats, so I plan on getting him the books you have in your store as soon as I can, and the sight tool. He and I enjoy your videos, and look forward to each new one.
Been following you on the Gram for a while but this is the first of your videos I've watched. Man! Excellent job! Love the video quality and high-res stills of the components! Great Stuff! Thank you for putting this video together!
When PSA finally deigns to release the GF4, the standard PSAK-47 will also come with the purpose-built CHF barrel produced by FN specifically for their rifle.
PSA. My most favorite gun company ever. I am not saying 100% everything they make is perfect, but man it's close. The best part is the owner. I never seen such a strong 2A gun loving American. I wish PSA and the owner nothing but the best of luck as i continue to buy all my firearms I can from them.
Dammit an Ak that’s shoots sub 2 moa??? With Wolf ammo?? So much for my “my AR is way more accurate than you POS AK” argument. Hahahahaha. Hope it makes the 5000 round torture test 👍
I've been building AK's for years and have been doing experiments on types of steel I use to make recivers,heat treat cycles and different parts from different akms. (Kyber pass style) I'm hell bent on making the absolute best ak. I love these rifles
PSA's kick'n ass!!! I've been nothing but happy with everything I've picked up from PSA. I'm going to grab a 20" A4 upper asap and after that the next will be one of the 9mm AK pistols.

I am so glad psa came out with ak that has fn barrel. My fn 15 tactical ii shoots 1.2 inch groups with cheap wolf
Man you are the only RUclipsr that has good honest reviews , best gun reviews on youtube for sure..
There’s no less than 3 guns from Palmetto that I’m wanting this year, I don’t own an AK so this is a must, the AK-E, I’m wanting a AK-V, and the mp5 clone, I’m an AR dude, but I just got to get the AK-E!
Bought two AR-15s (basic flattop carbines), a GF3 AK with the Nutmeg stock, and a 1969 milsurp SKS, been very happy with this company so far.
Can't wait for the PSA SVD now!
Me too!
Seems like a great rifle, props to PSA for continuing to give us better and better rifles. Gutta respect a company like that!
"They hired da Harry Potter", I don't know." (Awesome Rob, thanks!!!)
I have bought many gun's from PSA, and have only had a few minor issues where maybe a bolt wasn't torqued all the way. Nothing I couldn't fix at home, I will keep buying from them.
13:30 if my parents heard me in the room saying this while cleaning my AK they'd think I must REALLY love my AMD.
@Jim Beam my parents certainly don't mind the help I provide and arsenal I keep accessible for them... No shame with my money going towards the house either.
Jim Beam I mean my parents bought me my first AK when I was 15. Worked for it bought hey it’s mine to take when I’m 18.
@@TheJMan1K I wish my parents bought me a car or gun, but nah I'm so lucky I found an AMD-65 parts kit on GunBroker I put together for a total of $840... I'm a few years behind on the experience curve to shoot it than you would be with yours though. My dad wasn't happy I used practically all my credit to get the kit, but a steal deal is a steal deal.
Jim Beam and don’t talk shit when you have the most vanilla stock LMT on RUclips itself.
@Jim Beam this is America, you can own a gun at any age as long as it was gifted to you
It is on the list. I have been patiently waiting for the FN barreled AK. Thank you Rob...always speaking the truth brother
So I ordered the GF3 now I gotta order the AK-E, dammit Rob you killing this AR-15 convert.
It will be nice when we start seeing the PSA steel case cartridges on the shelves.
PSA really outdoing themselves lately.
I can say the Gen 5 ak-e is the nicest AK I have ever held or shot. Tight tolerance, beautiful fit and finish, lovely trigger. The one I fired had a magpul folding stock instead of the AR style. Palmetto state armory is a great company. I wish they would come out with a milled receiver model.
I am amazed how well that rifle is, fired it at the range. I still think Zastava and Arsenal are still the best imo.
Palmetto, where everything is out of stock everyday.
Looks like 2020 is the year of palmetto. Between this the AK-V and the AK74 the are killing it this year
im saving up for the 5k test and the 74
PSA is going hard!
I’d say Rifle Dynamics, Occum Defense and PSA are killing it.
Lets hope that the quality and QC of this rifle is maintained throughout the production. That is going to be the big challenge! P.s. It was great to see you at the Century Booth @ Shot - Maciej
I see Palmetto did what I did 6yrs. ago. I got a custom 1:9 twist 21inch barrel for mine and is accurate as hell. The standard 1:10 or 1:11 don't stabilize the round as well. I can shoot 1/2"-3/4" groups with mine at 100yrds.
They should just sell the FN ak barrels for my parts kit build
FYI They started to offer just the barrels as of today. palmettostatearmory.com/fn-herstal-7-62x39mm-16-chf-ak-47-barrel.html
@@rudesoledevil154 great news indeed! Now if only they would offer the front sight/gas block combo.....
Never buy an AK of any variant without consulting this guy first, saved me a few bucks over the years.
I never liked AK's, I just came here because I enjoy watching Rob geek out on AK's, he gets so happy. With that being said, I'm currently looking at getting my first AK just because Rob makes them look so fun. Damn you Rob, my AR is going to be one jealous bitch.
It's more fun owning both types.
Please don't buy a crappy one, then be disappointed because it's bad.
AK's are great rifles.
You thinking about the PSAK 556, so you don't need a bunch of different mags and ammo?
You will love it, I got a cheap norinko MAK90 decades ago, replaced crummy stock a few months back with magpul, loads of fun. Got Robs muzzle brake to try out.
Welcome to the dark side
This guy puts so much into his videos. Love it.
Damnit Rob. I was thinking this was an actual hate video. Lol. I love it when you tear into a company’s ass, and watch them scramble to fix it 😂😂
I just picked up a GF3 for my son down in Columbia last week. We've got it set up now. After playing with the GF3, I decided I want an AK myself. I have his C39V2, and it's been very good, though shot very little, my son has health problems and doesn't get to shoot much ( probably 250rds over the last 3 years ), so thought of just keeping it, but now I'm thinking of selling it and driving down and picking up that AK-E. Been shooting a Tavor SAR with all the upgrades, and I love it, it will still be my primary gun, but there's just a special feeling you get when shooting a well made AK. Last one I had was an Arsenal SLR101s that I sold back around 2012, and regretted selling it.
He does like keeping data and stats, so I plan on getting him the books you have in your store as soon as I can, and the sight tool.
He and I enjoy your videos, and look forward to each new one.
Glad you "hate it with a passion" to Love it. an AK in every home.
Been following you on the Gram for a while but this is the first of your videos I've watched. Man! Excellent job! Love the video quality and high-res stills of the components! Great Stuff! Thank you for putting this video together!
The weird ejection from PSA rifles still bothers me
@Bhum Brahmavira pay closer attention, quite a few of them are barley getting out of there, it's just inconsistent
Probably because it isn’t as overpassed as most AKs.
You can tell its a good gun because the recoil is smooth and not smashing itself to the rear even with a can on the end..
Hey Rob, Can you do a review on the Sureshot Armament ACR conversion/upgrade for AKs??
Nice to see PSA working thru the issues and getting a quality AK out the door. The FN barrel on my AR is top shelf so you can’t go wrong with that.
Greetings to you from Russia 👋
Right back at you from Indiana usa 👍
Доброе утро владимир !
Greeting from USA.
PSA is killing it this year. This rifle and the JAKL are on my hit list. Nice job as always Ski.
I’m missing something... where’s Ula saying “Hit!”?
When PSA finally deigns to release the GF4, the standard PSAK-47 will also come with the purpose-built CHF barrel produced by FN specifically for their rifle.
Waiting for the 74
i want to see a GF5 E getting reviewed so bad! i held a GF3 yesterday but want the 5!! Zastava M70 Zpap are same price and im still focused on PSA 5E
I was gonna get this thing too
Sadly.... *it is sold out* 😭
Apocalyptic Bone-Daddy it’s back in stock
@@JiZzKizZ_ I just visited, literally right before I made the comment
Still out of stock.
@@Angel-je3bh it uses RPK barrel and reciever. Heavier, basically lasts forever if you take care of it
You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this video to drop 🙏🏼 expedite the next 4000rnds please
IT'S PSA DAILY DEALS TIME!

PSA. My most favorite gun company ever. I am not saying 100% everything they make is perfect, but man it's close. The best part is the owner. I never seen such a strong 2A gun loving American. I wish PSA and the owner nothing but the best of luck as i continue to buy all my firearms I can from them.
It refuses to swallow. COME ON! TAKE IT!
I enjoy watching you run an AK. You're clearly very in sync with the platform
Dammit an Ak that’s shoots sub 2 moa??? With Wolf ammo?? So much for my “my AR is way more accurate than you POS AK” argument. Hahahahaha. Hope it makes the 5000 round torture test 👍
I've been building AK's for years and have been doing experiments on types of steel I use to make recivers,heat treat cycles and different parts from different akms. (Kyber pass style) I'm hell bent on making the absolute best ak. I love these rifles
Rob, is this "нажми приманку" as you might say? 😂
Poles dont use cyrillic
Just ordered the MOEkov version yesterday, I'm jittery with excitement as this is my first AK.
How? The answer is easy; Capitalism.
Capitalism mimics the natural process of adapt or die.
RapingDivinity lmao wat a joke
Which is why it's better than socialommunism.
It actually has a basis in the natural world.
Smooth brain af bro

PSA's kick'n ass!!! I've been nothing but happy with everything I've picked up from PSA. I'm going to grab a 20" A4 upper asap and after that the next will be one of the 9mm AK pistols.
Hate it because you can't own it yet?
Its on the site.

best video so far!!! PSA guys are actively pro 2a and now they make THIS?! lifelong customer coming right up!
