I love these reviews by real life guys like yourself. You’re doing the lords work. I also purchased a gf3 based on rob ski’s recommendation and it was the biggest piece of garbage. The receiver was out of spec out of the box and wouldn’t accept any surplus metal nor polymer mags. I sent it back to them for warranty and PSA lost my rifle. Had to fight with them to get a refund or replacement, that was until I genuinely asked “Am I supposed to report this to the ATF now since there’s a lost gun out there?”. After that email I was immediately refunded my money. After that GF3 shill review, rob ski has been dead to me. He is at the end of the day promoting his content and online shop to turn a profit. I was shocked when he endorsed the 102 after seeing so many negative initial reviews. Hope it works out for you in the end.
This experience you just provided is more powerful than any RUclipsr with affiliate links. Even if this is a "one off" (which it's not) the everyday man In the gun community will always have 100 percent more truth than someone thats a salesman that's pretending to be a reviewer (which is 9/10 of the first few videos you find when looking or a review).
I had the same problem with my 103 I cleaned the firing pen and now it's no problem at all... Shockingly I only had about 200 rounds on mine as well. .
@@theoutdoorobserver8038 yeah unfortunately this one has been cleaned twice after the first malfunction. And the most it’s gone without a malf since is 60rds. I’m really glad yours is working though!
Possible bad headspacing and or rough chamber. Plus an out of spec bolt? Or firing pin? I agree, an AK should not need any cleaning or attention like this.
@@Ldub556 I’ve been really happy with my KP104. It’s been a solid gun. Seems like KUSA’s main issue was quality control and not quality parts in their firearms. Assuming you get a good one then they’re solid.
Great video I appreciate your honesty for sure. I'm setting here changing out parts on my DPMS anvils kinda ironic LoL. No worries those guns have been decent so far they are my cheap AK's anyway range toys. I have some cool expensive go to AK-47 in my collection (Russian, Chinese, Egyptian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Romanian) like most AK guys.
Our American options are starting to dwindle since Kalashnikov USA got shut down, and this past week we saw Pioneer Arms USA got hit by the alphabet boys, all their staff got canned, and everything got shut down immediately. A lot of people needing to contact their banks because their orders will not be met or refunded. If PSA can't pick this thing up, the American AK is not looking good for the future.
PSA has gotten to big for their britches. Pre 2020, atleast from my experience with them, they were much more humble and receptive to feedback. They need to dial things back and listen to feedback, especially on these AKs. Bolt and improper assembly have been known issues for years.
A hybrid can go the distance, but can it tow 7000 lbs of weight at a distance? Pickup truck pun...This has always been the legitimate question of 22 cal. If it don't hit like a 30, then i don't want it.
I hate to say it but robski 8 years ago and robski now are almost two different channels. Old videos are still excellent as well as videos where he isn't shilling for PSA Also the fact that KUSA died right before a KR 101 will always make me seethe. I want a good AK 101 but $2.5-3k fot a used rifle seems irresponsible
Robski is reliable on a lot of things. Like his testings on Century Arms rifles.... I mean most people tend not to hear that you can get a possible lemon... or that he has a sample size of one. Like take the AK 104 I got from PSA which worked right out the box vs my brother's 104 from KUSA
I wouldn’t go that far, palmetto is extremely well known for QC issues in material, machining etc. there’s a good chance he got a good one and is basing his review off of that. However me and quite a few other viewers have had complete lemons.
I am not doubting their ability to f up a gun. But did you try to reshoot the light struck rounds or try them in another gun could just be shit ammo though it don't explain everything
@@Hoodbillyhomestead no worries man. one or two light primer strikes yeah but between 2 ammo types and multiple guns shooting from the same case it’s extremely unlikely to be an ammo related issue. Especially when all of the problems are from one gun that is also having extraction issues and had a case separation. I didn’t see the need to try and reshoot the failed rounds due to all of this.
I’ve only ever bought import aks, finally bought a PSA when the krink came out and it is the biggest piece of garbage rifle I’ve owned, period. Stuck firing pin, furniture is all out of spec, stuck cases galore, total shit stick. Hope it works out for you man!
@@conceptualconcepts6.9 Could it also be the extractor is just mega fucked? Could also maybe be the carrier getting hung up somewhere due to debris or something... or maybe something is just horribly out of spec. But id check that extractor out, maybe its a simple fix like that. Could be some spring failures somewhere too on that firing pin/the firing pin being out of spec as well.
Noted, I fast forwarded to keep this from being a 25-30 minute video and show that there were more rounds being fired through the gun. Next time I’ll make sure to not fast forward. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you. Wild af they wanted to ignore a missing gun. That’s crazy!
🙏 thank you!
@@conceptualconcepts6.9 of course thank you as well

Definitely could be any of those things. But at its core it’s a disappointment

Yeah, and no fix in sight atm.
Shame about the PSA, but the furniture you have on it is great. Is that Zenitco?
It is what it is.
No it’s TDI’s X47 chassis, actually really solid and only $300
what muzzle device did you have on it for that can?

@@gryphix_17 nice and loud haha. But yeah it has a good tone
I'd be unhappy with it too. Send PSA this video. Send the gun back and review the fix or replacement.
I plan to

So Robski is not that reliable then.

Sounds like it dont like junk ammo
I mean, the separated case was M193. And 4 light primer strikes. This is an AK, junk ammo shouldn’t be a problem.
I am not doubting their ability to f up a gun. But did you try to reshoot the light struck rounds or try them in another gun could just be shit ammo though it don't explain everything
@@Hoodbillyhomestead I believe I stated in the video that I’ve shot ammo from the same cases out of both my zastava and WBP jack. Zero issues.
My bad didn't hear that or see you reshoot the light struck rounds it's probably just junk

@@Grizzly_Bear2018 I’m not gonna hold high hopes tbh. Didn’t when I bought it. But I’ll post whatever results I get
Buy round type firing pin
Might fix the light primer strikes but won’t fix the extraction issues

Why fast forward the shooting. We are here to see u shoot the gun. For the next time

Garbage russian ammo
@@ramonduarte1905 every other 5.56 AK I have runs it. And half the malfunctions came from American eagle M193 brass ammo
Just got the zpap85 and it blows through that russian ammo with ease. It's not the ammo
