[Review] PSAK-74: The First Good American 5.45 AK? 😮
[Review] PSAK-74: The First Good American 5.45 AK? 😮
When it comes to the AK-74 platform, American attempts at producing a serviceable domestic version of the younger 5.45x39mm-chambered Kalashnikov have mostly fallen flat – with nightmare stories about garage-builds blowing themselves apart spread throughout various forums all over the internet.
Does Palmetto State Armory’s take on a Soviet classic live up to the success of their 7.62×39 AKMs, or are you safe skipping the first gen AK-74 to see if any additional issues get worked out?

RIP my green 1997 Honda civic.
I trust a blind man’s review more than yours. And he broke his…
So if a decent size rifle still counts as small arms, what’s the cut off?
What chest rig is being used here?
What chest rig are you running in the video?
1000 meters…
02.23.2020 and 5.45×39 cannot be found anywhere
Alright alright, go ahead and get your screeching done below. We deserve it 😅
I’m sorry but i dont trust any source called "tactical". I will buy one and either fight with it or break it.
Where did you pick up the cleaning rod?
This guy is one of the most entertaining reviewers.
@pewpewtactical what chest rig is that?
I don’t see how cannot produce any product they make their own parts in you they cannot produce anything delete their customers hanging they don’t care
I was lucky 🍀 enough to grab a 74 plum folder a few weeks ago also grabbed a 103 Folder with an FN barrel last week …. Be quick or be dead 💀 … now anyone got any ammo⁉️ 😂
what does it matter……you can’t get one!
That is freakin’ sexy! What?
A clone or aka Poor & Shitty Arsenal wannabe
Nice
They are shit
whats that rail called?
That’s one hell of a gun I definitely love running the ak variants but in 5.56.
If they make an SVD sometime, i’m sure a lot of us will be foaming at the mouth.
3:10 Do you know why they never called the .308 _’The Poison Bullet?’_
Because people fucking died when you shot them.
Finally was able to snag one of these off their website today! I must have hit that refresh button 80 times…
There’s no such thing as an "american AK" it’ll always be a russian weapon the same way there’s no such thing as a "british" or "dutch" FAL, it was, is and always will be a Wallonian weapon.
what fleece and pant was that. good video, love 5.45
What’s the chest rig you are wearing
I love Ak 74. And I want to buy Ak 74, but How .
Lol RIP to all those who bought it.
Wait a minute, is this Carl from airsoftgi?
Do a review on the ak 101 from Palmetto State Armory 🤔
It be cool if they put an HN barrels.
I love the 74!!!! Thank you,I also like PSA a lot but they couldn’t keep stuff in stock before this shit show now it’s worse I really don’t want to pay some asshats mark up on gunbroker but I might have no choice unless I can find one hidden somewhere!
Is the gas tube lever easy to flip up? Mine I can easily flip up using my pinky and the gas tube rattles a little. Is that normal?
any one have a problem with these key holeing
sorry America make the worst AK ever
Now ak12 is the service rifle of Russian federation army
What’s the chest rig you’re wearing????
Still waiting for them to go back in stock
Shouldn’t this guy be fixing cars with Rick Rawlings ?
This is gonna be my first rifle/gun ever, courtesy of my husband
Dude! You shot up my car!
Congratulations on doing the only positive review on the PSA AK=74!
Junk
PSA didn’t just fall into making AK platforms, I forget the name of the company that they bought all the tooling from but it was from a company in which at onetime made a very good American Made AKM then they let quality go to shit, Years later PSA bought their rights as well as mentioned above their tooling and put them back into production under PSA, I can only say from what I can see is they don’t produce a bad U.S. made AKM, My experience with one of their PA-10’s not so as it was the biggest hunk of shit I’ve ever owned
Doesn’t matter. They are never in stock anyway. You have to wait.
What about Riley AK 74’s
do they come with a sling?
feels like a toy gun
Anyone with the PSAK74 have issues with the rear sight block? My rear sight block obstructs my view of the front sight in the 100m to 400m setting.
