PSAK GF3 worth it?

[Big Green]

Now I’m going down the rabbit hole of different mounts again, trying hard not to spend more money.

Picked up one of these for less than $500 some Fathers day sale in the past. Might want to wait and see what happens. Nice rifle with a red dot on it..

Mta just needs to hurry and order one then find something he doesn’t like about it and trade me for something.

FWIW, PSA Gen 3 AK-P is decent. No issues.

Got a little over 2000 rounds through mine, nicely accurate out to a hundred yards for the 10" barreled pistol version. Only real mod I've made to the gun itself is to smooth down the top of the hammer for a finer slide action and to eliminate any wear at the rear of the bolt, this is a common mod on any production AK. The trigger is fine to me and the finish has held up perfectly, all of the rivets have held perfectly as well and I've fit many different mags to it including Polish and Russian with zero issues. Russian furniture can be fit to them with minor fitting as required with any AK. If I didn't already have a full size AK in 7.62x39 I'd have picked up another.


This was the first version of the GF3 sent to AK Operators Union for the 5000 rounds torture tests. The gun was beaten senseless and survived, the only issue that cropped up was with the firing pin which PSA rectified for production.

I got mine cheap and I love it. I love my Zastavas more and they only cost a couple hundred more.

 

[GasGuzzler]

They're fine if you don't care about future value.

I never thought about using Zasatva customer service for a rifle that has not been imported in 8 or ten years. I lucked into an O-PAP before they went 3X in price. I don't see PAPs much, the N-PAP has a couple bad features, and the Z-PAP is pretty expensive.

Go for it. PSA will stand behind it for a while if needed.

Hey one other thing.. I hear tell that the DPMS Anvil is a PSAK GFK3 that you can buy from an LGS rather than direct from PSA.

Look at the packaging it’s exactly like PSA packaging.

There was a guy at the range today with a PSA Krink just like mine, we had the range lit up, lol. Got my new Primary Arms GLX scope sighted in, pretty impressed with it.

I don't think that DPMS rifle is the same quality as the PSA version. I have no doubt that PSA may be supplying the forgings but it doesn't come with the same warranty and problems were noted. I've owned one DPMS AR before, it wasn't bad but nothing really stood out about it either.

DPMS is owned by PSA. I would assume the Anvil is made by PSA on the same tooling as their other AKs.

Didn't know that.

Didn't know that.

They bought them from freedom group last year.

It’s our destiny as men. Being married and having a family is a financial death sentence. On the other hand if I was single I’d be eating spaghettios cause guns are like crack.

One popped up for sale on another State based forum classified ad...

@MTA89 , I bought a 7.62x39 AR upper. Had trouble first time I shot it, which was at EZ’s. Turns out the sucker was dry as a bone. I oiled it up and took it shooting again and it didn’t spit the bit once. Cycled a couple hundred rounds flawlessly.

i paid around $250 for the upper and BCG from Bear Creek Arsenal. Had to buy some Stoner AR mags, but it shoots great. They are picky about mags. Buy the Stoner mags.
