Looked it over this morning. The metal parts of the soviet sling were going to mess up the polymer handguard. So I just stuck a QD mount from my Scorpion over. I'll tack on the QD cups for the end of the stock when I do another Amazon order. No rush. I'll just use my MS4 until I get wood put on it. I have a sling on the way for my M70, so I'll see which fits best on that: the yugo or the one I just took off the PSAK. I love the plum furniture, but really want the classic look and another SBR anyways. It will eventually sort out, and I'm foreseeing another PSA AK in the future.

Also, when I said my safety is loose, it's not loose, but it does flip a lot easier than my Zastava and my Yugo. They're tight, this just has less resistance.

Upon further examination of the PSA G3 AK, i am VERY pleased with it. I own, or have owned Arsenal, Norinco, Polytech, Egyptian, Polish,Yugo and Romanian AK's.
The fit and finish as well as the action rivals the Arsenal and is better than the rest. Well, the Polytech is tough to beat, but the finish on the PSA is better.
It accepted and locked up tight Combloc, Chinese, US and Russian mags with no wobble. I think these rifles are a screaming deal for the price.
Great trigger, all parts are tight and right, i would buy another if i could afford it right now. I have not fired it yet but i expect no surprises.

Nice to hear. I've read a lot of good things about it. Good score.

Is this odd angle on the muzzle device normal? I'm having a hard time understanding the design/purpose here...

I believe that’s fairly standard as far as slant brakes go. Ak’s recoil up and to the right (I’m guessing due to the weight of the charging handle pulling the gun right as the action cycles). Slant brakes direct gasses up and right to counteract their tendency to climb in that direction under rapid fire.

Well, I'll be damned...that actually kinda makes sense. :thumbsup2:

7.62x39 cartridge tends to push the muzzle up and to the right. By cutting the device at an approximate 45 degree angle, the gas from firing pushes it roughly back down and to the left. If it bothers you I have a spare Polish muzzle nut I`ll be happy to trade you for it. Think of it as a Cheapskate Cutts compensator.

EDIT:
Just saw it was already covered.

Well said ... More of a thread protector until you can locate a more functional device, such as the Epsilon AK brake by Aero, or the Fighter brake by Definitive Arms.. And the finish on the rifle looks real nice too.

I like the slant brake, but it always bother me that it wasn't level. lol, my OCD kicks in big time. Once I underatood why though, it's been ok. I don't think I'll ever change either on my two rifles. I know there are better brakes out there, but Iblike the look of the classic slant.

That being said, I finally was able to head out to the back 5 and cycle two shots out of both the PSA and Yugo M-70 today while the family was out. Without a doubt the M-70 felt soooo smooth. Like, right away I noticed the difference from my M92. The PSAK was nice, but the Yugo just seemed to cycle crisper. (If I can describe it that way) I'm excited to carve out some time to put a few mags through them both. The magpul is really growing on me, and just looks right on the PSA.

M70s are some of the toughest AKs you`ll find. The RPK front trunnion and 150% thick receiver don`t do a lot of good for weight, but if you`re the kind to eat your wheaties it`s almost impossible to keep the M70s down. Just be forewarned Yugoslav AKs and SKSs do not have Chrome lined bores, so make sure you clean after your range trips for optimum performance.

I have a PSA AK-P and i think it is a blast to shoot. Although I've only put a few hundred rounds out of it. I got the one with the grey Magpul furniture.

So far it is a solid AK. :thumbsup2:
