    Recently ordered a complete PSAK-47 shockwave braced lower and complete 10.5” carbine upper from Palmetto State Armory. This 7.62*39 caliber gun uses standard AK magazines. It is a proprietary design, meaning AFAIK, you must use a PSA upper and lower. You can do some modifications to the gun like trigger, furniture, etc. but not BCG.

    I replaced the original hand guards with a Strike Industries set ($26), threw on a spare BCM grip, and added a spare Vortex Strikefire red dot optic.

    Shooting offhand from 15 yards with Wolf ammo, I can make one ragged hole with 10 rounds. It is a really fun gun to shoot. After a few hundred flawless rounds, I am really impressed. This is my first 7.62*39 firearm. I have shot standard AKs but I’m pretty much stuck on the AR platform. Never wanted an AR that had to use special mags, so this PSA hybrid is pretty much what I was wanting. This thing will likely turn into my bedside gun if it keeps running this way.

    YMMV.

    The only thing it really needs at this point (IMO) is an extended charging handle, as it’s pretty stout to run it back.

    Probably could use a smaller red dot, a sling and a white light at some point...but it needs more rounds through it before I dump more cash in it.

    I picked up a carbine length upper from PSA and 4 AR type mags for 7.62x39. Slipped right onto the lower I had and works like a charm. I have cases of this surplus ammo I have bought over the years while it was cheap. Also have an AK47 from PSA too.

    Last two surplus cases I bought.
