    Here's a fun video. Subtitled and narrated by Lego Batman but well worth the 30+ minutes to watch.

    Definitive Arms updated their 24mm Fighter Brake aka Angry Trashcan. Slightly longer and thicker. Weight increased from 53g to 84g. Now SBR and FA rated.

    Side folder model now available to order. This is, as far as I know, the most authentic (and modern) AK on the market.

    Looks pretty solid. Any idea of the source of the CHF barrels?

    I'd be very interested in a good comparison between these and the PSA 100 series offerings.

    Nope. No idea who's providing barrels. This is a recent change. The older non-folding guns are cut rifling. Still using bolts machined from billet much to the chagrin of the AK collector community.

    There are a couple videos on YouTube comparing the PSA to the KUSA but these generally focus on manufacturing differences instead of differences in practical accuracy and such.

    What it boils down to is that the PSA guns are AKM based and use older pattern bolts, trunnions, carriers. The Kalashnikov USA stuff appears to be made using the AK100 pattern.

    Here's a pretty decent video that goes over the differences in the 103s:

    WASR in the grass with most of the upgrades visible. Second pic is a closer look at the PKM Grip from Hub City Outdoors. Traditionally styled but much thicker and more hand filling.

    For those with access, I recommend you watch this movie:

    https://www.amazon.com/AK-47-Kalashn...s%2C127&sr=8-1

    Paraphrased, no doubt, to fit into 90 minutes but a good geek movie. Pretty cool seeing some of the prototype guns even if they are probably plastic.

    Likely more factually accurate than the US movie about Carbine Williams starring Jimmy Stewart.

    Kalashnikov USA has teased 5.56 and 5.45 aks via their Instagram account, coming "soon". Hopefully I will be able to fulfill my irrational desire for a 105 after all.

    PSA is also working a similar path. They have a "rock and lock" mag format in the works that will *hopefully* be based on Russian or Polish mag format. They are also supposed to be close to releasing a rifle with a mag well extension that accepts M16 mags.
