9 Hole Reviews takes a brief look at the Sureshot Armament AK chassis. Hopefully the forthcoming videos will show a bit more on the overall fit, etc.

After being pretty much dead set on the WBP Poland AK, I pulled the trigger on the Serbian red wood Zastava M70 ZPAP 170th anniversary edition, for a few reasons.
One, Serbia has been wising up and starting to distance themselves from Russia lately, so I no longer feel dirty buying a Serbian rifle.
Two, my main platform is the AR-15, and my Daniel Defense M4V1 remains my go-to. I don't really need high-end, I need a decent one for the collection and for fun. The M70 ZPAP nails that. Saves me about $300-400.
Three, really seems to be a solid gun features-wise. Chrome-lined, bulged RPK trunions, several years of pretty positive field reports including robski at AKOU.
Four, the 170th anniversary one looks cool and I like it.
We'll see if I have buyer's remorse, but given that my only previous AK was a WASR-10 I think this will be an appreciable upgrade for me. And I liked my WASR!

I was scrolling through their 7.62x39 options yesterday because I sort ofwantneed one to fill a hole in my collection. And because I still have AK mags and a couple of cases of ammo.
Does anyone know the difference between the higher priced "premium forged" and lower priced "forged" versions or has it already been covered upthread?

Some of these premium models have an ALG trigger. At least that seems to be the case with the 5.45 and 5.56 offerings.
I think the only real difference is the barrels. GF3 are nitride. GF4 are "in house" hammer forged and GF5 are hammer forged made by FN.

Here's something interesting. PSA has added a couple extra Chinese AKs to the line.

Ad says Toolcraft bolt and trunion...
-Seconds Count. Misses Don't-
Toolcraft is known to make high quality bolts and parts for ARs so it’s probably a pretty safe bet that their AK parts are top quality as well. The AK gets a lot of crap about being “cheap” but in reality the tooling to produce spec AKs is extremely costly and many US AKs have suffered from low strength parts especially front trunions (the part that holds the barrel in the receiver) and bolts. Palmetto has gained a pretty good reputation from AK enthusiasts for their ever improving quality clone rifles. So in short to be able to get a high quality AK clone these days for $600 and change is pretty remarkable.
