SHOT Show Day 3 - The KS74

Posted in: News & Events Event Highlights

It seems to be the year of the AK here in Booth 425 at SHOT Show 2019 in Las Vegas.

The Palmetto State Armory KS-74 is bringing the slim, modular design of the AR-15 into the world of the 5.45 x 39 caliber.

The PSA KS-74 strongly resembles an AR-15 until you take a closer look at the magazine and the lower receiver.

Built to accept standard AK-74 magazines while also utilizing an AR-15 buffer system, buttstock and handguard, the KS-74 is the next step in our KS line of rifles.

The Palmetto State Armory KS-74 is currently in the early stages of research and development. The final product must meet our quality and design standards in order to carry our 100% Full Lifetime Warranty. We will keep you updated as we progress on the project.

Watch for more updates here.

Please produce a KS-74 pistol with \"A\" post front sight !

Please allow pre orders for this and other upcoming products. I'm a huge fan of PSA and the innovative products they continue to deliver to market. The KS47 is an amazing platform with stellar performance.

Delta3Two

I agree. My KS-47 pistol functions very well.

Ben Sams

Any update or timeline on these?

Brandon

Where are these? “Enter production next month” but the article is 5 months old.... did they cancel this?

PSA's website. They're there.

Brandon

I think you might have seen the “KS-47” which is available. “KS-74” is what we are looking for(5.45x39).

Ryan D

Any word on the release date of KS74?

Still waiting. Are we there yet?

Hammer

They announced on ARFCOM that these were on indefinite hold. I will be asking them about what's going on when I'm at SHOT, because I was also very disappointed these didn't materialize as planned.

Josiah

I apologize for any frustration. We are focusing on the AK74 and many other projects at the moment. It is not completely off the table, but we do not have any immediate plans to pick back up the idea of the KS74 being produced.

May I ask how the AK74 is coming along then? I am still super excited for the platform to comeout.

Josiah

We will be releasing the AK74 at Shot Show. Not just an annoncement, but it will be in production then!

Mark A

Any word on when the Ak74 will be out? I have a KS47 and love that thing.

Josiah

Very shortly! Please keep checking our website. You can also join our PSA AK owners facebook group for updates as well.

Tom

Any update on this?

Josiah

Other projects have taken precedence over us making the KS74. We have not taken it off the table, but it is not a priority at the moment.

Roger

Can you make the ks 47 use 5.45x39 barrel with upper lower and use ak magazine

Josiah

It seems like an easy swap, but it is not. Due to various reasons including but not limited to dimensions, the KS47 will not work with KS74 magazines.

Ben Garis

Ive begun building my own version, a (5.45) AR taking ak74 mags, since the ks74 is on hold until further notice. any idea if a ks47 upper and lower will work with 74 mags?
