So I’m finally legal to buy an AK rifle………relax, I moved out of Maryland 
I reeeeeaaalllyy want a gf5 in treebark furniture!! However, my house I just bought I’m doing a pretty big renovation on by myself, and paying for materials as I go. A blem gf3 has been in my cart for a few weeks now, just to get a rifle asap without hurting the wallet as much 
but I keep not pulling the trigger. So hold off a little longer for the gf5? Get the gf3 now? Or get the gf3 now and the gf5 later? 
Dammed Scottish dna………it’s hard shaking off that bred cheapness

Are you really going to shoot it enough to notice the difference in barrel? Triggers and furniture can be changed.

I’ve been asking myself that question. We do shoot a lot already, and bought this place for the already setup range in the back. But with so many rifles and pistols on hand as it is , I doubt I’d wear any of them out………or at least any time soon. The gf3 seems like a great option for now…….

You will be glad you grabbed the GF3. The FN barrels are nice, but the PSA-branded barrels do the job just fine.

My 9mm AR is the 16” psa barrel and the gen4 bcg. It was a stripped Anderson upper we won in a little raffle at a lgs, and decided to give the build a try. It’s been a d@mn great trainer at our pistol club nearby, which allows PCC’s up to 44mag, and cheap to join. It gave us the opportunity to do a lot of AR practice, since the ammo is cheaper and a steady place to shoot in MD can be hard to come by at times. Before we bought the VA house with our backyard range, we were going 1-3 times a week. It’s had over 3 cases run through it now, and the only malfunctions I can think of is a few times the bcg didn’t pick up the next round. But I can probably count on 1 hand, how many times it happened. Using the endomag conversion.

Get the gf3 now. In a bit get the gf5. Then of course you’ll need to complete the set with a gf4, just because. More and more!

Payment processed this a.m. I know FFL items can take up to around 2 weeks to ship, so now the waiting period……….

I said to my wife at the table after shooting it, “I wish I bought 2”

For the overwhelming majority of shooters, the pro’s and con’s of CL v. Nitride is a waste of time. And the pro’s and con’s are debatable.

Very true. However I’ll likely still end up with a gf5 in a year or so ……….if for nothing else but bragging rights/mid-life crisis/finished raising kids

My next one will be the -103K. Just looks mean.

Buy once Cry once. Although the GF3 is fine I would go ahead and go with the GF5 because you will always think to yourself. I could have just gotten the GF5. You could always save yourself some money and get the GF5 builders kit and do it exactly how you want.
