The good folks at Small Arms Solutions just posted a video review of the KS47 after the 6000 rd mark(7/14/22). As to be expected the rifle is still preforming admirably for its quality. ![]()
PS-AK-S47 ! !
Love that gun !
Iam hoarding Ammo for that gun !
I find the gun excellent. It’s the gun I have ready to use to greet potential robbers in the middle of the night, and I have no shortage of guns to choose from to take on that roll.
My only real gripes with it is A) it doesn’t lock the bolt back after the final round is fired, and B) if it’s not going to function like a traditional AR then a side charging handle would be preferred to a rear charging handle.
Kind of would be nice if PSA could develop a bolt catch/lock/release like an AR traditional has, and say, “hey Magpul, you know how we make you a lot of bones? How about designing one of your AK mags with a follower that will work with our KS47 bolt catch/lock/release to allow the gun to function like a traditional AR15.?.?.?”
Hint, hint PSA…
I think that guy’s channel has convinced a lot of people on the fence about the KS47 to pull the trigger. His comparison video where it went up side by side against the CMMG Mk47 and 1 other AR/AK was what really sold me. It basically wins out on all but I think 1 of his metrics. Great channel all around, very knowledgeable firearm guy.
Even Nuttinfancy (spelling) loved the KS47. It’s funny the first PSA gun he ever reviewed he gave it a pretty negative review. (I want to say it was a PA15 or whatever PSA calls their run of the mill AR15) Since then he’s had overwhelmingly positive reviews on PSA guns. Everything from the KS47, to a PA10, (I think. PSA’s AR10) to a PSA AK, to a Dagger.
Yep, his original video is a primary reason that I pulled the trigger on buying one as well.
