I’ll take the x-57. Looks like something I need. But that jakl 308 is right there with it.
Really been looking forward to a Jakl 9mm since last years hint. A 8” would be sweet!
I wanna know where do you get ammo for the Thumper?!? I bet the range won’t allow that lmao! I need that for when and if I have to “circle the wagons”
. I want that on my wall in a hurry so I can do some thumpin’
Sean, it sure would be nice if a fully rifled (slug) barrel would be available for the shotgun; maybe
a combo (22" variable choke VR barrel, with a 22" or 24" fully rifled barrel).
I went with the Vuk, Thumper, and Emerge even though I really like a bunch of the other choices. What a great assortment! Might have picked the X5.7 but not sure I want another caliber right now (I know, I know! I don’t have a 37mm either) ![]()
The US market needs an affordable AND modular pump gun to beat back the poor quality Turkish guns. I think it would be a big money maker for PSA.

The Vuk looks amazing! I hope to see it at Shot Show!
The .308 JAKL wouldnt show up for me in the votes. But my 3 were the bullpup, the .308 jakl & the 5.7x28 pdw
The .308 didn’t show up o be able to vote for it. Anyway, .308 and 9mm JAKL’s, please! It would be nice if the 9mm version was a delayed blowback but I’ll take what I can get as long as it DOESN’T use Glock mags.
Hope your can post some pictures
It reminds me of the Israeli Galil.
It’s now called AAC Ammo.
Good morning Sean,
These would be my choices, ranked best to “worst”, based on my own personal opinions of most utility/usability to least.
#1 (tie) - VUK - especially since multiple calibers were baked into the design from the beginning - 5.56, 5.45, 7.62X39, 9X39 (!!!) 12 ga (!!!). Though the absence of .300BLK is puzzling, especially since it uses almost all the same pieces as 5.56. The JAKL design (which this presumably leverages) is proving to be very robust, and having a domestic offering that can utilize existing (and future for 9X39) Kalashnikov magazines in Soviet and domestic calibers with end user caliber swaps is a no-brainer.
#1 (tie) - 570 Pump BIY (build it yourself). Love that all the pieces will have all the high end touches (optic cut, beveled loading port, etc.). 2 major questions suggest themselves: will the shell lifter work with SAAMI spec mini shells (not expecting it to be reliable with Aguila, since the OAL on those are all over the place), and was building this in 20ga at some point as well as 12ga calculated in during the initial design? No idea what level of finish these will come with, but I only see similar features on shotguns like this from VangComp and LTT, and the 570 potentially offers LOTS more flexibility in configuration.
#2 (tie) All the Dagger variants - not much to say, they’re the PSA brand Glawk, and you’re expanding the line up beyond the basic bread-and-butter 9MM compact. Personally, I’d prefer a full size 10MM, in either the Dagger-L or the Dagger Tactical over .45ACP.
#2 (tie) Emerge bolt action BIY - I presume .308/6.5 Creedmoor and similar will be first out of the gate, but bolt guns are always in demand. Not the first company to offer a “have it your way” menu for a bolt action, but you are the first to do it as a build-it-yourself option, which I know also sidesteps PSA having to charge an excise tax (and pass that savings on to the customer), and is presumably engineered to be DIY friendly, i.e. you won’t need to invest several grand in special tools or schooling to be able to put together an accurate bolt action.
#2 (tie) Saber Enhanced M4 - don’t get me wrong, the Sabre gives fantastic value for what you get vs. what you pay, just the AR-15 market is hyper-saturated. That said, PSA did get it’s start as an AR-15 parts dealer, then assembler, then manufacturer, so if anyone can pull it off, it’s y’all.
#3 (tie) Olcan bullpup JAKL lower - I’m a bullpup fan, and have more than a few in the collection, and the idea of taking a JAKL upper and converting to a bullpup is neat, but bullpups are still a bit niche compared to the traditional layout, so I expect this may not sell as well compared to the other offerings. It’d be awesome TO ME if it did get prioritized, but needs of the business dictate that it might need to wait for a later release while the Daggers and other stuff bring in revenue to grow the business.
#3 (tie) JAKL 9MM - It’d be higher if it were a delayed mechanism instead of a straight blowback, but that’s just me. Using AK-V/Scorpion EVO magazines is nice, so you’re not forced to cough up $70+ for magazines like SIG charges for the MPX. The direct blowback 9MM PCC market isn’t as saturated as the AR-15 market, but it’s getting there. Might need to wait for SCOTUS to rule on Chevron Deference and the bumpstock cases before you sink a lot of money into tooling and inventory for PCCs that invite attaching a pistol brace to.
#4 (tie) Thumper - Range toy - 37MM ammo availability makes 4.6X30 look like .22LR in comparison. I get that it’s the closest most people will ever get to a 40MM M203 or whatever the H&K model is that has a chassis system to shoot it stand-alone. This and the
#4 (tie) X5.7, aka the MP7 we have at home. I know it’s the highest voted right now, but it’s also a range toy. The MP7/P90 were designed as bullet hoses (hell, the MP5 as well, in plain old 9MM Parabellum), where you can dump a magazine into a target in a second or two. It’s a fantastic feeling, but the cost/availability of 5.7X28, and the questionable efficacy of those loadings available to us mere mortals.
The mythos built up around the MP7 is legendary, though, so I don’t doubt these would probably sell pretty well, at least initially.

Not seeing the 308 jakl on the poll, its definitely my #1 pick
oh its there!
308 Jakl would be a definite buy for me. It would not show up in my vote feed but that would be my #1
