I don't think PSA is really the worst by any means of the imagination. I actually think they are generally good for getting affordable ARs into peoples hands, but they have hiked some prices during the pandemic so I will call that out for what it is. I mean you can do a hell of a lot worse for...
Not to dump on PSA, but this often is the tradeoff of going for a company that was shooting for like ~$500 ARs. They are going to have to cut corners at some places to make that price point. You can look at their early AKs if you really want to see this earnest. This is probably fine for a lot...

You guys have put up some good suggestions and a helpful PM or two as well. The problem is generally finding someone selling a lot of these things rather than the concept at this point. If this wasn't NY there are probably 5-6x I could have easily ended up with a Zastava already. I saw the Vz58...
Well you have a good point, it can't hurt to ask. My end goal is a maglocked AK, so I should be able to easily convert a spur grip with an extra grip + compmag.
Yeah, fixed mags of whatever variety are obviously not really ideal. Neither is losing the pistol grip or any other features though. I figure with the removable dust cover like you said, it shouldn't be that difficult to clear jams. I am really not intending to stake my life with this, so if it...
Too put it mildly this obviously is not the greatest time, but are there any places in general that sell a fixed mag AK? Specifically something like a Wasr, Cugir, Zastava (or of that standard of quality/price range). The issue I have noticed is that the majority of suitable AKs (nothing US made...
