Dec 9, 2021 · My SLR 107 is close enough to scratch the AK-103 itch for me, even though it is basically an AKM with an AK-100 appearance package like the PSA; but from the pictures the only thing that looks MIM to me is the recoil spring assembly base. It has those circular mold ejection marks on it like the MIM triggers on the new Colt revolvers.

So I’ve decided to take it upon myself to do a 10,000 round durability test between the PSA AK-103 premium (FN barrel) and two imported AK pattern rifles. What do you guys want to see it go up against? I’ll provide video updates after 1000, 2500, 5000, 7500, and 10k rounds with coverage of all internals and any issues. This is per rifle.

Mar 3, 2023 · For the Ak-103, you could do the barter for the zenitco ak-74m and then swap the parts, or buy them on the flea, and swap the muzzle break to the RRD-4C and end up with 66 recoil Reply reply

Feb 17, 2020 · I'm not a purist regarding what I want. I'm looking for a reasonable facsimile of an AK103. Minor deviations aren't a deal breaker. I want something approximating the general form and function. I'm looking for a reliable simple self-defense weapon, which a basic AK-103 clone would be, provided it's well executed.

Apr 26, 2021 · If you’re just wanting a good AK get it. If you’ve already got some rifles and specifically want a ak-103 clone I’d wait for a folding stock variant (even though the fixed stock is clone correct) Plenty of amazing folder adapters for …

Sep 15, 2022 · A big "Thank You" for all your hard work putting this comparison post together.

Thanks again. akbluz
