Palmetto State Armory has just added several .300 BLK options to its line of Krinkov AK pistols.
Everybody seems to want a Krinkov. Officially known as the AKS-74U, the little Soviet personal defense weapon was originally chambered for 5.45x39mm, but imported commercial options are now very scarce as well as the parts kits that are used to manufacture them domestically. PSA has thankfully answered the call with its Krinkov series of AK pistols. Originally released earlier this year chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO, the company has just expanded the line with the addition of .300 BLK models.
Known for excellent performance out of shorter barrels, .300 BLK is a perfect match for the Krinkov’s 8.4-inch pipe. Even more impressive, however, is a change that PSA made under the hood. By using an AR-style gas block instead of a traditional AK-style one, the company was able to move the gas port closer to the chamber. This increases the dwell time and helps to ensure more reliable function with both supersonic and subsonic ammunition, all without using an adjustable gas block. The only downside of this is that the .300 BLK Krinkovs will only function with their included, proprietary gas tubes.
As for the model variants currently available, PSA is offering the .300 BLK Krinkov in a few different configurations. MSRP starts at $1,049.99 for the “SBR-ready” model that has no pistol brace and classic wood furniture, and MSRP is $1,199.99 for the classic wood furniture models that come with folding triangle pistol braces. For a few rubles more, you could also get one of the two tactical options that feature either a railed JMAC forend or the SureShot MK3 Krink Chassis, both of which also include a triangle pistol brace. Further, all models are ready to accept a proper 4.5mm folding stock if you’d like to go the SBR route.
