Ive seen that Kraut made AK from GSG. Looks good, but it’s got that do-gooder add on that seems to piss everyone off: the magazine disconnect safety. Not a fan. Not on pistols, and especially not on an AK clone.
Now that PPSH has some promise. As long as its not a GSG product.
The Saiga .22 you posted about yesterday has more promise in the .22 AK line.
I think the PPSh is a GSG – and it’s a heavy little sucker. Some gun-mag recently did a quick review of it.
The AK’s are heavy for a .22 also – and the wood is probably better than it should be for an AK.
The GSG AK I saw was done in black polymer, like most regular Bulgarian and Russian AKs. It has a removable muzzle nut, but it doesn’t attach to the actual barrel ala real AK clones, but attaches to a barrel sleeve. Like the photo in the link provided, it has a catch for a folding stock, but with a fixed buttstock, it’s also useless. I don’t know why it’s there.
Like I said, not a bad design, but that magazine disconnect is a show stopper.

I’d prefer a Marlin Mod.60, but I’m stupid that way.
