Garand Thumb revisits the PSA AK-74, addressing previous reliability issues like firing pin breakage and trunnion wear. PSA implemented engineering fixes, including a chamfered trunnion and updated firing pin channel, resolving these problems. The revised rifle demonstrated excellent durability over 5,000 rounds, with bolt wear comparable to high-end builds. Outfitted with Zenitco furniture, the rifle is now considered a highly recommended purchase at its $1,000 price point.
This comprehensive review details the 1000-round durability test of the RAS 47 rifle by Rob Ski of AK Operators Union. The test highlights significant wear and tear, including stock damage from drop tests, bolt carrier deformation, bolt lug chipping, and a critical loose receiver rivet. Despite these issues, the rifle continued to function, though concerns about long-term structural integrity are raised.
