This PSA AK-74 has proven exceptionally durable, exceeding 15,000 rounds with minimal maintenance and no significant malfunctions like keyholing. The rifle features desirable Zenitco furniture, including a B-33 dust cover and a Leader Kit handguard designed to reduce height-over-bore for optics and lasers. Its 5.45x39mm caliber and AK muzzle brake contribute to very low felt recoil, making it a fast and effective shooting platform.

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 review of the Palmetto State Armory AK-74 highlights significant metallurgical concerns, including premature wear on the trunnion and bolt, leading to a firing pin failure.

Garand Thumb cannot recommend it as a professional-grade weapon due to these quality control issues.
