Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber is the PSA AK-V and what magazines does it use?

The PSA AK-V is chambered in 9mm Luger and is designed to be compatible with CZ Scorpion magazines. Palmetto State Armory also offers proprietary 35-round magazines, 50-round extensions, and 50-round drums for the platform.

What are the key features of the PSA AK-V's action and controls?

The AK-V operates with a blowback action and includes a last-round bolt hold open (LRBHO) feature, manually operated by a stop on the left side. It also has a large paddle magazine release and a hinged top cover with a full Picatinny rail.

How does the PSA AK-V perform when suppressed?

When suppressed, the AK-V can be 'gassy' with full-power ammunition. However, its accuracy remains excellent. Regular cleaning is advised to prevent carbon buildup, which can affect trigger reset.

Early production models sometimes experienced issues with spent or live rounds jamming the action. Palmetto State Armory addressed this by incorporating an internal 'MAC bracket' within the receiver to prevent such jams.
