Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FosTech Echo Trigger and how does it work on the PSA AK-V?

The FosTech Echo Trigger offers three modes: safe, semi-auto, and echo. In echo mode, it fires the firearm once when the trigger is pulled and again when the trigger is released, providing a rapid firing capability without being a true automatic.

What accessories are featured on the PSA AK-V in this review?

The PSA AK-V is equipped with a Sig Sauer Romeo 5 red dot sight for aiming. It also features a SureFire 640 Dual Fuel light, mounted using an articulating system for a lower profile.

Were there any reliability issues with the PSA AK-V, and how were they resolved?

Yes, previous reliability problems were linked to carbon buildup from suppressed fire. Cleaning the suppressor and running the AK-V unsuppressed resolved these issues, improving overall performance.

How did the 50-round drum magazine perform in the PSA AK-V?

During testing, the 50-round drum magazine experienced several 'stovepipe' malfunctions. This suggests that drum magazines may still present reliability challenges compared to standard stick magazines for this firearm.
