Palmetto State Armory (PSA) is all about equipping Americans with the ability to exercise their second amendment right. The company has strived to make affordable and well built AR-15s for the masses. Over the past couple of years Palmetto State has been growing their selection and jumped into AK market. The company offers AK-47s, AK-74s, and Vityaz-ish clones. Now, PSA has added to that selection with the PSA AK-101/102, chambered in 5.56 NATO. The inclusion of the PSA AK-101/102 comes at an great time due to the Russian ammo bans. Also, including the added uncertainty if Russia will be able to import other things due to the rising tensions between Russia and the United States.
Below, is the product description and specs from PSA on their PSA AK-101/102.
Product Description
The Palmetto State Armory PSAK-101 continues the forward progress of the American Made AK rifle. Following the unparalleled success of the PSAK-103 and PSAK-104, Palmetto State Armory pushes forward with the 100 Series line of AK Rifles with the PSA AK-101.

The 100 Series line of AK rifles and pistols combines advances in American manufacturing with Russian weapons lineage to bring about a timeless shooting experience for the purist in you.
