A pain to reload but its so awsome

Its funny how all these G43 sucks videos from guntibers came from this year. This is their plan to reduce the price of G43s.

I figure PSA’s thought on long stroke was that they’re doing so much with AKs now. I wonder if they’re using AK pistons.

Appreciate you guys. These look super cool, but I just don't see the value, especially for the accuracy and poor quality stock.

Imagine how many veiled threats you can toss a bloke as you’re both spending 15 mins reloading

Who ever said Steel is better than Ceramic? AR500 Official Company? How High Were They? I'm cheap and own Spartan AR550 steel and even I know I wouldn't rely on it without extra coating, a kevlar spall capture sleeve, trauma pad and a prayer.

This was a really great review; no fluff, no brand disparity nor bias, no cherry picked tests... Perfect. Please do more.

This is why I bought in 300blk... something fun and different. Hope it works, though lol

Test groups on RUclips are worthless and aesthetics seem to mean more than performance... too true on both counts.

Loving the quality and detail of the videos, especially this one on a popular new platform/upper configuration, however I think my biggest impression was how much I like Karl's hat! 😂

Ha, closed captioning censored half ___.

for the cost of that stock it should not be that flimsy

I like this type of review . No hyperbole just information about the rifle’s performance within the criteria used in the test . Cheers guys 👍🏼

It looks cool... Some people say that looking cool is all that matters! XD

Its a fuggin AR10... literally a predecessor of the rifles you mentioned.... lol

High glass content in glass-embedded nylon causes the mold injection dies to wear out faster and the mold is one of the biggest costs to polymer parts. That stock looks like it's made of several large complicated pieces so the machining for the mold is probably a lot costlier than other parts and there's too much relying on the polymer-polymer fit to make it mechanically stable. The engineering guys probably got carried away, so the injection department had to order really pricey machining work, and the financial department told them to cut corners. The engineers were probably relying on the rigidity of the high glass content parts to make it feel solid and cost-cutting undermined that.

If you really really wanted to have more shots to be used as quickly as possible, I'm thinking you didn't really care about speed of reloading, but instead just had two loaded guns, or another loaded cylinder to make the reload fast enough that it would really matter.

PSA uses FN barrels as the factory is right down the street. Good barrels!

Excellent video! Love this content.

Y'all are missing the core market by focusing on the wrong iteration. The JAKL was originally devised and marketed as the .300blk pistol. More importantly, as a piston-driven folding kit to buy for your 80% lower so everything can be off books. That's what I bought and have interest in. Test one of those against a .300blk AR pistol.

This gun has a lot of potential. All they have to do is work out the kinks and get their manufacturing process down.

The op rod and piston in a short stroke gun have to reciprocate. They just don't stop in the same spot as a long stroke gun.

Showing receipts = like + subscribe. Nice integrity

How to know if a GuNtOoBeR is a shill? See if they're apart of leviathan group.

Thank you for an honest review! :) <3 PSA still has endemic QC issues, sad.

You need to be careful when discussing the glass content of those polymer stocks, Russel. The intellectual property of your brain actually belongs to GWACS.

For all the shade you’re throwing at other tests no one shoots for groups with 55gr pmc. Try again with fgmm or Hornady eldm and see how it groups.

Thank you for the very thorough review gents!

You can’t call the gun 2.5 MOA using range ammo. I mean you can but it’s not representative of what the gun can do.

Nice review! When Gunbunny takes it out for a Brutality, can you send her out with a better stock, like the Zhukov, or Midwest Industries Alpha AK stock, to see how much of an issue the F5 atock is? Thanks!

I can see why paper cartridges were mass produced.

Interesting gun, and an excellent review.

That was so expensive

Now this is a proper review,thanks russell.

What I heard, "Stop selling this cheap pos stock and just use the Zhukov". Got it. I've been using a Zhukov on an Ak74 for years with no issues. Good to know they have adapters for folder Ar platforms.

My controversial take: The stock is ugly as hell. I know thats not important at all, but I never liked the scar style, ACR style, or variants that have a top and bottom that slide. Yes who cares if it works, but it doesn't, so I can happily bash it now. Robinson XCR classic stock or old Galil style would look sick. Some of the pistol variants of this seem cool.

Karl, we disagree on some social issues, but your journalistic endeavor here is unquestionable. Thanks for doing what you do, and keep up the excellent work.

Based on what little I've seen about this rifle the Jakl just doesn't look like it's worth the premium price.

The minor flexing is not a major issue outside of battlefield or kicking down doors. An arm brace flexes a lot more than F5 stock and I don't hear anyone crying about. The JAKL has many other stock options, find the one suits your preference. For the price point its a solid platform that should improve over time in option. No, I am not a PSA fanboy, just someone in the industry. Nice video review.

I agree that the F5 stock is flexible when fully extended but as a shooter that doesn’t fully extend my F5 stock it really isn’t overly flexy when out 1 click. I wouldn’t pay the asking price for the bare stock from F5 but it’s a good deal when it comes on the Jakl.

Bren 3 is out so they better hustle with that next gen Jakl already

You guys are so great together! Very informative with actual technical specs 😮. Subbed to both. Oh yeah I'm not a bot! Wow! Haha

Most of the complaints given here don't bother me too much (the out of spec rail and wobbly stock are exceptions). My main complaint is that the MSRP is about twice what it should be. If you have that much money, buy a high-end optic or something. Don't buy this (or at least get it at a significant discount).

Oh boy, I can't wait to hear about how shit it is based solely on the fact it's made by PSA and affordable, not $7000 and from Switzerland. I will edit this comment if I'm wrong after watching the complete video.

I am a happy PSA customer. I do think the rifle is cool! But I really don't need another tacticool rifle. Honesty, I'm burned out on them. I've gone back to sporting clays and I'm enjoying the hell out of "old man" guns with wood and haven't touched an AR in months. Mainly because they're all kinda the same. I still love PSA and what they've achieved. But I would have expected more for a mechanically disadvantaged product.

Thank you for the review . I own two Jakls and using XTac 62 gr I consistently get two inch groups even after mag dumps. As far as the stock goes I have yet to have a flexing issue and I am wondering if the plastic used has changed ? You may want to contact PSA about the flex issue

Another great review! Now I wonder how the PSA Jakl compares to the PSAK GF (PSA AK-47). InRange review 🙏🙏 I'm one of the guys with too many ARs looking for something different that can shoot just as well as one. There's lots of other semi-autos but they kinda suck relative to ARs, especially when shooting past 200 yards.

I think your conclusion is perfect for this. This gun kind of reminds me of an FNC in that: It works and is reliable, but is more expensive, heavier, and a little worse than an AR. So really it’s a fun gun.

I have a PWS with a long stroke piston and it's my favorite rifle when shooting suppressed. Most of the gas is vented out just a bit further out and it makes it tolerable shooting indoors. Outdoors you hardly get any gas in your face at all. I think they have their place in modern fire arms for sure.
