They need to make a enhanced range verizon. Would be a killer hog gun.

That looks like it could be a good base rifle that I wouldn't feel guilty about whoring up with Magpul stuff.
I would not get too excited about this just yet, PSA has a less then stellar record with customer service and has sold some pretty lame quality items in the very recent past (Think PTAC). So until a few respectable trainers who specialize in the AK platform put their seal of approval on this little gem I would suggest we slow are roll just a bit.
We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.
Personally I've only had good experiences with PSA's customer service (and the staff of their brick-and-mortar stores are far better than your typical gun store). As far as PTAC goes, well I've seen DPMS junk for sale on BCM's website too.
However, after PSA's AR-10 rollout was botched (out-of-spec/strange proprietary lowers that wouldn't take aftermarket triggers) we all know we should wait for initial reviews of the new AK. But if it does prove to be solid, it could be a great addition to the market.
Bets on if these will roll out before or after PSA's promised 1911's?

I'm going to order one. I wonder if the 60 days until availability is realistic or not. I'll find out.
It will be interesting to see the reports on these. Magpul's new AK furniture has me looking for a host, but unfortunately the AK market doesn't have a whole lot of low cost options out there anymore. While WASR's have gotten better, it would be nice to see a competitor in that same price range that isn't such a crap shoot.
Larry Vickers knows a little bit about AKs, and he already publicly vouched for the quality of the parts and the company making the parts for this, so that's at least a good start. The PSA premium line of of AR stuff has been solid, and their customer service has drastically improved in the last few months, so I think things are looking promising.
I was also told by a PSA rep at SHOT that they are going to release a second version of this AK with an upgraded trigger, nickel boron BCG, and a rail mounted Aimpoint H1, for $999! If that is indeed true, and they can keep it at that price point, they will sell a metric ton of them.
