I purchased a Kalashnikov USA KR-9 SBR. It arrived at my dealer today.

As you'd probably guess from the name and pictures, it's a 9mm krink style AK. Now the six to eight month wait begins...
Nice!
Hopefully when your transfer goes thru reman and steel cased 9mm won't be $0.80/rd anymore... :)
Hopefully, but I've been stocking up for years. :D
That looks sweet. I haven't paid attention to K-USA. They were marketing vaporware for so long I forgot about them. I'm guessing that prior to deciding to drop the coin and wait for approval you dug into them a bit. How is their product holding up in the wild? Those are proprietary mags right?
Damn, Atlantic has the pistol in stock. Nevermind, don't answer my questions. I can't get sucked in...
Interesting.
There were a few issues at first, but they seemed to have ironed them out.

I paid $1,200 for it which is reasonable by today's standards. It looks like getting the factory SBR cost me about $100 more than the pistol, but I would have had to buy a buttstock anyway.
Are the pistols set up so that a triangle or AK-100 series style side folder can basically just drop right in?Quote:

After a 10.5 month wait, it was finally freed from NFA jail.

My LGS has a pistol version in stock. I’ve been interested, but keep going back and forth. Will you let us know how it functions after a couple range trips?Quote:

A friend of mine picked up one of these a while ago and a mutual friend did the transfer so it got played with a good bit while the form 4 was pending.
Loved the look of the gun but it was heavy and well just shot ok compared to a mp5 or sig mpx. Still kinda want one myself just for the cool factor.
Here it is setup with a Primary Arms SLx 1X prism optic with a 9mm ACSS reticle and an AAC TiRant 9 suppressor.

I've been running a KUSA KP9B. I've got about 3000 rounds in without a malfunction. I'm using KUSA and Pufgun magazines. Ammunition has been 115 to 158 grain, every odd hollow point I had. I shot lead round nose and truncated reloads. A variety of steel cased as well as Blazer aluminum. I've had a blast shooting it at PCC competitions.
This short write up is making me come closer to separating with $1100. I’ve been that guy who keeps walking into the store asking to see it and then handing it back.Quote:

I don’t think you would regret buying one, I’ve had mine for about a year now and I take it out more then my MPX. It's just a fun and reliable gun.
I took mine to the range today and was able to put 150rds down the pipe. It functioned flawlessly and I was able to get it sighted in. I couldn't be more pleased with it and the new Primary Arms SLx MicroPrism (with 9mm reticle) that sits on top of it. I made a short video for those interested.

Y'all are a bunch of enablers you know that right? ;)
anyone know of a black polymer buttstock? Since I never fold up, it does not hafta be compatable with a foldup
I bought a Kalashnikov USA plastic folding stock for mine, and it fits and works better than the factory metal stock. I like it. It was less than $70 as I recall, as well. The latch to hold the stock folded does not work due to receiver length differences, but I knew that going in.
The only thing I didn't like about it is that the buttplate and cleaning kit compartment door appear to be metal, but they are plastic. I am waiting for metal replacements to arrive from KVAR as we speak.
Overall, I do like this gun. I have a shit ton of AKs, and for the most part I am over them. I thought I'd never buy another, but here we are.
thanks much for your replyQuote:

I do have the handle extension now in there, waiting for the stock to come in so as to avoid an extra shipping cost...otherwise I would just get the 2 seperately...but KUSA does not answer my questions nor do they answer emails
sad
especially when web site is lacking...from my PC I cannot get to KGBKlub...but I CAN get to it via wife's mac to finally get the discount coupon
again, thanks for your response
this is cute:
Got a msg that the stock is in, so I quickly added it to my cart, along with the handle extension already there. Went to check out and the extension is out of stock. Guess theyre playing games with alternate stock issues. But, I ordered the stock and will leave the extension for another day, especially since I am uncertain that it will actually fit the newly shaped handle, which is flat on the rear but curved in front. I was waiting so I could order both at same time to save shipping cost, which at one time said twas $10 and another $12
I found that KVAR listed buttplate...$5 for the item; $14 shipping
Turns out the KUSA butt plare is metal. I pulled mine off, and it was more apparent. Magnet sticks to it nicely. It is powdercoated heavily and even has what appear to be mold part lines in a few spots... but it's metal.
The KVAR buttplate is not a drop in fit either, but I'm sure it could work with some typical AK massaging.
The metal trap door from KVAR also does not fit. It's retained in the stock a different way, and it would not fit without heavy modification to either the stock, or the trap door..
I picked up a Resilient RS9 suppressor that's made specifically for the KP-9. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but here are with and without pictures.
