Kind of sucks that the ammo shot up to .40 cpr because of the "sanctions"

Nitride barrel = hard pass.

Now if we could just get American companies to produce cheap 7.62x39 ammo we'd be in like flint!

Yes, 7.62x39 or 5.45x39 should definitely be hard chromed. Still, it's nice to see American companies putting out good quality AK's.

Why don't American companies chrome line their AK barrels? Does it add that much cost to do it. Of course they don't all chrome line their AR barrels either.

From what I’m understanding it’s a rebranded PSA

We got one in as a rental gun at work a few weeks ago and that's exactly what I thought when I looked at it. David

This was on another site. It's from PSA.

"DPMS is a different company than PSA. It is a sister company to PSA owned by JJE Capital. I talked with the DPMS rep this morning. I was told that DPMS will not be on the PSA website and will be sold exclusively through distributors and independent dealers. They will be coming out with other variations of AK's in the near future".

Thank you,

Big fan of the older DPMS stuff, back before they got bought out. Here lately / newer stuff, not so much.

Used to be (back in the day) that chrome lining was an available option on most of their barrels if you were willing to pay the extra for it. They did not do that sort of stuff 'in-house' and sent those barrels out to be done. Same with Cryo treating a barrel. They didn't have that sort of machinery or experience 'in house' but if you wanted it done they knew exactly who to send it to and it would be done right. All you had to do was ask for it and be willing to pay the extra...

Back in the beginning they sold a LOT of stuff they did not have anything to do with making / manufacturing or even assembling, but they sold good quality stuff.
