I don’t care for the magwell guns. But I love how much they hate it, and it’s one of the better looking ones.
It’s 2026 and dudes still making fun of “airsoft” quality.
I cant say anything you haven't already heard but that thing looks heavy. Why are the pics such low resolution. You had me squinting and still was lost
Hard to understand the psa hate in this sub. Have had a gf3 for 5 years and no problems with it. Sure I don’t plan on shooting 10 billion rounds through it or throwing it out of an airplane like some people claim to do in this sub, but it shoots fine, it doesn’t jam, it hasn’t blown up 🤷
As someone with a GF3-R (and WBP Jack, WASR10, and Norinco NHM91) the PSA hate is completely justified. Plus their 5.56 variant has been known to wear heavily, lose headspace, blow up, etc.
And might I add, not only does PSA build them incorrectly (they don't dimple the recievers or use swell neck rivets which is very important to do), but their receivers are also terrible and do not give a positive engagement at all from the safety selector, because the notch is stamped instead of cut like every other ak in the world. And yes, I've tried bending the safety selector to no avail.
It is too low res to say for sure, but going off the hex head bolts and the buttons on the PERST, I’m going to say they are airsoft.
Not hating on using them personally, the IR unit actually is decent if you get lucky with one that holds up, but I doubt someone with $2-3k in Zenit is buying a PSA AK-556
So do most people here play airsoft or how could you tell the parts were airsoft and not just some kind of knock off? BTW this is coming from someone who's never bought zenith etc anyways so maybe its really, REALLY easy to tell for some.
Real question. How are these things reliability wise? Yeah magwell ugly and curved mag supremacy and all that but I'd love to have an AK option in 5.56 I already have a couple guns in x39
Yeah OP, don't listen to the extremely knowledgeable people who have gone at great lengths to explain the issues with PSA AK's. Just listen to this guy.
It’s not just this guy, plenty of actual PSA owners have thousands of rounds issue free. Yes, they’ve had firing pin issues on some. But all thin stemmed 556 aks have had pin issues at some point. The hate isn’t to scale for the actual issues. PSA has a oob and it goes viral, but Arsenal grenades a trunnion and receiver from an OOB and no one blinks an eye……
“Extremely knowledgeable” 😂. I’m not calling you dumb personally, but claiming that the average redditor that just bandwagons regurgitated claims is knowledgeable about things they have probably never personally tested is funny.
Nice practical build, that doesn't break your wallet. I also have the 5ku sport 4 rail and the sight rail, really surprised how well it's made. Don't listen to this reddit, wooden Aks suck ass.
This can’t be real. Dudes got an aimpoint on thousands of dollars (current prices) of aftermarket furniture slapped on a dogshit rifle. Dudes memeing for sure.

No way you got that sling mount off M416GelBlaster.com
If I ever get killed by one of these put another man's dick in my mouth immediately so I can be less gay
I wanna upvote but you have the perfect amount.
We can upvote you instead he will known
While I hate the look of the mag conversion, it's very practical for US aks.
5.56 and PMAGs will be the most easy to find and lootable items when SHTF. If you survive long enough of course..
Gets domed by Kyle with a rusty old Mosin in the first 5min
Shit it’s a possibility 🤣🤣 might even get domed by one of these PSAs

Is there anything aside from the PSA that isn't airsoft?
Someone please, fetch the peepee hammer
Sick man, just add a couple JMAC parts and it’s still dog shit
this ain't it
😂

He better watchout for that Toolcraft bolt. It might lose headspace. Or get primer pockets blown in the firing pin channel.
Dude gotta realize you can NOT post an ak without a wooden dick on r/ak47
Sick ass AR
I actually dig the pmag conversion 👀
Ya I didn't know this was a thing as an ar guy kinda makes me Wana get an ak. Because I have a safe full of pmags
Hell yeah bröther, add all the weight to that grenade.
Wait, this isnt a meme post?

Thanks. I hate it

Really is uncalled for tbh. If it fits his needs, who cares if it's not an import
Ak is the only thing people are happy about being imported. Most of the time people want made in merica

Someone save that poor Zenitco
Where’s the real zenitco
It is too low res to say for sure, but going off the hex head bolts and the buttons on the PERST, I’m going to say they are airsoft.
Not hating on using them personally, the IR unit actually is decent if you get lucky with one that holds up, but I doubt someone with $2-3k in Zenit is buying a PSA AK-556
all the accessories including the aimpoint are definitely airsoft
Yeah, the airsoft Aimpoint certainly… is a choice.
That I am going to hate on. Just run a Holosun if you don’t want to spend the cash.
Everyone hating on this, while I want the build list. I like it.
Would be money but the AR mag kills the whole thing 0/10 rock and lock only
reverse bubba where the aftermarket furniture is really good but the original rifle is shit
If by "really good" you mean Temu grade airsoft.
Image is too low-rez to fact check, but it appears to be real Zenitco from here
Wrong, but okay.
May God forgive you for bringing forth this abomination into His creation.
I think it looks dope man 👍
Hot 😂
I hate that I love this. It's beautiful, and it shouldn't be.
Zenitco Sport-4 Kit ?
Looks like the airsoft version
dih hardener
What the fuck
So do most people here play airsoft or how could you tell the parts were airsoft and not just some kind of knock off? BTW this is coming from someone who's never bought zenith etc anyways so maybe its really, REALLY easy to tell for some.
All knockoffs are airsoft, really the only way to tell is by judging the poster.

Do they take standard AR mags? I’m not familiar
Real question. How are these things reliability wise? Yeah magwell ugly and curved mag supremacy and all that but I'd love to have an AK option in 5.56 I already have a couple guns in x39
if you like it, I like it. good on you to get an AK
hell ya hell ya
Bro, just buy an AR at that point 😭😭😭 it is kind of sexy though actually
idk i think you need more attachments
Post a super gay setup of a shit AK
Doesn't elaborate
Kinda based tbh
What’s the stock?
What comp is that ?
Holy crap dude, this is terrible
fake zenitco =)
I like the look except for the magwell. Heretical as heck. Whats this about airsoft parts? Im outta the loop.
The only cool thing is the ar mag adapter
What magwell is that? And does the 556 not have rock and lock mech?
Damn must be nice I too which I could live the good life
Actually zenitco or the airsoft ones
Gorgeous
Don't listen to the hate. I have a PSA 556 as well and its built sturdy and shoots very smooth.
Yeah OP, don't listen to the extremely knowledgeable people who have gone at great lengths to explain the issues with PSA AK's. Just listen to this guy.

Well... I guess youll be getting your money back via the daily warranty repairs
Goes hard. What are those rail covers? I don’t think i’ve seen those before.

Man, fuck the haters. This thing is sick and very practical.
Ak snobs are the worse than actual communists.
you own a shitty AK don’t you mr krabs
lol see what I mean.
Yeah, we're supposed to just be happy and thrilled about companies feeding the AK community with garbage.
It’s really not that deep.
Looks front heavy but I like it
The mag conversion makes me die inside
Congrats!
I like it, I really fuck with the mag conversion
Honestly, kind of looks like an AS Val. I dig it

He has all airsoft parts and electronics on a low tier rifle. There isn't a thousand worth here much less thousands.
I always forget about knock off airsoft. In that case, airsoft on a PSA sounds like a PBJ 😂
