Introducing the Palmetto State Armory (PSA) Krink "Bakelite" in 5.56mm NATO, a semi-auto pistol that seamlessly blends the iconic design of the Soviet-era AKS-74U with the modern versatility of the NATO caliber. This compact firearm is an excellent option for collectors and enthusiasts seeking both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. In excellent condition, this piece displays only faint handling wear, suggesting minimal use. The bore is bright and clean, with sharp rifling, indicating it has been meticulously maintained or scarcely fired. Included in this sale are the owner's manual, paperwork, a cable lock, and a tactical soft case, along with one 30-round magazine and two 20-round magazines.
The PSA Krink "Bakelite" is more than just a firearm; it's a tribute to a historic period in firearm development. The original AKS-74U, affectionately known as the "Krinkov," was developed in 1979 to offer a compact solution for paratroopers and special forces. This modern iteration captures the essence of its predecessor with a side-folding SB Tactical triangular brace and "bakelite" style plastic furniture, providing both functionality and nostalgia. The black finish and faux bakelite grips enhance its classic look, while the side optic rail and Krink-style sights offer modern adaptability.
Designed with a long stroke gas piston action, this pistol combines the charm of the classic Krinkov with the accessibility of the 5.56mm NATO caliber. Its 8.4-inch threaded barrel with a Krinkov booster maximizes performance while keeping the design compact. The side-folding rear trunnion and hinged dustcover emphasize its portability and ease of use. Whether for sport shooting, personal defense, or simply as a collector's item, the PSA Krink "Bakelite" offers a unique blend of history and innovation. Its competitive pricing and exceptional build quality make it an appealing addition to any firearm collection.
