Just remember PSA is about arming the people. They dont deal with gov contracts where they bend the knee to all of their rules. The cost savings are in our favor. But that trade off is some of the quality control. I own some PSA and they have always taken care of me when ever i have had any range issues. Theyre not going to be for try hards but it just does the job.

@xi-deadshot-ix5838 2 ай бұрын

Idk about that… Read their shipping restrictions. If you’re stuck behind enemy lines they won’t ship stuff that’s still perfectly legal in states with certain restrictions. You can’t get an upper or lower in states like CA, CT, MA, or NY and they don’t have a complete “compliant” jakl on their site last I saw. Kind of a bummer for those folks because they can easily skirt the restrictions since the jakl uses an AR lower. You can get guns like that from most of the companies that had/have govt contracts…. Hk, fn, colt, sig, Glock, beretta etc.

@xi-deadshot-ix5838 Ай бұрын

@@fishkd2240 it is psa deciding. You obviously don’t know how it works or what the laws are. And I’m not saying they have to do anything. They sell other “compliant” models. All they have to do is throw a comp mag or a fin grip & pinned stock on it before they ship it. Other companies are buying them from psa and making them “compliant” then shipping them to those restricted states… I like psa and buy their stuff. But it’s asinine to say “they’re about arming the people” when they aren’t selling many models to people in states that make firearm ownership difficult when there’s an easy way to do it. It’s arguably more important to arm more people in restricted states rather than focusing solely on the already over saturated market composed of the “free states” if “arming the people” is their true goal. Personally I think it’s mostly just a sales pitch. But if they make cool stuff I’ll buy it. I’ll never be able to drop $13k on a knights m-110 sass but I can easily afford psa’s cheap copy.

I picked up a Jakl about 2 months ago. I zeroed the rifle, then went to town. I fired about 1000 rounds of ammo (55gr, 62gr, 77gr). I also used various magazines (PMAG, Lancer, HK, FN, USGI, Hexmag, MFT, and Troy). The gas was opened up all the way and the rifle was neither cleaned nor lubed. No malfunctions after I figured out the gas regulator. At the end of testing, I confirmed zero and had no shift. I got lucky and didn't get a PSA lemon. Not the most accurate rifle and a little heavy for what it is, I'm not disappointed in my purchase. I would not recommend this rifle to anyone who doesn't own a quality AR.

@@popcornchicken5552 you can buy or build an AR that is lighter, more accurate, and more cost effective. ARs also have an extensive support channel. The JAKL did good in my testing but that is one rifle. Batch testing needs to be done before a track record can be established. This is the reason I would recommend first time buyers get an AR.

@tacticalcombatwombat9694 5 ай бұрын

My only real complaint about these guns is that they use a government profile barrel and it makes them more front heavy vs using something with a more balanced taper or a pencil barrel to help offset the weight of the piston.

@FitnFire 5 ай бұрын

I get that and that’s valid. I don’t find it to be heavy but I also understand that different people have different preferences

@bigshoe84 5 ай бұрын

That was my thought also, as soon as they noticed the gas regulator not staying in the position it was put in they should have sent it in to be fixed. In my mind it did a disservice to the rifle to force it through 5000 rounds suppressed at the fully open gas setting, obviously having excess wear issues and overgassing malfunctions. Any non KZfaq reviewer that purchases one would have fixed it before just running the crap out of it.

@@FitnFireHow do you come to this conclusion? The Spear LT is a short stroke piston (like an AR 180) and the JAKL is long stroke (like an AK). The Spear feels more like a DI AR because the reciprocating mass is less. It is also not nearly as front heavy as the JAKL (even with a full 16" barrel on my Spear and a 14.5 P&W on the JAKL).

@@mavrikmavrik3032 that is why I said essentially. The operating system is forward of the BCG opposed to a standard AR allowing for a buffer-less system. It’s like comparing a Tacoma 4x4 Sport with a 4x4 Off Road

I've had my Chinese Polytech since I was 18 and I don't understand the Fads moving away from direct impingement to long stroke and short stroke operation. The long stroke or short stroke compared to DI won't be as accurate potentially, they will recoil more, and they will be more front heavy and less ergonomic. Better ergonomics means better performance over time. Why does anybody want more weight out front? Why does anybody want more weight period. This is the USA and we make AR15's, just get your good hot and dirty with a better caliber than 5.56. Imagine a 5.56 long stroke, its the worst of both worlds, lol.

No mention of the stock being a flimsy piece of shit that doesn't even deserve a place on an airsoft rifle? I just got mine yesterday and I literally couldn't order a replacement fast enough. This also requires the 1913 rail adapter from PSA. But yeah this F5 stock is an embarrassment. Feels like I'm shouldering an accordion.

The 5000 round review from T-REX on this rifle was a complete and utter embarrassment, it's sad because I wanted this rifle to perform well.

The JOKEL.... PSA needs better QC.....Stop churning out massive amounts of rifles just to rush it out the door just to make a profit. For what you are paying for this rifle you shouldn't be sending it back or having problems as soon as you take it out of the box...

To play devil’s advocate, that is systemic across the gun industry though. Springfield SA-35 & Prodigy IWI Carmel Glock 44 Sig P320 Are just a few examples of firearms that were recently introduced and have had significant issues right out of the gate.

Garand Thumb, love him to death but had a bad gasblock plug for like an hour of his review. So cant really listen to that without knowing he didnt send a message about that till the end of the video. Once it was fixed his ran flawlessly. Mine has run flawlessly for about 1500 rounds now.
