About This Firearm
The Palmetto State Armory AK-103 is a polymer-furniture semi-automatic AK in 7.62x39mm built for range shooting and defense. It has an MSRP of $999.99. Its barrel is an FN cold hammer forged, chrome-lined blank with a stated 1:9.5 twist.
It arrives with a fixed post front sight and the standard 800-yard rear leaf, an AK-74 style brake already on the muzzle, a side scope mount on the receiver, one 30-round magazine and a cleaning rod. Nothing adjusts, because the stock is PSA's fixed classic polymer unit.
If you're cross-shopping, the Century Arms VSKA has an MSRP of $949.99 at 7.50 lbs, with S7 tool steel in its carrier, trunnion and feed ramp and the RAK-1 trigger group fitted. The Riley Defense RAK-47 has an MSRP of $929 at 7.00 lbs with teak furniture. All three are US-built stamped AKs, so the muzzle thread decides which accessories carry over from one to another.

Strengths & Limitations
- PSA's lifetime warranty extends beyond the original purchaser and covers shipping both ways, so it survives a private sale.
- The bore is chrome lined, so corrosive surplus ammunition does not pit it.
- PSA states that the rifle is made in America, and it is built on the AK-103 pattern with a matching gas block and front sight base.
- The M24x1.5 right-hand thread is the AK-74 metric pattern, so the AKM brakes, flash hiders and suppressor mounts that fill the US accessory market will not fit.
- The fire control group is a single-stage, single-hook unit, so a two-stage break means replacing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the folding-stock version?
No. PSA sells the side-folding AK-103 as a separate rifle, so check the stock a listing describes before ordering.
How do I mount an optic?
On the side scope mount on the left of the receiver, using an AK side-rail mount. The dust cover is smooth, with no rail on it.
What twist rate is the barrel?
1:9.5 right hand.
