Palmetto State Armory Expands Krink Lineup with 7.62x39 Chambering

Palmetto State Armory continues to demonstrate its commitment to listening to customer feedback with the latest addition to its popular Soviet Arms Krink series—a new variant chambered in the classic 7.62x39 cartridge. PSA has built a strong reputation for delivering firearms that enthusiasts actually want to own, all while maintaining accessible price points that make firearm ownership attainable for more Americans. The new 7.62x39 Krink perfectly embodies this philosophy.

Completing the Krink Family

The Palmetto State Armory Krink lineup previously featured chamberings in 5.56x45mm NATO, .300 Blackout, and 5.45x39mm. However, enthusiasts consistently requested one more essential addition to round out the collection: a 7.62x39 variant. PSA heard that feedback loud and clear, and now delivers what many consider the perfect complement to the existing Krink family.

Premium Construction and Features

Core Components

Owners familiar with PSA's Soviet Arms Krink series will recognize many of the quality features that define this platform. The new 7.62x39 Krink is built around a cold hammer forged trunnion, bolt, and carrier—components known for their durability and reliability.

Barrel and Gas System Specifications

The firearm features an 8.4-inch barrel constructed from 4150 steel with a protective nitride finish. Technical specifications include:

• Twist Rate: 1:9.5
• Thread Pattern: M24x1.5RH
• Muzzle Device: Krink Booster
• Gas Block: 90-degree front sight gas block combo

Receiver and Sighting System

Built on a stamped steel dimpled receiver, the 7.62x39 Krink incorporates thoughtful design elements including a rear sight mounted to a hinged dust cover and a left side optic rail for mounting modern accessories. The fire control group features a single-stage single-hook configuration.

Available Configurations

PSA offers three distinct versions of the 7.62x39 Krink to suit different preferences and requirements:

Braced Pistol Options

Two braced pistol configurations are available at launch:

• Black furniture variant
• Plum gloss finish variant (a particularly attractive option)

SBR-Ready Version

The third configuration comes in the popular plum gloss finish and is designated as "SBR ready." This version ships without a brace but includes a Picatinny rail on the rear, providing flexibility for owners to install their preferred brace or stock.

Adaptability and Customization

All versions of the 7.62x39 Krink feature a rear Picatinny rail attached via stock pin to a 4.5mm folding rear trunnion. This design offers excellent versatility—the rail can be completely removed to accommodate a traditional 4.5mm folding stock if desired, allowing owners to configure their Krink to their exact specifications.

Pricing and Availability

Each PSA Soviet Arms 7.62x39 Krink ships with one 30-round magazine (where legally permitted).

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Pricing:

• SBR-Ready Version: $999 MSRP
• Braced Versions: $1,199 MSRP

These price points reflect PSA's continued dedication to providing quality firearms at competitive prices, making this highly anticipated addition to the Krink family accessible to a wide range of enthusiasts.
