Palmetto State Armory Gen II KS-47 Nitride Lightweight
<p>The Palmetto State Armory KS-47 G2 is based on the AR-15 and combines the modular construction, accuracy, and precision of the AR platform with the stopping power and the magazine options of the AK. The KS-47 G2 lets the AK shooter capitalize on their inventory of AK magazines and AK ammo with an AR-style platform. Unlike the AK, where the barrel is permanently pressed into the receiver, the KS-47 G2 features an AR-style modular configuration which consists of a barreled upper receiver, and a lower receiver that houses the fire control group and magazine. The modular configuration allows customers to have several different barrel configurations with one lower receiver, just by releasing two pins.</p> <p><b>Lower</b>: The 7075-T6 forged lower receiver is hard coat anodized, and accepts standard AR-15 fire control groups. The extended magazine release is outside of the trigger guard for safety, which allows for an AK-style release movement but also features oversize side paddles for fingertip release by the trigger finger. The KS-47 G2 receiver also accepts standard AR buffer tubes. The KS-47 G2 lower has steel reinforcements to accept AK style surplus magazines including drum-style. This Gen2 design features a PA-10 carbine buffer spring and heavy H1 buffer to ensure reliable operation with a wide variety of aftermarket and surplus magazines. <b>Through extensive testing, we have determined that we can only guarantee the reliability of the KS47 G2 platform with the PA10 carbine buffer spring and heavy H1 buffer. The KS-47 G2 Lower will accept most aftermarket fire control groups (Geissele, etc.). However, due to the magazine catch geometry, one-piece drop in triggers such as CMC style triggers will not function in KS-47 G2. </b></p> <p><b>Upper</b>: The KS-47 G2 upper receiver is precision machined out of forged 7075 T6 aluminum, and then hard coat anodized for durability. While retaining the look of a standard M4 upper, the KS-47 G2 upper is designed to work with the new Gen2 KS-47 lower. The upper features integrated over-insertion tabs to prevent the bolt from dragging on the magazine. This CMV 4150 barrel is chambered in 7.62x39 with a 1 in 10 twist and has a single, large feed ramp to accommodate the larger case diameter of the 7.62x39 round. The barrel is nitride treated for accuracy and durability, and is finished off with a 5/8-24 thread A2-style compensator. The forward assist, dust cover, charging handle, and safety are all standard AR-15. This KS-47 G2 upper is finished off with a PSA 13.5" Lightweight M-Lok Free Float Rail. <b>The KS-47 G2 upper will not work with a standard AR-15 lower.</b></p> <p><b>BCG</b>: The KS-47 Bolt carrier group is designed to work with AK-47 magazines, and features an extended firing pin. The carrier is made of nitride treated 8620 steel, and the gas key is attached with grade 8 bolts and properly staked. The bolt has been redesigned to function properly with most AK-47 magazines. The bolt is nitride treated 9130 steel. </p> <p><b>Magazine: </b>The KS-47 G2 comes with one Magpul 30 round AK-47 magazine (where allowed by law). The new Gen2 KS-47 has been tested and is guaranteed to work with the following AK-47 magazines:</p> <ul> <li>Magpul AK-47 Pmag</li> <li>Romanian Stick Magazine</li> <li>Romanian Drum Magazine</li> <li>Chinese Drum Magazine</li> <li>Chinese Stick Magazine</li> <li>Korean Drum Magazine</li> <li>Korean Stick Magazine</li> <li>Yugoslavian Stick Magazine</li> <li>Bulgarian Stick Magazine</li> <li>Circle10 Stick Magazine</li> <li>Hungarian Stick Magazine</li> <li>Russian Stick Magazine</li> </ul> <p><b>** Due to the unique geometry required for the KS-47 G2 BCG to function, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ALL</span> other magazines will not be guaranteed to work. If you are using a magazine not listed above, no warranty claims will be accepted for magazine functioning issues.</b></p> <p><b>KS-47 Gen1 & Gen2 Compatibility:</b></p> <p>The KS-47 G2 uppers and lowers will function with the KS-47 G1 uppers and lowers. However, if any KS-47 G1 parts are used, all of the improvements of the KS-47 G2 may not be optimized. We recommend using Magpul AK-47 Magazines on any KS-47 that is a combination of Gen 1 and Gen 2 parts.</p>
