    I think you nailed it on this entire genre of folding stocks. They look cool but they are awful to actually use.

    Cool rifle but for the same price you can build an Aero/BCM 14.5 mid length build and not have to worry about PSA QC being hit or miss.

    Or save up for a Geissele SuperDuty when they're on sale, or for a similar price buy a SuperDuty upper, or the Geissele USASOC upper. The Jakl seems like a novelty.

    Very good review, thank you, and give yourself a little pat on the back. You've done a great job growing your channel over the years. And you have done it the hard way. Not by putting out fluff pieces with dramatic camera work. You should take pride in the fact that the channel is getting respect from manufacturers.

    I kinda feel the same way about PSA as I do about Kel-Tec. The stuff they make varies from surprisingly decent to absolute garbage, but at least they do interesting things. Like they could have easily stayed in the bargain basement AR market where they already kinda dominate but instead they decided to just make clones of literally everything they can get their hands on, including "ACR we have at home" here. Gotta at least appreciate that.

    Gun culture being swallowed up in social media influencer wars is so tiring and frustrating. I get sick of the drama farming and trying to figure out which KZreadrs are shills (most of them) and which ones aren't... it makes me want to be done with GunTube entirely. I'm just here for guns, I don't even care about the drama. There's no integrity in this space, it's all just corporate now.

    For me the only folding stocks that I have used that I actually liked were the strike industries dual folder, the SB tactical FS1913, and the Midwest industries Alpha stocks. The Sig minimalist stock that came on my MCX was great but they are nearly $300 retail so I wouldn't recommend them for that price.

    When people say "PSA sucks" we're not saying any one PSA doesn't work. We're saying the shoddy QC is unacceptable and the shortcuts PSA takes to keep their firearms at a specific price point make it more likely that it won't still be working at 50,000 rounds. If you can live with questionable fit and finish and you'll never fire more than a thousand rounds, then perfect, PSA is for you. If you shoot a few hundred rounds every month on the same gun because you're serious about training, PSA's are not built to your standard. Period, end of discussion. BTW, this review being 200 rounds tells us *nothing* at all about this gun's longevity. KZread reviewers giving their thumbs-up after *ONE* range day borders on being completely meaningless.

    @@TheCamaro5 That's exactly my point. A 200 round review will never figure this out. The casual who puts three mags downrange and then the gun goes to live in his closet, only to come out once per year for another 2 mag range session will never figure this out. It takes someone putting several thousand rounds through the gun to figure out whether it's good or not, you can't do a first shots review and decide one way or the other. Incidentally, the JAKL crapping the bed at under 5,000 rounds is ridiculous. Even 5K is just a warm up for a truly battle worthy rifle.

    You’re mad he is honest about being an affiliate but then probably co-sign everything Garand Thumb says 😂 don’t be mad if PSA has a good gun on their lineup. QC is going to be a question for a long while but let’s not act like getting a good gun from them is fluke either. LMT, Sig, DD, Geissele, and even BCM have all had QC issues in the past. EoTech, Aimpoint, and NightForce in the optics world too. It happens to all manufacturers at some point. PSA is cranking out 5x the firearms of any of those other manufacturers too. If they all have a 5%-10% rate of QC issues you are going to hear about PSA mor because they produce more. There are just more samples out there. It’s simple mathematics. My buddy has a JAKL that about 6 of us have all ran hard and has been solid. I’d buy one off that experience alone. I would only buy it if had all my other ducks in a row though. Too new to be a “go to” option when there are other proven directions you could go.

    Companies like PSA who tend to innovate a lot are more likely to have a few QC issues. It comes with the territory. If you never want a QC issue then go with companies like Glock who haven't innovated anything since 2004 OR companies like Sig who have huge QC budgets but don't seem to bother with using them because just the name (like Sig P320...) means quality control. Right?

    @@ranchmanager9126 Firstly, my comment was more about the reviewer than the gun itself. A reviewer who is an affiliate of the brand they are reviewing isn't trustworthy. And secondly, if we're gonna talk about the gun, innovation is not an excuse for poor quality. If your product doesn't work, it doesn't work. You can innovate and work out the problems before you start selling the guns to the public. And my opinion of Sig is the same. Their products are riddled with problems recently and I wouldn't recommend them either.
