PSA "Spiker": A Clone of the Chinese Type 56 AK
This video reviews the Palmetto State Armory (PSA) "Spiker," a reproduction of the Chinese Type 56 stamped AK rifle. The Spiker features a permanently attached underfolding bayonet, a key characteristic of the original Chinese Type 56. The description highlights the historical significance of the Type 56, its distinct design elements compared to Soviet AK patterns (a hybrid of milled and stamped receiver features), and its widespread use in conflict zones. PSA's recreation is praised for its accuracy and good price point, offering a more accessible alternative to increasingly expensive original imports. The video also references a separate review of the milled Chinese Type 56.
