rough to clean

scrub with ScotchBrite/Brillo to knock off the roughness from phosphating (which is probably what you're feeling if it's rough to the touch). if that's not enough you can use brass wool and clean up afterwards with some solvent.

it's also very popular to use smooth replacements from various makers. i like the Strike Industries one since it's very plain.
 
I can say that the plastic SI dust covers are a waste of money. If you run your rifle hard and then close the dust cover, it fucking melts. Just stick with the aluminum one or maybe get some sort of meme-engraved one if you must change it.

i was talking about their older aluminum cover, but it appears to be discontinued in favor of the more expensive billet version, which is a shame, because $20 shipped for a plain dust cover was a good buy.

they do still make an aluminum one here: https://www.strikeindustries.com/si-ar-budc-223.html
 
PSA is importing machinery and tooling to make Steel case ammo.

If the quality is anything like PSA's other offerings, I expect rifles to start exploding like IOs left and right.

We jest but I hope not, for the sake of the AKs; there's some things a thumb can't fix.

Anecdotal, but I've heard of steel case failures as being more destructive, because the cases fail at a higher pressure, though I have no clue as to the accuracy of it. The failure pressures couldn't be that different between steel & brass, right?

Brass is softer and more malleable, it tends to bulge and split when it fails, Steel is harder and more brittle, so it tends to shatter and fragment when it fails.

I also question where PSA is gonna get the steel from. Shitty Chinee quality garbage, probably.
 
Eh I'm really hyped. This might not be perfect but it's something. I really think PSA is going hit a home run with this and if so, others follow. Look it's fucking rare I'm optimistic, so let's all just hope it works out.
