KUSA KR9 “Kali9” deep dive

[etaylor]

Show pic of your bolt in its entirety. Where the piston is attaches the carrier especially. That would show the truth on how long the kali9 can last.

There is a user on here selling a broken kali9, as not broken. But that user shared plenty on reddit, so I know its broken. Hopefully no one bought it.

The carrier is the weakest on kali9, and its proprietary. If it breaks, there is a gunsmith that can fix it, but it is not 100% failsafe. Best is to buy replacement....but company went under.

Are you referring to the one listed that a repair job was done with some welding to the bolt tube?

I did find those but was not sure if they worked well or not. Seems like that is the only place for new mags.

puff mags are great, fully serviceable...if you have a Dremel

Cutting wheel for that "extra plastic", followed by a sanding wheel to make it look pretty. But thats just me

It almost seems like you either get a solid gun with really no issues, or a crappy one all together. These guns are like the delorean car of the firearms world

Mine ended up with a live round lodged under neath the hammer & disconnector. Wasn't paying too much attention, somehow the extractor carried the live round to the rear and it dislodged when the bolt hit the end of travel and got lodged. Not easy to remove, safety wouldn't rotate up to get it out as the trigger was jammed in the way. Was close to cutting the safety shaft off with a dremel, finally got it out. Happened in the first few hundred rounds. Called KUSA and they said to send it in, but then I heard, well...

Was going to get a firing pin & extractor from them.

Pretty much any American made AKs.
