anyone hear any news about the PSA Jakl?

I know it was supposed to come out in 2020 before the whole year went to Just wondering if anyone here heard anything.

I have not heard anything. And I have been paying attention.

Still waiting on that PSA MP5, and that PSAK74, and that PSA Glock clone...

Kinda seems like they've suspended all their new product development in favor of pushing out as many of the same old products as possible, at 50-100% markups.

Odd. Just did a spot check on prices. Pricing at least on AR9 lowers and completes isnt much higher than before. I think $50 more for a lower and $100 more for an upper.

Though I do question how they suddenly have so many lowers in stock. Back when I bought mine it wasnt unusual to see mostly "out of stock" items. Now its more in stock than not. Which doesnt make sense in the current panic. I wonder if Mr Hobbit's recent experience of REALLY slow shipping in another thread could indicate they are selling stuff they know is in the pipe but not on hand yet. (and only backorder stuff they have no idea when it will arrive)

Not a bad short term business plan to get what you can, while you can, especially if they had inventory or supply chain to do it, as long as they can keep an eye toward the longer term product development. Could be short sighted, but could also fuel the $$ needed for the product development/get to market.

also, probably not a great idea to work up tooling for new products that could very well get banned in early 2021 if things don't go our way in November.

They probably just have there manufacturer making them for them as fast as they can, rather than having maximum and minimum on hands.

Still waiting for that 74 over here, too. And waiting. And waiting lol. Probably a 70/30 chance I'll be a buyer (if I'm lucky enough to nab one while in stock) even if it's unproven, due to PSA's warranty and customer service. They've released several photos of these things in production and in final form, so I'm confident it's only a matter of time before they hit the website.

And I can't speak to PSA's other offerings, but their AK price increases have seemed fair to me, especially in this climate - no 50-100% markups that I'm aware of. PSA's cash cow GF3 Classic that could be purchased for about $600 in the summer of 2019 was $670 just a couple weeks ago.
