ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 KUSA KP9 Kalashnikov USA clone of the Russian Vityaz-SN aka pp-19-01. The closest we can get to owning a Vityaz-SN, PP-19 Bizon or Saiga 9. Damn don't I wish we'd gotten in the Saiga 9's... Sad. Purchased this from Atlantic Firearms on the 17th, arrived the 22nd. Went and picked it up from my FFL/range today. Gave it a going over, clean and lube, function check and loaded one round... BANG! Load the mag... BANG!BANG!BANG!... X's 30. Put 150 rounds through it, smooth as silk sheets. Overall fit and finish are first rate, no complaints... Yet. This gun absolutely begs to be SBR'd. I've a KUSA/SB Tactical 5.5mm Triangle Brace on order, as well as five more 30rd magazines. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mark 2,452 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Nice looking pistol. Kind of looks like a German MP40 and an AK47 had a baby. Maybe an underfolder? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then I'm thinking about either an RDS or holographic sight. Edited April 30, 2020 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mark 2,452 Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 I'm sure you will make it perfect for you. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Screw the Brace, by the time KUSA gets them out and catches up with the preorders, my Form1 will be approved. Yeah, I knuckled under and canceled the brace, got the real deal Vityaz triangle stock. Just need a little patience now. The KUSA mag couplers are nice too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Ya know the ol'saying, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." Well KUSA was gracious enough to send some swag with my order in the form of a KUSA KP9/KR9 Backpack. I have to say that gesture is quite appreciated, over the top customer service. Now the least I can do is post some pics and review it. The KUSA Backpack seems well built, the fabric, straps, MOLLE, zippers and sewing all seem decent materials for the price point. It secures the weapon well, plenty of room for most gear, eyes, ears, mags, ammo, tools, trauma kit and whatever else. I can easily tote all the above, with up to 500rds of ammo. Four internal mag pouches, room for more stored loose, and MOLLE pouches can be attached. I have the bag loaded with the KP9, 6 loaded mags, six 50rd boxes ammo, eyes/ears, holstered XD9 w/ extra mag, twenty 8" targets, notepad/pen and a trauma kit. And there is room for more gear. Initially I give it 4:5 stars. There are a couple of points internally where exposed stitching causes me concern, possible lack of durability due to abrasion. Small Top Pouch Ammo, trauma kit, eyes or other misc. Outermost Pocket Data books, pens, ammo, eyes/ears or other misc. Middle Pocket 4 magazine pouches and room for lots of other gear. Inner Pocket Weapon Securement and room for lots of other gear. Opposing side has a large mesh pouch that nicely fits round 6"-8" Shoot-N-C targets, should fit 10" too. Notebooks and other misc. Backside, there is an internal pouch that could be used for such as extra padding or even a ballistic plate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I didn't like any of the Braces and finally filed an eForm 1 for an SBR. Took 22 days to come back. Next is manufacturing a Suppressor on an eForm 1. Edited July 3, 2020 by ChileRelleno 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Well done. It took them a really long time to get things rolling, but I have been well pleased with everything of theirs that I have seen or worked on. There was a 9mm Molot offering headed this way, but... Anyway, it wasn't as cool as the Vityaz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, it wasn't as cool as the Vityaz. I'm impressed as hell with their KP-9. I wish their KR103 was a true to form folding stock. That should enter the market soon. On a side note, there was a guy a few weeks ago showing off one of the only dozen or so Saiga9 rifles that made it into the US as Importer/FFL samples before the Ban. I was drooling hard over it... What a shame, fuck Obama and the Feds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted July 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Saiga-9, one of a dozen or so potential dealer samples that made it into the US. Sure do wish it was mine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerry52 893 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Wow! If only! I have a AR9 with Mean 9mm magpul adapters and it shoots great. Would have got this if it was around. THANK FOR PHOTOS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Well I think I finally got'er how I want 'er, except for a TLR-1 light. SBR'd with the standard Russian Vityaz triangle stock. Added a HK style charging handle. EOTech XPS2-0. Magpul MS1 sling with Blue Force Gear QD wire loop. Rifle Dynamics stock pouch to keep paperwork handy. Edited January 10, 2021 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
