The PSA Jakl seems to be a controversial product, and we have purchased one to review. That said, let's start with an InRange standard - the mud test.
I’m actually glad we got a
sample via a purchase vs. PSA sending it. This is less vetted over and more likely to see what a random example of what they would send.
And it passed ..
Go watch Focustripp's video on the Jakl. His had an out of specc pic rail and it was significantly out of specc such that he couldn't mount any conventional optics and when he made a video about it PSA ended their partnership with him. Just food for thought.
@@armorers_wrench I saw that video as well
@@armorers_wrenchdon't they apparently have a warranty
@@JordanI135 yes lifetime but the warranty should be there for the occasional hiccup down the road. You expect companies to ship functional parts
All manufacturers fear the mud test
Everybody is gangsta 'til InRange's mud test comes on.
Anyone who doesn’t mud test on their own is missing something important.
Did not see this result coming. Super impressed considering the laundry list of good and cool guns that have failed.
Yea the high end Gucci guns don’t work but the el cheapo in the rusted out ford just keeps going
@@ericgill6992 I'm guessing it's the design philosophy of "reach out and touch someone on the moon" vs "just make the fucking thing work".
@@warweasel2832 are they that accurate? I thought they where junk
Finaly someone knows the difference between tolerance and clearance.
Well I do miss the "Im going to mortar it...at a 90 degree angle." Still cool it passed with no dust cover.
PSA just sold a LOT more Jakl's on the back of InRange. nice!
Yeah, it's ironic considering how many channels they sent this gun to...but won't even respond to our emails. LOL
@@InrangeTv wonder if it's because your habits of being open about DEI and talking about history as related to guns. I like your content, maybe they're not keen on more open mined/ forward thinking channels getting T&E items.
@@rhubarbpie2027 They don't seem to like channels pointing out their allegedly out-of-spec 1913 rail... as happened the other week on the FocusTripp channel.
I remember the long stroke ARAK-21 failing this and wasn't expecting this
ARAK probably just not well designed. Alot of the "piston upgrades" are like this, ends up less reliable than DI
Me: *can barely afford an airsoft gun*
Karl: *slathers multi-thousand dollar guns in mud*
This isn't THOUSANDS of dollars you poor!
bro its only 1300
That was surprising! Cant wait for a deeper dive from the bad man instead of a sponsored influencer.
Go watch Focustripp's video on the PSA Jakl. His had an out of specc pic rail which he proved with pin gauges and it was significantly out of specc preventing the mounting of conventional optics. Then when he posted the video showing the situation PSA ended his partnership.
@@armorers_wrenchThat video caused some turmoil. Lol.
I have a Jakl and has done well… so far at least…
@@armorers_wrench You are really making sure people know about that. LoL
But really what did you expect? Focustripp is a relatively small content creator who was condescending in his video about it lambasting PSA. Should the pic rail been out of spec? Of course not. But he put a high precision mount with recoil lugs intended for a precision weapon on effectively an aluminum AK and expected something more than he got. Should the pic rail have been out of spec? Of course not. Were his expectations from a proprietary gun at that price point misplaced? I think so. Was his approach poor, most likely but I think he did it for clicks and drama and the obvious reaction from PSA gave him more
I mean if that’s the worst thing about the Jakl, there are worse things to have issues with.
Bought a jakal upper to have something "different".
It just works, all the time, every time. And it's fun to shoot.
Same here, man. For me, its a range piece or Novelty if you will. Super fun for sure.
Karl gets the wheelbarrow full of mud, and my wife's eyes start twitching. 😅
Oh no! PSA once again proves they make well designed guns. If you look at the JMac videos conducting burn downs with the OSA AK47 GEN 5 E it out performed every military AK they tested it against to include Russian ALs by thousands of round over what those various companies could do. Just because a company offers budget doesn’t mean they are crap. Let this be a reminder of that. I’m not saying a cheap AR with cheap parts is going to perform like a Daniel Defense or Midwest Indiatries AR but PSA offers quality weapons as well. And here you go, a well designed weapon that continues to improve based on customer feedback! Cheers
Yeah I watched that video too. I remember Wasr blew up at around 600 rounds and Russian vepr blew up at 1000 round mark
I am impressed,...and relieved. I bought a JAKL pistol upper in .300blk because I wanted a folding brace little quiet beast. I wasn't necessarily looking for an item that would beat the mud test. But it is AWESOME that it does. Now I have much more confidence in my choice and like it much more.
Algorithmic booooooost for the algorithmic overlords
Wow, I did not expect it to just pass. That is pretty incredible given what has been through the gaunlet and the respective results.
Nice result. I have been tempted to buy a JAKL upper but haven't yet. Looking forward to more coverage in the future.
its a gun that has flair. is reliable. recoil impulse is good. looks good. has the g36 ak magic in an ar platform. for all the gun nuts complaining about issues, as someone who legally isnt allowed but can admire, i really think this is a protagonist gun.
Seems like so many people are hating on the JAKL. I was expecting it to fail based on all the negative comments I see. Looking forward to seeing more. 😮
Yeahm ... another mud test video.
I was already missing this.
First time being within an hour on InRange! Might I request a mud test of the Perun X16? It is an interesting rifle and I suspect it will do well, but who knows until it's covered in mud.
I love how people try to explain and describe the Jakl
Just got the PSA MK12 18 inch. Can’t wait to test it
"PSA didn't respond." Imagine my surprise.
I guess they are busy
@milkyyanks765 yeah busy droping people from their member club if you give a bad review .
My psa problem turned into a months long headache that required the bbb to make it right.
It passed … you may now toss your phone in protest
Ohh look another Focus Dip minion! It passed dumb ass .. lmao! @@COMMANDERHAWK22
im impressed! good job PSA!

this feels like a non sequitur.
firstly, I think most guns you have passed on this series have been short-stroke pistons. I think you could say that many/most long-stroke/AK platforms you've tested have failed.
But more importantly I think the fundamental stress point on the AK is the dustcover-receiver construction vs receiver-receiver or upper-lower.
As an upper-lower gun, I don't see what the long-stroke piston would have to do with the mudtest, except that with all that added momentum, it might theoretically have an advantage in reliable cycling (this is why Eugene Stoner did *not* gameify the AR15 bolt to be as light as possible).
of all inrange content, mud tests are top 3 favorite!
I just finished an article that was bound for Recoil Offgrid but may be hold. I’ve been quite pleased with this platform and the long stroke gas system is a an intelligent move.
Very cool. I'm actually surprised.
Another mud champ to add to the list with the ar and luger.
I would be very curious to see if the Kel Tec RFB (.308) would pass. Very well sealed firearm which seems to be the indicator of passing.
Nice ejection pattern too! Super consistent 4PM
At 42 the only PSA I care about is Prostate Specific Antigen.
Oh that's some good goo.... shovel more on it..
I think the G36/SCAR style bolt group is just very reliable in general, with its well sealed up internals but also very high bolt carrier to bolt mass ratio which also likely contributes to its ability to slam the bolt back into battery even with dirt on it just by having a much bigger momentum. So I'm really not surprised at all this passed the test
Can you talk a little bit more about the recoil impulse? How comparable is it to, say, something like a well-gassed carbine length AR-15? I love the aesthetics of this rifle but I doubt I'd be able to get my hands on it anytime soon haha
When we do a full review, yes.
@@InrangeTv Sweet, I can't wait!
@@InrangeTvcurious how the overall weight compares to a basic 16” AR and AKM
@@phillipk1258that's the only complaint I have with it, they weigh a ton
I’ve kind of been wanting one and now I really want one.
Nice review
This is the third time it has been promoted to me by CZcams.
Not surprised by this at all.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ InRangeTV!!
Glad to see it earned the InRange Seal of Hubris.
I'm hoping to see videos of Karl and Russel running that Jakl in 2 gun matches.
Pleasantly surprised.
Shoot, now I want one... Thanks carl...
Oh cool, another entertaining gun from the boys in my home state
Success. Thank you.
I really like what PSA is doing, the jakal is a neat innovation/ design, but i might wait for gen 2 to come around.
Do optic mounts with recoil lugs fit?
I got to admit I like the JAKL and after seeing this, I want one even more. I wish they'd make one with an 18" barrel though.
heck yeah nice gun, very nice gun
That went very well. Just one more reason for me to buy it.
I wonder about the charging handle though. Would it still work? It didnt get used in this test.
Man i want one. I really dont care about all the other pmag adapters but whatever reason i like this one.
Super dope!!
A jackal! Jackal! It's a jackal! It looks like a jackal! Jackal? Jackal! It's a jackal! Jackal?
No. It's a JAKL. 🤫
“IT WASN’T RIGHT THE FIRST TIME YOU SAID IT, WHY THE HELL WOULD IT BE RIGHT THE NEXT TEN TIMES?!"
@@dalecooper4051Shut up, Football Head!
I came to the comments for this and was not disappointed lol
"People are gonna ask" Yeah - you closed the bolt before the mud test.
No gun will work dumping mud into an open action, that's just stupid.
Well, while we're at it time to mud test Bren 2 / 3
"I'm sorry little one..."
PSA’s politics and QC aside at least they can put there concept rifles into retail spaces and not charge 2500$ for an AR18 derivative. Bushmaster’s 2010 world changing rifle… remember that.
Good design other than the way the handguard mounts.
Impressive!
Awesome!
Yes.
Impressed
Will an optic mount work on the rail? They have a qc issue with picatini spec.
A full review will be coming.
@@InrangeTv I really want for no rifles currently, but if they can get qc to be leviathan spec, I'd be interested in this. Legendary mud tests are appreciated.
Pretty damn impressive
Im surprised it passed. I have seen on youtube that this rifle is coming out of specs on some areas due to QC. I do however have some plane Jane ARs and a couple of GF3s from PSA no issues so far.
PSA's quality control has been a running joke at least since 2016 when they went full steam ahead on production and then had to start dumping guns when Hillary didn't win. I feel like you're always going to be rolling the dice with them (also with your credit card data, use a temporary card number).
Oh for gods sake give it a break already .. the thing passed where other weapons fail .. give it a break with I heard it on the internet bs @@eargesplitten9876
Impressive
"It's like a G36" then lists all the ways its nothing like a G36
Yeah I don't understand that. Did he mean to say something else? The G36 is short stroke, and the Jakl is long stroke. It's not like Karl doesn't know this, he literally owns/owned a G36 from Tommybuilt.
So, this is the ACR we have at home sort of gun?
There should be a mud test round 2 where it's buried in the goop for several minutes/hours. I know dirtying the stock means nothing but for the few that pass a true real world 'this was dropped in the mud last night' would seal the victory.
Feel like a proud dad with how long I've shopped at PSA, including their stores in SC when I lived there. Going on 8 years or so now.
Curious what happends if you throw whole rifle to mud cover it and let is there month.
Then clean and shoot?
Bad things.
Look like a decent design
Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much let alone a flawless pass.
I'd be curious to hear how the mud affected the charging handle when used, if you got an insight. - Obviously because it locked back and ran properly you never needed to use it, but I'm wondering if it would have functioned properly if you had needed to, either due to malfunction, or just clearing the gun.
Just remembering the AUG test where the cocking handle was totally locked up by the dirt.
Impressive😮
Have you done this test with a Kel-Tec RFB ?
What did it say when you went on the channel page and typed in "RFB"?
this did better than the M7 spear😂
I've been impressed with everything that PSA does, except for their barrels. They shoot fine until they are quickly shot out. I think this is a heat treatment issue, which is probably why they shoot well for their price. If it's a softer heat treatment, there's usually less warping, causing less accuracy issues.
I'm not familiar with the jackl but he didn't charge a round into the chamber while the handle is cover in mud and if he did I wonder how the gun would handle that.
What gas setting do you have it on?
Normal
I am not really a fan of modern guns, but something about the jakl is pretty
In the future every rifle, regardless of the operation, looks like an AR, and every pistol, regardless of looks, uses a Browning tilting barrel.
Welp, had that wrong. I would have thought it was going to fail on the first with that ejection port.
As you guys said, it's stopping the stuff getting in, in the first place that really is the pass/fail here.
I wonder if a military would want to adopt the Jakl. Ukraine is license producing the BREN 2
In typical AR fashion it passed first try. Amazing video guys.
Oh nooooo.......don't you dare say anything nice about a PSA product and more so the JAKL?!! This goes against what Focus Schmuck and the PSA hating minions are telling us. Thx for the fair and honest test! Seeing how many firearms have failed this in the past I was actually suprised how well it did.
I love how big of an impact Carl and his shovel of mud has on the greater gun community and how massively the results of each mud test affect the discussion of each firearm.
I really thought you has a *Public Service Announcement* to tell us.
Be interesting to compare it to a Sig 550 if you can get your hands on it as they seem to have a similar AK but westernised design.
noooo dont encourage him, not a sig 550 lol
@@CMINCOGNITOWhy not? The 550 was developed for a mainly conscription based military. E.g., It was clear from the start that those things will be abused.
@@slavepusher i know i know youre right its just such a lovely weapon
@@CMINCOGNITO Take Deep Breaths, I didn't mean for a mud test, I meant in a general shooting, handling type of comparison and if it just happens to fall into a random wheelbarrow of mud that just happens to be lying around then so be it. 😀
@@CMINCOGNITO Will it help if I tell you that I killed my first one because the Piranha (stryker) hatch crushed that thing? The barrel was pointing in a 70 degree angle to the left.
Oh wow 👍
I wonden how the PSA JAKL handles the freeze thaw freeze test, ARs don't generally like it, and in my neck of the woods is quite a likele occurence.
Cool!
Well I thought I was doing quite well guessing If a gun passed or failed, based on video length. Turns out I guessed wrong and the ACR we have at home passed with flying colours
Neat!!
ID like to see you run the charging handle with all that mud on it
Wow 🤯
Impressive. Didn't seem to care about the mud. The number of guns on that list is pretty short.
How about a mud test for the Sig Spear/Spear LT?
You mean this one?

Interesting data point, thanks.
