PSA AK-104 Zhukov-U Pistol – Black, 7.62x39mm, 12.5″ Barrel
The PSA AK-104 Zhukov-U Pistol in Black represents the next step in Palmetto State Armory’s commitment to producing American-made AK rifles and pistols with unmatched quality and historical authenticity. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Russian AK-100 series, this compact tactical pistol chambered in 7.62x39mm combines rugged durability, precision manufacturing, and modern enhancements to deliver a firearm that is equally at home on the range or in tactical environments.
Heritage and Performance
In the 1990s, the Russian Federation created the “Century Line of Rifles,” numbered 101 through 108, for the export market. These rifles became highly sought-after by AK enthusiasts for their unique configurations and calibers. The PSA AK-104 pays tribute to that history while leveraging modern American manufacturing. Built with a hammer-forged front trunnion, bolt, and carrier, and a gas nitrided 4150 steel barrel, this pistol is designed for longevity and consistent performance under demanding conditions.
Modern Tactical Features
The PSA AK-104 Zhukov-U is equipped with a Magpul Zhukov upper and lower handguard and a Magpul grip, both in black, offering improved ergonomics and heat resistance. The side folding rear trunnion with a JMAC Customs Picatinny adapter allows users to add a folding stock once ATF tax stamp approval is obtained. The combination sight/gas block design streamlines the front end while maintaining precise target acquisition, paired with an 800-meter rear sight for extended-range shooting.
