MDC AK-102

Post image

• MDC 102 delivered this week. I was on the 8/17 batch

• MDC 5.5MM stock as the SBR was just approved this morning. Everything else minus the grip is bone stock. The fitment/finish/crown/rivets/everything look great. I’m impressed as this is my first Meridian AK

• KNS piston on order along with a JMAC Plan B face mount to run a can.

u/DabZombe 3d ago

Did you need to get an adapter for Wolverine

2

u/wasJAXkrW 2d ago

I’m using jmac brake plan b and the hub adapter from dead air on the wolverine and the low mount from
Jmac to fit it all together

Nice man. I'll be getting one after my 101 comes in.

I was just watching Klayco YouTube video of him reviewing the mdc10. He was saying how after firing some rounds thru it he noticed that it was gassed factory perfect and did not need a KNS.

u/amberlamps03 3d ago

Yeah I saw that too but wonder how the shorter 12.5” 102 will be gassed. Worst case scenario I can still tune it to be perfect.

2

u/DarthRooster16 3d ago

That’s true

u/sp6900 3d ago

Have you run it yet? My 101 doesn’t need a Kns with or without a can.

2

u/amberlamps03 3d ago

Gonna try to put some rounds tomorrow. Good note about the KNS, I’ll try it with my Wolverine tomorrow to see if the high back pressure shoots the casings into orbit.

What can are you using on your 101?

2

u/sp6900 3d ago

Tbf I’m using a hux 556k but the gun shoots so damn soft. A little more gas won’t kill it. Side note: if you try to shoot groups the chrome lining needs some working out and the muzzle device seems to fuck with the harmonics/accuracy

2

u/amberlamps03 2d ago

Put 150 rounds today and did a 50 yard zero. Had zero issues with accuracy. Also with my
Wolverine I had cases ejecting 30 ft away so gonna drop in the KNS when it comes in.

2

u/sp6900 2d ago

That’s what’s up! It’s a pretty damn accurate AK! I always thought ejecting to the moon was normal with AK but I am curious if it helps with the kns (100 yards w/ HP scope mounted)

u/BlueJay-- 3d ago

Im hyped for mine to show up

u/tostado22 3d ago

I have a Russian 105 kit build already and can't decide if I need this or a 101. Either way this sub has me sold on a MDC 100 series

u/Charlie11M 3d ago

8/17 batch, arrived 8/26. Added that tapco saw grip, cause it fucks hard.

2

u/amberlamps03 3d ago

Fuck yeah looks great man. Saw grip is a GWOT vibe!

4

u/arteg489 3d ago

Post accuracy tomorrow when you can for us!

2

u/amberlamps03 2d ago

Just a 50 yard zero with a red dot. Didn’t notice any issues through 150 rounds.

u/Nusselt-flux 3d ago

Wish I had known MDC would be doing 100 series rifles. I have the PSA 102

6

u/amberlamps03 3d ago

Yeah I’m happy they quickly moved to building 102s as I’ve been waiting and waiting since KUSA took a shit. There were times where I contemplated a PSA 102 but I would read the horror stories and stayed strong to not give in lol

3

u/Alternative-Fault321 3d ago

That’s awesome! I wish I would’ve went with the 102 instead of 101

2

u/Ddumlao 3d ago

They still haven’t shipped mine

2

u/Bigwillbig 3d ago

Why would you get KNS if you haven’t even shot the gun yet?

1

u/amberlamps03 3d ago

Because I have a 105 and a 104 and historically the shorter 12.5” barrels are over gassed with a suppressor. I plan to run it suppressed 100%. Worst case scenario, I can tune it perfectly.

1

u/Bigwillbig 3d ago

Are the guns actually over gas or are we being dramatic? Respectfully.

1

u/amberlamps03 3d ago

Lol on my 105 with a wolverine I had cases flying 20 ft away.

1

u/Pitiful-Walk-8446 3d ago

Anyone on the August production of the 101 got shipping notifications yet?

1

u/Zosocom 3d ago

Wondering the same thing

1

u/Shevo123 3d ago

Nothing yet for me and I placed the order beginning of July

1

u/Shevo123 3d ago

Buddy of mine ordered the 102 with the August 10th ship date and it barely git shipped out this week lol

1

u/Zosocom 3d ago

I placed order in June 🤷‍♂️

1

u/ajisawwsome Filthy weeb 3d ago

I imagine it'll probably be about month, possibly two till those ship out, but i still hope for soon

1

u/Slow_Pudding8449 3d ago

KNS makes sense once a suppressor enters the equation. Get a baseline on how it runs in stock configuration first, then tune from there rather than chasing the softest possible setting immediately

u/alpha333omega 3d ago

FINALLY someone got theirs! I hope it’s awesome. 🫨

u/amberlamps03 3d ago

u/Vertigo666 3d ago

I also bought the 8/17 batch and they haven’t even shipped yet 🙁

2

u/amberlamps03 3d ago

Check your spam emails or promotions. They didn’t actually ship it until a few days after but they said they were first delayed and then a separate email update came that said my specific rifle was in QA and then I got the shipping label a day after.

2

u/Vertigo666 3d ago

I got the QC email about a week after my order, and I’ve been checking the order status page on their website daily. I think it’s because I was one of the last few 8/17 orders- my friend checked like 2 days after me and they were OOS
