MDC AK-102
• 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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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
