PSA Sabre 5.56 AK Price and Availability

The PSA Sabre WBP 5.56 AK went on sale September 25, 2026, at $1,099.99. The launch configuration is the Moss Green/Burnt Bronze rifle with a Plan B mount (SKU 51652241910).

This is more than a caliber swap on the 7.62x39 Sabre AK. Polish WBP core parts give it a different parts-kit foundation, while PSA supplies the barrel, dimpled receiver, and the Sabre trigger, rail, furniture, and muzzle device.

WBP Parts Form the Core

WBP supplies the locking and cycling parts that matter most: the forged front trunnion and the hammer-forged bolt and carrier. PSA also lists the WBP rear sight assembly, lower handguard retainer, dust cover, recoil spring assembly, and safety, all from a new-production imported kit. That makes the rifle a Polish-parts build around a PSA receiver and barrel, not a fully domestic 5.56 AK with a WBP magazine added at the end.

The current 7.62x39 Sabre AK uses Romanian parts-kit internals, so the new 5.56 rifle starts from a different country of origin and a different caliber-specific core. Our PSA Sabre line guide explains where the existing AK fits beside the Sabre ARs and Daggers. The best AK rifle guide compares the wider AK market by receiver, origin, and caliber.

PSA Builds the Sabre Package Around It

PSA adds an ALG AKT Enhanced trigger with a DLC-coated lightning bow, a Soviet Arms 11.5-inch rail, and a matching railed gas tube. The rail and gas tube use a Burnt Bronze finish. The receiver and barrel wear Moss Green, while the B5 Systems pistol grip and stock assembly use RAL 8000 brown. The colors make the rifle easy to identify, but the rail and trigger are the parts that change how it handles.

The rear trunnion accepts a side-folding stock and lets owners swap to other locking side-folding configurations. The included B5 stock keeps the familiar adjustable shape of an AR-style stock while the folding trunnion shortens the rifle for storage and transport.

A 16-Inch Barrel Keeps the Package Simple

The 16-inch barrel gives the rifle a standard carbine-length setup without adding the short-barrel rules that come with a compact AK. PSA makes the barrel in house, cold-hammer forges it, and chrome lines the bore. The 1:7 twist matches the fast twist common on 5.56 carbines, and the muzzle is threaded 1/2x28 rather than the M14x1 left-hand thread on the 7.62x39 Sabre AK. The launch video also shows the rifle firing both with and without a suppressor.

The installed Sabre Plan B flash hider serves as the suppressor mount. That defines the mounting family, but it does not make every suppressor setup an automatic fit. Owners still need to check the suppressor and adapter specifications and verify bore alignment. Our AK accessories guide covers optic, light, sling, and muzzle priorities, while the rifle comparison tool helps compare current catalog rifles side by side.

Magazine Compatibility

PSA has not published a broader magazine compatibility list for the Sabre WBP 5.56 AK. That matters because 5.56 AK magazines are not one universal standard. The confirmed fit is the 30-round WBP 5.56 magazine included with the rifle, so test any other magazine before buying it in quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions

▶How much is the PSA Sabre 5.56 AK and when did it launch?
PSA put the Sabre WBP 5.56 AK on sale Friday, September 25, 2026, at $1,099.99 for the Moss Green/Burnt Bronze rifle with a Plan B mount (SKU 51652241910).
▶Is there an AK chambered in 5.56?
Yes. The new PSA Sabre AK is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. PSA built it around core parts from a new-production Polish WBP 5.56 parts kit and added a 16-inch PSA barrel with a 1:7 twist, a Soviet Arms rail, an ALG trigger, and B5 furniture.
▶What magazines does the PSA Sabre 5.56 AK use?
The rifle ships with one 30-round magazine where allowed by law; PSA's announcement identifies it as a WBP 5.56 magazine. PSA has not published a broader compatibility list, so do not assume it accepts AR-15 magazines or every 5.56 AK magazine.
▶Is the PSA Sabre 5.56 AK built from WBP parts?
Yes. PSA lists the bolt, carrier, front trunnion, rear sight assembly, lower handguard retainer, dust cover, recoil spring assembly, and safety as WBP parts from a new-production imported kit. Those parts sit in a stamped steel dimpled receiver assembled with swell-neck rivets.
▶Does the PSA Sabre 5.56 AK have a suppressor mount?
The barrel is threaded 1/2x28 and carries a Sabre Plan B flash hider, which PSA describes as a Plan B suppressor mount. The launch video shows the rifle firing with a suppressor. Owners still need to confirm the exact suppressor, adapter, alignment, and ammunition combination before use.
▶What is the barrel twist rate and thread pitch on the PSA Sabre 5.56 AK?
PSA lists a 16-inch cold-hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel with a 1-in-7-inch twist and 1/2x28 muzzle threads.
