We all asked  for it and nobody listened, until Barwarus answered the call. Its finally here.

After seeing positive feedback from Kalashbash I went ahead and ordered one direct from Barwarus at $299 ($304 shipped). Frontier Armory lists them a bit less at $274, but at the time was not yet shipping.

Pics for collective judgement :







Klay Owens of Klayco47 fame said its a perfect clone that even mounts to real Zenitco lowers. Going to pair it with a B-10U. Will follow up once I get a chance to get everything mounted and get out to do some testing.

A real zenit fit my PSA forearm, so if as stated above is true, then I'm going to go ahead and assume it will fit on the PSA. I'll order one next week possibly and let you guys know.

Nice. I hope it works with Zenitco stuff. This is Turkish correct? Or are these now US made?

I thought I saw they were Turkish, but then the website says they have a US facility, so maybe both? It wasn't 100% clear to me. I do know they have a pick-up location in NW Houston that's only a 30 minute drive from my house. I may opt for that. These past 2 weeks have been expensive for me. Bought an LMT MARS H and a suppressor for it. It may be 3 weeks before I can order one.

How does one select the color option from the Barwarus website? I want to try one and that awesome zenitco green would be pretty fabulous

@nictra if you order something LMK so you can pick mine up too, assuming I can get the color I'm after

The 33 is only in black. The B30/31 clone has ODG listed but they are out of stock

Not to get off-topic, but while checking out the Barwarus site, came across this and wanted to know if anybody has any experience with it? Seems like it might be good especially for reducing the fireball in a shorter barrel with a little sound forwarding thrown in:

I talked to Barwarus yesterday in regards to their FDE option, and they said FDE is specifically going to be available by the end of June, with OD Green at or around the same time.

Edit: As I checked their website right after replying, the FDE/OD Green option for the Bravo Handguard, and Bravo Handguard for their next pre order is now available

What's this you say? Reduce fireball, sound forwarding? Nonsense. Send it into whoever is next to you. Cant find the PSA dtk-2 clone so the jmac brake will have to do



Base gun is a PSA GF4 104. To fit PSA's oversized everything the B10u took a little filing and the mounting "arms" of the B-33  BW-T33 had to be angled/halfway inserted into the handguard before hammering it in order to fit around the rear sight block. Otherwise install was easy and everything lines up as it should.

If time allows this weekend I plan to grab an optic and get everything zero'd. Initial impressions are good.

Nothing says "You pansies to my left and right gonna learn to give a brotha some space today" like a big fat side-port brake!

Looks good man, will be following for the range report.

I'd like to try that Barwarus muzzle device though, but a little too pricey for poors like me.

I stated above, a real zentico fits the new PSA stuff, so my assumption is this will fit as well. I also stated I will be buying soon, but it won't be for another few weeks

Can confirm that it does! I just got one to put on my AK-104 with the PSA SA-10U/SA-19 handguard, and it fits.

That’s not my experience. The SA-10 will require significant filing in order for the T-33 to fit.

The newer ones are squared and do not require filing.

I wonder if PSA will reach out and replace mine…

I have the Sa30U and 31 and Zen's zentico B31 fir right into it. I bought the rifle about 6 months ago. I know when we tried the 10u or whatever the shorter one is it did not fit and I side it had a fillet that would require filing.

Don't know if their newer 10u is squared or not, I just know the 30u is and will fit the b31 and assuming this new Turkish one

I have the SA-10U pictured above. It was one of the first, so they may be at a second generation, who knows. It rubbed me the wrong way when my b-33 wouldn’t snap in and I haven’t purchased the long one that you have. It would be nice if they offered to replace it with something that works.
I have Zenitco HG that fit the Barwarus T33, so maybe I’ll take some photos in a bit. But my PSA 10u doesn’t work without modification.
