AK- ALPHA Rifle

[Rab]

Not a fan of the AK group of rifles but on this occasion I rather like it. There is of course the added bonus of with it being made in the West, it'll be more than capable of hitting a barn door

As long as it can hit a 1.7m high "Barn door" centre mass at 0-300m thats good enough.

I reckon that won't be a problem as it isn't Russian made

Sorry guys but you missed the point-this is for young generation discovering AK platform.And this is good,also retained 45deg gas port-nicely connected past and present. What I am missing is slightly thickened barrel,fluted.And when the kids get older they go back to AK47,as most of us affected by this bug,simples...

The AK47 / AKM / AK74 / AK100 series all worked. They did what they were designed to do. Nothing more and nothing less. With no frills.

If one is choosing a rifle for the particular application the Kalashnikov was designed for, the AK platform already does it very well. So, why try to improve on it ?

If you want a precision rifle, a modern modular rifle or whatever, then just get one. Why try to change the AK into something it was never intended to be ?

While I get the "if it isn't broken" thing there is also the argument for why not try and improve on it. Perhaps some shooters would like an AK that will shoot more accurately.

Spot on there Mr B

A lot of people see an AK and assume it is an "AK-47"........not all AKs are created equal as some variants are better put together and more accurate than others and there is a lot of variation in quality between AKs produced by different nations.

There is also a progression in reliability and accuracy from the early 47s to the latest AK-103/105, AK-74M and the AK-12.... all of which are very accurate for the type of rifle they are.

If you try to shoot for tight groups on paper targets with a UK legal AK variant you're either going to be disappointed or accept it for what it is........if you shoot at Fig11 targets on a field-fire range like "F" or "G" ranges at Sennybridge you'll realise what it's all about, mine will drop Fig11s out to 400m with irons and milsurp x39 very easily.

Look I get you love your AK's but the way I see it, if someone can make one that is capable of tight groups at 300 yards then why not. Just because it isn't made in Eastern Europe, doesn't have wood and the metal isn't from an old plough doesn't make it a bad thing. Nobody is calling it an AK47, the old "it isn't the real thing" attitude is a little closed minded IMHO.
