    Sorry Sean,
    The purist in me says that the AK should stay the way Mikhail made it, rough, roughed and full of power, nothing dressed up and fancy. Even the ones that are wearing your Grandpappy's old fake paneling. You want fancy get a AR. I bet the old man is flipping over in his grave saying WTF!!!!

    I don't think it will replace the original, just thought version 2 might be something neat to play with. I love my AK like it is. Just thought it was "news".

    I'm not trying to jack the thread, I just wonder why they waited till the OG is in his grave before the decided to "fancy it Up". It is "news" for the Black rifle dress up my AK with unnecessary, unneeded, useless crapp types.....

    Don't think you were jacking it at all. I report, you guys decide.

    I know the "new" version is a bit Star Wars-ish. Markting. They would sell the hell out of them here if a civilian version is offered.:target:

    Gonna have to go with rsekerka on this one... AKs are meant to be rough, a weapon from the era of wood and steel.

    That's about how dressed up I like them to be. Granted that's a '74, but still :nod:

    Lame. And if "The company is also branching out into fashion, launching a line of branded survival gear", $10 says the quality of their rifle goes down a bit..

    Russians are finding out capitalism works. You know they'll keep churning out regular AKS and so will about a hundred shops all over the world.

    Look at it this way: There was a Cold War. We won.
