Oh since the side rails inception, not the AK's inception. Sorry.

.

The AK platform has a wide variety of optic solutions, many of them are red dot's which as Deussne said (and I agree) is quite useful on the S12 http://zenphotos.net/file/Online/SVD/Optics/1P76-Z-S12_Rakurs_PartizanSummer.JPG The side rail has been an important part of the AK since it's inception and has been standard production on almost all AK's for over 20 years now. Just because we in the US don't know much about the rail or how useful it is doesn't mean it's a good idea that it's gone. Z I'd like to see some evidence that the AK was design

Why? It shows quality and gives you more options. Just take it off if you don't want it. Don't make the rest of us suffer for your opinion (Though in reality the BATFE really couldn't care less what we think). Its like saying you hate the bolt hold open button. Don't like it? Take it out. But it sure adds to the niceness of the Saiga platform. How does it show quality? I bet it gets in the way for most people. Doubt a majority uses it.

I'm happy about it. Hate the side rail.

LOL what is a stage 4 motorcycle? I want one. The old Stage 1 just isnt cutting it anymore.

Yeah download AR mags for easy seating. I keep mine loaded at all times because they're PMAGs, the dust cover pushes them down enough to relieve pressure on the lips.

I have one from Cobra. And its awesome.

Anybody know the length of a converted S12 with standard AK stock?

Yeah I just wanna know about magazines for personal use.

I'm hoping for S12 parts kits with US made barrels.

I'm wondering about the same thing for my trip to Poland.

I'd love to see it. I was thinking of maybe sanding an AGP mag smooth and applying a decal or something. Not the best solution but it might look OK.

Quick mockup of what it would look like. I'd buy a couple. Obviously wouldnt be cost effective but man it would be cool.

Great, now to get whatever papers your sending me so I can pay
