TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 This has been in the works for a couple of years now. Bob Ash and Joe both saw the failed #1 prototype, but this baby looks like it's going to work. It sports a heavy .910" diameter Pac-Nor Stainless Super Match Bull barrel, which is completely free floating. The gas system is a two piece affair with the gas tube assembly is affixed to the receiver with floating "puck" type gas piston. The hand guards are also affixed to the receiver and completely free floating. The barrel is 19 inches long and threaded 3/4-24 with a custom Tromix front sight and flash hider. I will be shooting it shortly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loki0629 55 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I was wondering when this was coming out. I've been waiting to see what was in the works since Tony hinted at this a few months back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 A quality heavy barrel on a well built milled receiver AK will certainly change some minds about AK accuracy. Wonderful achievement! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
