dowork1021 64 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) That will probably be one of the most reliable ARs ever haha Edited October 21, 2011 by foreign firearm fiend 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nlacy 692 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I'll keep buying my AKs from Russia and my ARs from the US. Don't want to upset the natural order of the universe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XXasdf 29 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I'd buy one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snoofer 138 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Wonder what a U.S. sporter version would look like... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Wonder what a U.S. sporter version would look like... Could be wrong but I'd imagine something like the non-pistol grip kommifornia style AR-15. ...where the grip is incorporated into a fixed A2 stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dowork1021 64 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Or it might have a "MAADI style" thumbhole stock. That would be interesting IMO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I guess the Russians meant it, that if we started to make their shit, that they would make our shit... I say GOOD!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigtwin 219 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 That would be very interesting to see. Although that platform is old, it has been very functional and served very well. I was hoping to see something revolutionary(from both sides)! Not that the current firearms are bad by any means. They have lasted so long and been successful for so long.

6500rpm 670 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 With so many good US AR manufacturers these days it would be hard for me to give a rats ass. The link is interesting though MT Predator and the first I've heard of it so thanks for posting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Is this by any chance their replacement for the AK? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beefcakeb99 572 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 it likely isnt for our market. , 922r issues, importability issues, and the cost are a major problem with logistics. It is more likely that it is for eastern europe and russian market projected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 It looks photo shopped to me, when the picture is expanded the pixelation is different on the logos. But even still I doubt they are tooling up for production of AR-15s for military use. Its probably for export to those countries the US won't sell to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Molot making AR's? WTF? Someone just divided by zero. I agree with beef. With the extra costs tacked on from importation, it's going to be hard to compete with the already numerous affordable stateside companies making AR's now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 If they can legally send us quality lower receivers, they don't need to compete on entire rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 If they can legally send us quality lower receivers, they don't need to compete on entire rifles. I guess. But when we have $50-$70 stripped lowers here.......how much cheaper can an imported lower be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 It doesn't appear shopped so much to me as it looks like a standard AR that I could put together at home. I see what look like an Ergo Grip, a UTG non-FF quad rail, and a Miculek compensator. There might be some hidden, game-changing technology hidden somewhere beyond the content of that brief blog posting, but color me underwhelmed at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sergii 142 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 This model is intended for the domestic civilian market in Russia. It is only semi-automatic mode. At the initial stage will be assembled from components of Waffen Schumacher (trademark Schmeisser). The barrel and muzzle brake installed production Molot. In future localization of production. In the above link says that it weighs 7kg, this is wrong, it weighs 3.2 kg. Will not be exported.

SOPMOD 254 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Considering Izhmash has it's own CHF hammer/mandrel barrel machines for 5.56 It would become the first AR with a Cold Hammer Forged barrel to sell below the $1000 price point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't think about that... BCM and Daniel Defense both offer uppers with CHF barrels. Buy a complete upper, and slap it on a lower you put together yourself, and it will also be under $1K. Anyway.........where did it say the price of these Molot AR's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
