Jpanzer 1,265 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Hero of the Soviet Union Vladimir Putin inspects the Kalashnikov assembly line: I'm digging that all green model too! Also transparent mags appear to be all the rage now: I would buy the semi auto import in seconds flat....! Edited September 21, 2013 by Jpanzer 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I would buy it in a flash as well. I acutally have one of my CC at the ready for such an event to unfold. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Me too Capt. Couldn't really justify it, but couldn't pass it up either! Would much rather own one than that goofy ass looking Tavor that was all the rage a few months back.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uzitiger 193 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I see the Russkies have decided to do away with the Combloc side rail for the M-1913 rail and are using an aperture back up iron sights besides the scope. They also are using a foregrip. They have learned from the US armed forces and AK accessory makers in the US and adapted them to the AK platform. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you watch a lot of the Russian combat footage from recent conflicts in Georgia, a lot of Russian SF type units were already decked out with Magpul buttstocks on folding AR buffer tube adapters, EOTechs on the side rail, Magpul AFGs, and so on. The introduction of a burst mode, and safety-to-semi operation, suggests that the rifle is designed with a more marksmanship-oriented Russian military in mind., versus the massed-assaults of yore Soviet years, that the AK was originally designed for. The latest production samples of the AK-12 look really awesome, and I'm with the rest of you.. If it comes to the US market, I'm gonna practically throw my wallet at whoever can sell me one first. I'm still waiting to see the model in 7.62 NATO that the early press releases referenced.. Hope it didn't get canceled. Edited September 22, 2013 by mancat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yugopap4me 29 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 What's that big button looking thing by the mag well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yugo, wish I knew. To me it looks like a mounting point for some sort of swiveling single-point sling. There's one on each side. Looks like it's riveted through to the lower front trunnion rivet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pjj342 632 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Its nice to see a president taking a positive interest in the firearms production of his country. Ours wouldnt even make it to the factory floor without his head spinning around, vomiting pea soup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 This AK 12 looks good to me, and better than the previous version which had two level of rail up top. The straight stock makes it more controllable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Lol, is it just me or does every single guy in that picture with Putin look very afraid? They should all have "thought bubbles", saying things like "poison?", "Siberia?", "Died in my sleep.", "Cut brake lines." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
