Russians are dumping the AK-47, switching to . . .

[paperboy]

Would that get them down to 250 or even better mosin price?

This is what I'm talking about!!!!

Perhaps they'll increase their civilian output as a result.

We can only hope that they will ask to get out of the '96 VRA.

There is an enormous market in the USA and Russia could flood it.

Has any info on the replacement come out?

I hear it's the Hi-Point carbine...

Its most likely going to be the AK-200. Its basically a 5.45x39 AK that can be easily converted to 7.62x39 of 5.56x45. It also has ergonomic adjustments like an adjustable stock and picatinny rails for scopes and lights, and it also has an incredible quad stacked 60 round magazine.

Here is a website that explains all about it.

maybe, but that rifle doesn't have hyper burst or that new fangled suppressor that works by converting the gas into a dog whistle like sound.

Ahhh he is rich as hell now. Doesnt matter

he ever got a dime for his design they where Communist at the time

People were worried that Iz would stop making the S12? Lol, not likely, especially now.

Be prepared for a flood of #$00 Russian AK's, heck you can get a Saiga right now for just over four bills . Arsenal will be buried in them. Nice, I wanted a cheap SGL!

 

[indyk]

yup this is the one

Ak-200 This is the replacement from what I have been reading, I tend to download alot of Russian AK footage on the Internet and this is the one that's getting all the attention to be the replacement, I think we will still be seeing Ak's in traditional platform in both calibers for many more years. I also heard that Izzy will be focusing on commercial/export sales of thier "hunting versions" of AK rifles

Kalashnikov probably makes more off of his vodka sales these days.... I have yet to run across any in IN....
I would love to have parts kits. Barrels in them would obviously be better, but I'd still take the barrel-less kits too!

There aren't any distributors in Indiana unfortunately. I was out around Washington DC about a year and a half ago and found a place that carried it. I brought a few bottles home for me and a couple of friends who wanted some. Have yet to try it. Im just not much of a vodka guy.

Mmmmm vodka!!!

Uhh... how's that work, given that an AK's barrel is pressed and pinned into the trunnion? Not to mention the magwell dimensions being significantly different.

I'm not a big vodka guy either! I'd just like to buy the biggest gaudy bottle of vodka and set it on my gun safe! I have busch light for drinking....

The Russian army says it is halting orders of the infamous Kalashnikov assault rifle until a newer model is developed. Apparently the Russian army already has too many AKs stockpiled.

A new model is expected to be ready by the end of the year.

Imagine what would happen if we were allowed to import these extra AK's....PROFIT!

 

[Mosinowner]

Anyone in for repealing the hughes ammendment like I had suggested in a ealier thread?

 

[indykid]

probably not.

Problems:

1) they are machine guns, only way to import would be as parts kits, ie cut up.
2) the barrels have to be cut up to.
3) in order to be imported they will have to sit somewhere for 5 years so they aren't "russian".
4) people go nuts-o-crazy for rusky AK parts kits, unless they really do flood the market, the prices will be Saiga territory.

The only problem is that we live in a country where the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. As such cutting them up is unnecessary. With ATF illegally selling firearms to other countries, it really would be nice if we the people got our rights restored, and ATF members who violated our constitutional rights got a lesson in the supreme law of the land.
