I thought I'd start a new thread.
Since we will probably Now see a resurgence in AK interest, especially since the Magpul involvement and the ALG trigger option correct some of what a lot of us dislike about the AK, but also taking into account more legal restrictions in the last couple of years, what's the state of the AK market?
Specifically, I'm curious about three things...
1) what's the 6920 of the AK world? In other words, least expensive option that maintains the most basic of quality standards, reliability, and longevity.
2) what's the KAC SR15 (or, pick your high-dollar boutique gun)? In other words, the top of the line, has some innovative features, etc. But also maintains the base quality and reliability that matter.
3) besides Magpul, what's the accessory market doing? Ultimak still the way to go for optic mount? Still putting an Aimpoint Micro on it, or going with one of the screen-type mini optics (like the Leupokd delta point). Options to make the AK work with the new hotness of the 1.x-Y optics? Options for v,sue optics that match the (hopefully still accurate) perception of the AK as value forearm?
