Anybody work with any of these?
Maybe Eric Holder can buy all the surplus and once again team up with ATF for Operation Faster and more Furiouser and sell them to Mexican Drug Cartels so they can justify an assault rifle ban since their first try failed.

BTW they still have warehouses stock full of 74's.
Izhmash has officially unveiled the first working prototype of the AK-12 Assault Rifle. According to Max Popenker there will be two models, a Light model (5.45x39mm, 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm) that accepts all magazines that work with existing AK rifles, as well as a new 60 round quad stack magazine, and a Heavy (7.62x51mm) model that will use a new magazine.

New muzzle brake that attaches to standard NATO 22mm threading.
Improved barrel rifling.

Of interest - it is a nice looking gun - the hand grip looks pretty good. Barrel is a tad long looking, but I suppose it wouldn't take much to fix that.
Return to Guns, Knives, Gear, Tech and ....STUFF!!!
