AK 47 question
- Thread starter rockready69

I doubt that you can name another automatic (military) rifle that has same reliability (or at least close) and usability as AK 47. It might look "heavy clunking rifle" and "junk", but no other military rifle in the history came close to it and I don't see that some will come close, IMO.

^^ i think it comes down to how much more simple could the design get? the only thing i could see is get rid of the gas tube like the vz58.

also if you look at a real deal military AK the selector switch go's from safe to full to semi so that in the heat of battle the person operating in a panic slaps it down and only fires in semi auto so there not to waste ammo cant say that for any of the m16 platforms

i dont see why getting rid of the gas tube will help the thing works like it is sometimes change is a bad thing theres reports of people not cleaning they're guns for months and having to kick the action open with they're boot and it still running 100%
I use a 60 year old Type 2 AK-47 at work every day, it has a steel milled receiver, chrome lined barrel and piston group. The trigger is better than my M-4's, the finish is worn off but shoots great. The new AK-12 looks real sweet, better control, ergonomics and updated but the insides are the same reliable designs... I dont know of many rifles that have survived 60 years of service in deplorable conditions like the AK-47.
The only service rifle that lasted as long as the AK was the Lee Enfield - for exactly the same reason, pull the trigger, goes bang, beat a guy on the head then pull the trigger, goes bang, use as an oar then pull the trigger, goes bang etc..

i paid about 6 times less then that for my deact and it was a old #### and click made from a 12.2 (some older guys dont want much for them BTW) a deact is not worth much to me and a ak deact is really not worth the cost of a CZ 858 canadian model

What parts of the ak are prohib? Or all? Lets say I know a guy that knows a guy that found some ak parts in a barn ie mags etc would he be able to keep or sell the parts? Just curious.

the receiver is the prohibited part this is the firearm in the eyes of the gov i dont know if thats just the receiver or the front trunnion too(on milled guns the trunnion's are machined into the receiver but stamped guns they are just rivited in)
