To many choices now I'm dying to build a 100-series AK but now Kusa will have an option as well as arsenal

I think it's great what arsenal is doing I'm just a little Leary why there getting away from the bulgy imports... and only the first custom ones will have machined parts the production guns will all be cast... I know it's just gas block and other little parts but man a machined part is so much better I dont mind paying extra

 

I’m not there yet, have a couple more I wanna build then I’ll look at buying.
74 kit in progress
OTS12 Tiss this is gonna be freakin awesome!
then some frakenAK to clear out parts

 

This is a joke right? They are just fucking with people before announcing a return to their bread and butter... right?

 

Only to prepare us for a 'look what we found in the back corner of the warehouse' announcement. 'Rare 107R's. Only 6 available. Only $1499!'

 

I would like to see the AK-12/15 clone here in US.
I have mixed feelings about that 1913 rail system they have on this AK-20.

 

Will the paint still peel off?

I would be disappointed if it did not.

Free float gas tube seems like good idea.

Me like the gas block adjustable part.

I see this being stupid expensive.

 

Rumor has it around $2k mark.

I think we are way pass stupid AK prices. Sky is the limit now.
Meanwhile ARs can still be found at less than $500 new.
Whatever. I'm not buying anymore, trying hard to do my part by not supporting insane prices.
It reminds me of the .22 scare we went through a few years ago. They became more expensive than gold.


Oh, and that free floating barrel is misleading in my opinion. I just don't see it. If anything is attached to the barrel, which in this case it is, then it becomes a very loose term thrown around for advertising purposes.
The so-called front trunnion extension is attached to the barrel and the 1913 rail attaches to it.
The gas tube does not float in the air and it is not connected to the gas block vie bluetooth connection. Yeah, it's 2020, but we're not there yet.
