If you could change anything on the AK's design what would it be?

 

[larryp]

Galil handguard, straight line buttstock like the STG-2000, handfilling grip, better sights, quality flashhider.

If you could change anything on the AK's design what would it be?

i would hinge the top cover like the krinks and add sighting system like an ar15
also add ar15 type mag system and last shot bolt hold open
(not with mag follower)
hell maybe i will get a daewoo, alas no replacement parts

 

[PaperCut1775]

Selector lever and mag release!

 

[egs89]

i would hinge the top cover like the krinks

+1

 

[TabulaRasa]

Bolt hold open like the PSL has.

 

[hey_hi_its_me_vlad]

a mag release like the G3... both paddle and button... and then one of those left handed charging handle top covers on a 74 with poly and a railed gas tube...

the 74 muzzle brake is just heaven to shoot, the round damn accurate and lethal, and the mags fit most pouches and are durable...

just one of those top covers that don't change nothing permanent would be really handy...

 

[Horse]

Better Irons (radius) and better mounts for western optics.

Nothing else.

 

[stackscustominc]

short stroke gas system
left hand charging with right hand eject
optics rail on right side of reciver
thumb selector
iron peepsights that are windage and elevation adjustable
on 223's ar15 magwell adapter
hinged top cover
fixed bayonet like on some chinese ak's
74 sidefolder

 

[10Gauge]

moar rails and cowbell.

 

[priler]

bring the prices back down.

 

[hey_hi_its_me_vlad]

scratch what i said, i'll go with what he said....

 

[sniper48]

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have AK's with frickin' laser beams attached to their barrels!

 

[skyugo]

bring the prices back down.

that would get me interested again. they're approaching AR price territory right now, and ammo costs too much.

 

[dirtyrice]

No bolt hold open is for a reason. Ak's were designed without it just like l1a1's for a reason, to keep debris like sand or dirt or whatever from blowing into the ejection port and mucking things up.

I think the hinged top cover like on the krinks would be a good idea. One less thing to do during re/disassembly. I shoot with peep sights mainly because I shoot my fal more than anything. But I prefer the ak type sights for distance shooting. A longer sight radius would be a very good thing for an ak though. Throw in some night sights for good measure. Opening up the notch in the rear sight wouldn't be a bad idea. Alot better for dusk or sunrise type light settings though night sights would probably take care of that.

 

[TRX]

Start with a Valmet M76 (stamped).

Go with the Yugo trunnion and thicker receiver.

Add the Galil or Tantal thumb safety.

Use the SVD adjustable gas system.

Put the charging handle on the gas tube like the INSAS.

Beef up the cartridge a bit.


Actually, that pretty much describes one of my AK projects-in-progress...

 

[azgunner]

I'll go with hinged top cover also, other than that though, nah. Like it for what it is.

 

[stackscustominc]

all of what i said earlier plus beef up the cartridge a bit to something like the czech 7.62X45
