The IDAZ-AK 103 rifle  is built from newly manufactured military-spec parts produced in Azerbaijan by IGLIM Defense. Designed to true AK-103 specifications, it represents the evolution of the classic AKM platform into the modern AK 100 Series.

To complete the rifle for the U.S. market, Atlantic Arms MFG paired the IGLIM Defense parts kit with a premium Childers Guns receiver and a FIME 922E two-stage fire control group. The result is a well-built  AK-103 that combines military-grade components with quality American components  for shooters who want a dependable and refined modern AK platform.

So is this a 1.2mm receiver? Who made the barrel?

Thanks,

I would really like to see a side by side comparison of these parts vs Russian. If anybody has or gets both please take the time.

I only have a gas block and FSB I got for a Saiga conversion, and they seem okay. However I did salvage the front sight post and fs cylinder out of the cut saiga fsb as the Iglim one is all sorts of funky. The bigger hard to mess up parts are fine so far as I can tell, but the small detailed stuff is a little "primitive".

I didn't get a pic of the Russian post before I installed it but here is another angle of the Iglim post that shows the angle better, also note the relief cut that looks like it was done with a bandsaw and safety squints, while the Russian post had a clean machined cut.

I got the FSB and gas block for free after a friend saw how catty wampus the front sight post was so I can't complain too much.
