neat, but might as well be vaporware.
In other news North Korea has this awesome product that we never see also.... Sorry, it's cool but with the political climate, kinda falls in the so what category. |

Sorry, it's cool but with the political climate, kinda falls in the so what category. View Quote The helical AK-74 magazine?! Pretty neat approach to securing the cover at least. I can’t imagine there’s a huge demand for mall-ninja AKSUs in military service though. The 105 is just better all around without being that much bigger. The sad thing is even when the mess overseas ends, the sanctions on Russian ammo/guns/parts will conveniently never end. They never miss an opportunity to leave permanent gun control in place. |

I will say this, that AKSU looks sick as all get out though.

Just stop with the "quietly released" thing. It is overdone. Just stop. No one thinks it is clever.

That's Sal's thing, his trademark. I actually get a laugh every time I see one of his posts that include the "quietly" part. However, I do respect your opinion. |

I don’t post a whole lot these days, but there are a few really functional pieces coming to our market and this design (while not one of them) is interesting. Even if we don’t see it, cloners will probably duplicate it eventually.
As for the “quietly” bit: I’ve just gotten use to it. Apologies for the offense. |

Releasing something "quietly" implies the company is not that bright. A company is in business to make money. You make money by customers knowing what you have and buying it.
Besides being overdone, "quietly" is not that clever from a marketing standpoint. Just stop. |

View Quote Maybe the release seems quiet over here because they know they can't sell it to us. Why would they waste advertising dollars showing off something to somebody who can't buy it? |

Companies often have "soft openings" or "soft launches" to gauge consumer interest, gather data and feedback, etc., before the general launch. They also do this to generate referral marketing. "Not that bright" companies that have dome this include Apple, PayPal, and Uber. |

Anyway, I heard that there is a video that apparently shows the lockup mechanism for this one. I’ll post it when I find it. As for finding this one, or getting it into the country: I can’t offer anyone any advice. Use your head though, and NEVER send money overseas that you can’t afford to lose. Lots of horror stories about people buying through fly-by-night outfits on Instagram and getting burned.. |

@HawkinsID If you want to be angry about a title of a post, go to the AK files and release your frustration there. A lot of other AK guys will thump back n forth with you on semantics that can go on for months. It may be your thing
As for the B33 dustcover for the krink. It's really cool. But lately I've found myself tired of the Zenitco craze mainly for the weight it brings to my AK. A nice side mount rail and red dot does the trick for me without having to remove the rear sight for a TWS dust cover as an alternative. |

View Quote I tend to agree, I just don’t personally see the point of installing a heavy chassis system for the limited utility it provides me outside of just using the side rail and a simple light mount. Of course if you’re using IR devices and such that’s another story. Also, if you just think it’s cool then that’s justification enough since we all like to dress up our rifles. |
