    I have the 762x39, shoots very smooth and has run 100%. I'm not concerned with it being overgassed, I have no intention of running it suppressed. Very little recoil compared to my other AK's, probably due to its weight. There are things I dont like. The buttstock is a tad ugly, but works fine. The standard forearm is lacking, but companies like RS Regulate and others are making upgrades. Its not the most user friendly if your left handed.

    One thing I hated was the plastic magwell on the 7.62x39 version, it had a false lip the mag would want to lock into, and looked silly. Mag changes were much easier when this is removed, it just has no place on a rock-n-lock mag gun.

    Otherwise, it is extremely well made and solved all of my ergonomic gripes with the AK. Hope they stick around for awhile. A 5.45 version would be awesome....

    I have a 5.56x45 pistol. It’s way overgassed. I recently bought a 7.62x39 rifle. It’s not overgassed at all. If you do get one that’s overgassed, it’s super easy to install a KNS adjustable gas piston to resolve the problem.

    I would like to get some more feedback on the 7.62 Nato model, that looks like a hand full of badness.
    Is the rifle pictured a x39mm, seems to have a curved magazine ?

    From this side of the pond the stories which I have heard about the ACE is not good. Or is it because the one's we get here comes from South America?

    There is some upgrade options available on the originals.
