I tried the AK again, but I just can't like it.

Thanks Templar! I already have an M16A1 FS, but that 103 brake looks like it might feel better. Do those '74 style brakes do anything at all to reduce flash?

Unfotunately, no they don't.

You might also want to try the brakes from AK Concepts/Primary Weapon Systems....they are extremely effective.

Tim,

Have you heard anything from the PMC guy (the one I kept calling Val Kilmer)? I remembered that you gave him that brake/comp thing to try out in the desert.

I can understand your frustration but an AK class with Larry Vickers or Pat Rogers may well change your opinion on running the gun.

I would have to agree with Thekatar. Try taking an AK specific class from a trainer you trust. It certianly changed my opinion on the AK.

There are also a few products that make the AK easier to run:

- SWIFT safety lever- Makes all the difference in the world.
- Ultimak (For now) but something else is in the works - this gives you the advantage of a modern red dot optic that co-witnesses.
- Blue Force Gear / Vickers Tactical two-point sling - Makes life a lot easier.

Nope, I haven't. I hope he's using it in good health.

The AK is a solid platform as long as you accept that it is not an M4. The SWIFT lever, a modern 2 pt sling and a little file work to open up the rear sight notch make a huge difference. Unfortunately, the SWIFT lever is out of production. Hopefully someone will pick up the design as it is great and makes the safety as fast as an M4's.

Are you talking about the Krebs hinged top cover rail, or yet another option? If the latter, what can you spill?

Nope, somethng different, and I think better, but no spillin' da beans just yet.

Templar's 100% correct as usual.

This is 100% new. Trust me, you will like it.

Give me a month or two and I will tell you everything.

I know but I ain't tellin.

Suffice to say, it sounds pretty darn good.
