Can they please build a factory in Missouri? Pretty please?
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;46977670]Yeah, but now it's a true Kalashnikov.
And SVD/SVDS and SKS. Another cool thing is that they might sell the Bizon here![/QUOTE]
I would be fucking [b]DOWN[/b] for a Bizon.
[QUOTE=twonkletoes;46978195]I would be fucking [b]DOWN[/b] for a Bizon.[/QUOTE]
Bizons are military only.
I'll still be getting a Russian AK red wood.
I live 10 minutes away from Tullytown, PA. This is sort of neat on it's own hahaha
Fuck yeah, this is a god send for whoever wants to either buy rifles outright or home build them. I want to see saiga front trunnions and barrels go up for sale.
Actually, fuck that I want to see every kind of part go up for sale, because then you wouldn't have to worry about 922r compliance seeing as all the parts will be US made now!
Real AK's or AK copies? They must be a subsidiary otherwise it's just a copy.

if you read even just the whole quote in fp, it says:

Define copy. Because if you're going off of where it's made there are very few "real" ak's in the US. It's going to be another AK like everyone else, it's just that they'll probably be actual Russian pattern and not made from Yugo/romainian/Bulgarian/polish patterns or parts.

Yugo's are weird because their trunnions are bulged like RPK's, Romanian's have those weird wood forward handguard grips, but I can't think of anything odd from the Bulgarian or Polish rifles. Bulgaria has licensed the AK pattern and has done little to nothing to change the design, whereas the Polish added their little improvements here and there, like with the Tantal and Beryl AK74 rifles they produce, but I think even Polish AK-47's are much closer to original Russian AK-47's than Yugo or Romanian rifles.
I can't wait to give terrorists a taste of their own medicine.

The article is confusing, it implies they're affiliated but it doesn't sound like they are. By "real" AK's I mean AK's made by Kalashnikov and their subsidiaries, ie: Izmash.
Well, that's pretty neat.
Now this is rather peculiar, because Tullytown sounds a bit like Tula, one of the main AK series manufacturer. Sad that they will not make AK-12, but oh well.
Liberashnikov
it's so bizarre how into gun culture americans are
[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;46978207]Bizons are military only.[/QUOTE]
Nothing stopping someone from copying the design and building some locally. I know someone on /k/ is doing with the AS Val and VSS Vintorez.
This not AK47, no one uses AK47. It is AKM in the picture and all around the world AKM or AK74 is used.
[QUOTE=cucumber;46979116]This not AK47, no one uses AK47. It is AKM in the picture and all around the world AKM or AK74 is used.[/QUOTE]
AFAIK, 47 was pretty much only a prototype and wasn't produced in that big numbers.
Might be wrong, though.
Curious as to why they didn't do this earlier (I.E post soviet collapse), since it would really have given their business a boost.
Why don't they rename their locally made version? Would kind of make sense to distinguish if it's a copy / original piece / re-run etc.
USK-14 or similar?

Nope they made a load of them, but the AKM caught on a bit more than the 47.
[QUOTE=AlexConnor;46977996]Even the Russian Kalashnikov Concern was not a brand until 2013, "real" AK series were and still are manufactured by a variety of Russian companies and this is just one of them renamed for marketing purposes.
'Kalashnikov AK-47' is a bit like saying 'Browning 1911'...
Still, cool that this guy wants to manufacture AKs in the US, don't think that's been done before (outside of rebuilding parts kits).[/QUOTE]
Browning makes 2 1911s under their brand, one in .22, and one in .380. I just wish they made a .45.

it goes both ways really
it's bizarre to a lot of americans that aussies are willing to put up with as much nanny-state stuff as you guys do
[editline]21st January 2015[/editline]
or how brits are willing to put up with the fact that their government has so little faith in them that they need to show ID to buy plastic cutlery and have massive restrictions on shit like air rifles and airsoft guns
Neat! Say what you will about their country of origin, AK47s are damn good rifles. I want to have one.
The USA gets AK's rather than Russias beloved neighbour Poland
I am sad

Or Brits being for unarmed Police.
I guess there's a point that a lot of people often miss, despite it being pretty obvious - different countries, different ways.
