#2 AK-12 looks interesting - picatinny rails over under and sides (including foregrip), controlled recoil, modern adjustable and foldable stock, improved accuracy (tho with an AK, thats a pretty low bar to begin with). It dresses up with nearly as many gadgets as an M-4

News says that the civilian make comes in .223 Rem (basically 5.56 NATO) as well as 5.45x39. I wonder if they'll make an export model in 7.62x39 - maybe even a civilian version (whidh would sell in the US pretty well)?

Interesting footnote - An experimental self lubricating nano-composite coating is also being tested on the AK-12 rifle... Talk about making it even more neglect-proof!

#5 Good artical bad, thanks.

The Public Endangerment Ad requires a log in, but from what bits and pieces I am aware of, there is so much going wrong it is hard to begin. But yeah, the idea stream is snitching.

#6 My idea of a Yuletide conversation starter. All weapons are from a different manufacturer for the period and at least 70 years old except the Harrington & Richardson and International Harvester Garands.

Happy New Year
