Kalashnikov AK-12 Unveiled | The Firearm Blog

No wood on this AK.

I'd buy it. And then I would replace the stock and forgrip area with wood.

Not bad. Contrary to the comments, I don't think it looks ugly just functional. I know it will never cross the border here (*sigh*) but any idea on MSRP?

this guys face says it all:

I agree, it's pretty ugly, but it sounds like a good design. still prefer my VZ though, unless this new AK also uses a striker fired action with a short stroke independent piston

Ya, the VZ with nice furniture is a bit better, though I like the choice of other calibers.

ApoC_101 · 02-02-2012, 03:09 PM

yea the caliber modularity is probably one of the most important things for an assault rifle platform nowadays, for a large military force. gives the special forces some nice options using the standard rifle, and means the designated marksmen can use the same rifle with a few different parts. I'm happy with one caliber myself, unless someone makes a .44 mag conversion for the VZ

God thats ugly. Ive always thought AK's looked good with wood. Im curious to see the quad stack magazine as well.

In Mother Russia, AK-12 look better than ACR 6.8.

Cowboy · 02-02-2012, 03:51 PM
