A New Challenger has Appeared!

AN94? It a dream come true!

All I can say is they better not use steel receivers that are the same as their real firearms. I got boned in the wallet having legally bought 2 of those Chinese air rifles a year ago from www.replicaairguns.com Turned out, they were real Type 56 and Type 56-B receivers with BB internals in them like the Yunker. RCMP deemed them to be illegal as someone with the money to burn and technological know-how could turn them into real Type 56s.

As long as they permanently alter the receiver or make a receiver that can't house real internals, I don't see anyone having a problem with it.

And c'mon guys REALLY, why WOULDN'T you want an AK AEG/GBB made by the original maker of the AK-47 and many of it's descendants?!!! How friggin cool is that?!!! If you've ever held a real Izhmash AK, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't held one, go Vacay in Ukraine like I did. FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

Wow Izmash is getting desperate. Rumore has it that there having a hard time keeping there heads up financially... Its been heard they maybe going belly-up...

If anything government is going to save them.

Izmash's new AK12 is almost done its design stage (sorry, video in Russian):
AK-12 new Kalashnikov assault rifle (with Eng subtitles) - YouTube

They actually sell more AK's to the US than they do to Russia!
Their civilian market/percentage is about 50%.

They should make an airsoft AK 12 instead, that selector switch looks amazing.

OP said the AK74M goes into mass production sept. of this year. Any updates on that?

now what we need to do now is do a comparison test between the AK74M and the Real Sword Type 56 and try to break the externals

I'm pretty sure AK74M going to be stronger than RS Type 56-1..
RS is strong.. but not that strong :(

I'll never understand why people buy the 56-1, the under fold stock is such shit... uh... I mean in my opinion the under folding stock is not as good as the full stock or the side folding 56-2. :D

If you're going to do a durability test use the 56-2, the stock on that thing is bombproof.

If I bought a 56-1, I'd just take the stock off. I have little faith in "wire" stocks. Granted, most of my long guns are folding stock types, but the design of the thinner types just worries me.

Well, real AK underfolding stock is probably a lot stonger than Realsword's..
Full stock is "too big" and Type 56-2 is plastic..

I had wooden handguards and pistol grip on my 56-2 for a while it looked bad ass.

rumor is that its gonna cost $550 USD.
