    Which Atlantic AK pistol are you gonna get???

    If I get one I thought first it would be the 47 cause I could tacticool it up with Zenitco furniture.... but now Im really liking how the Krink looks by itself and without a SBR its closest we can get to a real one. I would just gear up an actual rifle but I wana do 7.62 and 5.45 rifles...... but maybe id just get one of these 7.62s and gear up a 5.45 since its a little more accurate at a distance.... and just carry the pistol for the boars and bears when out and about on the ranch...

    What you gettin and why? Gona mod it or keep it stock?

        The AK Pistol is a fun item to get... because you can....

        You will see a lot of them for sale as people realize that the platform has some limitations......

        So if you have not shot one, I would suggest that before you purchase... The same is true of any firearm...


        The concussion from the short barrel is surprising to many... as are the ergonomics of any AK mag lock
        Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

        Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

        Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

        Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

            Already have enough AR and AK pistols that I either bought or built before 2015.

                Best advise of the thread.

                I might also add that firing any of the AK "pistol" type weapons from within a vehicle is an exercise requiring very good hearing and eye protection. Not to mention that the fired cases do lots of damage themselves to the interior of the vehicle as well.
                Most will find that the use of a proper fitting sling as a means of support will greatly enhance accuracy, from nearly all shooting positions except prone. A red-dot reflex sight helps as well, but the Arsenal that I work out with has decent enough iron sights. From the position of "low ready", hits on an 8" steel disc can be made in 1.5 seconds, singles, at twenty-five yards. Not too bad, but it took some practice using the aforementioned sling.
                Magazine changes work better using a "tool" affixed to the floor plate of the fresh magazine, depending on the type of button. This also takes some practice, as the ergonomics of bullet buttons can be difficult.
                As a ranch gun for use in our Jeeps, I have found that a compact bolt or lever action carbine works much better. But don't let that stop you from buying one, as politicians would rather you not have one. That right there is good enough reason for me.

                    Well, you never know how things in society could turn out. I think it's value will only go up, and if nothing ever happens you likely will be able to sell it for a good profit.
                    If events go far south, I suspect that many of these AK "pistols" would end up with rifle stocks and no buttons. Speculation, of course.

                            California AK mag lock is reason enough for me to stick to full sized featureless AKs. But these look like a fun range toy.
