New AK
Izhmash has a new weapon that modernizes the AK-74M / AK-100 series by adding rails for optics and other accessories, as well as a few other minor improvements. Pics at the link.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

A tapco’d up AK is new? Is there somthing im missing?

Bobby,
It comes tapco’d up standard. And the dust cover is hinged and can be locked into place.

They should have just gone to a FAL style hinge. Make the dustcover integral to the trunnion, and pull the bolt carrier out the back to clean it.
That locking dust-cover ain’t going to be useful for much more than short range red dots.

Immitation is a sincere form of flattery I suppose. Thanks, Izhmash. That forward rail of yours was my first UltiMAK prototype, so you’re starting to catch up to this Yankee after 60+ years, when I came up with it about a week after touching my first AK. ‘Course we improved mine since the first version, by incoprporating the rail into the gas tube itself, hard-mounting it, and divorcing it from the rear sight block and gas block. Now it seems everyone is an UltiMAK wannabe. Wonder what my lawyers will say…
