The Bastard has been born.....

I saw this on the front cover of a gun magazine… The AR and The AK had a one night balling session.

Face palm worthy?

Seriously…? Come on…:suicide:

I know right! I got the magazine down at my local bass pro and was just like WTF! $1500 for a BM-AK/M4-thingy…seriously WTF! Leave M4’s M4’s and AK’s AK’s. If you need more knock down, there are so many good M4 calibers that perform equally or better to the 7,62x39. I just don’t get it. I just don’t understand why anybody would want this…$1500 will buy a very nice AK such as Arsenal…or a very nice DDM4

WHY WHY WHY

That would go great with a slide fire stock, and would sit in the safe right next to my Mossberg 500 Chainsaw.

KAC had something like this a few years back, but it looks like it never went anywhere.

I wonder if it is more accurate than the “run of the mill” AK ? It seems to me that accuracy is one of the AKs weak points, if this is “twice” as accurate, I’d be tempted. Has anyone ever fired one of the MGI "Interchangeable Magazine AR " ? http://www.mgi-military.com/index.php?id=27&sub_id=22 Not cheap… but AK 47 , AK 74, 10mm, .45 , .9mm, and AR out of one AR lower sounds interesting.

If you already have a gang box full of 7.62x39 and mags to match, the concept seems ok. The price and the vendor might not.

Base model is just under $1100.00 shipped,

I would say once the early demand cools off that the base model will settle down to a $900.00 or less price tag.

Let’s see what reviewers discover when they actually shoot it.

Mag release inside the trigger guard? Rails on the stock’s bottom slope? :confused:

AK’s are plenty accurate.
People don’t know how to zero them.
I hit 2/3 IPSC steel at 300 yards with irons easily.
I’m not really that great of a shot.

Amen…my AK shoots very nice, as accurate as my AR to 150yrds…and lets be honest…you are not going to use ANY rifle sub 100yrds to defend yourself…heck sub 50 yards in reality

What really gives AK’s a bad name is the cheapo chinese and romanian crap

Chinese AK’s are some of the better ones out there.
Perhaps you mean some of the stuff put out by Century.

Some more of rra’s “waaay better than milspec” engineering. I wonder if nutnfancy was involved with the design. :smiley:

It looks pretty cool to me. Kinda expensive but that might be a sterotype ideal. It’d be a good hog gun.

The SR-47 made sense in a lot of ways. If you look at the development and what was accomplished with that design it’s very interesting. Aside from the ability to take AK mags and shoot 7.62x39, there’s very little similarity between the SR-47 and this.

I would give a left testicle to have an SR-47. I would not take the RRA if you paid me anything less than 5 figures with the decimal all the way to the right.

Umm…wasn’t April 1st about 2 months ago? :rolleyes:

Double tap

Is this DI or Piston?

I’m paying $1100 for a gun made by one of the least desireable AR15 manufacturers. Besides put the magazine release in a funky place, what does this do that a $1100 AK does not?

When there’s the Midwest Industries rails, mounts, grips, and AR stock adapters on the market, I don’t see any real advantages to this gun at this price.

Exactly my thoughts. And theres also the thought that if KAC couldnt make anything of their model, the fact that rra is behind this one does not give me much confidence.
