That's not the exact rifle, it's just the closest picture I could find of a Waffen Werks AK offered by the place I ordered from. Mine has the optics mount and a darker finish.

I was wondering if you got a Waffen, from the pic it didn't seem like it was. I enjoy mine. I added an Ergo pistol grip, wanted a rubber one and Hogue was the only other choice. It's much better than than plastic Tapco.

The Ergo grip looks pretty sweet. I don't know if I am going to change the grip on mine yet.

why is anti-tactical the new cool? get a aimpoint micro on a rs mount, looks good and adds serious capability. The "keep that crap off my ak/1911" people always give me a chuckle Dark ages are over, just dont become a gear queer who adds TOO MUCH CRAP. See them tearn a nice light carbine into something the size and weight of a 249.

and SW, tell us how it is ive heard good tings from sturmgewhre/mac who i follow on youtube
I like the us palm, seems kinda like a tango down, other than that id get a tapco saw grip, i hate finger grooves and hate the standard ak paintbrush grip

I don't care for tacking all kinds of bells and whistles on guns. The only reason I even bought a foregrip for my AR is that I figured that if I'm going to have rails on a firearm, I might as well get a little use out of them.

Even though the '74 has an optics rail, I seriously doubt that I will ever do anything with it. I don't even think that I need optics on anything other than my hunting rifle, due to the fact that I have glasses now and can actually see iron sights well enough to shoot accurately.

I think everyone should know how to shoot irons but if i ever had to fight id want a red dot. Too many advantages, better accuracy, better finding the target, better situational awareness, less facial fatigue, etc.

I've never used a red dot sight, so I don't really have an opinion on the subject. They seem pretty handy, though


I suppose that if I were to get a red dot sight, ACOG, etc, it'd have to be for the AR. I have to use that top rail for something, you know?

[k9870]

i want a aimpoint and a accutact anglesight when i get an ar15

[S&Wshooter]

Damn, I could buy a whole other gun for what it costs to get a quality holographic sight. Maybe two.

[k9870]

if you build sigmas maybe, most holosights are around 500 bucks what 2 guns you building? I rember one place had t1 micros on sale for 465 once, wish i saw that more.
