Military Tuesday : Modern AKs

The classic image of an ungainly looking AK rifle furnished with a wooden handguard and stock is probably the first thing that comes to mind when AKs are mentioned in the media. Maybe the following photos and links to manufacturers of AKs and mounting systems will change your mind on this venerable weapon of war. © TDI Arms TDI Arms’ X47 Picatinny rail system makes it possible for AK47 users to fit as many accessories to their rifle as their AR-15 counterparts. The X47 is distributed in the US by Command Arms Accesories whose 2007 catalog was where I first read about the X47.
