7. The AKX 9 has been designed from the ground up with all new dedicated AKX 9 parts , the only thing that is off the shelf is the receivers , they are not built using cobbled together surplus parts and will be made by a well known Top Tier builder . We appreciate the interest and input !!! I am assuming since you stated that they are using off the shelf AK receivers, that at least the top covers will be standard AKM pattern, but what about the furniture? Just trying to think ahead for optics/accessories. |

Yes it will take normal AK front hand guards thus allowing shooters to easily customize the gun , the dust cover is a standard cover that has been modified for the AKX-9 . The rifles and pistols will have the rail on the left side of the receiver should you want to add a standard AK scope mount.

CarlosC, the firm that designed and is building the AKX-9 is High Quality and low volume firm , They will not be cranking out mass quantity's of the guns it is just not their style. The owner is very hands on so that is good thing because he is involved with the firms day to day production & quality controls .

Sorry if this was said before, but when you mentioned a rifle version - would it have a 16" barrel? Or the same pistol length barrel, but with muzzle device pinned for the 16" length requirement?

I sure hope you guys went with the Arsenal krink styling basically a true krink clone with long barrel etc you will sell a crap ton. If they are full size AK clones in 9mm they will still sell but I don't think near as well. I'd buy at least 2 if they were krinks but probly won't if they are full size guns i just don't see the point..market wants compact sub gun style PCC's i'd rather have a vityaz clone than a 9mm krink. |

The AKX-9 will NOT be a Krink style and will take standard AK furniture and be cosmetically similar to the Vityaz
All of the rifles will have a shorter barrel with a pinned barrel extension ,they will NOT have a 16 inch barrel on the rifle thus allowing customers a easy SBR . |

Well, low output + high demand = high price. It's just plain economics, so brace for sticker shock. On top of that, the builder apparently does high-quality work, and that comes at a price, justifiably. I'm not bagging on Atlantic or its builder, just recognizing facts.

Will the akx9 hold the bolt back after the last round? This would be a great reason to use colt mags.

The manufacturer has been in no rush to throw something on the market and we have deliberately taken our time with the Testing and Evaluation phases of the project. We have not promised a release date or taken pre orders or deposits . Final production rifles and pistols are in the final assembly phase now , the first 4 production models are on their way to our warehouse and we expect them next week. We will begin taking photos and videos at that time . A few other rifles have been sent out to Military Arms Channel and AK Operators Union for review .

MAC released a sneak peek of the front end of the pistol version on his Facebook page. I'm on my iphone so I can't post it. FWIW, I put zero credibility in MAC's reviews since he gave raving accolades to HTA and became a part of their propaganda machine. |

No. As a matter of fact, I've had many conversations with them about their customer service, or lack thereof, and any viewer that contacts me with a problem I personally help them resolve it. |

Uh, MAC is probably one of the most trusted (and classiest) reviewers out there. I'd trust what he says about most weapons 99.999% of the time. |
