Went to the range today and it pushed my C39V2 over the 1k mark so I thought I give a little check-up review of the rifle thus far.

Had some solid 1.5 MOA 3 shot groups today with Tula 122 FMJ. Just as usual I had zero issues with feeding, loading, firing, or ejecting. The rifle has never had a single failure of any type. The factory RAK-1 trigger is really arrived into its own now. It is super light (~3lbs) and has a short distinctive reset. It is and has always been a joy to shoot.

I did a field strip clean when I got home and the parts all look pristine, save some finish wear. Note from the pictures that I use an early milled telescopic recoil guide rod with the factory supplied Wolf Xtra Power recoil spring. This doesn't indicate any problem with the factory "coat hanger" guide, its just a preference of mine.

Finally for the cleaned up appearance. This rifle is still as impressive to look at as the day I first opened the box. I have never seen another AK of any manufacture that looks as well finished as this one. The nitride finish on the receiver and barrel have a satin level sheen and it is simply awesome looking still.



Beautiful Day!



Tula 122FMJ @ 100 yrds



Field Strip



Carrier shows no deformation



Bolt has slight finish wear



No abnormal wear to be found



Bore looks new...



AKs aren't suppose to look this purty!



The Colt M4 also showed out on this sunny day! XM193 @ 100 yrds

3 and 5 shot groups are not representative of accuracy

How about 20-30 shot groups?

It is if you hit what you aim at.

I have one on layaway and I may be buying one with the Zhukov furniture to keep it company.

have never handled one, but they certainly seem like they're miles ahead of the first version, and a pretty nice rifle overall... quality barrel, and the modified milled receiver allowing standard AKM furniture is a good call.

Sweet!

I have had similar results with mine so far. Currently only about 400 rounds through the gun.

I think it is a handsome rifle for sure.

The only reason I haven’t bought one yet, no rail. But it does seem to be a good weapon from what others have been saying. Thanks for the review.
