I'm not sure if the 90 degree gas block has any benefit over the 45 degreee in 7.62, I heard they switched to 90 degree cause it would be cheaper to manufacture one gas block for both rifles.

Very true. In 5.45mm, the 45* block was sometimes stripping jacket materical off the bullet causing a loss in accuracy, that's one reason they went with the 90* block. Also, drilling down into the barrel at a 90* angle usually caused them to miss the lands and come in on the grooves. |

Does anyone know if the AKs being used by the ING with the 45 degree gas block and synthetic furniture have the trap door in the butt stock for the cleaning kit? Getting my SA93 re-done to look just like that but I couldn't tell by any of the photos what the rear of the butt stock looked like. Also, what do the bayonets that are being issued for these rifles, if any, look like? I hope to have pics up of the finished product in the next week or so....

Here's some from my tour in Iraq...
These were what we issued to the Sadr City IPs...  Training the IPs...  Oops...that one is East German...  Then I got this guy who couldn't hit the paper and told me his brand new Bulgarian AK was broken, I took it and aimed at an unused target and cracked off a few rounds...  And here I am with my fat faced shit eating grin..  |

Whats a type III AK-47? Also is there any way to get one of those underfolding milled 5.56 aks here in the states? The Colombian guys seemed to have a lot of them.

Was the Iraqi military not provided with marksmanship training prior to the US invasion?

Seconded. That thing looks like it would be really uncomfortable. Not to mention too small to protect all it should... |

I noticed that none of the Bulgy milled ING rifles had a slant brake. Has it now become passe, or was someone just too cheap to pay the extra $0.50 each for them? Anyone know if the barrels are threaded under the muzzle nut?

Iraqi National Guard. Look at those milled AK's!
 Same photo, but uncropped:  I don't know much about this one, other than it was supposedly taken in Iraq. It looks a lot like an SA M7 Classic, doesn't it? Sorry the pic is so crappy.  The same photo twice. The top photo is the original; the second photo is what I lightened in Photoshop to show that it is, indeed, a Bulgarian AK.   |

(bottom 7.62 AR) Looks like those wacky 'raqi Armorers left the lower stock screw 3/4 way out and forgot to close down the retaining lever.
But hey..... it should take a lot more than that to stop one of these from going bang-bang-bang.
