You could at least take a picture of the cover

Just think about it, the whole AK lifestyle from building to target practice to collecting, right next to hunting and fishing and sport bikes. It could happen

this was my baby I pushed my company into making happen!
Hell...I haven't even seen the finished product yet!!

It has a number of articles written by people never published before, so not the same ol same ol.

Includes feed back from combat vets of Iraq and Afghanistan, historical stuff, users info and a lot more.

Lot of hard work went into that issue, we did the whole thing in about 30 days flat........

If it sells well it will become an annual.....

feed back, both good and bad is welcome as long as it's constructive.......

I had no idea about this initially, but when I was at the supermarket in the magazine isle and had to get it. lol

I was just wondering about the AN-94. It's hard to believe that thing has been kicking around for 15 years now. Should be an interesting article.

I've always got my eyes peeled looking for it when I am in Russia, but I've yet to spy one. We were in Moscow last summer and I saw a lot of pretty high-tech looking weapons, but no Nikonov. I try to keep abreast of these things, but a lot of the stuff I saw, I couldn't identify at all. Not surprisingly, most of them seem to incorporate some Kalashnikov elements though.

Anyway, got to run down to the supermarket...

You can't subscribe, it's what we call a Special Interest Publication

I did the same at Hastings and Wal Mart, but had no luck. I'll have to keep looking too.

ETA- Tried Borders yesterday and couldn't find it there either. I'll try Barnes and Noble sometime today hopefully.

I picked one up last night, and you did a good job gunwriter, it is well above average from normal Guns & Ammo fare. It is selling like hot cakes around here and I had a hard time finding a copy in Green Bay WI. So I'm quite sure there will be another issue...there is alot in the AK world to cover yet, such as the Galil...and the interesting history of Valmet AK's...heres another idea;what kind of quality exists in the "Kyber Pass" indigineous manufactured AK's from Pakistan? A test fire by someone in Afghanistan might be interesting. What does the Finnish Defense Force think of their newly aquired Chinese AK's? Plus there are other "classic" articles from G&A from years past that were pretty good...some of those also might be resurrected. How many AK-type semi-autos have been sold to the public since the election? I am also a published writer, mainly an out door writer, and from a pure "literary" point of view...it is also above average for a gun rag.

Its not going to replace the AK, infact the AN94 has been in the Russian military since the mid 90s, and the AK74 is still the standard issue rifle. I believe its only being used by special units such as spetznaz and their KBG(its still the KGB even if the name has changed)

Nothing will replace the AK. atleast not anytime soon.

Great publication David!!  Thanks for helping to make this happen. I snagged the last copy at my local Hastings last night.
Only typo I've noticed is the two pictures, each with three AKs, on pages 29 and 30 were swapped.  The text with the pic on
page 29 belongs with the pic on page 30 and vice versa.  Great mag with lots of eyecandy!!  Once again, thanks!!
