Tactical style is popular now, and various accessories such as sight, magnifying glass, laser indicator, tactical light and vertical grip are installed on firearms. The author must admit that this trend has an impact on himself and try to install various accessories on his Kalashnikov rifle. After some thinking, the author realized that it was a waste of money. In my opinion, I have found the simplest solution.
If you have a binocular night vision device (NVD), you may need an infrared (IR) laser pointer to aim when wearing the night vision device. But I don't have that much money to buy expensive head-mounted night vision equipment, so the configuration will be simpler. At present, the Magpur "zhukov" kit on the market has done a good job, but because Russian law does not allow private ownership of rifles with folding stock, it is necessary to modify the stock. The modification method is very simple, and a bolt can be completed with a little glue.
No modification, this is just a good modification kit to improve the ergonomic design of Kalashnikov rifle. However, Magpur should not be blamed for this, it should be a problem of Russian law. Excellent gunstock design, adjustable length, hard rubber gunstock bottom plate with anti-slip lines, wood protection can also improve sufficient grip. In addition, various accessories can be installed on the M-LOK universal interface on the side of the wood guard plate, and the original steel-wood airway can be replaced with polymer parts.
It is also equipped with a high-quality polymer magazine from Palm Company of the United States and a small grip in M249 style. This rifle still uses a mechanical sight, but because its shell has a fixed sight frame seat, the author can use the side frame on another rifle to install the Aimpoint red dot sight for it at any time.
AK-74SU is a short rifle on the Russian civilian market. It should be noted that the serial number of the butt stock is different from that of the military version AKS-74U because it cannot be folded. Many gun fans like this small short rifle very much and have modified it into countless cool shapes. I installed Zenith's first generation modification kit for it. Although it is very old, the special shape makes it difficult for me to give up and I don't want to change it to a newer style. The lower part of the base of the red dot sight is hollow, so you can still shoot with a mechanical sight.
Although this AK-74SU is equipped with a silencer, it is empty inside, just like a product, which is also because of Russian laws. This short rifle with silencer has now become the standard weapon of Russian law enforcement agencies. In addition to Dzenit's modified kit, the author also installed a hand grip for it. Although the workmanship and feel are excellent, they can't stand the test of rough use.
There is also a Romanian rifle, a model bought purely for appearance. Perhaps because of its special grip and excellent manufacturing technology, it is an important collection of the author.
The modification of this rifle is very simple. By removing the original wooden stock and installing a converter, it can be equipped with a cool Polish stock. In order to be more beautiful, an umbrella rope is wound on the steel wire stock. In order to make it a little exotic, it uses a small grip made in America, which looks like an elite paratrooper using an assault rifle.
This is probably the least modified rifle. Except for the small grip and airway, all parts are original products.
If you don't want to buy fancy things, just like the author, buy a small grip of galil rifle, which not only looks cool, but also feels great when used. As for the airway, a picatinny track is added at the top to facilitate the installation of various scenic spots. This may be the cheapest way to equip Kalashnikov rifles with sights.
Generally speaking, 85% people will modify their Kalashnikov rifles and install various sights and gun lights, which will make them more beautiful.
In fact, if there is anything we don't like that needs to be changed, it is the small gun handle, the gun butt and the wooden hand guard. Many people don't like small grips, but most people are prepared to accept the original stock and wood protection, and choose to install more expensive sights.
The modified rifle is a big toy with personal style, which will only come in handy in rare cases. Many people may say that Magpul modified kit will be an ideal choice, and it does have a good effect, but it will not bring you significant advantages compared with the new original accessories in Izhevsk. Especially the new primitive stocks, completely changed all this.
