Izhmash has officially unveiled the final production model of the AK-12 Assault Rifle. According to Max Popenker there will be two models, a Light model (5.45x39mm, 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm) that accepts all magazines that work with existing AK rifles, as well as a new 60 round quad stack magazine, and a Heavy (7.62x51mm) model that will use a new magazine.
The rifle's major new features are ...
• Ambidextrous forward charging handle.
• Smaller ejection port.
• New safety switch.
• New fire control switch with three modes of fire (single shot, 3 round burst and full auto).
• New hinged top cover. The cover is a lot more rigid that the previous AK rifles.
• Quad picatinny rails.
• Folding and length adjustable stock.
• Ergonomic pistol grip (with a decent radius between trigger guard and grip).
• New muzzle brake that attaches to standard NATO 22mm threading.
• Improved barrel rifling.

MagPod – the bipod that’s always there when you need it
私たちのブログを訪問していただきありがとうございます。あなたがお持ちの場合DIYの要求は私達に電子メールを送信してください。
The MagPod is a simple, durable replacement floorplate for the PMAG that turns a mag into a stable shooting support. It’s made by the same folks that make the Multitasker. There’s nothing tricky about it, no buttons, no adjustments, just a tweak to the floorplate geometry that squares your rifle up and offers always-on stability that’s a surrogate for a light bipod or a Grippod. It’s made of sturdy glass reinforced nylon and has an overmolded Santoprene insert up front for added grip on slick surfaces. Installation is easy; just pop the floorplate off your PMAG and slide the MagPod on it its place.
How well does it work? I had an opportunity to run hundreds of rounds through a MagPod equipped PMAG over the course of a few weeks. In short, it works. I was surprised that shooting from the mag had no effect on feeding/cycling on either AR used during the evaluation. The first rifle was a Smith & Wesson M&P15 VTAC and the second, a Mega Arms lower with a Daniel Defense 16” upper. Both cycled flawlessly with the MagPod. I was so determined to cause a malf, that I sat on the range dumping rounds ‘till my right thumb was sore from loading and my left hand was sweating from the smoking barrels.
Predictably, my accuracy improved using the MagPod. I was less fatigued and could hold tighter groups than shooting unsupported. I also found shooting with the fulcrum further to the rear made swinging the muzzle from target to target a little faster since smaller movements on the buttstock end move the muzzle end further. This translates into slight speed gains tracking from target to target both horizontally and vertically.
Given the choice, it’s probably a more sound tactic to rest a freefloated handguard on a support so you can get lower behind the gun for better cover. But, if you’re proned out on the deck, a support device is your only option. Sure, shooting from a regular mag works just fine. But, I did realize a few small efficiencies shooting with the MagPod that added up to a bit of an advantage. For starters, it takes slightly less effort to keep the rifle on target when it doesn’t want to tip forward. Then, I realized rifle stays upright during admin movements making it faster to get back on target after going to a pocket or grabbing my hydration tube.
