Aklys Defense "Velociraptor"

GunnyUSMC · Jun 24, 2018

Last month Austin and I stopped by Aklys Defense. Austin has an interest in AKs so I thought he would like to put his hands on one that not many people have even seen.
The Velociraptor is an integrally suppressed AK. They have 4 prototypes and Austin was able to play with one.

Joe told Austin that they were still working on the shape of the front end.

Austin also got to look at a few other guns like a suppressed 9mm bolt action.

I like his shirt. The AK intrigues me.

Gunny seems like you’re raising a fine young man, but tell him his head is on backwards!

I used to tell the kids on my son’s baseball team that when they wore their caps like Austin. The looks were a lot of fun.

So I guess if he’s catching or shooting he’s ok. Otherwise due for some ribbing!

Less camera shy with awesome weaponry, eh? Good shots, Dad.

I like that nine much better than the Ruger PCC.

Gunny, what make is that 9mm bolt? I've been wanting one for some time now, living here in the PRNY, where any mag fed semi-auto pcc is considered this side of unholy.

When I was about 11 I got a wakeup call. I grew up in a very diverse community and that encompasses many races, many “social classes” and many many walks of life. I showed up to basketball practice with my hat on backwards, as did a few other kids. The speech we got from a gentleman (who didn’t look like any of us, who had 1 leg, and was riding a motorcycle, to be our coach because he apparently liked dealing with jerk kids at that age range) was (in drill instructor tone and cadence) “dammit boy you put that hat on your head right, your daddy works for a living and I do too, we ain’t having that crap on this basketball team. Your here to play ball, not to embarass the ones trying to do something for ya”. I think we lost 1 game that year, and it was an overtime loss in tournament play. Thanks for somehow taking my mind back to Mr Majors.

"Fast food." Haha love it.

Of the two rifles, I a also intrigued by the 9mm bolt gun. Its as if the DeLisle and Spanish Destroyer carbines had a love child.......

It’s a Rock Island Armory TCM.

He wears it to the front but turned s it around when handling firearms.

That’s my t-shirt. Both of my boys keep snagging my shirts. :cuss:

Thank you, Gunny.

Was he in the middle of dry firing? Might have to get on him about trigger discipline...

I'd love to shoot something suppressed some time.

Yes, he was trying out the trigger.

That AK suppressor looks like a Salvo-12 clone, with modular baffles. Does it make the gun front heavy?

H&R Glock · Jun 25, 2018

The extra freight on the muzzle cost about as much or more as the rifle itself. Is it worth it for that caliber? Hmmm, what are they asking for the piece????

It's really not front heavy.

The MSRP is $4285 but if pre ordered you can save a bunch. here is more info on the gun.

Thanks Gunny, but that would eat up at least two of my social security checks.

GunnyUSMC · Jun 25, 2018

I'm not an AK fan. I think they are good guns and have there place in combat. But most of the AKs in the US are made up from used parts. And the good ones made in the US are way over priced. Now is there a need for an Integrally Suppressed AK?

At that price, the need would have to be significant!
Similar situation: I don't need a 12g suppressor but since I got one free of charge, I took it. Otherwise it would have cost around £400.

Look at the first two pics, just to the right behind Austin, there is a suppressed Kel-Tec KSG.

Odd Job · Jun 25, 2018

That looks a lot better than what I have. Mine is an A-TEC A12 suppressor on a Bora BR99.

Mmmmm, interesting. Had never heard of this gun before- I might be on board if RIA offered a factory 9mm quick-change kit like they do with the .22TCM pistols, but for now the rifle is only available in their proprietary caliber, so I'm out.

I emailed them that I'll get my wallet out if they came with a 20" TCM and a 16" 9mm barrel- time will tell.

Gordon · Jun 25, 2018

Very kewl tools on this thread. Thanks all. I like Destroyer type or DeLisle Carbines and that AK seems extra nice. I really like this stuff,

Corpral_Agarn · Jun 25, 2018

WUT in turnation!

That is pretty cool. I hope to see more integrally suppressed firearms as the technology develops and the NFA gets its wad in its undershorts... un-wadded.

I need an Ak in my life.

MachIVshooter · Jun 25, 2018

Man, is that AK fugly! But doing an integral does mitigate the blast from the gas system. Of course, one could just start with an AR that doesn't have that problem to begin with.

I hadn't seen that little Rock Island before. I had considered doing a bolt action 9mm build to eliminate port noise when running suppressed, but will probably go with lever delayed blowback semi auto system. If I can find the time to do another scratch build, that is.

Demi-human · Jun 25, 2018

So, how much was the Mk Nineteen?

Not sure if it’s for sale. They had built a few of them a few years ago for a private, Government funded contract. Or at lest that is what I was told.
