Optics don't belong on any battle rifle. There is a good reason for that. Check out tech-sights.com... http://www.tech-sights.com/ for the AK. All of my optics are on bolt action rifles only.
Where did you get that idea?

Weird how the Army, USMC, and even the DCM now disagree with you ... but Justin didn't say he was building a "battle rifle" or going to battle with his rifle, so you can rest easy there.javjacob said:Optics don't belong on any battle rifle
Some of you guys have been watching too many nutnfancy special ops SHTF end of the world zombie apocalypse videos. Optics are for precision shots, battle rifles are not precision rifles. Battle rifles are designed to be 100% reliable in the worst and most brutal environments and optics don't meet that requirement like iron peep sights do. Also most gun battles take place at ranges of 100-300 yards.
Snipers is a whole different conversation but last I checked they weren't using M16's.

shopping around, and wanting to base the rifle around 75-80 grain loads i found a FNH brand 20 inch government profile hammer forged barrel with 5.56 chamber, 1-7 twist and M4 feed ramps... i think thatll do what i want.. beats an RPK LMG barrel

brownellsWhere did you find that barrel for sale btw, I keep thinking my lightweight 16" AR needs a Gov profile 20" buddie. I think you are on the most logical track to accomplish your goals with this build.
Those pics are all red dots... not scopes. Big difference.
Actually most of them are four power ACOG RIFLE SCOPES, not red dots.Those pics are all red dots... not scopes. Big difference.
i prefer the AK as well, but it would be so much work to actually get what i want out of it and at the end of the day i dont think id actually get all i want out of it regardlessJust so we can lighten the mood a bit, just wanted to say my new lady friend prefers the AK, I myself am more of an AR and parrot kinda guy.
