AK's are more popular than ever before in this country, I see that as a good thing. The basic design is solid and there's a lot more you can get out of the action than is encountered in most commonly available AK's. More and more AK parts are being manufactured domestically. It seems inevitable that barring some future ban eventually a revolution will occur in the AK market the same way it occurred in the AR market. That platform has evolved rather profoundly from the original M-16's. I can foresee a lot of potential improvements and variations... a "flat top" AK that replaces the standard rear sight block with a weaver rail block instead... rifles built with lightweight titanium or aluminum receivers... accurized rifles... new calibers and even multi-caliber rifles. Some private builders and gunsmiths are already doing some of these things. Has anybody heard any rumors of any manufacturers picking up the ball and running with it? You'd think a company like Arsenal would be well positioned to usher in the new era of the AK.
