Jan 12, 2012 · AR15,.223/5.56, 14.5" barrel, 1 in 7 twist. 55 grain bulk pack Federal. I zeroed it at 50 yards. It is approx 1" high at 100 yards and approx 1" low at 200 yards.

Jan 30, 2013 · The 5.56 chicom AK's took their own magazine. My friend has one and the last time I found mags for that rifle they were in the 65 dollar range. The Galil is a full size rifle, no doubt about it. For its 9 lbs of heft, you could carry a M1A, HK-93 or FN-FNAL. There are no deals out there right now. Good luck with your purchase.

Dec 18, 2008 · I chose 5.56 in an AK platform over 5.45 primarily because of availability but also for commonality with friends who mostly operate ARs and the wider assortment of ammo choices. However, 55g FMJ .223 rounds are not very impressive to me on wood and metal targets.

Feb 1, 2010 · I think the AK is often considered the best by many because of its reliability, simplicity and hight capacity firepower. An AK can be buried in a muddy swamp, survive a dust storm, and run over by a truck, and it will still work. Anyone can maintain it, strip it, reassemble it, or use it.

Oct 16, 2020 · Look into Beez combat systems. I have a multicam AK chest rig that holds 4 mags with built in slots and bunjies to hold them in place with MOLLE on the front for other pouches. I think I paid less than $100 for it. Made in USA to order and there’s like a dozen or more colors/camos to pick from and can also add/subtract the amount of mags you ...

Dec 12, 2008 · The glaring disadvantage of this rifle is the bad internals, unreliable magazines (unless they are Weiger), and some replacement parts may cannot be obtained and must be fashioned from AK-74 parts. Some of the earlier models of this rifle do not make a good first AK. They are now NO LONGER imported, replaced by a sister gun in the WASR series."
