Interesting! I wounder if it would be offered in other AK variance such as the RPK or PSL. Also I wounder how reliable this would be under extrema heats because the tolerances would become tighter under a lot of fire.

Under $2,000?  How far under $2,000?  I'd have felt they were closer to it's value if they had said under a $1,000.

You can get a quality AK for $600 or under.  How much is the break apart feature worth?

Dumb asses, they went that far but fell short of a quick change barrel RPK??????

U.S. Palm = Dumb asses. I can't wait for someone to patent bust them by adding a quick change gas piston to that.

To be honest I am not that exited. I simply don't need it. But some one whe plans on bugging out and has caches of mags and ammo, It might be something to consider.

They're making the AK something it wasn't designed for. Maybe I'm just a purest, but I'd want my AK kept as an AK, and maybe I'm totally wrong. Perhaps it's the best thing since the invention of black powder. But from my first look, seems silly. Get a folding stock if you wanna shorten it up.

Look at it from a city mans point of view. He will be bugging out, Firearms could be confiscated. He has hidden caches in the woods, and has a group of people bugging out to the same location. In that situation a break down ak would be perfect.

You have a point, but you could fit a full sized AK in a PVC pipe cache.

But like I said, you do have a point. Easier to fit one in a pack too I'd guess.

I'm not talking about caching, this gun, but rather having it in a pack.

So, you'd rather store your primary in your backpack.....while people are confiscating guns?


Forgive me, I could be wrong but if my shit is getting confiscated there will be a firefight.

Am I the only one that believes if I'm going to die, I'd rather do it standing up?

Thats cool but if I see a bunch of military guys pulling people with guns to the side, Then yes.

I'm with you. But what I meant by having a rifle in a backpack is if you're hiking somewhere and you don't want to get the death stare by anyone you might pass by.

Reaver mate, you know I'll be right along side ya, either with a rifle, or with bites taken out of me as you're eating my flesh for food lol.

If you want to hike with a rifle and not get the eye then you need to work on your field craft.

US Palm found a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Worse than that they took an AK which is made of standardized parts and made the two most important components mated. Oh and did you notice that where it breaks down is like the highest stress point on the whole damned rifle?

They will just have to put a few thousand rounds through it before I would buy it. Its funny though, how somebody who shoots all day every day like Travis Haley is backing this......maybe he knows something we don't......or maybe he just wants a bigger wallet. I dunno?
