Does anyone have a Dublin AK system? What do y'all think about it?

 

[Stogies]

Never heard of it but would you have a link?

Have a link sir:
AK Ratchet Charging

I have heard some very promising things about their 2nd Generations RCS.

The side charging handle looks great. The safety doesn't strike me as being very safe.
Does anyone have a line on a last round bolt hold open? That with a left hand charging handle would be **** on an AK.

 

[Bonehead]

if it was a good idea Kalashnikov would have built it like that.

 

[Stogies]

Hm, a non recip charging hanlde IS nice!

 

[Spooled]

looks more ergonomic than the normal, but if it aint broke dont fix it!

If stamping was such a good idea wouldn't Kalashnikov have designed it like that first?

Stamping was a good idea, stamped receivers and other parts, made for cheaper/faster production and made it a little lighter... But, it did not make it a better rifle.

there is a difference between "good" and "good enough".

 

[BabsControl]

there is a difference between "good" and "good enough".

I'll agree there

Uhu... +1

Stamped receiver AKs work just fine, as they say the milled receivers main advantage is supposed a bit less flexing making the gun possibly a tad more accurate.
