Nice. Appreciate the steer. Need it to dial in that Wolverine, dial for ammo, etc. I'm spoiled from using a FAL. :)
But I'm (it seems somewhat) like you: lots of investment in multiple platforms. I always hated the AK as a piece of shit Commie gun. Ammo shortage caused me to buy one. I realized I was wrong with that original opinion right away. Now I think I have four (maybe five). Lol. Went with the PSAs with the FN barrels, and the Zastavas.
P.S. As for your comments about 7.62x39, I really think it is an inspired design. Borrowed in spirit from the Germans in WWII, but perfected by the Soviets/Warsaw crowd. It's really an impressive cartridge, especially for the price.
The Definitive Arms has a lock-detent with numbered click settings for easy repeatability and is very solid. Worth the price over the cheaper ones with a continuous dial IMO. They’re coming out with other “cups”, the dials that go into the unit, so people can have even finer tuning custom to their gun.
I was a serious AR/glock guy and bought a POS WASR for a beater gun on the cheap to round out my collection years back. Even the bottom-tier WASR converted me once I began tinkering with it and really training AK doctrine. As someone who knows how the US military fights, I truly find the Russian style of fighting to be superior. If ya can’t AK them, rocket them and move on hahahah.
Btw, numbered click is right up my street. It's my favorite feature of the FN FAL.
Essential for a war gat.
0 = Carlos Hathcock sniper mode, or grenade mode.
1-4 = Suppressor
5-10 = No Suppressor.
:)
Btw, I am highly interested in these.
Riflespeed Gas Control for AR.
I think I need to buy one of those to check it out.
Yes the RPG is a key part of how they fight.
Punch punch punch with the AKs
Roundhouse kick withe RPG
Disappear.
It fucking works so good too. It still works against us even when we know thats what they do. Shit give some rednecks on dirt bikes with tree saddles an AK and rpgs and we can stop anyone.
I think anyone who has fought learns this. The longer the fight is "group of guys over here vs group of guys over there", the chance that Team 2 might end up on the receiving end of an airstrike from Team 1, or someone will call up the artillery, etc. rises. Need to keep moving. "If you aren't moving and shooting and reloading, you're dead."
Also, the scenario I called up in the prior paragraph is really the power of the RPG: it's man-portable artillery that is just powerful enough to cause some serious damage (and a ton of chaos), can be brought into the fight in seconds not minutes, and is bonehead stupid (no electronics) so it cannot be defeated by whizbang "countermeasures" etc.. It requires no "paint the target and wait" sort of stuff. Guy runs up. Points it. Pulls the trigger. Runs away. BOOM.
Anyone who ever fought the Huns/Mongols knows about this sort of old school lightning warfare. Our concept of "lightning warfare" is more like "well we'll send 52 M1A1s against them, with Apaches and cover from a C130 gunship and a satellite from space". OK yeah that's gonna leave a mark. But requires a ton of planning, expense, coordination, etc. This "3 AKs + 1 RPG fire group plan" requires $500 for the ordnance plus the will to win and for Johnny to spot a target that needs a frag.
Speaking of "If you aren't moving....", the Mongols were also famous for "retreating" in a way that would entice you to follow them, whereupon you would run around a corner and find your dumb ass in the middle of a killbox. Would not surprise me to find that the Ruskies do that as well, given their history with the Mongols.
