  1. It is difficult to express succinctly how profoundly stupid that charging handle is in conjunction with that rail location.

    • Oleg Volk says:

      It didn’t actually interfere at all.

    • Linoge says:

      The rail is radiused and does not catch your hand when you grab the handle.

      Likewise, the handle did not interfere with any optic mounted on it, and it is not like you are going to be putting a megascope on something like this.

      Perhaps some experience with the firearm before you mouth off would keep you from looking the idiot in the future?

      • Cute.

        The Galil-style charging handle is intended to be used via the nondominant hand, over the receiver. For this, it is quite functional, at the cost of being much more difficult to use expeditiously with the dominant hand, than a conventional AK charging handle.

        The optics rail does not extend very much further than the stroke of the charging handle, meaning that if optics are to be mounted, overhand charging cannot be used. Thus, dominant hand or underhand charging must be used (or else the shotgun greatly tilted axially), for which the Galil type handle makes little sense.

        Further, this is evidently a Krebs gun, meaning that it most likely came from a custom shop with all the options it has now. Hence, stupid.

          Wrong.

          … And wrong.

          With assumptions being your only bread and butter, it is tremendously difficult to take you anywhere near seriously.

    Что за приклад на сайге? Нет ли ссылки на производителя?

    What kind of stock on Saiga? Are there any links to the manufacturer?

    See, Oleg did smile after shooting it!

    … though it was a bit forced ;).

    Also, I can now officially say that a picture I took has been featured on his site! With his hardware, but still…

    To me this looks like some seriously tweaked Galil, rather than anything from the AK family 🙂
    The back sights location, the bolt handle facing up…
    Sorry for a stupid question, but are you sure it’s a Saiga? 😉
