RELEASED: DDI U.S. AK47s @ Atlantic Firearms -

You know it is a good sign for business when customers are banging at your door to buy your products. As a quick update to our August story on DDI’s U.S. made AK47 rifles, Atlantic Firearms is teasing the first batch due in any day. Although purists may balk at the non-traditional gas block and...

Dang, that was fast. A couple things I'm questioning though...the article was about the 47's, not the 74's. And the pictured rifles had regular birdcage flash hiders. Mine is obviously threaded but also has a spring loaded detent that must be depressed in order to unlock the muzzle device.

Don't know if any of these things mean anything, just clarifying.

Here's another thing to consider.

Ever see any subsonic 5.45x39 ammo?

*almost all* AK variants are 14x1 LH and (sorry about this) suppress poorly compared to AR's because of the gas tube

One of many discussions on that

Thread concentricity as well. I'd go a step up in caliber for combloc AK's just to be safe.

Ive only seen thread concentricity problems on Romanian , Egyptian and AK Builder barrels. Just run a 9mm silencer and you'll be fine.

I think AK's suppress just fine. Use a Lantac Dragon AK brake ( the one with the ASR threads. "Dragon" NOT the "Dracon". ) . They release them in small batches and dont really advertise them. You have to call. I use relatively tight form 1 cans with AK's and even the 223 AK's suppress extremely well.
