Its wedge block interface allows easy installation and requires no adapters. It allows use of side-mounted optics and firing from folded position without cheek risers installed. It's a right-side folder for stamped rifles with adjustable length of pull, optional cheek risers and an integrated quick-detach socket on the hinge. The Zhukov-S folding stock ($99.95) gives the AK platform an entirely new buttstock, engineered for the unique ergonomics of the world's most reliable rifle.
Magpul's polymer prowess might single-handedly make this the year of the AK in the U.S. The triggers are expected to ship in late spring 2015. The shocker was the price only $49 from ALG Defense for the base model $75 for a nickel boron-enhanced variant. The trigger was too light using the stock AK trigger spring, with reps from ALG and Geissele acknowledging work that must be done to bring the pull weight of the first stage up without affecting the clean break. It felt like a sub-3-pound pull weight, with a feel comparable to the break of the Geissele Super 3-Gun trigger (which costs $250). During our test, it felt like a two-stage trigger with an extremely light first stage and crisp second-stage break. Being the sister company of Geiselle Automatics, maker of perhaps the finest AR combat triggers in the world, our expectations were high.
Check out all of our SHOT Show 2015 coverage on the blog at .ĪLG Defense had prototype AK triggers on the line at range day. With help from GearScout contributors Matt Stagliano, Jason Marcella, Shawn Bickford, Kel Whelan and Roy Lin, we walked the 13 acres of product displays to find the goods that will get the blood flowing to your trigger finger. Thermal imagers have never been smaller or more affordable. New materials are hitting the market as Hodge Defense pioneers the use of aluminum-lithium in small-arms components, and Leupold is offering new concepts in optics. The AK platform got a great deal of attention this year, as did precision rifles with Magpul, Mega Arms and others jumping in with brand-new stocks and chassis systems. This year, manufacturers said they've adjusted production levels, tweaked their product lines and concentrated on innovation to attract attention in a market that now needs to pivot from drawing first-time gun owners to bringing back repeat customers. In all, the end of 2014 was a great time to get a good deal on an AR. This glut of firearms, combined with ammunition prices ever so slowly retreating from record highs, led to manufacturer rebates and plenty of inventory sitting on retailers' shelves. While you might think the second-highest attendance ever would translate into a strong year for firearm sales, 2014 set the record but saw the industry (and particularly rifle manufacturers) overproduce based on the 2013's panic-fueled, post-Sandy Hook demand.
