Highly interested in your range report if you get it. Where/how would you hang a light off it? I just saw the pistol version (no brace) with wood hand guard for $499. Could be interesting.
The version I’m looking at (OP) has MagPul furniture with M-Lok.
Ahhhhhhh, cool!

Hah! Totally. Seriously though, this one is right up your alley. I have a hard time hanging on to guns that I don't deem "utilitarian" (read: hunting guns), but I think you would enjoy this one a lot. You do a lot more session shoots than most.
Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.
Is the breech locked in any way? Does it retain the AK's rotary bolt, or have they gone straight blowback? The blowback Ruger carbine surprised a lot of us with the amount of recoil that makes it to the shoulder - hopefully, this thing does better.
Kinda like how the M14, G3, and FAL struggle to remain contemporary, the AK with it's lack of a decent optic mounting system and short-radius open sights tends to keep it in the 1950's. True, it ain't a match rifle, but the pony lacks tricks.
I am guessing no bolt hold open at all, much less locking on empty mag.That's a automatic fail for me on any weapon.

Price jump is probably because guns and ammo are flying off the shelf. Misplaced the shell limiter for my shotgun and figured i would purchase one instead of making one and being a millimeter too short or something. Anyways people were lined up to go into the gun shop. Drove to another and found the same thing
New Ruger???

I keep looking at the CMMG Banshee. One of the reasons is the radial delay system and how its supposed to get rid of a lot of the recoil impulse due to the straight blow back systems in most pistol caliber guns like these. My TNW ASR has an odd recoil feel to it and the one 9mm AR pistol with a brace I shot had the same odd feeling recoil. Just not sure I could really justify the cost of a CMMG though.

The price jumped $200 overnight. Ain’t worth that much to me.
