The Best AK 47 Accessories You Should Acquire

By Maryellen Lamb


Since nineteen forty seven, the AK-47 has been heralded as the most dependable rifles in the world and this has seen its tremendous growth over the years. It has a very basic and simple design that makes it one of the easiest rifles around to upgrade whichever way you want. Like other rifles in its class, plenty of AK 47 accessories are available that you can use to achieve maximum efficiency.

The trigger is probably the best place to start since in its original state the slap can be rather painful even when making single shot as the bolt carrier slaps the hook. This can easily lead to a serious loss of accuracy no matter how much effort you had taken into making the shot count. Replacement kits are available to make it easier for you to correct this issue quickly and expeditiously and ensure you do not have to endure the pain anymore.

The stock is traditionally made out of wood making the firearm harder to manipulate and handle especially if you have won body armor. A collapsible stock is available that will make the process easier and more palatable as it lessens the length of the weapon considerably. It also affords you the capability of a stronger grip upon your weapon as you fire.

The fore stock has always been made of beautifully laminated wood, which is great for absorbing the heat generated in the course of fire. However, the brass pins that put it together absorb all that heat and direct it onto your palms making for one very uncomfortable situation. To correct this scenario consider acquiring a hand guard that will ensure that you still have a tight grip and not burn your hands during a rapid fire situation.

The scope is another important accessory that you should consider installing on your firearm if you expect to make better shots. However, it should be noted there are different designs and types available and all of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Some scopes work best during the night as they allow night vision and others allow the shooter to quickly acquire the target especially when under duress.

A rifle without ammunition is like a car without wheels but you are in luck since the AK-47 is versatile enough to accept a wide range of ammo types. Some of the factors you have to take into consideration include the price, terminal performance, and corrosive properties of each and select one that you are comfortable with. You should also consider the length of time the ammunition is likely to last in storage as well the position of disclosure.

Muzzle devices are what makes for better discrete shots and joined to the firearm's barrel end. The flash suppressors do exactly as their name suggests the make sure that any ammo that has a copper jacket does not emit a flash upon fire. The breaks use the air that escapes from a barrel to generate a reverse thrust reducing the kick tremendously for better steady shots.

AK-47 has had a long adventurous life so much so that many countries are awed by the power contained in the machine and have tried to adapt it to their own needs and environments. AK 47 accessories help you to bring out the beast in the machine no matter the origination country ensuring you are never disappointed in its performance. Consult with the local leading gun shop for these and more options that are accessible to you.
