Yes I think you have described the weapon accurately.
Makes no difference though. He would have bought th weapon on the black market. He had a plan.
Was it an actual AK-47, or the de milled semi version - like the AKM?
Of course, the pictured rifle may not be the one used but the one planted before the picture was “leaked” by the FBI Evidence Destruction and Coverup Teams. Sure looks very undamaged after being hit with a pound of C4 and a firefight.
Additionally, watching the news broadcasts of the FBI teams recovering an “arsenal of weapons” from the shooters house appeared to be a couple of brown bags. If there had been an arsenal 15 - 25 weapons and 50,000 to 100,000 rounds of ammo, I’m sure that they would have been prominently displaced for the public’s awe.
The whole single “lone wolf” shooter stinks of a gov’t false flag act.
The blood on the grip and forearm don’t look fake to me.
The pictures of his body show that his body was still mostly intact. I suspect they detonated the charge at some distance from him.
There is a portion of a barrel and forestock to the right of the Saiga AK-74. Anyone know what that might be?
Saiga’s are the real deal, ‘civilianized’ carbines manufactured by the Russian Kalashnikov company, formerly Izhmash, that made the AKs.
SKS is the predecessor of the AK
In my opinion a better quality firearm than the AK
SKS that has been in storage and or not cleaned in a while the firing pin may stick in the extended position, so before you load it at the Range just pull the bolt, give it a couple o shakes a touch of oil and all is well.
If you decide to forgo the above and the firing pin is stuck yeah when you let the bolt go it will fire and continue until the mag is empty (as will any semi with the same condition)
The shooter had some AK variant not an SKS ... SKS has a milled receiver the picture of the purps weapon was a stamped receiver
At this point I would have to start asking who said it was an SKS in the first place.
I corrected it, thanks. CBS is on the SKS bandwagon, more knowledgeable sources are saying Saiga AK-74.
CBS News seems to be running with that ID. You know, MSM “experts”.
Thank you for the corrections to my info, as you can tell I’m not a gun expert. I’m just posting what I see in the news and online.
It’s semiauto.
Of course, the pictured rifle may not be the one used but the one planted before the picture was “leaked” by the FBI Evidence Destruction and Coverup Teams.

Cover-ups and false flag ops need motive.
There’s no real motive to swap out one military-style rifle for another one. If anything, the swap-out would have been to exchange an AK for an AR-15 so the Feds could push legislation to ban that particular weapon, since it’s so infamous now. As a matter of fact, some ignoramus witness was yelling “HE GOT A AR-15 AND HE WAS SHOOTIN’ IT ALL OVER THE PLACE” during the incident.
As far as the explosion goes, here’s the picture of Micah X. Johnson’s body after the explosive robot attack. It’s pretty graphic, but I’ve seen a lot worse. GRAPHIC PICTURE WARNING:
Photo, not so bad,
Good Psycho killer is a
dead Psycho Killer!
Amen.
My only qualm is the damage done to the building.
It would have been less damaging to use a robot with a gun.

The only problems are the expense and the inaccuracy in targeting, especially when the perp has a bulletproof vest.
The cheap splodeybot was the way to go.
Cheap SlodeyBot,,,
I looked it up,
IIRC,
IT COST 200 Grand,
there abouts.
What price success,
Weird. The shootybot is $230,000.
According to the source below, the robot used in Dallas was a MARCbot:

According to Wikipedia, the MARCbot costs around $19,000. A little under 10% of the shootybot (TALON). Cheap cheap cheap.
