It is true, all ak-47s are not made alike.
And why are ALL American-built AKs trash? Unless you’re running a $2600 Rifle Dynamics or similar custom job like Definitive Arms, our barrels are junk, our rivets are never right, we still cast high-pressure parts that explode with normal use and all that fun stuff. Of yeah, and their sights fall off. You don’t see ANY of that in ANY other AK manufacturing country anywhere. Ours are THAT bad.
If someone is interested in a AK-47 pattern rifle, need to check out the VZ-58 sold by Czech-point. They are made by CZ and IMO absolutely the best variant of the pattern. Only drawback though, is that the VZ-58 magazine is not AK-47 compatible and vice-versa.
