Tell the libs that it's an AKAR that shoots a projectile at the speed of light and will tear BOTH lungs out of anything it hits.

Poland already has the Beryl, an excellent 5.56 variant.

Well, I have an AR-15 in 7.62x39, I might as well have an AK in 5.56!

Probably hoping that JoeBama will sell cheap or give them all the ammo that he wants to confiscate from us, and from the Strategic Ammo Stockpile.

Ballistically, I agree with that.

But these gun store guys keep trying to sell me 7.62 NATO.

Not really. The AK-12 is not well regarded by the AK community. Look up Brandon Herrera and Military Arm Channel’s review of the AK-12. The Serbians (M90) and Bulgarians (SAM5) have been making 5.56mm AKs for years based on the milled AK47 or stamped AK74.

I have a habit of picking up ammo dropped by others.

I like how the buffer spring on the AK is not in ther rear stock like it is on the AR.

That was a very interesting penetration test.

I am very sorry your Bulgeie was lost in an another unfortunate waterway accident.
