Its a personal opinion, not a theory or fact. Its just my opinion that AK's look better in their original form. No need to get all upset about it, lol. Geez, people are so sensitive. And thanks for the history lesson on AK's. You taught me exactly nothing I didnt already know.Wood is just what they were originally made with. Russia stopped using wood back in the early 80's. They switched to polymer because it made the rifle lighter and the polymer could withstand a harsher climate while being impervious to moisture. The Russians also started manufacturing receivers with sight rails so their soldiers could use optics on their AK's.
By that theory, no weapon system should be improved upon. AR-15's shouldn't have flat top upper receivers, free float rails or adjustable stocks.
Since for some reason you feel I need your approval on how I setup MY guns. MY AR's are outfitted with bells and whistles within reason. Is that ok with you?
