Best of both worlds? Functionality and modular design of an AR15 in the AK caliber that accepts existing magazines. I'm think I really want one!

They aren't the first people to try it. I'd be amazed if CMMG managed to pull off what KAC couldn't.

Same thing I was thinking.

why would they try? I mean 7.62x39 is the perfect round in an ak47, they complement each other so well. 5.56 is the perfect round for the ar15, why would they try to switch it up? Seems lame to me.

You know people never leave anything alone and think they will be the one to reinvent the wheel.

Yeah I watched it and couldn't believe he blamed everything but the gun. I have been a subscriber of his for a while and he usually tries to be nice and not tear things apart like a kid who doesn't want to eat his vegetables but this he acted like he owned the company. I like the AK for being an AK and the AR for being an AR.

Maybe I'm missing it but 300 blackout way better comprise than a half breed that is zero compatible to ether platform other than mags(least of my worries). But to each there own I'm sure some will view it differently than me.

300 blackout is fine if you are rich or want to spend a bunch of time reloading. As an average shooter with many calibers in my collection, I don't see the thrill in looking like a dope fiend for ammo and then paying an arm and a leg for it. Caliber is fine I just haven't won the lotto yet to entertain the thought.

Yea,
Im glad I passed on the 6.8 a few years ago myself.
I like a gun that has ammo to be found at Walmart or local gun shop.

Yep, been done before, not new.

I load sub sonics for the same price as I can load 55gr 223. I look at reloading as a way for me to shoot more. I see the value of 223 and 7.62 but are you really willing to pay1500 for a hybrid and 30c a round for steel case but not 38c a round for 300 blackout and a new upper ($250)

I see your point on factory ammo price at .90c a round is out of the question for me as well

The Logistical nightmare and potential risk of adding a round like the 300BLK to collection of say 12+ Ar15s and 200+ AR Magazines far outweighs any of the strong points that 300BLK brings to the table.

$1500 for a hybrid? You talking about that cmmg gun? That thing is a waste of metal and I didn't even know the price because I was that uninterested. You talk about reloading and I said if you reload which I don't but I can see why YOU would. Factory ammo is what I buy so yeah it is not on my radar.

LAS VEGAS — Israel Weapon Industries will release an updated version of the Galil rifle in the U.S. market this spring, a company official said.

Hagai Katz, a weapons instructor at IWI, demonstrated the new semi-automatic rifle known as the Galil ACE this week at a gun range north of Las Vegas as part of the opening day of SHOT Show.










Based on the original Galil assault rifle developed in the 1960s, the updated version still draws inspiration from the Russian AK-47 and the Finnish Valmet RK 62, but is modernized with a lower receiver made out of a high-strength polymer to reduce weight, a 360-degree Picatinny rail for accessories, ambidextrous safety levers, adjustable buttstock and adjustable iron sights.

“The Galil ACE is actually a modernized Galil assault rifle,” Katz said. “We made it efficient and much more relevant for today’s modern warfare. Today’s modern battlefield includes [close quarter battle]. You need to be faster than the enemy. You need to be more efficient. You need to be accurate. That’s what you have in this rifle.”

The weapon features a 16-inch barrel and accepts any standard AK-47 magazine to shoot 7.62mm X 39mm ammunition — a noticeable trend among new rifles in the U.S. market.

Katz didn’t specify a retail price, but said the Galil ACE would begin shipping in the second quarter of 2015, or beginning around April.

“The Galil ACE is being introduced to the US market in stages. First up in the Spring of 2015 are three variations in 7.62mm x 39mm; a pistol configuration with an 8.3-inch barrel (GAP39), the pistol with 8.3-inch barrel configured with the new IWI side folding Stabilizing Brace (GAP39SB) and a full length rifle with side folding adjustable buttstock and a 16-inch barrel (GAR39). All accept standard AK-47 type magazines.”

“Coming in late summer 2015 will be several variations in 7.62 NATO; a pistol configuration with an 11.8-inch barrel (GAP51), the pistol configured with an 11.8-inch barrel and side folding Stabilizing Brace (GAP51SB) and full length rifles with side folding adjustable buttstock and your choice of 16-inch (GAR1639), 18-inch (GAR1851) or 20-inch barrel (GAR2051). All accept a standard SR-25 type magazine.”

“Look for similar configurations in 5.56 NATO in early 2016. These will accept a standard AR-15/M16/STANAG magazine.”

They "carry" MSR 6.8. Only seen 5 boxes in 2 years though.

30c a round for steel case but not 38c a round for 300 blackout and a new upper ($250)

7.62x39 can be had for low 20s per round, and the "hunting" ammo for 23-26 a round.

I own a 7.62x39 upper currently, just because I want something different than my SKS. If it is more accurate than the SKS and as reliable, the SKS will go.
