One of my daughter's high school classmates is a gun manufacturer and makes what are claimed to be highly accurate semi-auto only replicas of the Iraqi Tabuk AK-47s including a sniper version !

All are special order only (50% down) and can take as long as six months before delivery !

They supplied around 10 (I believe) for a movie made about the Iraq war.

Tom,

First impressions are often damaging. That is the case here. It looks a lot like an AR-15/M-16 so states with stupid laws make it a problem.

This piece is hardly ugly (except to gun haters). It is 5.56, but it is a tack driver. We used the AR action in the design because when it is fit
properly (nothing like the version sold to military) it is as stable as the best of bolt action 30s. We wanted to go the .308, but we detected some
loss of rigidity in the chamber area due to the larger case. The ammunition is also special as it will stay over Mach by just a little at a 100m
target.

One of the real problems comes that when you make it as tight as this, it can mark the slug (big bozo no-no) when the round is fed to the chamber.
The magazines have UHMW guide blocks to prevent this. They are not inexpensive and with our current financial state, I could not afford to have my
free-lance gunsmith either shorten them to 5 round or make others that were only that size.

You probably know what a gold cup is.... Think of these are iridium cup, we blew right on by platinum cup during the first iteration.

Unless you are a true firearms aficionado you would not understand most of what these pieces are. Unfortunately, these days they are proving to be
more true than I seem to be.
