New style of AK

Travelling through the city during the week, I saw one of the police Hi-Lux pickups with a back to back bench seat running lengthways down the truck back, and a full load of cops in body armour.

This is nothing unusual, both the police and security companies carry their response teams in this fashion.

What I hadn’t seen before was the black plastic fore end on the AKs. This was a square-ish u section extending well forward towards the gas port on the barrel. From what I can remember, the steel folding stocks were conventional enough.

The guns appeared to be new, in contrast with the battered AKs and Uzis that I normally see being carried by cops (there were two cops with dry, rusty looking Uzis patrolling the road beside the site yesterday). The view out of a car up a rusty bore on an Uzi is not too inspiring, particularly as I don’t know if the bolt is back (cocked)or forward (safe)on the ill maintained old guns.

Apparently cops here get upset if they see photos being taken, so, no photo, sorry.
