    Can a Russian citizen own a Makarov?

    Interesting the new calibres... 10 x 28mm?

    And seeming lack of known calibre 9 x 21mm...

    Some very interesting new weapons there, but nothing too radical as far as I can see.

    Still waiting for the multi calibre weapons... a 12 gauge/.22LR/.22WMR/7.62 x 39/.223 weapon would be very handy IMHO.

    Being able to sell 200,000 guns per year in the Canadian and US market should boost numbers of Russian weapons available there.

    Even the most Russophobic Neo-Con can appreciate a Kalashnikov rifle which are ironically the biggest consumers of their products in North America; my only problem is that designers were too conservative for too long and was late to the party on the ergonomics front, and that third party's took up the responsibility.

    The designers had bullpup and balanced recoil designs decades ago, it was the military that was being conservative...

    The AK12 should be a rifle that does not require custom parts except pic attachment parts like scopes and lights etc.

    What really needs to be done is make it legal to own a firearm in Russia without needing to be a member of a hunting club or security company and allow owning automatic weapons as long as you have a government permit. This would increase gun selling profits, reduce petty violence, increase the interest in sport shooting and guns in general for Russians meaning better home guard and more accurate conscripts, hell some americans might even view Russia in a more positive light and move there. Also life would be more fun there(at least for me attack ).

    Theres all to win and nothing to lose.

    That would be my dream

    They need to change their laws on self defence... AFAIK they are similar to British laws like the ones here in NZ where minimum force must be used otherwise you risk prosecution.

    Ambidextrous cocking handle... and push through safety bar above the centre of the trigger area.

    The control in the top picture directly between the safety and the cocking handle looks like a bolt release for a bolt hold open device...

    I am very much liking the look of this weapon.

    However to be legal in New Zealand the folding stock and pistol grip would need to be changed to a thumb hole stock and the muzzle brake could not be a flash hider too.

    The latter is easy to fix... just fit it with a suppressor...  Twisted Evil and a thumbhole stock and it would be NZ legal... and I want one.

    Having a balanced recoil mechanism it should be nice and smooth to fire while the piston assembly should maintain decent reliability.

    Actually I will take 2... one in .223 and one in 7.62 x 51mm... I'll trade my SLR for it... Smile

    Or do I wait for a multi calibre rifle in 223, 308, 7.62 x 39, 5.45 x 39, and 7.62 x 54, with 12 gauge and .22lr and .22WMR add ons...

    I guess I will just have to go for anything I can get.  Twisted Evil

    Garry,

    You should go for the Tigr rifle which is basically the SVD.
    It is available in your country and it is legal.

    These are the rifles I am looking at at the moment:

    Civilian Firearms Market  - Page 4 Www_gu10

    As a .223 calibre rifle for rabbits at long range... I already have a suppressor to fit it.

    And this in 308 winchester:

    Civilian Firearms Market  - Page 4 Www_gu12

    The latter is made at the Molot factory with the RPK as its basis with a strengthened receiver for the larger calibre.

    The main problem is the latter is a military style semi automatic because its magazine holds 10 rounds instead of 7.  Rolling Eyes

    Is there any pro-gun attitude cropping up in Russia or the or is the European "legal guns cause violence" still universal? Its a shame that all these nice pieces tula and izhmazh make are inaccessible for the ordinary Russian citizen. dunno

    What the F are you talking about?
    All of these guns that are exported to USA, Europe or NewZealand are available for sale to Russian citizens who have firearms/hunting licenses.

    But you can't get such licence unless you're a policeman or security employee. And aren't only shotguns and bolt action rifles allowed in Russia?

    Stop spreading BS and lies.
    Those laws are for countries like England and Australia.
    In Russia hunters are sport shooters can and use semi-auto rifles and shotguns like Saiga, Tigr etc.
    In Russia you first get a shotgun license (it can be a sem-iauto). After five years you can buy a rifle (and yes, it can be semiauto). You don't need to be a policeman or security employee. The only types of firearms that are not allowed for civilians are pistol and machine guns.

    Do you have to be part of a hunting club to get a shotgun license? Is it allowed in Russia to go hunting individually? Are there any restrictions on accessories like silencers or muzzle breaks?

    Hey Garry, are civilian models of the AK-74 legal in New Zealand? Because if they are you might want to look in to grabbing an Arsenal AK-74M, check out this good review on the Arsenal AK-74M:

    I have decided to apply for a military style automatic licence endorsement for my licence which would mean I can buy and own semi auto AKs of various types like Dragunovs and AKs etc.

    No disrespect but why would I buy an American made Arsenal AK when I can buy a Kalashnikov AK?

    I want Russian made weapons... that is my thing...  Very Happy russia

    Technically the Arsenal's are "Russian", but when they arrive in the States they're the neutered versions without the pistol grip and have to be corrected in a US factory.

    IMO, Molot's are the best you can buy. The one problem is in the States, you cannot find parts to fit them. The RPK's receiver is slightly thicker. I think is 1.6mm, which means standard AK parts need to be slightly shaved down to fit. Stocks are an easy fix, but the hand guards are hard to come by. I also find the finish on the Molot weapons to be better than Izhmash.

    In New Zealand the part shortage probably holds true, be warned if you get the Molot. It gets costly.
