Nice 'tacticool' upgrade for the Vz. 58, the best AK that isn't an AK. If only it had a rail over the main receiver as well.

LOVE IT! It's even nicer than official Czech army upgrade package. And the recoil reduction is the great thing too. Actually basic Vz. 58 have a slightly harder recoil because it's not operated by rotating bolt but by falling breech lock.
I have a photo of Vz. 58 upgrade that you can see in the field:

Hmm, not bad. Though I don't know the entire specs on the Czech official upgrade but from the looks of it, the North Eastern Arms upgrade kit is better. I'd buy it but once again I live in a tight-ass country.

Don't know if many of you know this but recently Izhmash, the Russian manufacturer of the AK series firearms, has been in a real hard spot. Facing bankruptcy and all, they've resorted to going into the airsoft market, manufacturing airsoft versions of their "real steel" counterparts and using many of the same parts as well. This isn't unheard of for firearms manufacturers to do, Magpul has been in the airsoft business for a while now making airsoft versions of their PMags, MBUS flip up sights and so forth.
This is kind of old news as Izhmash has showcased its first AK74M airsoft rifle a month or so ago but they've now uploaded this ad on youtube(not sure if they're airing in Russia but definitely not airing here thats for sure) featuring not only their AK74M but also other Izhmash firearms like the PP-19 and SVD. Go check it out.
Looking at the ad, I think they may be getting somewhere.

Hell yeah. Now we're talking. ^^
I know about magpul is in the marked but for Izhmash now it's getting more and more interesting. Of course here the price will be hellish as I know our market. -.- Maybe I should go to russia and buy one there. It would probably come cheaper than buying one here. :)

I think the same. I shoul ask about it but dunno when I'll see someone.

I wonder who will be next to come into the airsoft market. I think its great that these companies make airsoft versions because you know that they're legitimate like their real versions. Imagine if KAC or H&K decided to come into the market, I'd love to be able to get an airsoft M110 or G36 made by the actual company.
Also, just to comment on the ad, that high profile scope one of those guys sporting the 74M had looked quite interesting.

Yeah I'd like that because that would be one more step to getting closer to reality...
Also I've been re-playing Muv-Luv Alternative and I can't stop to wonder what the heck is that bullpup rifle they present there... It doesn't match any I know of I even stated searching for it. Does anybody know by a chance?

Show us a picture when you can. Most likely, its an artist original gun.

FN Herstal USA has shown its new sniper rifle, designed for SOCOM's Special Operations Precision Sniper Rifle(PSR) competition. And might I just say what a lovely work it is, very much keeping to the reputation of FN, I've always been a fan of FN's designs like for the P90 or FNP. While they haven't given it a name yet(I imagine something like FN PSR), it will be having a civilian model under the name "Ballista*".
It has a feature much like the DTA SRS and Nemesis Arms Vanquish. The rifle can change calibres from .300 Winchester, .308 and .338 Lappua Magnum by changing the barrel, bolt head and magazine. This sounds more tedious than the other two multi-calibre rifles who also have more variety in what calibres they can switch from.
Overall though, the rifle looks fantastic and that's just the prototype, they're planning on adding a powered rail system onto the rifle and other sorts of stuff as well. I'd be surprised if they don't select this rifle but then again, I have not seen what other competing rifles look like. . . yet.
[size=10]*For those who don't know, a Ballista is a weapon from ancient times. Used for siege warfare, it resembled a giant crossbow and launched large darts or a spherical projectile of some sort. It was used very much by the Romans.[/h]

Lot of reading ahead. Listen to this while you do.
Look at this competition rifle by Colt, the M2012. Looks pretty nice though it retails for about $3,800. The gun is chambered for .308/7.62x51mm and weighs 13.2 lb. This rifle sort of resembles Remington's XM2010 but has differences.
Speaking of the XM2012, this rifle is pretty downright sexy. In fact, it's a tacticool M24 Sniper, chambered for the .300 Winchester and last time I checked, this thing went for $1,800.
On the topic of tacticool weaponry. Here is an M1 Garand "tacticoolized" with an Enhanced Battle Rifle(EBR) System by Sage. The rifle apparently doesn't require any modifications.
Personally, I don't like the idea of turning such a classic rifle into a tacticool wonder but for those who do, they'll probably also like this. Modern Ammo pouches that work with the MOLLE system to fit the M1 Garand's en-bloc clips. Anybody who likes the tacticool M1 can also outfit their gear to accommodate it.
Here's another WWII firearm that's received a tactical makeover. A German firm called "Tactics Group" is releasing a tacticool version of the Fallschirmjagergewehr 42, FG-42 for short. It replaces its original wooden furniture with polymer and features picatinny rails on top of the receiver and on the sides of the handguard. The grip is also compatible with AR-15 type grips.
Apart from the looks, it also will include a spring-powered recoil reducing buttstock. Personally, I would have liked if they could have changed the calibre for a more abundant round but they've kept it with the original 7.92x57mm Mauser. The company also said they're making a higher capacity magazine than the standard 20 round magazine the FG-42 originally had.
But WWII rifles aren't the only ones being modernized. It seems the Magpul influence has reached Russia as we see with this modernized SVD Dragunov, courtesy of Mr. Gennady M. Kozhaev, gunsmith and owner of OOO Skat.
The rifle features a standard AR-15 A2 pistol grip which I figure will be compatible with other AR-15 grips and a Magpul Precision Rifle System(PRS) stock. The gas block also seems to be redesigned and from the looks of it, is more substantial than the original. Both front and rear iron sights are removed and replaced with picatinny rails, the barrel is also threaded with a muzzle brake instead of the original SVD flash hider. Here is a compact variant which is also available.
With AK style guns, here's a nifty new accessory from Strike Industries, which replaces the AK's rear leaf sight with a low profile picatinny rail for optics. Looks pretty nice but the downside is now you don't have backup iron sights.
On the topic of AKs, this is an interesting AK-ish PDW, the AO-46, designed by the same person who developed the balanced recoil system used in the AK-107, Peter Andreevich Tkachev. Its loaded for the 5.45x39mm, same round for the AK-74s and AN-94. What's the most interesting about this gun is that it's magazine doubles as the pistol grip for the weapon.
The gas system is also very interesting, which you will see in the following pictures.
Check out these blinged out firearms from North Korea, all chromed with fancy carvings on the wood furniture. While I don't have a problem with them showing these off on the parade, these guys look rather silly coming back from an exercise with these.
Speaking of Czech, I only recently found out about a Czech weapons manufacturer, LUVO Arms. They've been around for almost a century now, making arms since the end of WWI. They make Czech classics like the Vz. 58 and Vz. 61 Skorpion but recently, they've focused on producing AR-15 and AR-10 style rifles in a wide variety of styles and calibres, some quite exotic. Here's a few examples:
They also make other variants for other rounds like .300 AAC Blackout, 6.8mm SPC, 9mm Luger and .22 LR to name a few. At the moment they do not produce their own long range sniper rifles and only distribute Barrett rifles but they are in the middle of developing rifles for .338 Lappua Magnum and .50 BMG.
With AR-15s, check out this .308 Winchester AR-15 by NEMO Arms. The interesting thing about this AR is that it's made entirely of titanium, the upper receiver, the lower receiver, handguard, buffer tube, you name it. If you're wondering how much this costs, it's $95,904.
Also, with AR-15s, this is a new rail system by Ballista Tactical Systems, which has an interesting feature. The forward section of this rail system can be rotated at 45 degree increments by pushing a button located on the mid section of the rail system. This means that you could switch between a bipod and foregrip with the push of a button.
It would have been good if they made it able to rotate freely. This would make sniping on uneven ground easy. Rotatable bipods are already a feature on most high-end snipers.
I find this rather funny and cute. An architect named Baptiste DeBombourg made these building designs which resemble firearms. Entitles "Tradition of Excellence" the architect based these drawings on the damnation of Heinrich Zille "One can kill a man as easily with a dwelling as with an axe!”. Of course instead of an axe, it is an automatic weapon.
And to end it off, here's a little update of Kei.

That's really impresive collection of firearms news. I know about LUVO obtaining a permision on making AR-15 rifles and so but I did not noticed the went this far. ^^
Luvo is actually a subdivision of CZUB to be exact.
All best to Kei who is not here.
