AK Corner: Zastava M19 MCS -Next Gen AK or Just another AR Frankenfish?

Posted on 26 October 2022 by The Tactical Hermit

My Two Cents based off this military design:

To me it looks like a SCAR and a M90 AK had a really messy one night stand.
Not wild about the 360 degree change in the manual of arms with the SCAR style folding stock, HK style selector switch and the AR charging handle? Why must me try and make every gun look and function like an AR? Nope.
Personally, the ability to change barrels and calibers does not excite me. It seems more of a feature for the military end-user. An AK-47 is a 7.62×39 weapon, an AK-74 a 5.45×39, period. Unlike the author, I do not think a 5.56/.300 Blackout version would be a big seller in the U.S. for the civilian market simply because of the price point. People would just buy a mid-range to high end AR.
This weapon is a failure for the TRUE AK Purist. Why? Manual of Arms MATTERS! There is a reason AK aficionados and AR Geeks don’t get along and never the twain’ shall meet.
