Looking for the best mutant ak47

[jastricker]

I am looking for referrals on what is the best “mutant” ak47 that has the gas system of a regular Ak as Ak are accurate enough for my needs. But, I am looking for one the has rails where either iron sights can be put on like an ar, and a scope that will allow co-witness. Plus rails near the fore end to add a flash light and An/peq15 sight system. It would be nice if it has a bayonet or at least a log for one. I have Norinco spikers and I don’t want to bastardize them with black railed hand guards and drilling holes for a side mount for a scope mount. Thanks for the help

I noticed the Banshee prices have dropped a good bit since the Dissent came out. CMMG is king imho.

Thanks, do they make one that uses a gas system that is not direct impingement? As I have been told that is part of why ar fail at a higher rate. As I am looking for a gun that can get dirty, etc and keep firing like a standard Ak.

Faxon ARAK?

Crap as I was looking for an ak47 that had rails from where the dust cover of standard Ak is to the end of receiver. As I want the reliability of an ak(piston gas system, looser tolerances) with the ability to add optics, light, an/peq15, etc. I guess I just might have to bastardize a Norinco spiker Ak with holes to add a side mount if I can find a few more sets of ra regulate scope mounts and railed handguards. Which I know will kill the value of the spiker. If someone can think of a better option like buying a differnt Ak that has bayonet that would be helpful. I want a bayonet as an Ak with no bullets or bayonet is just a paper weight😂. Thanks for any help.

Just buy a dust cover with a rail built in. Same with railed hand guards. Add them to your gun of choice.

Will they hold zero? As I could have remembered it wrong but a long time ago there was a discussion about railed dust covers and them not holding zero well. I might just have to find an Ak possibly American made that has a bayonet and a side mount. Then sell my spiker ak’s as they are for my kids when they get older. So, it isn’t about collectability, but about function as I see a bloody future 20-30 years from now if not before. Which is why I have body armor, etc. which I still have some extra unissued fast and psgat helmets. As I sold all the extra lvl4 plates I had ironically to police officers from small towns that wouldn’t pay for hard armor for their swat units which is crazy.

Disagree. Thats why AKs are the best....

Check out the CMMG Mutant 100k rd review by Pew. The Mutant DI did have the tube blow at 100,000rds , reason they ended the test. And it was Dirty. The adjustable gas blocks work well . This is their new piston gun. Lifetime Warranty transferable.
