I personally feel the Arsenal AR-M5F41 used by the CAPFs was a better choice for us. The only major issue was displeasing the Russians. We already have the tooling to make machined AKs “inspired” by Arsenal, aka the Trichy Assault Rifle (TAR).

Already discussed a million times.Common sense is not that common plus kickbacks will be minimal compared to selecting Ak203.
Btw if i had an opportunity to select an AK i would have bought the ToT or blueprints from Sako to make Rk95s skeltons and upgrade it with Valman furniture .
RK95s were made in wrong country at wrong time.

I just founded a 1911 SMLE in my station.She is well oiled and well maintained and closes the bolt smoothly so is the trigger.
A collector will easily pay around $2500 at a minimum for this. Will it be possible for you get some history on the rifle? The armory should have some records.

That's a shame. Definitely would have paid for it if I was a collector.

Our police forces could have made millions of bucks by selling these priced items in collectors market.There are .303s ,410 muskets,7.62 Ishapore rifles and even ultra rare P-14s lying there awaiting demise.
Why don't you write up a proposal for that send that up the ladder?

Why are we even buying weapons from Germany? We should have given them the middle finger and copy their designs without paying royalty as a fuck you message to Germany.
Lol.We have much more things to import from germany not to mention the number of students migrating to germany every year.So if we copy their designs they will kick our asses more furiously.

Yeaaa boy lets put a pic rail on the most wobbly part of the AK's handguard where you can't even reliably mount a LAM, let alone an optic. All that real estate on the dust cover we'll ignore because "lol we can't be bothered". We have a good pistol grip on the MAG but here's a shitty one for the AK. "Also we'll quote a higher price (before tax) than a Colt AR-15 made in America". It's 2024 and we still haven't figured out or bothered to make monolithic uppers for the AKM.
