We have all heard of the perfect storm. In the industry we had a perfect storm in the alliance of Sonny Puzikas and I, and the addition of Jim Fuller, at a time when the evil Assault Weapons Ban had lapsed and the interest in the kalashnikov rifle had begun. We were running AKs before AKs were cool, and we brough the weapon into prominence and as a first choice to savy operators.
A similar "perfect storm" has taken place with the confederation of Suarez International, Rifle Dynamics, Texas Weapon Systems, and Trijicon. Suarez International brought the best developed methodology for kalashnikov use available today, RD brought in their revolutionary rifle design, Texas Weapon Systems brought their railed top cover which is changing everything for this weapon system, and Trijicon brought their high grade ACOG scope. Put them together and you get the ultimate expression of the kalashnikov system.
Rather than wax elquent on the rifle, I am doing this as a photo essay of sorts. Enjoy gents and know that thanks to this new storm, what you see here is within your reach.
That's beautiful. The TWS will sit atop my S308 after a Rifle Dynamics rework.

The AK platform is awesome. I would love to see it made with a thicker barrel and be rechambered in 6.8REM SPC. Then it would become "the super-weapon" with better accuracy and Knock-down power.

You'll have the perfect storm after you get your AK Ceracoated at STS Arms LLC. AK + no corrosion/rust = perfect.

That is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen.

A folding/ collapsible stock would compliment this system to maintain spot/ cheek weld when incorporating body armor/ cold weather layers? And of course a camo job to blend and deceive rather than to contrast with ones back ground as Snipers utilize this as a target indicator. This I understand from experience. 1983-1987 Chief Scout Sniper 7th marines
