It still utilizes the basic long piston design of the a standard AK, and it will accept standard AK furniture, including the stock and pistol grip. It was even mentioned that it could use the standard fire control group. A couple of other changes are the addition of quick release pins to the gas tube and a hinged dust cover. The components will mainly be a mix of 4140 steel and milled aluminum (and Brandon stressed that “there will be no cast parts”).

AK furniture and AK FCG do not make an AK.......

If one got working regardless of issues, would you still want to at least fire it? Just to see you don't like it?
