April 12, 2009(from the creator of the BA-K-47)
We had our first annual Bacon Day this past Saturday. As a huge fan of bacon, and all the great bacon blogs out there, I decided it was time for me to make my own bacon creation. I came up with the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale AK-47 made out of bacon. It took a total of eight hours to create, a lot of bacon, and a blowtorch… oh yeah, and our good friend beer helped too.

This optic set up sounds like a pretty cool deal. I like it because it is low profile and lightweight. And it is a LaRue Tactical product, which everything they make is outstanding and built like a tank. I own their Aimpoint mount they make, and the thing is solid.
I also like the cowitnessing of the sight’s Iron sights and the red dot. That way, if the red dot becomes damaged or doesn’t light up, then you can just use the iron sights. This would be a good set up to bring with you on contract, incase you get issued an AK-47. –Head Jundi

LaRue Tactical AK-IronDot
Simply remove your AK’s rear sight and drop this robust, yet lightweight, mini red-dot in its place. Built around the excellent Burris FastFire Mini Red Dot (included), the AK-IronDot has an integral rear-sight blade for cowitnessing irons. An armored shroud protects the optic, and has access cutouts for the power switch and windage control. The entire unit pivots up and out of the way for easy removal of the receiver cover when cleaning your weapon. Replaces the stock rear sight in seconds.
In this review, I wanted to talk about the various options for custom selector levers. One of the big drawbacks of the AK 47, is the selector lever. With these two types of selectors that I have listed, and with some modification to your AK, you could have a weapon system that you can switch to ‘fire’ and back to ‘safe’ with your index finger. You will also have the ability to lock the bolt open, which is a nice feature. I would like to hear any other input about selectors out there, and I am by no means an AK expert. And as a disclaimer, please find an armorer to do this modification for you, if you have no knowledge of such things. If you guys have any input on this, fire away. -Head Jundi

FEATURES: MK IV: While the standard AK selector lever is well designed for the function it performs, it ‘s operation does require the shooter to remove the firing hand from the pistol grip. The Krebs Custom AK selector lever allows for manipulation of the selector while maintaining the shooting hand in firing position, as well as provides a notch for locking back the bolt for inspection. A one for one replacement of the OEM part.
