8) Understand that although many aftermarket accessories exist for the AK most are to be avoided for serious use rifles. This is because many of them are made for the recreational shooter and not for those that use AK’s in harms way. Some of my personal favorites are the AK trigger from Geissele, my signature Vickers AK Sling from Blue Force Gear and the aftermarket AK furniture from Magpul.
This is not an all exclusive list but these items all seem to be good pieces of kit from my experience.
Do your research
9) The Kalashnikov is a very forgiving rifle but it is still a machine and can fail like anything man made. Not all AK’s are created equal and you don’t always get what you pay for. Do your research before you buy and choose wisely. Just because a rifle is made by a well-known AK gunsmith doesn’t mean it’s the correct AK for you. Sometimes less is best.
