:::It's more cost effective to modify existing (and registered pre-86) AKMs with AK-103 parts kits ;) Doesn't mean *I* will do it, because it's a lot of work for no current reason, but I can't see a reason why others would not be able to do so. It does NOT look like a 103 but then I have not seen better pics from the production. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:11, 27 January 2010 (UTC) (correction) Title II manufacturers (Like CW) can build their own from the numerous AK receivers being built in this country and complete it with Parts kits. Again, I have no definitive indications of what these are, but there are tons of new types of AKs being imported (now only European style guns), which is a BIG change from the 1980s when there were only Chinese guns.

I have a few photos that show some of the weapons seen during the film's production, but they are all unofficial pictures taken by extras/bystanders on the film set. AFAIK there are no official set pictures that have been released, so would there be any problems if I post them? | |||
Revision as of 02:47, 27 January 2010
WTH? Did a 3 year old write this page?
- I think it would be more advisable to wait until a teaser or official set photos emerge before creating this page. After all, the release date is more than nine months away. --Markit 22:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- I fixed the page's spelling and grammar issues.
AK as seen in promo pic
Is that an AKM with black synthetic furniture? Should I take an inventory Movie AKM and put black AK74 style furniture on it and photograph it for this page? Or is the gun something else? MoviePropMaster2008 22:50, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- Please do.-protoAuthor 01:28, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
- I think it may be something else. It may be something in the AK 100 series or some other varient. We need a better look at the weapons in question.Rockwolf66 01:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
