As long as we’re on the subject of tactical AK’s (Kalashnikov AK-47/AKM rifle/carbines) and TFBTV Show Time videos, we might as well do a quick piece on Occam Defense Solutions’ ODS-1775 AKM Pattern Rifle (Carbine) and ODS-1775 AKM Pattern Pistol, as well. Both gun packages look well-outfitted to us. So, assuming they’re well-built too, they look like nice tactical AK packages, albeit a bit pricey…but quality costs.
The overall bent of the guns would appear to be to bring them as close to modern tactical AR (AR-15 carbine/SBR/pistol) shootability as possible in a Kalashnikov package. Both guns are really feature-rich, as you can see below.
Editor’s Note: Occam Defense Solutions is located in MOSCOW, Idaho, which is funny, since they’re in the AK business. Nice touch, guys.
The following (not quite complete) info on the ODS-1775 AKM Pattern Rifle and ODS-1775 AKM Pattern Pistol come directly from the Occam Defense Solutions website:
