There are certain upgrades that really do make your AK better. A quad rail for a light is a good thing. There are certainly other ways to accessorize the rifle that don't add any value!

I'm a fan of the MI forend, its not any heavier than wood and their top covers can mount red dots and reflex sights to cowitness with the irons.
It also deals with the heat from the gas tube way better...the first time I took my Tantal out, my friend and I had the bakelite smoking. The aluminum forend barely gets hot to the touch. That being said I think a pair of gloves is a big requirement for the class.
Is there a "recommended gear" list somewhere? I thought I saw a # of round requirement, but I'm wondering about magazines and other things.
Will this class also teach handling an AK left handed? I am interested in the class, I just want some lefty instruction.
I've taken MSTT Carbine Course and it was great. I've taken other carbine courses from other organizations and these guys are right on par. As soon as I can scrounge up enough $$$ for an AK, I plan on taking this course...most likely next year. Would love to take one of the new handgun modules next. Looking forward to getting the training, not looking forward to the drive though...wash-board roads suck! LOL
The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
Are the roads to BCGC tricky? I drive a fairly low car...
Aww Deus, if I go, I'll give you a ride thru the rough stuff. I'm sure there's a parking area nearby prior to the that. I know what you mean though. I used to go to quite a few classes in the country driving a Toyota Corolla.
