Never fly the A model...

The Delta looks pretty sweet... and since I have an AK, with mags, I wouldn't have to go shopping! I'd like to try one of those out!

Looks pretty cool! How much are they?

I'll bet along the lines of "If you have to ask, you can't afford it..."

I wanna say I read that they are going for around $1K

I sure hope I could afford that, but maybe I would prefer to get an actual, nice, Arsenal ak.

I would rather have the AR platform if I had to choose between the 2, but
in the end Id rather have something in 7.62 NATO or 5.56 then 7.62x39.
Thats me though.

My only issue is that, too my knowing these are brand new platforms, and might have some issues. I also would prefer the 7.62 NATO round, but if I was to get a 7.62x39 I would go with the proven, reliable ak platform, not the new, unproven RRA platform.

These aren't released to the public yet- (Aug/Sept release date?)

it's not like 7.62x39 hasn't been done in the AR platform.. and what were the major issues?

1) Magazines have issues, because they're made too straight for the tapered cartridge,so they can fit in the magwell (no, not that kind of straight- go back to the "OK, seriously admins, WTF?!?!? " thread)
2) Bolts are weaker, due to larger base diameter of the cartridge
3) DI system clogs with dirty steel-case ammo (which defeats the purpose of an AR over an AK, right?- use quality ammo for accuracy)

Obviously RRA is addressing #1, but are they going to use a hybrid bolt (one based on AR10 diameter, like used on some of the big-bore solutions) to address #2?
#3 could be addressed with a piston-system, or by just not using quality ammo to take advantage of the platform

and a new issue- AK mags aren't designed for bolt hold-open... will they abandon that feature, or find a way that works (likely to not work with EVERY AK mag)?

I like the IDEA, but the execution is where this will make or break it.
