Midwest Industries Universal AK Rail
http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=241
My first impressions were that everything appears to be well machined, and anodized a deep rich black color. Of course the niceness of the rail is offset by the brute functionality of the AK itself. I'll be the first to admit that I've never thought of the AK as a good looking weapon, and while not ugly, its more that I look at an AK they way I see a spork. Simple, functional, hard to mess up, but with a few drawbacks.
The rail concept for an AK is nothing new, and there are some very nice, and rather expensive AK rails on the market, and there are also a slew of cheap imported rails as well. I have a hard time paying more for a rail than I did for the host weapon itself. The flip side to that is that I won't throw an import rail of dubious quality on ANY weapon system that I own. I would rather keep a weapon basic, than to slick it up, and introduce problems into the system. The Midwest Industries Universal rail balances this out quite nicely. A high quality rail and a good price (MSRP $124.95)
