As much as I hate the look of it, adding rails and modern accessories onto an AK makes a lot of sense. It's a no-nonsense type of gun. It's designed to do it's job without fail. If the accessory helps to make doing that job easier, I think we can consider it part of the practicality that the AK represents. Looking at the ARs on this board makes me forget sometimes that all these fancy accessories actually do something. I think we all forget sometimes that the primary function of a gun is to shoot, and shoot well. Not to keep the same aesthetic look for 60+ years. I don't think I've ever heard anyone bitch about USB ports on CD players before. Bitching about rails on an AK makes about as much sense.
