that in the small weapon statistics box, it says "feed system: 30 rounds". A more correct term would be 30 round box magazine (also the 75 and 100 round drums should be mentioned along with 40 round boxes). This is more descriptive since the feed system refers more to the way in which the rounds are fed as opposed to how many are contained in the magazine. This would help to differentiate it from other feeding mechanisms such as disintegrating belts.

Removing the current picture. That's not a picture of a real military AK-101, it's a picture of a civilian clone meant to look like one to people who don't know better, and not an accurate portrayal of what one actually looks like.

This was the picture being used: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/20/RUS_AK-101.jpg and here are two pictures of real ones: http://club.guns.ru/images/ak100/ak101.jpg and http://www.gun-world.net/russain/kalash/ak100/ak101a.gif .

The obvious visual differences present on the civilian "AK-101" in the picture, for those who don't know what to look for, are the non-folding buttstock (which looks quite different from the folding one on the real AK-101) and the lack of magazine well dimples (which is one of the defining features of real military stamped receiver Kalashnikovs). --[[User:Skyler Streng|Skyler Streng]] 22:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The AN-94 is replacing the AK-74, not the Ak-101

Article overhaul

I just overhauled the article to get rid of the false information, compare the histories for more details.

Who changed it to say the AK-101 is the standard issue assault rifle of the Russian Federation armed forces. That is not true, it is the AK-74M that is the standard issue assault rifle.--24.247.177.163 06:28, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

AK-101 as Russian Main Assault Rifle

according to Ak-47.net the AK-101 is the intended replacement of the AK-74M. this can also be confirmed by RUSARM.ru


The AN-94 isnt replacing anything yet, not enough money to produce it in large numbers.,

---

Money isn't the only issue, there's also the fact that there are some draw backs with the AN-94 design and it's not that much more of an improvement over the AK-74M. If the AN-94's problems were worked out and it was felt that it was a much greater improvement it would be fully adopted, Russia has plenty of money to spend, but they are very reserved on what they spend it on. --Skyler Streng 22:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

STANAG

Can the AK-101 use STANAG magazines? If so, should it be mentioned in the article? CeeWhy2 01:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to

make a note about the fact that the "AK-74M" actually is weapon of the hundred series, as you can see there is no conventional rifle named AK-10x because AK-74M is it, there however is the balanced action and carbine AK-100 series weapons in 5.45x39.

Also,

articles about AK-74M, AK-101/102/103/104/105 and maybe 107/108 should really be under one combined topic of AK HUNDRED SERIES.

Just noticed

that in the small weapon statistics box, it says "feed system: 30 rounds". A more correct term would be 30 round box magazine (also the 75 and 100 round drums should be mentioned along with 40 round boxes). This is more descriptive since the feed system refers more to the way in which the rounds are fed as opposed to how many are contained in the magazine. This would help to differentiate it from other feeding mechanisms such as disintegrating belts.
