FEG SA-85
Notes: This
essentially Hungary’s version of a civilianized AKM.
In this iteration, the AK receiver is for the most part retained;
differences are primarily in the department of making sure it could not be
easily returned to automatic fire capability.
The SA-85 has the familiar barrel and sights of an AKM, but the SA-85 has
no kind of a muzzle brake or flash suppressor.
The stock is made from steamed elm; while steamed and hot, the wood
pieces are very easy to precisely cut, shape, and tweak.
The stock comprises every portion of the rifle beyond the pistol grip –
The stock is a thumbhole type stock.
The barrel is a 16.33-inch barrel which is unremarkable except for its
being cold-hammer forged. Instead
of a normal stock, versions were also made that used a folding stock, similar to
the AKMR; however, with the various gun import bans into the US (and often with
similar legislation elsewhere), the SA-85S could not often be imported to the
US, of the parts assembled without a lot of costly licensing for their assembly.
The SA-85 is not an outstanding rifle, nor a poor one, it is, in a word,
average.

FEG KGPF
Though at first
glance one might mistake the FGPF for the SA-85, this will quickly be revealed
as mistaken. The rear thumbhole
stock is in fact nearly identical to that of the SA-85, but the forestock is
much larger and almost totally enclosed the barrel. The area of the receiver and
trigger is much smaller than that of the SA-85 and looks similar to the MP-5.
It is an attractive rifle, with good wood tones.
The safety switch is inside the trigger guard at the top, in front of the
trigger. Sights are like MP-5
sights, as is the cocking lever. The
magazine release is wide and a push ahead the trigger guard will release the
magazine.
