Military Arms Channel Beryl Archer Review
I agree, a little disappointing that it doesn't come with the trademark Beryl features of the folding stock and top rail, but looks to be overall a great quality AK with 1" groups. As Sturmgewehre points out, for a lot of people the quality won't be worth $1300 without some more Beryl features. Also too bad they went with the slower twist barrel so it won't shoot 62 grain and up as well. Why did they even notch the safety at point? While I understand the tabbed safety thing, I don't really have a problem with chamber flagging the rifle if I need to instead of holding it open. That is all a notched safety on an AK is good for unless you are getting ridiculously fancy with Yugo hold open followers and slapping up the safety before pulling the mag.

Atlantic Firearms has a couple of cool new products
These have been available for a little while, finally got a chance to post about them.
First up is the HellPup Pistol, this is an extension of IO Inc's HellHound series, which is very similar to M+M's M10 series. Their Pistol is basically a Draco pistol with a railed plastic handguard and Phantom style flashhider. One other unique feature is a rail on the back of the receiver. This would make a picatinny sling attach point very easy to add now. In the past you had to drill and tap a sling stud in or a sling plate. I generally don't like sling attachment plates on my rifle AKs but my Draco pistol does have a Parallax Tactical VM-1, which I do think is very solid.
In general, there is a big debate about pistol AKs and if they are useful or not. I keep mine around somewhat as a toy but also a practical reason is here in Indiana it is the only way I could dear hunt with an AK (haven't yet, but want to). However, Draco pistols have been very spotty on their importation lately so while the HellPup lists more than a standard Draco does at $650, it still might be a good option if you are looking to get an AK pistol or base for a SBR project.
Another cool product that isn't exactly an AK, but too cool to not drool over in my book is a DSA tacticool Semi-Auto RPD. At $2500 it is far out of my price range, but still very unique. Atlantic Firearms always some of the widest ranges of products.

Colorado Guns M10 links
I noticed a lot of you are digging the M10-762. Here's some links that srice425 sent to me. My attempts to reach Colorado Guns on both info for the M10-762 and the M10-22 along with extra parts for WASR22s have not been replied to. The Tapco Razr flash hider is removable with standard AK 14x1mm LH underneath.
Basically it is a WASR10 style receiver with a Draco gas block.
