Can2boy, if you're in the market for an AK I don't really see them coming down much more than they are now. $350-$380 is really a steal for what you get.

Re: First AK47 on the way
Actually, I would love to shoot one of those sometime. I might have to take you up on it. Although, I doubt it has as much recoil as the .50 cal I shot recently. The whole range felt the recoil from the .50 cal. We were basically having to call cease fires on the range to shoot it because it was catching to many people off guard and creating a dust storm.MadMonkey wrote:Can2boy, if you're in the market for an AK I don't really see them coming down much more than they are now. $350-$380 is really a steal for what you get.

Which .50? Some of them have pretty darn effective muzzle brakesjeeperbryan wrote:Actually, I would love to shoot one of those sometime. I might have to take you up on it.

I'm dying to shoot a .50 caliber at some point. I don't want to own one, but shooting it would be a hoot!

Re: First AK47 on the way
Tapco mags never fit properly the first time, they're good in the variant AKs because TAPCO adds extra material onto the mag...so as you keep inserting your mag...the material will wear to custom fit the AK...which means no mag wobble.
