This one is a Milled Norinco, with a beautiful 4 piece California Black Walnut stock set.

If an AK can be called beautiful

It can't. Not even if Function = Beauty.

(It works, but doesn't excell at anything.)

that is one of the nicest AK rifles I've seen.

True enough. That is some handsome wood. Kinda like putting rims on a Yugo, though.

That's hilarious!

I bought my first AK during Katrina, because the gun and ammo were both cheap. I built the other two right afterward, because I had plenty of cheap ammo for them, and $200 ain't bad for something that's decent for defending your home from roaming gangs (they evacuated quite a few of the N.O. criminals to my city).

My SKS is a better rifle than any of them, and still isn't the cream of the crop.

The advantage is that all of these weapons share the same ammo, and my family and friends are easily armed if necessary.

The post-katrina events showed us all that we could need more than handguns on a moment's notice.

Good to see a another GT'er here. I used to live in Corpus Christi also.

Good to see you too, Amigo.

There are a few of us who've joined this board very recently.

I was registered here before, but I either used a different name or it was forfeited when I didn't use it for a long time.

I currently own three Kalashnikov-47's, an Egyptian and a pair of Romanians. An unissued Yugo SKS. A 1939 Mosin-Nagant 91/30 (Tula), a 10/22, and a Winchester 1300 Defender.

I have a Springfield Armory Field Grade Garand on order, and plan to order a 1903 in the near future.

I don't shoot from a bench, I use only my body for support, and I practice only with iron sights.

A very good friend of mine has a German K98 Mauser, and I really want to add one of those to my collection. I love shooting his rifle so much that I bought him a case of ammo for it. That thing is SWEET!
