Re: Ak47, AK74, or a .233 AK-based rifle?

Thanks mate! I've been obsessing over application of gun oil on the external parts (I'll do it for the internal's soon, but I may wait until after I've fired and been obligated to field strip it and clean it), heard that you are supposed to 'drench' Parkerized metal parts since it drinks it up when ...

I'll be replacing it with black polymer or possibly wood later. Included is my PPK. Ammo comes later this week, I'll take it shooting and break in the Ma...

Re: Ak47, AK74, or a .233 AK-based rifle?

Just as an update, finally came to a decision. Ordered the Lancaster Arms NDS-2 "Rough Rider" AK74 and will have it shipped to Nova Armaments. :clap: http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1LANDS2RR I'll consider Saigas for my next semi-automatic, after coming across http://www.rifle...

Re: Ak47, AK74, or a .233 AK-based rifle?

Username: I meant to be sarcastic with that italicized line. Naturally I don't have a class III license so I wouldn't be getting an automatic, but I am sure when any layperson sees the rifle they will think it's a cop-killing terrorist-serving saturday night special automatic machine gun capable of ...

Re: Ak47, AK74, or a .233 AK-based rifle?

Why do you say that? I mean in terms of money I can spend on a new firearm, not cash I have in general, and I've already found an AK74 for 449 on Classic Arms, a "NEW ELK RIVER ARMS M74 AK-74 RIFLE.". They've also got a deal for Romanian AK-MVs for 389. J&G sales also has a Bulgarian A...

Ak47, AK74, or a .233 AK-based rifle?

With the gun shop in Herndon opening up soon and 500 dollars burning my pocket, I'm interested in buying my first 'assault' rifle (or as it's known to the public, a Cop killing baby-murdering automatic machine gun saturday night special terrorist firearm weapon of mass destruction [/i]).

Re: Blue Ridge Arsenal

I'm something of a novice to shooting (my prior experience was a college trip to a Roanoke gun range, where I fired the Springfield XD .45 and a .38 special revolver. That's all I have), but I'm interested in visiting Blue Ridge Arsenal soon to begin the wonderful American experience of shooting stu...
