Well, I went the Gun Show in Raleigh today bright & early, looking for a SAR-1, when I feel in love with the SAR-2. It was cheaper, and even though its a 99 model, it was in better condition than the 2003 SAR-1s. I got it and 100 rounds of Ulyanovsk for $315 even. I did sell the SKS to get this, but I don't have any regrets doing it. (mostly because they are cheap in this area). I'll have to give yall a range report after I'm done with my exams next week. I also put a pic up for yall also with the shirt that matches the gun ( and no I'm not a dirty commie either )
