Hey all!
Well the time comes in every mans life, were he must decide which AK-47 he is going to buy.
SO many choices!!! I'm sitting on a MOUNTAIN of 7.62x39mm left over from my SKS escapades the last few years. But, I've sold all my SKS's. Good guns, just not my style.
So enter the AK-47.
My bud back in high school had an AK-74. I LOVE that gun. LOVE it. But I am more interested in the 7.62x39mm round due to greater availability and also since I've got so much on hand.
So I need to ask you guys, the AK experts, for some advice.
What I'm looking for, is simple. I am wanting the closest (newely made, not used) gun I can get to a first generation AK-47, or a very early AKM. It does not necessarily need to be milled, but it does need to be as close to a proper Russian original AK or early AKM.
That being said, I want wood furniture. If I need to buy a surplus Russian wood stock set, so be it. If it comes with wood, it must be a close match to how the original AK-47 or AKM wood looked.
That's it.
I just want as close as I can get to an early AK/AKM, in terms of looks and construction. I also want a well made gun, not something cheap.
So guys, what do you recommend for this AK newbie?
Thanks so much!!
