Have the hungarian amd, prolly the lightest one I've ever owned. It's done fine by me. I really want an underfolder though, BADDDDD! Been looking at the Yugo but they don't come chromelined which is a no no for me. Corrosive ammo is plenty and cheap and I buy a shit ton when I can find it lol

wordd how easy is it to clean? lol i hate cleaning so i try not to use the surplus/corrosive ammo too much. 762s are still fairly cheap tho. i'm thinking a Saiga 12 for my next baby

[Chyeahhh!!!]

easy as pie. Breakdown is standard for the ak except the gas and rod mechanism. It's shorter than most but it doesn't make it any more difficult. I've made a few changes to it for better ease of user, went the heavy quad picatanny route but it gave it too much forward weight. Took that junk off lol. kept it stock with the exception of a Hogue grip, custom cheek riser/weld, and a magwell enhancer for smoother mag switch transitions. I didn't even bother to put a recoil reducer in there, used to be a fan of them but I think they wear out the recoil springs. The AK to me is like the 1911, fuck with it too much and you mess up a brilliant design lol

7.62 is a Russian round most notably found in the AK, again not standard issue

what do they need those for?

not to mention all the .45 rounds they bought up, again...not standard issue ammunition for service weapon.

presumably what they're going to arm the syrians with IMO

not to attack us with lol

[Chyeahhh!!!]

who said anything about attacking us? lol sounds like you're going off the deepend there bucko.

why are they using a contractor/middle man though instead of just doing it directly since they've already come out and publically stated that they were going to arm them? Doesn't make since. Saves money and time by just doing it directly, and air dropping it rather than hire a sub military contractor to do it, who doesn't even have an exports license (that should be the dead giveaway right there lol)
