The reason for asking is that I like to have more than one of each rifle rifle I own.  If I am going to spend the time to learn the rifle, buy ammo, buy mags, and buy spare parts, I want a backup for that rifle.  Does anyone else think like this.  

How many AKs do you have and why?

I usually try to have one bolt action rifle as a back up for each semi-auto I have.

I have a variety of weapons, but so far I only have 1 AK.  Im currently searching for a nice under folder or maybe even a pistol AK.  I like the big power in a small package idea.

I had these until the tragic boating accident and they were all lost.

I started out trying to collect one from every country, but sometimes I would come across a deal I couldn't pass up and wound up with a couple from the same country. The deals were so good that two of those AKs you see cost me $40 combined. I still need a Polish and Russian example.

Most of mine started out as an attempt to obtain a complete set of spare parts.
I still don't have any parts.

Some unfortunate (former) gun owners lost all their firearms when their boat sank. Thus, if it came time to turn the firearms in, they could not do so.

Not a retard, you just don't know. It's sort of an inside joke among gun enthusiasts referring to a possible future encounter with the Feds when they come to confiscate your weapons. At that time, our answers would be, "Sorry, I don't own any guns, the ones I had were lost in a boating accident or sold at a gun show." Obviously, we really do have them. Get it?

How many AKs do you have and why?


Your question will get mostly tongue in cheek answers, think about it, " How many AK's do you own and why"? Ask that of owners in your own state (California) and you will not get any answers. Firearm owners are very discrete about their collections and although they eager to talk about country correctness and problem solving they do not want to open their collections to the scrutiny of any oversight group or criminal elements (many that have sold on the equipment exchange have released personnel information).

I had 6 until I sold them off to fund a few other things. I did keep my Yugo Krink and Norinco UF so I still have those two. I also have a Bulgarian side folder 74.

So I guess three!

Just one.  I recently started my AK collection.  I will get more over time.  I picked a hell of a time to get into AK's because of the crazy prices.  But oh well.  It's just money right.
