I thought he died last year!

Edited to add that I just did a search and he seems to be quite alive.

Finger on the trigger? But then I guess with a 20 lb trigger pull you don't have to worry much.

For some reason, they're frikken expensive in the land of the free. Our evil or opressed bretheren in Pakistan get 'em for fifty bucks though.

2 lbs on a semi-auto.  Scary.

i'll be at the plateshoot with my ak-74 tomorrow (tusco rifle club)! i hope uncle mikhail timofeyovich remembers to show up!

noah, 2lbs on a field gun was too light.  fun, but impractical and unsafe for some uses and conditions.

adjusted up to 3-1/2, it is just about perfect for groundhogs and plateshoots.

Interesting---AKM top cover on a type 3 (milled reciever) AK47.  Wonder if he commented on that to whoever gave him the rifle to hold for the pic?

Campy:

Roger on the 2 lbs being low; 3.5 lbs you find OK.  

You scared me for a minute, but I should have known better!

There's a man I can forgive for having his finger at the trigger.  I kneel at the altar of Mikhail Kalashnikov.  I hope he lives to be 100 years old.

I don't care what anyone says. You've gotta admit that the AK-47 is a SWEET-lookin' piece of work!
