Just ordered my M70.  I have never owned an AK before this one.  Is this a good model to start off with?  I like the fact that it is an underfolder for the convenience of easy storage, and the Yugoslavian gun felt better than the Romanian one I was holding when I picked them both up.  I have not gotten mine in yet (should be Monday before I see it), but I plan on shooting it that very day.  It is a Century build and I paid $500 for it from the Florida Gun Exchange.  How'd I do?

I love mine.  Got a underfolder about a year ago when they still had the wood stocks.  Got a fixed stock last week.  I think they are the best AK out there for the money if you aren't hung up on the lack of chrome lining in the barrels.

I gave $499 for the UF a year ago, and $449 for the fixed.  Sounds like you did good.

Where are you in NC?  I am in G'boro.

Charlotte Suburbia.  I moved here a year ago and can finally breathe again (moved from Long Island).  I find myself in Gboro often.  Where can I try out my new toy up there?  I only have one spot here, and it's indoor and short.  Anything outdoors up that way?

Nothing much up here range wise.  One indoor range (Calibers) out near the airport. You have Uwharrie down a little southwest of me.  I guess it is technically in Troy. I am pretty sure it is still open.  Several of the NC people meet there on the weekends.  I have always been on call when they are there.  Haven't got to go yet.

I shoot on my land.  All the Yankees moving in call the SD everytime they hear shots.

Glad to have a fellow shooter down from NY.

a little disclosure:  I'm not a native NY'er.  I moved there because my wife's family is there.  I left three years later because I couldn't stand the political environment and BS.  Do you know that if my neighbor looked in my window and saw a gun, he could call the police and have me arrested?  WOW!  I didn't know this, but I didn't want to stick around to prove it.  My NY friends that knew I had "a gun" thought I was paranoid or had a Scarface complex.  I like it here.

As far as the M70 is concerned, it should be here in a few days.  Can't wait!
