I have a nearly mint version in 7.62 X 39. Most of these rifles were sent to Grenada and were captured there by the US Marines.
It is a very well ballenced, heavy, solid rifle.
It shoots great. The only odd thing is that it ejects to the left.
Most of the rifles in 7.62 X 45 are in bad shape, and ammo, if you can find it, is going up in price although it used to be cheap. The X 45 round really was a better round but
standardization ended its life.
You realy don't need spare mags as it is made to be loaded by strippers like an SKS. It is more like a Rashid and an SKS than an AK. Still, I love my (now) safe queen, and would never give it up.
My rifle has a greenish lamiated stock. The black crinkle finish was add to rifles in poor shape. They should still shoot fine, but if you can find one in 7.62 X 39 and without the crinkle stock, you will have a much better rifle. Thing is, most people who bought them still have them making them hard to find.
