I wandered over here because I carry an M4 at work and have current custody of about a dozen captured AK's. Egyptian, Russian, etc. I'm pondering a semiauto buy when I get home, don't quite have the ambition for a build yet.

And I'd like to take this opportunity to say: "Travis Aasen, you lucky bastard!" Not one but two SEAK 3's, and a Jnewt build, all in the same month-- your wife must really love you, dude. Mine would kill me.  (Though mine did let drop that she wouldn't object to a Vector Uzi-- hmm--)

My friends call me Big L, I am 19 years old from central NY, originally from Yugoslavia and I've had passion for guns since I was born. During the break up of Yugoslavia and civil wars back home I have collected vast varieties of weapons such as: 3-Yugo Zastava AK's (also known as Srbijanka) and 2-Hungarian AK's known as (Madjarka), 1-M53 Light Machine Gun (MG-42 Yugo version), 6-Yugo SKS (also known as "Papovka"), cases and cases of ammo. All of this was collected by me and my bestfriend back in Yugoslavia, unofrtunately I moved to America and left everything behind. God only knows where the armory of weapons are. Since NY state is tough on Assault Rifles, I have owned a WASR-10 Hi-Cap didn't like it that much and I sold it to some russian friends. Right now I am only equiped with a M44 Mosin-Nagant but will buy more AK's in the future.

A year ago I bought my first AR-15, and now I just finished my first AR-15 pistol build, I have a 16" rifle in the works, and......... the other day, while I was looking for a shotgun barrel for my buddy, I saw some AK's. I...... ..... w. .... .. . .w.. . . . . ..an. . .. . .. . . .t.. .. (Sorry, I think that's my new disease taking over.) I WANT AN AK! I've already agreed to buy a "ROMY AK" from a guy on the EE. I can't friggin wait to get my hands on that thing. From what I've heard, the AK is not nearly as accurate as the AR, but I tell ya what, I sure do like the look of that wood, and the forward grip on the AK I'm looking at (not sure what you call it) really got my attention. I just hope the ammo is cheaper than 223 lol.
Anyways, I'm 35, married (#3), 17 years in the Navy, looking to retire in a couple years. I have a little boy who loves my guns, everytime I pull my rifle out my son goes crazy. I've been on this site for about a year now, but just never clicked on the button to the right of the AR-15 button. Have no idea what took me so long, but I'm here now! Gene |

Howdy, 53 living in SW Idaho (the refuge for escaped CA citizens who want to live in a free state again). Got started here after accidently pushing the AK button on top instead of the AR. Looked at the AK's some of the members posted and was drawn to the dark side. Being a former Mak90 owner in the 90's I was no stranger to the world of AK's. Have an AK-103k replica on a SA-85 recv'r. Thinking about another AK and might build a EG MPI-KMS replica. Two sons and one daughter ages 12,10 and9. These three keep me poor feeding their 22's and shotguns and busy policing their spent brass.

New here. 25 years old living in central Virginia, originally from south Florida. I signed up soley for the wealth of Ak-related information. I bought my first, a WASR-10, a little over 7 months ago and while it isn't top notch, it is all I can afford at the moment. Not a single complaint besides the fact that she doesn't seem to like any HP ammo. I can say that since my early teens, I've held a strong interest in firearms. Of all that I've seen and fired, the Ak has always fascinated the hell out of me. Anything else always seemed too "nice". I've also got a Mosin Nagant, Ruger mini-30, and a couple CZ-52s. I look forward to learning a lot more than what I have so far, and adding more AKs to my arsenal asap.

My name in the real world is Jake. I have been married for eleven years this March, three great kids, two boys 10 and four, and a girl 7. The ten year old has a .410 single shot, and a Marlin 60 in addition to BB guns. The Girl just got her first a Marlin 60, I got it a year or two early but it came with a truck I bought recently (kept the truck less than 24 hours but hung ontp the rifle).
I am 32, an Army Vet of most of my life, four years AD, Signal Corp, in units nobody but other Army Signal people have ever heard of, and the first 18 years of my life living on Army bases as my father fought the coldwar. I spent a decade as a telecom tech (switches, trans, and big iren routers). The bottom fell out of that business, and I figured if I wasn't going to make any money I might as well do it pulling wrenches. I miss telecom work, but fixing cars can be satisfiying. |

Hello, I recently joined the forum and would like to introduce myself. I developed an affinity for AK-style assault rifles back in college when I studied International Relations and Economics, with a focus on the Cold War, foreign eilite military units, the clandestine services, and foreign terrorist/revolutionary movements. While I have shot a few 'exotic' weapons, I am not an owner of any guns, but I will buying a couple in the very near future. What I'm looking at buying are a Hungarian AMD 65 and Vector Arms underfolder. In the future I'd like to acquire an SVD, an AK-100 series rifle, and branch into NATO arms. I've been using this site and forum as an information resource and found it to be quite respectable. I look forward to posting more in the future, hopefully in turn providing others with information they seek.

Daffy Duck here from Alabama. Mid 40's, married 18 years, 1 kid. Middle management type for a large corporately owned company. Love motorcycles, guns, and music from the 70's. I've been on this side now for about a year and a half. As an owner of 3 AR type rifles, I was to the point of throwing up every time I would go to the AR side of the website and see another 6 pound carbine with 9 pounds of crap hanging from it. If I were to pick one up I don't think I would be able to get a round off (or most people that have them in a stressful situation) Too many ambidextrous cowitnessing optical side folding acucamed laser rails w/integral backup exfoliating thumbswitch controled enemabags for me. As an owner of an SAR1 for the past 5 years, I found I could not go to the range without it . So much fun to shoot and just so simple. Easy to hit, cheap to shoot. I now have 4 Kalshnikovs, The SAR1 with a Red Star trigger group, a Polish underfolder, An Arsenal Bulgaria SLR 105, and a Romaninan kit build underway. I also enjoy shooting my 10-22 heavy barrel, my DSA .308 and my SIG pistols.

OK guys...
My name is Peter, and I have a problem... an AK problem... its started when I wanted a rifle from the motherland (Poland) hence my current search for the ultimate Polish underfolder. Then I realized I needed a Bulgarian Sidefolder, and a RPK, and a Tantal... Currently the fact that $25k a year is going towards school pretty much destroys hopes of a large collectioon until after graduation and loans are payed off. I've got a few toys here and there, but geeding them is an issue due to school. Hell, I still need to pick up some kits before I miss out totally. I'm single, and in my spare time I like to play lacrosse for the Illini, watch football or basketball, weight lift, and pwn liberals. |

Jackbull here, people started trying to kill me on and off with AKs in 1967. After 26 years of Active Duty I bought a WASR, gave it an extended TAPCO Stock, SAW Grip and TAPCO fore grip
decked it out with Russian 4X Illuminated reticle scope. It all works well except the TAPCO fore grip which does not fit well (top insert loose). AKs are all over the world earning their money every day. The WASR may be the bottom of the barrel, but it works 10 times out of 10. I also have a Bushmaster M-4 and a CETME plus a dozen or so bolt guns and a half dozen shotguns and a dozen handguns. When the lighs are out and there is a bump in the night, the old WASR feels good with a 30 rounder in the spout. I won't argue with anybody about what they want to carry when the SHTF, I want choices and an AK is among the ones I want. Anybody who wants to blanket badmouth the AK needs to spend a sleepless night running around chasing guys that have one. Any way I am way to old for "my gun is better than your gun" as long as you get good with everything you have, have as many tools as you can afford. |

I could have sworn I posted in this thread already....
My name is Zane, and I have been married to a very understanding woman for the last 10 years. We have a 7 yr old daughter that is a tomboy, almost like the "son I never had". We also have 4 cats(for some reason, the wife brings a new one home when we get under 4 in the house). I have a degree in accounting, and worked for GE for over 10 years. I got tired of "Corporate America", and now run operations for a property maintenance business owned by my best friend. Bought my '99 vintage SAR 1 in 2000, since it was the first pistol griped AK I had seen that wasn't 900 bucks or more. Became a 5.45 disciple after reading Campy's posts over on Gunsnet(back in the good old days). Bought a '99 SAR 2, and changed out the FSB with help from Omar's tutorial(pretty tame compared to building guns from kits, but back then it was uncharted territory). I own a wide variety of firearms, but the AK is still my favorite. About the only other interests I really have are autos, and corresponding "shadtree mechanic" activities. |

New to the Ak side of the house. Already made my first post about buying a Type 56 rifle.
I live in PA, but have migrated here from MN thru many years of travel. I am 36 yrs old, married 12+ years, 2 kids, age 5 and 11, both born on Sept 11th, have 2 dogs and own 2 houses. I work in the cellular phone industry on the engineering side. I served 10 yrs + in the Army. I was in the artillery for 6 yrs and then reenlisted for communications for the last 4. Love guns, was brought up with them. I try to be an avid hunter, but do not get enough time in the woods. As far as what guns I own, I have one AR, an RRA A4 Varmint, most accurate rifle I have ever shot, a M48 Mauser, a CX4 Storm in 45, a SIG Mod 970 rifle in 25-06 for deer hunting, a few pistols and of course a Rem 870 12 ga, everyone should own one of these. Not a lot by any means, but I am kind of picky when it comes to buying guns, plus I try to control my impulse buying. If I pick up a rifle and I don't get that warm and fuzzy feeling, back on the rack it goes. My next big purchase will be one of 2 rifles. Either a AI AWM in 338 Lapua Mag, or moving up a notch in power, a Barret 416. Not sure which one it will be, but one of them will be mine this year!!! |
