Hi Guys,
This is my first post and of course I have a question for the experts. The only AK I had was a pretty fun Arsenal SGL21 that I would mess around with at the range. I went looking for something cool and different last week and stumbled upon an unfired pre-ban Polytech Underfolder in 5.56 at my local shop (great shop filled with hard to find guns). After getting it home I realized that I should have asked a few important questions. Is it okay to shoot away at this like I would a regular AK, or should I treat it like a collectible and put it in the safe? Also, how hard is it to find correct 30 round mags? Thanks. |

Zero Hour? |
| these are truly some of the finest and best built AK rifles, the mags are expensive but if the gun comes with 2 or 3 who cares. A true NIB gun might be a shame to foul but that is what they are made for. All depends on whether you are a shooter or collector. In my opinion the early poly-tech and Norinco guns are only rivaled in quality by the 'kassner' Hungarian SA-85M, 'Mitchell' Yugo and Steyr Maadi. These sort of guns where built to perfection, before the times where overall profit outweighs quality, such as the "Frankenstein-euro-trash" of the last decade |

Not Zero Hour, it was from GFA Armstec in Natick.
I decided not to shoot it, and I do still have that Arsenal SGL-21 for the range. I'm not really a collector so I'm thinking I may sell/trade it away to someone who actually collects. I know they are much more rare than other Polytechs, and it is a really low serial number. |
