I was big into AKs about 15 years ago and was very active on the boards. There was another great site, that I can't remember, but think it is gone now. Anyway, I am back. I decided to get another AK. However, I am not going to make everything "Russian". I have always love the Maadi and was able to get one for a reasonable price for this day and age, and am looking forward to more discussions.
