Yeah, a friend handed me a copy of a "FAQ" from ak47world that basically said the SAR-1's were crap, and that the Norinco's were the "most rugged, and best value"... Further, they went on to say:
"What does reciever thickness and the lack of "mickey mouse" anti-trip device that only complicates your trigger group, mean to AKM performance???
Simple, if you only fire your thinner reciever AKM variants lightly, you usually won't have any problems."
Do these people know what they're talking about at all, or are they totally full of crap??? I'll admit to being unknowledgeable about AK's in general, and being the new owner of an SAR-1 - so some of the things ak47world had to say are somewhat of a concern to me...
Could some of our more knowledgeable posters clarify some of this, please???
