Yes, first one - I have fancied one for a while but this just fell into my lap so to speak at a price that I could not say no to! I love the fact that it will eat just about everything you can throw at it - the steel case shells at $4.97 for 20 as opposed to the AR-15 which will only eat brass shells at three or four times that price - it makes recreational shooting affordable again.

I am quite a fan of the AK platform myself. Is this your first? If so, Welcome to the club!

Well isn't that quite nice! Now will you share the story of how you came home with it?

I was in my local emporium last week and mentioned that I would quite like an AK - before I could say anything more, this was presented to me - its a Polish (NOT Romanian) under folder, 7.62 x 39 and was sold new to someone who, two weeks later decided that he needed the cash for college. So I was given first refusal on an un-fired AK at a substantial discount to new. Had to wait a few days under ATF rules before it could be re-sold. I gave it a test drive before it found its way into my trunk and its now in the safe waiting for a clean.
