I agree. Grow some! Ive never found, even under full auto fire, that the 7.62x39 was uncomfortable. There are 10 year olds all over the world that can handle them.I will say as a AR builder, I thought a AK would be a cheap piece of cake to build and shoot. I do not find it 'fun' 'cheap' or pleasurable. Now you are telling me the recoil too! What is the number of the suicide prevention hotline again?
I will try to persevere. I will bravely continue. You guys a scaring me though.
I last shot an AK in '69 and did not recall any significant recoil.
