As much as you play with 7.62 x 39 and this is your first? Every red blooded American ought to have an AK 47. Just because!

I have owned several AK-47s, but never a pre-ban. This will sit beside my arsenal SLR107FR and maybe my wife will go shooting with me now!

I will say this, I paid a very fair price for it, under market value. It came with over 400 rounds of ammunition, 15 or so magazines, a 75 round steel drum mag that I can't figure out for Jack didilly, Bayonet, stripper clips and some stuff to make loading ammo easier.

I really don't know the difference , exactly, between the two.

Very nice.

It's been raining aks all week. At least 4 great deals on this site right now.
1 in particular is a screaming hot price.

Does the drum have the 3 "rounds" as a follower? Basically, 3 linked dummy rounds - they'll look like snap caps. You should be able to see them in the drum's loading port. Have you opened the drum yet? If you have, is the 3rd follower round (the one with the tab on it) the one that's furthest inside the drum? Is the internal spring wound up, or has it been released? If you remove the 3 linked follower rounds and you don't keep tension on the spring by blocking/holding the spokes, then the spring will release, dare I say, rapidly. Then you'll have to rewind it, which is a bastidge of a PITA. Don't ask me how I know this little tidbit...

 

[Knobgoblin]

Yeah, let's see that drum

 

[fstdraw]

When I get home I will take pictures of it. No dummy rounds, doesn't seem to be any spring tension on it.

I'll wait for pics. You'll probably need to wind the spring, by the sound of it.
