I hadn't owned an AK pattern rifle since I sold one in the mid-90s for more than I paid for it back during the AWB. With the rumors around Oregon's interim session, I went out and got another one, just because I still could.
Got myself an infamous RAS-47 built by Century Arms. This all-American AK has been mostly slagged on the internet, but mine hasn't blown up yet and may never for all I know and it shoots straight enough while being totally reliable. Besides, it's a buyer's market out there and I got a great deal.
All that aside, what most impresses me about the rifle is how much it upsets everyone. It upsets AK purists. It upsets certain shooters at the range, who give it the ol' stink eye. Having its distinctive curved mags arrive at my office upset an employee (whose opinion doesn't matter). Just wait til the wooden crate of two spam cans of x39 arrives from sgammo, there will be fainting.
It's the terrorist gun. It's the rifle of revolutionaries. It's the chosen weapon of most, if not all of America's enemies. It's even on some national flags.
I kind of dig how much it is despised by so many different people here.
I also very much like that it is "disfavored" by Ginny, Floyd, and their ilk.
The AR-15 may be called the evil black rifle in a tongue in cheek fashion. The AK apparently gives off real vibes of evil.
And it's extremely southpaw friendly compared to a basic right hand biased AR. I'm in love all over again with this cheap piece of peasant firepower. After all, to the powers that be, I am just a prole. Now, apparently made into a more "dangerous" one than normal.
