  1. Oooooo, nice. May I ask what you paid? 1964, that makes it a 2A right?

     

    I just bought a '65 2A myself, $200 otd. Shot it today, very accurate... and heavy, which makes soft on the shoulder.

     

    yepper, a 2a :)

     

    it was $175 cash OTD, but that's because I buy a gun from that particular dealer every year, and it still took me a half hour of shooting the shit with him to get him down to $175. but hey, that's half the fun of a show.

     

    They are surprisingly accurate. I put 12rds thru it this afternoon, at 50 yds. ( my back yard 'picnic table range')

    The first 7 rds were in a 3" group, then i calmed down and remembered to breathe and put the last 5 rds in a nickle-sized group. what can i say, i get excited taking a new rifle out for the first time.

     

    You're right about it being heavy, too. I definitely wouldn't want to march 50 miles with it, but I still love it!

  2. ...

    On another note, anyone know how to prove that 30 round AK mags are truly pre ban?

     

    no way to prove it, except for rarer 'collectible' mags, like bakelite, aluminum waffles, or russian slabsides.

     

    I just avoid obviously post-ban ones, like promags and those bulgarian "bullet" mags (with the bullet design imprinted on the side)

     

    some more cautious people only use steel milsurps.

     

    The way i look at it, as do the troopers in my area, is no date = preban

     

    the only truly safe way, in these days of "guilty until proven innocent" is to limit yourself to these ak4710rd.jpg:haha:

     

    really, though, almost anything is fine, as long as you're not making a spectacle of yourself. (NYC and Rochester excluded because of their own 'mini-AWB's')

     

     

    edit: nice long barrel .308

  3. sorry naes, I must be man-struating.

     

    In all seriousness, It's perfectly legal. buy it, enjoy it, shoot the hell out of it. I love mine.

    It's even legal to convert it here in NY, as long as you stay away from folding stocks.

  4. Thanks for the input,

     

    the wording of these laws can be confusing.

     

    I just don't quite get how AK type rifles are not a "copy" of the original.

     

    I really like these rifles, but don't want to get into anything that could result in loosing my other firearms.

     

     

    If you think it's to much of a risk, don't get one. In fact, you ought to surrender all of your firearms, just to be on the safe side.

  5. i'd suggest liability and comp. (comprehensive)

     

    in my area at least, comp is worth having for "deer and glass" and it only adds a few bucks a month to your policy. no pun inteded

     

     

    OK, I may show my ass and age here but that hasn't been you're avatar, has it? :huh:

    no you're not going senile, it's a new one that i put up to demonstrate my lack of sensitivity.

     

    the previous one was to demonstrate my lack of culture.

  6. I've posted my affiliation and pic before, but just thought I'd share that I got short fused orders on Friday to prepare to ship out in 90 days. Once more unto the breach dear friends...

     

    Sooo, the toys will get put away for awhile but maybe I can pick up a few AK "accessories" while I'm there. :angel:

     

    Thank God for a strong wife and family. They serve the country just as much as I do.

     

    Hopefully connectivity will be better and I can see wassup on the board.

     

    Semper Gumby!

    Good luck and be safe. come back with bakelite!

  7. if it's spelling errors you guys are so fussed up about, the admin can simply add a spellchecker to the forum (easy as pie).

     

    as far as i'm concerned, 30 minutes should be enough.

     

    the problem if you let people edit too long after the actual post is that they'll change the content of the posts, thereby disrupting the history and flow of the thread (possibly rendering the following posts into incomprehensable gibberish).

     

    sure, leave it to the european to favor heavier restrictions :rolleyes: .... perhaps we should pay a per-post usage tax, as well? something along VAT lines?

     

    :P (all in fun, of course)

  8. i dunno, at least an hour would be good. 2 hrs would be plenty for most occasions.

     

     

    any limit does, however, eliminate the possibility of a nice, clean, perpetual for sale post in the marketplace.

     

    ...it even eliminates the possibility of tagging items with "SPF" in the marketplace.

     

    I understand that you don't want people "changing history", but have there really been many problems with over-editing?
