not a big ak fan. Have had a few and have had at least one for years but they rarely leave the house. My neighbor and good friend died 2 weeks ago from a stroke at 64. He was a good guy. He liked guns but wasn't a gun nut like me. He had a buddy give him an ak and a m1 carbine. A year later he gave his some another ak. Couple days ago his son knocked on the door and handed me his dads ak. He said he already had one and he knew his dad would have wanted me to have one of his guns. Like I said im not much of a fan but that is probably one of the most cherished rifles in the house right now and sits at a place of honor in the safe right next to grandads guns. he even gave me a 1000 rounds of wolf ammo. that I wont be so sedimentel about
