Welcome from the greater inner city metropolus of Lenoir City. . .

Man if ole Merle from Walking Dead had of survived . . .this would have been the cats meow for him. . .

Considering the obesity rates here (myself included) in Tn I would expect at least 4 out of 10 to be farly slow.  .you know with more around Golden Corral. .and less around Whole Foods. . . :panic:

the factory sights are narrow for old eyes like mine...I put meprolights on my poly which tightened my groups alot....ended up with a texas dog leg 2....like the back up peep with the meprolight front post alot although I did step drill the rear peep out a little as didnt let enough light in ....but generally just use the vortex sparc....akso love the American Defense throw mount. . you can take the optic off and put it back on or raise the dog leg for cleaning and it holds zero. . great set up crappy phone pic below.. .

Ak's are like pizza....when they are good they are real good....and when theyre bad...hell theyre still pretty good.... What I like about them....durability...dependability. they hit hard...ammo is relatively cheap...accuracy is fine enough for 7.62x39 natural trajectory even with cheap ammo....lets be honest with ourselves....ifs a 200 yard gun....but it is the worlds best 200 yard gun...and with a better sights or decent optic...repeatable accuracy is not an issue for me

I cant tell the difference shooting a milled and 1.6 mm stamped. . but I can seem to feel the "flex" of 1mm stamped gun. . .could just be in my head. But my Polytech is certainly more accurate hot than my Maadi ARM was. .   As far as recoil goes my Polytech galil side folder would leave a bruise on my shoulder after a few hundred rounds with just the factory muzzle nut. . I put an FSC 47 comp. on it and it just straight up lays there now. . .very little recoil no noticable climb. .

No complaints with my Sparc on a 7.62x39. .  .

You cant hardly go wrong with a Chinese AK.. . post ban mak 90 do have some stock limitations due to the thicker receivers. . . yes Polytechs are expensive but in my opinion worth the money. . .buy once cry once. . .Egyptian Maadis are a very good variant all except the MISR series. . . those are egyptian receivers built with chinese parts kits which are not easily compatible so at very best fit and finish will be aweful even if functional. . .a Romanian SAR 1 should be good to go. . as well as an Arsenal. I know alot of people have good luck with century built WASR's but I would not buy one without intense inspection and make sure trying different types of mags for lock up and wobble and of course canted sights. .But as far as best bang for your buck cant go wrong with a MAK 90. . . The Chinese designed AK's in 7.62x39 are reffered to as Type 56 guns and if you take the dust cover off and look at the guts of a Type 56 and any of their european cousins you will see the difference. . .     So to sum it up. . .if I was looking for best quality/value on a first AK and I knew I was going to be happy with a traditional style AK with a wood stock I would get a MAK 90. If I thought I might want to "play" with it and maybe try a sidefolding stock or what have you I would try to find an Egyptian Maadi ARM model imported by Intraac of Knoxville. . .these are good to go and the muzze threads are intact and covered by a tackwelded muzzle nut. . .

  If it helps even just a few of my friends on TGO find something they need at a reasonable price during these hard times I see nothing "nerdy" about it. . .perhaps Im not "nerdy" enough cause Im not really sure about the reference to someone posting "FIRST" on any forum...but I am truly saddened that my decision to create a thread advising of in stock 9mm ammunition has in some way offended you and I truly hope that we can still be friends. . .

Was fun while it lasted. . .

Winchester White box 100 count for $29.95. . .limit 5 I didnt get any my self Ive got enough. . but though somebody might want it     http://www.cabelas.com/product/Bargain-Cave/Shooting-Gear/Ammo%7C/pc/105591780/c/105670080/sc/105650280/Winchester-USA-Handgun-Ammunition-Per-100/705872.uts  

imho...chicom aks are 2nd to none...good looking mak...

    I have often thought this as well. . I am by no means an ammuniton effecianado but Ive always though the old Tok round with a "modern" hollowpoint would be devastating

Sportsman Guide has 700 round tin of TULA in stock. . not too bad. . .     http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=973677

is living proof that a long lost tribe of homely indians one roamed the plains and performed unholy carnal acts on slow moving buffalo...

they are off their nut...granted it wasnt in stock long but aim surplus had prvi partisan 9mm a couple days avo for 13 and change....

Oh Garufa. . everytime I see your Avatar I always crack up. . ." I can assure you professional hygiene, discretion, and animal gratification. . . Coutesy and Great Lakes Feed and Grain" Fred Garvin is the man. . .

never mind guys. . apparantly I got the last of it. . infact they just sent me and email stating they cut one box off my order

Oh yeah. . .and I dont carry mine although I have in the past. . .I carry a Glock 26. . but the ole Ruger is wearing a set of Meprolights and serves diligently as the wifes nightstand gun. . but if I had only $400.00. . .I would buy a  Ruger P95 DC which I still see occasionally for $300.00 even in todays market slap me set of Meprolights on it and feel I was good to go. . .Mine has never balked on anything from cheap steel cased crap. . .to +p+ PDR's

My Ruger P95 has hands down been the best entry level handgun I have ever dealt with.  . .
